Oxford Bookworms Library Factfiles Level 3: Information Technology

Classics, modern fiction, non-fiction and more. Written for secondary and adult students the Oxford Bookworms Library has seven reading levels from A1-C1 of the CEFR. It is hard to imagine the modern world without information technology. At home, at work, and at play, mobile phones, emails, and computers have become part of daily life. The story of information technology is a story of machines - from the ancient abacus to the small powerful computer chips oftoday. But itis also a story of people. Meet a woman who wrote computer programs two hundred years ago, a teenage millionaire, a man who began with a paperclip and ended with a house - and meet the criminals who want your name and your money. CEFR B1 Word count 9,614"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of story."  David R. Hill, Director of the Edinburgh Project on Extensive Reading.
