      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.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I

often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at

everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football

team．

    Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something

special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”

    When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，I

wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．

    I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he

hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I

 was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．

hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．

    The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．

    1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this

is the proudest moment of my life．’’

    It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a

Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

 “Cool” is a word with many meanings. It means a little cold at first. As time changes, the word gets many different meanings. We can use “cool” when we talk about something wonderful or somebody looking smart. For example. When you see a beautiful and expensive car in the street, you can say, “It is cool.” You may think the popular singer Jay Chow is cool. You can also use the word to mean something new and surprising. Here is an example. One day a teacher took the students to a farm and then asked them to write something about the visit. One of her students just wrote, “The farm is so cool.” Because he thought “cool” was the best word to show what he saw and felt. It also shows some people don’t have enough words. Without “cool”, they seem to have no other words to use. Can you think of any other words like “cool: with so many meanings? If you can they are also very “cool”.
