[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 teaching¹⁰ 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 dug¹¹ 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 represented¹² 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 used¹³ 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 sharp¹⁴
[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 dots¹⁵.
[08:00.55]This alphabet is called Braille.
