Passage²⁹
Paul Johnson was 16 years old. He was very shy³⁰ and didn't talk much to anyone³¹. But his
science teacher, Mr Smith, noticed³² that there was something different about him and he showed
great concern³³ for Paul.
Paul didn't talk much to anyone but he did talk with Mr Smith. "I want to learn all about
science," Paul said³⁴. He began to study science in the first-year class. After a few³⁵ days, he
appeared³⁶ in the second-year class. Paul studied very hard. Soon he knew everything that second-year
class was learning³⁷. Then he read all the science books in the school library.
One day after school Mr Smith found³⁸ Paul in the classroom working on the blackboard. Paul
was drawing³⁹ pictures.
"What are you doing?" asked Mr Smith, with interest⁴⁰. "What are these drawings⁴¹ about?"
"I want to invent⁴² things. These are the drawings of my first invention⁴³," Paul answered.
"What's your invention?" Mr Smith said.
"I have an idea for television⁴⁴--for a way of sending pictures through the air," Paul answered.
"Please let me tell you about it, Mr Smith. You are the only person⁴⁵ who can understand what I
have done." It's amazing⁴⁶ that a boy of 16 showed his teacher drawings for television.
