È lunedì mattina. La classe di Mrs Parker sta parlando dei loro compiti. La settimana scorsa il compito era sulla vita di persone famose.

Mrs Parker     Silenzio, per favore! Chi sta facendo tutto quel rumore? Adesso, chi vuole parlare del suo compito? Joshua? Va bene. Non ti dispiace stare in piedi davanti alla classe. Bene. Di quale persona famosa hai scritto?

Joshua            Ho scritto su Marie Curie. Era della Polonia.

Mrs Parker     Perché era famosa?

Joshua            Era una scienziata. Non c’erano molte donne scienziate a quei tempi.

Mrs Parker     Quando nacque?

Joshua            Nacque il 7 novembre 1867 e morì nel 1934. Fece delle importanti scoperte.

Mrs Parker     Benissimo. Hai scritto su uno scienziato anche tu, Jessica?

Jessica           Sì. Ho scritto su Guglielmo Marconi.

Mrs Parker     Vieni e stai in piedi accanto a Joshua, parlaci di lui.

Jessica           Marconi fu uno scienziato e un inventore. Era italiano. Nacque nel 1896. Inventò la radio.

Mrs Parker     Grazie. Questo era molto interessante.
