Guglielmo Marconi father of the modern radio
It is impossible for us to imagine life without telephones, radios, televisions and
computers. We use these forms of communication every day, but for our great-
grandparents life was very different.
One of the greatest inventors who changed the way we communicate was
Guglielmo Marconi. He was born in Bologna, Italy, on 25 April 1874, the second
son of Giuseppe Marconi, an Italian country gentleman, and Annie Jameson, who
was from Ireland. He had a private education in Bologna, Florence and Leghorn.
In 1896 he went to England with his first invention, a system of wireless
telegraphy, and in 1899 he introduced wireless communication between France
and England across the English Channel. Then in 1900 he sent signals across the
Atlantic between Poldhu, Cornwall, and St Johns Newfoundland a distance of
2,100 miles.
In 1905 he married his first wife, Beatrice OBrien, daughter of the 14th Baron
Inchiquin. They had one son and two daughters. In 1927 he remarried and had
one more daughter.
Throughout his life he continued to invent and improve ways of communicating
around the world and he received many international awards and prizes for his
work. He died in Rome on 20 July, 1937 at the age of sixty-three.

Dear John,
Dear Jim,
How are you? I hope youre enjoying the last few days of term. Im really looking
forward to the school holidays, but I know my parents want to talk to me about
my future. I have to choose which subjects I want to study next year and of
course my choice will be important for my future job.
When I was younger I wanted to be a doctor, but Ive changed my mind and now
I want to be a lawyer because I can earn a lot of money! No, seriously, I think it
is a very interesting job and I may be able to work in another country if I join
an international company. Of course, I might not be good enough to pass all the
exams but I hope Ill succeed.
What do you think? What are you going to study?
Write back soon.
John
