[05:27.92]Reading the Rosetta Stone

[05:29.77]Jean Champollion (1790-1832)

[05:34.03]was very good at languages.

[05:35.99]By the time he was 16 years old,

[05:38.23]he had learned seven languages.

[05:40.69]Later,he learned five more languages.

[05:43.56]He learned Chinese,too.

[05:45.52]When he was 18,he began teaching 10 history at university.

[05:49.49]He was younger than many of his students!

[05:52.05]Jean was very interested in ancient Egypt

[05:55.81]and in 1821 he began to study the Rosetta Stone.

[05:59.97]A group of soldiers had found this stone at Rosetta

[06:02.92]when Jean was still a young boy.

[06:05.06]It had lain under the sand

[06:06.71]for hundreds of years until they dug 11 it up.

[06:09.27]There was a lot of strange writing on the stone.

[06:11.70]The writing was a message in three languagues.

[06:14.54]One of the languages was ancient Egyptain.

[06:17.10]However,until Jean had worked out its secret,

[06:20.89]no one could read this language.

[06:23.24]Ancient Egyptian wasn't written with letters and words like English.

[06:27.00]It was written with signs.

[06:28.86]At first,the signs were thought to represent things and ideas,

[06:32.70]but Jean believed that some of them represented 12 sounds.

[06:36.07]By the time he had completed his study of the Rosetta Stone,

[06:39.31]he had found fifteen of these signs.

[06:42.18]Today,it is possible to understand

[06:44.53]what people in Egypt wrote 4,000 years ago.

[06:48.29]2.Listen to Annie's speech about a young inventor

[06:53.94]and draw lines to complete the sentences.

[06:56.81]As a child,Louis Braille

[06:58.95]had wanted one thing more than anything else.

[07:01.88]He had wanted to read.

[07:03.63]He was a clever child

[07:05.30]and he had done well at school

[07:07.05]but he couldn't read  because he was blind.

[07:09.69]He hadn't always been blind,however.

[07:13.24]Until he was three years old,

[07:15.20]he had been able to see as well as anyone else.

[07:18.75]But then he had a terrible accident.

[07:21.70]Louis'father made shoes

[07:23.74]and he often used 13 to take Louis with

[07:26.01]when he went to his shop.

　　[07:27.87]One day,when he had left the shop for a moment,

[07:31.11]Louis started to play with his tools.

[07:33.85]The tools were very sharp 14

[07:35.81]and Louis hurt his eyes.

[07:37.85]He hurt them so badly

[07:39.81]that he was never able to see again.

[07:42.55]While he was at school,

[07:44.12]Louis had read a few books for blind people.

[07:46.76]They had very large letters

[07:48.61]and were difficult to read.

[07:50.47]He wanted to invent a better way for blind people to read and he did!

[07:54.33]By the time he was fifteen years old,

[07:56.58]he had invented a special alphabet using raised dots 15.

[08:00.55]This alphabet is called Braille.
