Audioscript

A: What’s your favourite subject at school?

B: I love history. It’s really interesting to learn about heroes from the past and to see how people lived. We’ve just done a project on Alexander the Great. He was amazing!

A: Why is he so famous?

B: He was a brilliant soldier and leader. He became king of Macedonia when he was only twenty. Then he conquered the Persian Empire in just a few years. He didn’t lose a single battle against them.

A: When did he live?

B: About 2,500 years ago.

A: What else did you learn about him?

B: Well, his teacher was the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle. Also, he created over seventy cities. I didn’t realise that he built the city of Alexandria in Egypt and named it after himself.

A: Wow!

B: And he was an inspiring leader that made his soldiers very loyal to him. He reigned for thirteen years, but his soldiers refused to follow him only once.
