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!

Good afternoon! Welcome to England .  We  hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Now, I would like to tell you something about our laws.

The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy wine in the country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

The second one: noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, especially at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

The third one: crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in the country. Use pedestrian crossings(人行橫道) and do not take any chances when crossing the road.

My next point is about rubbish. It isn’t lawful to drop rubbish in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a dustbin.

Finally: smoking. It is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobaccos if you are under 16 years of age.

I’d like to finish by saying that if you need any kind of help, you can contact the police. The police will be pleased to help you. You can call, write or directly go to ask any policeman.
