Reading (the 2d term)

A MEDICAL PRODIGY

Akrit Jaswal was born in India in 1993. His parents could soon see that he was more intelligent than other children. He could talk when he was only ten months old and he could read and write at the age of two. When he was five, he could read better than most adults. Medicine was one of his favourite interests, and he decided to become a doctor. When he was six years old, doctors at his local hospital said he could watch them. He spent many hours watching them and he also read a lot of books about medicine.

Akrit started university in India at the age of eleven to study medicine. He was younger than any other student there. His professors realized that he was more intelligent than they were. He plans to finish his studies in India and then go to Harvard University in America. When he was a small child, he saw people dying in the streets in India. They couldn’t go to hospital because they were poor and didn’t have any money. Akrit wants to help people like these in the future. He wants to give them better lives.

The life of a news photographer

David is a news photographer. “I don’t take photos of celebrities or weddings,” he explains. “I take photos of important events in the news.”

Newspapers and news websites use David’s photos for their stories. “If I hear about a big storm, or an accident, I get in my car quickly. I need to get close to the action!”

David describes his favourite photo: “I was driving home when I saw a young girl in a tall tree. Her cat was in the tree, and she was trying to rescue it. The cat jumped down safely, but the girl couldn’t get down. She was stuck in the tree and crying for help. A brave man climbed up and rescued her. While he was carrying the girl down from the tree, I took a photo.”

Soon the photo was everywhere – on TV, in the newspapers, and online. David says: “For a few days, I was famous!”

Me and my phone

Sally writes about her mobile phone

I don’t often use my laptop, but my mobile phone is really important to me. I take it to school – we can’t use our phones during lessons, of course, but when there’s a break I always turn on my phone and check my messages. I have more than a hundred friends on social media!

I don’t make many phone calls, but I send lots of text messages. If my phone rings, it’s usually my mum calling. She always wants to know where I am! Using my mobile phone all the time is quite expensive, but I’m lucky – my parents pay for it.

I don’t just use my phone to communicate. I use it to listen to music, too, and to watch videos. At night I keep it next to my bed. I often get messages late at night. My mobile phone is my world!
