There is a list of interesting jobs that we’ll never have again, and a
town crier is, of course, on the list. It’s been a long time since town
criers worked professionally, so there are not many people knowing
who town criers were. Today we can only see them in the movies or
at some old tourist sites. Before newspapers were invented, a town
crier, who was usually an older gentleman with a booming voice,
always dressed offically and had a little bell which he carried with
him always. His job was to go through city streets ringing the belt
and shouting the latest news as he was walking.

The occupation of the town crier was quickly replaced by radio,

television, texting, internet, and all the marvels of modern
technology. Today this occupation exists only for entertaining
purposes and as local folklore. Competitions for the best town criers
are still being held in some parts of the world like America,
Australia, Canada and England.

14. Today people can get ti know about town criers in films
and at some tourist attractions.

media were invented.

A. The birthr of town crying

C. Town criers and modern technology

desktop computer may result in a significant difference in energy
(21) ___. I’m writing this by using a laptop with power (22) ___
