Основное содержание урока

D: Mum don’t turn off the TV.

M: Why?

D: There is a programme about famous people. I wanted to watch it.

Welcome to the Famous People on Channel 5. Today’s famous person is Albert Nobel. Everybody knows about the Nobel Prize and there’s no scientist in the world who wouldn’t like to get it. But what else is Alfred Nobel famous for? Today’s guest is Bernard Smith. He specializes in the biography of Nobel.

Alfred Nobel was born on the October, 21 1833 in Stockholm. His family wasn’t very rich and had 8 children, but only three children survived.

Alfred had been interested in inventing new things since childhood. His father, who was the inventor himself, helped Alfred a lot.

As a child Alfred Nobel attended school only for one year. This school was the only formal education he had ever got. But Nobel wanted to learn about the new things, so he studied Chemistry in Russia, Europe and America. He also could speak 6 languages and wrote plays.

Alfred Nobel is famous for the invention of dynamite.

He didn’t want to be remembered as a person who earned his money by selling guns, so his last will was to establish a Prize for outstanding inventions and the Peace Prize for making the world a better place for living.

Alfred Nobel never got married.

He died in 1896 in Italy.

Let’s have a look at some words that can help us if we want to talk about a famous person. Try to guess the meanings of these words.

biography – a story of somebody’s life
bring up – be raised by
study – learn
be born – start living
died – stop living
create – make something new
