Alfred Nobel was born on October 21, 1833 in Sweden. His important invention was dynamite – a powerful explosive. This dynamite business made him a very rich man. One day, Alfred Nobel read about his death in a newspaper. In fact, it was his brother’s death. The reporter called him a saleman of death, “The dynamite king”. Nobel was very upset. He had invented dynamite to save lives – lives that were lost because other explosives were dangerous to use. He hated violence and war. And he did not like the world to think of him as a man of war. He thought of the best way for people to use his fortune for years. Finally he knew what to do with his fortune. Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize, an annual award to honour leaders of science, literature, and world peace. Alfred Nobel died on December 10, 1896. He was unmarried and had no children.

They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school. Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in much better portion than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children's homework. It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children! 1.Why / people / think / unneccessary / children / work / home / free time ? 2.Why / homework / unfair ?.
