    Esther, from Walsall, a town of the UK, is one of the country's4college student. The talented 10-year-old girl5the Open University in January this year and is already top of the class.

    It's so interesting. she says. It was super easy. My mom taught me6a nice way.

She adds, I want to finish the7in two years. I want to have my own bank by time I'm fifteen years old8I like numbers and I like people and banking is a great way to help people.

    And when people think her parents have9her into starting university early, Ester disagrees. Esther10wanted to start when she was seven. But her mom thought she was too young. After three years of11, mother Efe agreed to take the idea at last.

Esther's mother noticed her daughter's natural ability for12shortly after she began homeschooling her when Esther was only three.13, Esther's parents took her into a private school. But after a few short weeks, Esther cried out in tears and she said, I don't want to go back to that school. They14don't let me talk!

    Do you want to be a TV news reporter? People often ask me 1 I love my job. Well, it's very exciting. I'm the first to know about important news stories. I travel around the world and I talk to people. I find out what is 2 in different places. I talk to some important and famous people. I've talked to people in the government, 3 famous sportsmen, sportswomen and film stars. I ask people to tell me about 4 lives. I want to know how they feel.

    A lot of people want to work in TV news, 5 you have to be energetic and creative. You have to show that you 6 do it. You must learn how to use a video camera, to write reports, and to speak to the camera. What's the best 7 to learn? Your school or college TV station is a good place to 8, but you have to get a job!

    Most people start with an unpaid job, so they can 9. The best place to learn is at a small station. There aren't many people, and as a result, you get better 10. I had an unpaid job at a small station, and one night, when everyone else was ill, I read the news on air. I did well, and as a result, I got my first paid job!

    Hello, everyone. I am going to tell you something about my 1.

    My brother Tom is a tall and nice boy with short brown hair. He 2 basketball at school, so he is very popular. 3, he is very funny. He often tells me funny stories and makes me 4.

    I have two sisters, Rose and Mary. They're twins. They look 5. They both have long blonde hair and small eyes. 6 in some ways, they are different. Rose swims very well, and she wants to be one of the best 7 in the future. Mary dances very 8. She hopes she will be a dancer when she grows up.

    I am a shy boy. I wear glasses. I don't like to talk with others very much. I am 9 than my brother and sisters. So I want to make friends with who are very different from 10 .

    As a child, I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others.

    I still remember it was an early autumn. Some1started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father's vest(背心)instead of 2. At that time, I was getting to have a 3 size than my father, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was4by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her5thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house6 my mother could stop me.

    Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, "See what your son has done. "Instead of saying he would scold (责备)or beat me, my father7 asked my mother to mend the Later when my mother told me about my father's response(反应), I felt terribly sorry for my bad behavior(行为). My father's gentle kindness taught me a lesson which I would8 forget.

    On that day, I decided not to let anger 9me any longer. Of course, there are times when I am angry. However, whenever that happens, I will try to remember my father's10 . It always reminds(提醒)me to think about others' feelings when I get angry.
