Reading

Last month, Amir's class visited a local radio station to learn how radio programmes are made. A presenter called Mr Diallo showed the students the studio where he reads the news every morning. Amir was surprised to see how many buttons and screens were on the big desk in front of the microphone. Mr Diallo explained that a producer sits in another room and tells the presenter what to say through headphones. At the end of the visit, three students were chosen to read a short weather report into a real microphone, and Amir was one of them. He felt very nervous but also excited, and his voice was even played on the radio the next day. Amir now wants to become a radio presenter when he grows up.
