Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other
things from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day, when
Louis was 3 years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly, the knife slipped and hit him in the eyes. He
soon became completely blind.
When he was 10 years old, he entered the National Institute for the blind in Paris. One day, his class
went to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing was very interesting for Louis. It showed

Camping holidays are always popular with students and young people – they are a cheap and easy
way to see a country. People often travel by train, by coach or on foot, so one thing is important to
remember before starting: you can only take with you what you can carry – usually in a rucksack on your
back. If you travel with a friend, of course some items can be shared – a tent, a gas stove, food. Other things
must be taken by each person – clothes, footwear, a sleeping bag.
So you must be sure of how much you can carry. Most people find 10 kg about right. Much more

than that and you need another holiday when you get home! And remember when the weather is wet your
rucksack is heavier.

The country is more beautiful than a town and more pleasant to live in. Many people think so, and
go to the country for the summer holidays though they cannot live there all the year round. Some have a
cottage build in a village so that they can go there whenever they can find the time.
English villages are not all alike, but in some ways they are not very different from one another. Almost
every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen from many miles around.
Surrounding the church is the churchyard, there people are buried.
The village green is a wide stretch of grass, and houses or cottages are built round it. Country life is now
fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house. Most villages are
so close to some small towns that people can go there to buy what they can’t find in the village shops.
