Recently, a show called Child Genius (《天才儿童》) gets popular in Britain. The show invites a group of children competing a series of tasks to get the title of child genius. The tasks included subjects such as science, memory and spelling with a twist: the words were from Olds English.

But most of viewers are surprised at a parent who is strict with their 11-year-old son in preparing for Child Genius.

Maths wizz Gar Jun, 11, from Birmingham, successfully qualified to the next round of the show and amazed judges by his outstanding performance in the competition.

However, his mum Faye who owns a Chinese restaurant, said he could do better and told him to cut out the silly mistakes. Gar told people that sometimes his mum let him have a rest for only three minutes when he studied. His mum thought Child Genius was really a test to prove the Chinese education system could work very well. Fans were also shocked by Gar Jun’s father, who warned the son that his“only”choice was to come first.

While other children are addicted to computer games and football, Gar Jun likes nothing better than solving a meaty equation or studying his favorite subject–DNA. After spending two of the first three years of his life in China, Gar Jun came to Birmingham unable to speak English. But after three months, he could speak it fluently. Soon he could read and write very well. At the age of eight, Gar Jun passed his Grade Five music exam for the piano and the violin (the highest level is eight). Gar Jun enjoys rugby and hopes to become a doctor in the future.

His parents encourage Gar Jun and taught him themselves before he was old enough for school. Faye said, “Every single child has potential (潜力). I think we have to put some pressure. If a child has the talent, parents need to play their part in bringing out that talent.”

While she won some praise, other people blasted her strict regime. One tweeted said, “Gar Jun’s mum is beyond! Let your children have fun! It’s terrible to see him pushed so hard!!!”

Dear Henry,

I’m glad to know you are coming to my house next Sunday. But it is a little difficult to find my house. Let me tell you the way. Go out of the train station and go down West Street to the north. Don’t turn left at the crossing, and just walk straight on. You can see a bus stop near a movie theatre on your left. Take the No. 2 bus there and get off at the fifth stop.

Then you are on Garden Street. Go down the street and walk until you see a park. Walk through the park and you can find a bank on your right. My house is opposite the bank. I will meet you at the gate of my house. See you then.

Your friend,

Tom
