Three years ago I went with some friends on a skiing holiday in the Italian Alps. We flew to Milan airport from London and then took a coach to Trivera. There was a lot of snow on the mountains and the sun shone every day. The snow conditions were great. We skied a lot and for some days I took lessons at ski school to learn new techniques. In the evenings we went to the local discotheque. We danced and drank and met a lot of people. At the beginning of the holiday I was an intermediate skier, but now, after those ten days, I’m an advanced skier.

How long did he stay in the Alps?

In 1714 Ben was sent to school that lasted the year round. There was no summer vacation.

The opening bell rang at 8 a.m. in winter and at 7 a.m. in summer.

Girls were not allowed to enter. All the teachers were men. The boys were whipped even for a mistake in their lessons.

The books were written in Latin. The pupils were to study Latin all morning and in the afternoon they studied Latin again. Every boy had to learn everything by heart.

Franklin’s curiosity about natural phenomena was observed from his boyhood. In the winter of 1746 - 1747, he began his experiments with electricity. He did not know what electricity was, but he knew that it could pass through a metal wire. The result of this experiment was the lightning conductor.
