I've noticed you sometimes have problems spelling names quickly and saying numbers. So here's an exercise I propose: in the list below, you'll find the names of people who were important for Education at some point in history. Some of them, unfortunately, did not approve the education of women. You may want to reasearch a bit and learn something about these landmark names.
Anyway, the task is: Spell their lastnames and say the dates of birth and death. For example: "Aristotle, which is spelled a-r-i-s-t-o-t-l-e, was born in three hundred and eighty-four and died in three hundred and twenty-two before the Christian era"
Of course you don't have to write anything; this is supposed to be an oral exercise.;-)
