The history of discos Have you ever wondered where the modern disco started? Before the Second World War, men and women going to nightclubs danced in couples to live bands. But in Paris during the war, jazz bands were banned in clubs. People still wanted to dance, so they took along their gramophone players instead, and the first Discotheques' were created. The idea remained popular after the war, partly because it was cheaper to pay a DJ than a whole band, and soon Parisian Discotheques were copied in the USA and other countries. It was the arrival of a dance craze called The Twist' in 1961 that really made discos though, as for the first time couples danced without touching each other. Even Jacqueline Kennedy, the wife of the US President, was photographed doing the dance. Fashion, music and technology have moved on quite a bit since then, but the basic idea was never forgotten.

Well, it happened once again. Tremor Troll had another crush. This time it was the new girl in class, Tina Troll. Tremor was very shy and reluctant to actually talk to a girl. How can I introduce myself to her? he asked his close friend, Trogmire Troll. Send her a nice text message, Trogmire suggested. I can get her number from her friend, Tammy Troll. Tremor had gotten his first cell phone just two days earlier so this would be the perfect time to enter the world of texting. Great idea! Tremor said, I can think all day in school about what Ill say. The boys got together after school and Tremor was ready. Ill say, Hi, Im Tremor, he told his friend. Trogmire entered Tinas number for Tremor and quickly typed and sent the message for him. It seemed like forever to Tremor, but in less than a minute a response triggered a musical tone from his phone. She sent me an answer! Tremor gasped, shaking all over. Trogmire, who considered himself to be a cell phone expert, said, No, she sent you a reply! Tremor stared at the screen with a confused look. This is hard to read, he groaned. Thats because we texters use all kinds of shortcuts to make typing go faster, Trogmire explained. Here, let me translate for you. It says, Tremor, you are ugly and you smell bad too. Did she really say that? Tremor asked. Yes, she really did, Trogmire replied. Tremor jumped up and shouted, This is the happiest day of my life! And so, Tremor Troll and Tina Troll became good friends. But as things often go, true romance did not blossom. Tremors crushes were always fleeting and Tina Troll was more interested in her hobby, collecting rare bed bugs, than in having a serious relationship. However, Tremor Trolls love of texting had been born and went on and on and on. 4. How much time did Tremor plan to spend on creating a message? (3 puntos)
