Упражнение 2b, страница 48

Послушайте и прочитайте еще раз текст. Почему автор считает, что Мария Кюри была успешной?

Ответ:

The writer thinks that Marie Curie is successful because she worked hard and kept her goal despite husband's death and hard life. But she didn't give up. She didn't even know how harmful could be working with radioactive elements, so she actually sacrificed herself in the name of science.
Автор думает, что Мария Кюри успешна, потому что она усердно работала, следовала своей цели, несмотря на смерть мужа и тяжелую жизнь. Она не сдалась. Она даже не представляла, какой вред может нанести работа с радиоактивными элементами, так что фактически она принесла себя в жертву во имя науки.
