LISTENING

3 What do you know about Alfred Nobel and the Nobel Prizes? Discuss with your partner. Then, listen to an interview with a student about Alfred Nobel and complete the table. Write complete sentences.

Audioscript

Interviewer: Tareq, what are you studying in history at the moment?

Tareq: We are doing a project on the Nobel Prizes. Our teacher always says that they are the highest awards anyone can receive. I’m researching Alfred Nobel himself, who set up the prizes.

Interviewer: So, what can you tell me about him?

Tareq: He was born in Sweden in 1833 CE. His father was an engineer. Alfred first studied Chemistry at university in France and the USA, but then came back to Sweden in 1859 CE. He set up a laboratory with his brother, Emil, and they worked on producing a safe and a useful kind of an explosive. In one of their experiments, an explosive killed Emil Nobel, but Alfred continued in his experiments and in 1867 CE he invented a much safer explosive, which he called dynamite. He was very wealthy and when he died in 1896 CE he left over $9 million for annual prizes in five fields: Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Peace.

Interviewer: So there are five Nobel Prizes each year?

Tareq: Actually in 1969 CE they added a prize for Economic Sciences.

Interviewer: So which Nobel Prize are you hoping to get one day?
