Read the previous lessons (1-4) on Begum Rokeya and Helen Keller, and complete the table with information from the texts.

| | Begum Rokeya | Helen Keller | |---|---|---| | 1. Born in | 1880 | 1880 | | 2. Nationality | Bengali (at that time Indian) | American | | 3. Family | | | | 4. Physical Condition | | | | 5. Education | | | | 6. Aim in Life | | To help disabled people to learn | | 7. Achievements | | | | 8. Death | | |

Now read the completed chart and write one or two sentences for each of the 8 points in the chart. Look at the examples.

Point 1: Begum Rokeya was born in 1880. Helen Keller was also born in 1880.

Point 5: Begum Rokeya was self-educated and learned Bangla and English from her brother. But Helen Keller got formal education from school and college.

Notice: In point 1, “also” is used when the same information is used. In 5, “but” is used when different pieces of information are used.
