Welcome to Youth Radio, your radio.  Here we're proud to introduce three Amazing Kids.
Gina, who is thirteen years old, got first prize in the "Young Cook of the Year" competition and she wants to write a recipe book for kids. "I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children to use," she says. Gina learned by watching her father, who's also good at cooking, in the kitchen.  She wants to encourage other children to cook because "everyone needs to eat so it's a skill that will always be useful!"
Seventeen-year-old Brian used to love running until he was hurt in a serious accident three years ago. He lost part of one leg and didn't even expect to walk again. Now he's an athlete who has recently taken part in a long race.  "After my accident I wanted to give up," he says. "But now I'm happy to be alive and able to continue running."
Helen has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor. Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town.  "That gave me an idea," says the clever sixteen-year-old. It took her over a year to invent a small special machine that tells car .drivers when a train is coming. One company is already interested in selling it, so it may be in he shops soon!
Do you know a child like them? Please e-mail us at amaxingkids@ mail. com and tell us why he or she should be on our radio. Thank you.

Mr. Evans lived in a city. He was a bus driver in a company three years ago. He drove well and the people in the company all liked him. But a terrible accident changed（改变）his life. One spring he drove his bus with twenty- four workers to visit a place of interest. They had a good time there. But on their way back home, their bus was hit by a truck（卡车）because the truck driver was drunk（醉）. Four workers were killed and half of the rest of the workers got badly injured. Mr. Evans was also injured. After he came out of hospital, he left the company and became a traffic policeman. He tried his best to stop the drivers from breaking the traffic riles. He worked hard and was strict with the drivers, especially the drivers that were drunk. So they were afraid of him. But the people liked him, for he was a good policeman.

Peter is a sixth-grader at Woodland Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years. John, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Woodland Secondary School. He began smoking four years ago. “Smoking is part of my life,” John said. Peter and John are not those boys’ real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens or earlier.

A study of 8,000 London students shows that smoking is a problem for many British kids. More than 21% of middle school students and 6 % of primary school pupils said they smoked. “If young people start smoking early, it will be very hard for them to give up later on,” said a professor.

Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking,  that number will go up to about ten million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. So we have to learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.
