Writing:

　　Madame Curie was a world famous woman scientist. She was born in a teacher's family in Poland in 1867 and died 1934.

　　From her early childhood, she loved to study and hoped to become a scientist. She finished middle school at the age of 16. At 24 she left for Pairs and entered Pairs University. She lived a very simple life and studied very hard.

　　Madame Curie devoted her whole life to the study of science. She won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 and for Chemistry in 1911.

　　It is not easy for a woman to succeed in her work. It is even more difficult for a woman to win the Nobel Prize twice. So Madame Curie will always be remembered as a great woman.
