Most of us never thought about making an educational toy (益智玩具) by ourselves. If we need an educational toy, we will go to the nearest store to buy it. But things are not so easy in the third world countries. Some families even have no food to put on the table, so it is not possible for them to buy educational toys.
Then how to get these kids interested in science The Indian engineer Arvind Gupta thought about this question for a long time. While still an engineering student at college, he helped to teach the children who were too poor to go to school. It took him five years to design cars at India’s Tata Motors after he finished school.
But he didn’t want to do that for the rest of his life. He took a year’s course and joined the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Project. Mr Gupta found the whole project so helpful, so he decided to leave his high-paying job and started designing educational toys to help the poor children.
When the Internet became a popular learning tool, Mr Gupta started a website (网站) called Toys from Waste, and now it includes more than 260 videos. About 50,000 children and teachers visit the website every day to learn from the videos. It has helped some young children win very important science competitions.

Dear headmaster,
I’d like to recommend Tom for the Most Beautiful Teenager Award.
Tom is a student in Grade 8．He is the tallest boy in our class. He has a square face and often wears a smile on his face. Tom has a good sense of humour. He tells us funny jokes and always makes us laugh. He is a true friend and never says a bad word about other people. When something worries us, we can always go to him for help.
He likes travelling. This summer holiday, he plans to visit some places of interest with his friends. Also, he enjoys everyday life and is crazy about DIY. For example, he once put in a brighter light in his bedroom. He often helps others repair things too. Last week, he became a new member of Helping Hands Club. He thinks we are like a big family on the earth and it is important to help people in need. If everyone gives a helping hand, it must make a great difference to the whole world.
I think Tom has all the qualities to be the the Most Beautiful Teenager. I hope you can agree with me.
Yours faithfully,
Zhang Jian
