There are many ways to honour famous people. In Britain for example new banknotes have been introduced. The Queen is still on one side. And on the other side of them are famous people of Britain. On the new ten pound banknote the other side shows Charles Dickens and twenty pound - Michael Faraday. Do you know who they were? Let's look up in the LCG.

Michael Faraday (1791 - 1867) - an English chemist and physicist, who discovered the connection between electricity and magnetism and produced the first dynamo.

1. Чтение текста с последующим пониманием прочитанного

And now I want you to read a short text about an unusual monument in the USA. Mount Rushmore

In South Dakota, USA, there is an interesting place to visit. It's a granite (гранит) mountain. Four faces are carved (высечены) on the mountain. They are the faces of four famous presidents. The presidents are Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt. The construction of the monument began in 1925 and lasted till 1941 when the sculptor Gutzon Borglum died. Then his son finished the monument. These gigantic heads are eighteen meters (sixty feet) high. They are carved out of the granite of the mountain and are visible for over eighty kilometers. The monument is now an important place of interest which is visited by thousands every year. The name of this place is Mount Rushmore.

Questions about the text:
