 Broadcasting, perhaps the greatest invention of the last century, has come a long way; and the 
BBC is one of the most important and trusted broadcasters in the world today. 
 The British Broadcasting Company was established in 1922. Four years later, it changed its 
name to the British Broadcasting Corporation, better known as the BBC. It was not the world's first 
radio station. There had already been public radio broadcasts in Britain before 1920. 
 From the beginning the BBC was a public service radio, but also an independent operator. In 
the early days of BBC radio, there was not a lot of news on the radio. There were music, drama, 
discussions and children's programs; but news was not broadcast until after 7 p.m., to avoid 
competition with the newspapers! 
 In 1936 the BBC began the world's first television service. Only a few thousand people in 
London could receive those first flickering images. Nevertheless, people liked what they saw, and as 
the number of transmitters increased, more and more people went out to buy new television sets. In 
1937, tennis was broadcast from Wimbledon for the first time. Then in 1938, football's Cup Final 
could be seen, live, by hundreds of thousands of people for the first time ever. Since 1946, the BBC 
has become one of Britain's most famous institutions. Today it has several national television 
channels, lots of radio channels and a growing number of international services.

Mã đề 315 Page 3/4 When people hear the word “city”, they usually imagine concrete, neon signs, and lots of air 
pollution. Thanks to some clever and concerned architects, this image is starting to change. The 
concept of green cities aims to bring some beauty from rural environments into urban areas. It is not 
only about looking better though. Green cities are also trying to improve the efficiency of cities and 
raise the standard of living for people who stay in them. 
 The term “green cities” refers to cities where builders take into account several environmental 
factors before those cities are constructed or redesigned to be more physically appealing than 
traditional cities from the past. In addition, the mobility of citizens should be considered, so public 
transportation can be more convenient and travel time to work can be reduced. Energy sources should 
also be evaluated with the goal of minimizing air pollution. 
 When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time. Since 1859, its 
designers have consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs. Then in 1992, the city received a 
well-deserved makeover before hosting the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded 
its transportation system. This has reduced air pollution and more workers are using public 
transportation instead of their own vehicles. Barcelona also boasts one of the best recycling programs 
in the world. Visitors will find clear, color–coded trash bins throughout the city where they can put all 
of their materials. 
 It is no secret in Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the US. Since 1903, it has 
been an example of what American cities can accomplish with careful planning. Instead of filling its 
area with office buildings, Portland has plenty of green space for activities. It has 119 kilometers of 
running, hiking, and bike trails that allow citizens to experience the great outdoors. The city also offers 
residents creative energy plans that give them the opportunity to pay a bit extra for clean energy 
sources. For about $3 to $9 extra each month, homeowners can choose solar or wind power and help 
the environment. 
 These are only a small sample of the green cities around the world. As more people experience 
the pleasure of visiting green cities, it seems certain that the trend of urban areas going green will 
continue far into the future.
