Albert Einstein was a world-famous physicist. He was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879, but he grew up in
Munich. As a young boy, he didn’t do well at school. He liked to study math and science at home by himself.
In 1895, Einstein’s family moved to Milan, Italy. In 1901, he got a job in Bern, Switzerland. When he was
not at work, he did research on physics. He became a professor of physics at many universities such as
Berlin. But his wife did not like Berlin, so she and their sons went back to Switzerland. In 1915, he finished
his Theory of Relativity. This made him very famous. Einstein did not believe in war, so he left Germany
and went to the United States. He died in Princeton, New Jersey in 1955.

Speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many people start learning one. Some
people try at home with books and tapes. Some use the radio or TV programs; thousands go to evening
classes. If they use the language only for two or three times a week, it will take a long period of time to
learn a language, like learning at school. Some people try to learn a language by studying for six hours or
more a day. Some travel to the country where the language is spoken, to learn it. However, most people do
not have enough money to go abroad. Some people need to learn a language to do their work better. For
example, students, doctors, and scientists need to read foreign books and reports. Others need it for other
purposes. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is a hard work. Labs and good books and
tapes will help, but nothing can be as effective as a good teacher.
