Разбор

Все ответы подтверждаются аудированием: первая церемония прошла в 1901 году, награждение проводится 10 декабря — в день смерти Нобеля, а премии вручаются в Швеции и Норвегии, потому что раньше это была одна страна. Нобель свободно говорил на пяти языках, верил, что динамит поможет предотвратить войны, а деньги на премии оставил, чтобы не остаться в истории как «merchant of death».

Ответ

Alfred Nobel was a famous Swedish inventor, chemist and philanthropist. He spoke five languages fluently and invented dynamite. Although he was a pacifist, he believed that dynamite could help end wars because people would be afraid to use such a destructive weapon. However, some people called him “the merchant of death” because his invention caused many deaths. In order not to be remembered by this horrible name, Nobel left 94% of his money to establish the Nobel Prizes. The first prizes were awarded in 1901, and they are presented every year on the 10th of December, the anniversary of Nobel’s death.
