1 Months and dates
Be aware that not all countries express dates with numerals in the same way. American usage calls for a month/day/year date format (January 1st, 2000), the United Kingdom and much of Europe use a day/month/year format (1st January, 2000). |

6 Morse Code Day
Did you know that Morse Code Day is also celebrated around the world? Listen to the audio and select True or False.
Morse Code Day is celebrated on January 11th every year. Even today, there is controversy about who created the Morse code: Samuel Morse or Alfred Vail. That is why it is celebrated on January 11th because in 1838, both Morse and Vail did the first public demonstration of the electric telegraph together.
In 1836, Samuel F. B. Morse was working on the code that changed the way the world transmitted information for good.
He developed the device and technology that served for communication until the radio became fully developed. Even then, radio was often used to transmit Morse code over long distances because even weak signals could carry a comprehensible message in Morse code. What they developed was a coded language that a human can translate by ear, without a decoder.
Originally, it was developed in English, but the alphabet has been modified for many other languages. It was used in aviation or radio and it can be transmitted using mirrors or flashlights. The most amazing thing about the Morse code is that it can help people with disabilities. Using the code, they can communicate by simple tapping, which makes the code extraordinary even today.
