Albert Einstein,     1     is regarded as the greatest scientist in modern physics, was born in Germany on 14 March 1879. At the age of 17, he     2    (admit) to the university in 1896 and graduated four years later.

After     3    (graduate) from university, Einstein first worked as a clerk in the Swiss patent office. While working there, he continued to study,     4    (earn) a doctorate in physics in 1905. That same year, he published four extraordinary physics papers and     5    (gradual) became world famous. In 1922, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics     6     his explanation of the photoelectric effect.

When Hitler came to power in Germany, Einstein, who was Jewish, found the doors of study     7    (close) to him. So he had to flee Germany and then went to the US and took     8     a position as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Although he was a genius, he sometimes     9    (forget) things, like his friends’ birthdays. But despite his peculiarities, he was loved by his     10    (friend) and neighbours. Einstein passed away on 18 April 1955, and the whole world mourned the great loss of a brilliant scientist.

Peter Tabichi,     1     math and science teacher who has worked to change life for students in a poor area in Kenya, has won the $l million Global Teacher Prize for 2019. Over 10,000 teachers from 179 different countries took part in the competition this year. Mr. Tabichi     2     (choose) from among the ten final teachers.

Mr. Tabichi works al Keriko Secondary School in Pwami Village, Kenya. The school is in a poor area     3     faces many challenges. The classes are huge - there are about 58 students for every teacher.

The school also does not have many     4     (teach) materials that are common in     5     schools. There is only one computer at the school, and the Internet connection is not very good. Still, Mr. Tabichi has been able to lead his students to great results. He has tried     6       (build) on things that the students are already interested in and good at. In the last three years, the number of students     7       (double), and yet there are far     8     (few) behavior problems than there were before Mr. Tabichi started.

He also helps the families of his students and the other people in the area. Once every three or four years, the area is hit by a serious drought. Mr. Tabichi has worked to teach the local people     9     to grow plants that can survive even when there isn’t much rain.

Mr. Tabichi said that if he won the     10     (compete), he would like to use the money to improve his school. He wants to help build u the science program. He hopes to buy more computers and get the school a better Internet connection.

“To be a great teacher, you have to be very creative, you have to do more and talk less.” he says.
