1) Read the text and answer the questions. A scientist from India, Sugata Mitra, has developed a new theory about education. He concluded that if a child is interested in something, if he questions facts and wants to know more, he will learn new information easily. What is more, a child will surely learn even if he or she does not have teachers. The scientist explored the curious nature of children. In his studies he tried to find different ways to encourage the curiosity of children, even without teachers. While working on the problem, he began to use computers. He believes that computers can make education in developing countries better. "There will always be places where there are no good schools. What I am looking for is to study how technology can make the education of children better, especially through self-study." Starting his work in India, Mitra moved to the UK. He is currently a professor at a university. And he is working out new ways to use technology for education. But he continues his work in India, teaching students through the internet. Emma Grawley is a school teacher in the UK. Mitra worked with her students there and now Emma uses the new methods when she explains a new topic in science. First, her students are allowed to explore it. Mitra is sure that his studies will help children think about their future.
