Two teenage geniuses

Задание перед чтением :

What do teenagers like doing in your country?

Think of three things and tell the others in the class.

Разделитесь на две группы, и читайте:

    Группа A: Read about Ivan Mirsky.

    Группа B: Read about Jaya Rajah.

1. Ivan Mirsky is thirteen and he is the number 13 chess player in the world. He was born in Russia but now lives in America with his father, Vadim. They live in a one room flat in Brooklyn. Ivan doesn’t go to school and his father doesn’t have a job. They practice chess problems all day, every day, morning, afternoon, and evening.

Ivan was different from a very young age: he could ride a bike when he was eighteen months old and read before he was two. He could play cards at three and the piano at four. When he was twelve, he was the under-20 chess champion of Russia.

His father can’t speak English and can’t play chess, either! Ivan translates for him. Vadim says, ‘I know that I can’t play chess, but I can still help Ivan. He and I don’t have any friends – we don’t want any friends. Other teenagers are boring! We don’t like playing sports or watching TV. We live for chess!’

2. Jaya Rajah is fourteen but he doesn’t go to school. He studies medicine at New York University in a class of twenty-year-olds. Jaya was born in Madras in India but now lives in a house in New York with his mother, father, and brother. They can all speak English fluently. His father is a doctor.

Jaya was different from a very young age. He could count before he could say ‘Mummy’ or ‘Daddy’. He could answer questions on calculus when he was five and do algebra when he was eight. Now he studies from 8.15 to 4.00 every day at the university. Then he studies at home with his father from 6.30 to 10.00 every evening. Jaya doesn’t have any friends. He never goes out in the evenings, but he sometimes watches TV. He says, ‘I live for one thing – I want to be a doctor before I am seventeen. Other children of my age are boring. They can’t understand me.’
