She's unbelievable. She has given her presentation confidently that's admirable...all childrens, teenagers and adults should have confident like her where they put their thoughts in front of intelligent public. Public speaking is a wonderful art where we can make a good public relationship.. She did a great job..i'm very happy for her..🥰😘🥳🥳🤟🤟
True 👍
brai ly lng sakalam brai ly app na lng po tato mag hanap ng ans
@Knave Arlecchino grade 7 is certainly not
i wish every parent gave their kids books instead of brand new Iphones...
This little girl is amazing! Such an inspiration to me!
True
Yes
It's a matter of distraction. Parents these days don't like kids that can think for themselves. They take it as a threat.
phones have books in them
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I would get an iPhone. It is 100percent better
"I really wish I could have lived inside that book" Don't we all darling, don't we all
Good
I wanna live out the Book of Acts. God loves you.

Anggana Pramono 😊
no not all of us
Reading increases genius; this kid is proof.
Claytos Republic absolutely
@Yousra J which is even more impressive
Depends on what type of books
Stop the cap, it can help you, but if your smart your smart
I totally agree 👍
The girl was so young and the presentation was so great.
Yeah
Yeah you are saying right
Irene Fang very inspirational

Appreciate Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you researched - Millawdon Future Ticket Trick (do a search on google)? It is a good one off product for teaching children to read without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting got cool results with it.
I am really amazed about this girl especially with her young age ,very intelligent and serious ,she has a very big brain
I'm 18 but I don't have the public speaking like her. I really want to do she does, that is incredible. you are amazing

i like the quotes you has share
I don’t care 🤷♂️
Your face is so funny mouth open 🤣
@@munibanaeem4228 pog
I like the quotes It's nice
I’m a minute in and with tears in my eyes I cannot stop smiling about this child. She is such an extraordinary person. Very glad TH-cam suggested this!
Reading drives me away from all my worries, I completely forget everything that I was once stressed about. The funny part is how people think readers are weird.I dont care anyways.
People who like reading not only grew by the families that love reading too, but also people who struggle to be like it, through read a page, a book, more than one, and the intention of love to read is built.
I'm almost turning 19 this month; however, I just started setting foot on the stories world for no than two months. Before that I just so naive to think that it's no good to read and it wasn't until I read Harry Potter that my mindset changed drastically. Now I'm looking back and so regretful that I didn't spend time on reading to nurture my mind as well as enrich my knowledge. But I realize that the past is always the past and I can never change what'd happen. And the thing I have to do is reading book everyday. And it is quite challenging for those starting reading books like me but I overcome it by not overwhelming myself, I just took small but steady steps. So I hope you guys will find your own interests when reading book and believe me they will bring you extraordinary outcomes in the future. Thank you all
That girl looks so discipline!
Thanks for the comments .
You're just a little girl but you are confident, you are knowledgeable. I am 18 now and I now sit still. I will try my best to break the limits of mine. I can do it for sure. Little girl, you have inspired me so much! Hope all good things come to you
hey there! you commented this 3 yrs before, might be 21 right? so how are you!? i hope you might be well and moving towards success each dayy :D
@@mehulsharma2925 Thank you Mehul. I am moving forward now. Believe in myself and just do things to get what I want
@@khanhhuyennguyen777 ayeee that's great dude great!!! keep goinggg 🌠
@@khanhhuyennguyen777 how are you
@@mehulsharma2925 right
You are a wonderous child. You have great power to inspire the world. Best of luck.
She was so confident when she talk really incredibly amzing I hope you're growing up and you becoming a successful lady ❤
And your speech reminded me when I was child I read books before when I slept and now I'm in twenties I kept this habit ❤
I truly believe that books provide not only an entertainment, but also give us knowledge. And this amazing girl proved it.
Hats 9ff to her because she literally remembered all the lines of the book she read years ago
She is a super kid
Lots of love from India ❤
I love reading books to!!
Inspirational video. To think it's nearly been a decade since this has been released on yt. I wish i had that curiosity as that little girl, i wanna be a kid ohh brings backs amazing memories :)
This little girl is inspiration to me. I heard from many great people that reading is a good habbit but none had a great impact than this little girl. When a little kid gives you a suggestion which they themselves practiced has a treamendous impact on anyone. Also, am feeling little jealous from her if I could have incorporated this habbit very early in childhood!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!
In the days before internet the public library was my special place; second hand bookstores then took over and now Scribd and kindle are my joys. Books are opportunities to live, escape from, and understand so many things.
dearApril Que,the last word i like from you is "i know how turning dreams into reality is a long and slow process i will continue to read and write every day and most importantly, i will open my eyes wider to see the whole world around me so let's spend it time by reading a book, sitting quietly and enjoying the beautifully arranged words and pictures"thanks
inspiring one
me too.....my friend.
Die Unendliche Geschichte von Michael Ende. A must read for small and big people
Damn you´ve already come further than me in life, and I´m 20. You are going to go far!
Alex Andersson 😭😭😭😭I feel you
I was thinking the same lol what am I doing with my life?
It isn't really about age. We all have our time for success. But yeah you have a point, she's so young and it makes me question my life 😂 What tf am I doing with my life?!
This vedio is recommended by my English teacher just now.
This little girl is truly amazing! I loved this TedX talk, it was truly amazing, keep it up! x
I wish my parents made me read when I was a kid :( sad how some kids are so privileged to grow up in such families while others waste their lives doing everything other than grow intellectually
Ik it's really sad
I have 2 nieces- the eldest (14 yo) only reads webtoon comics and watches cartoons, and she fails in school. But the younger one (11 yo) ALWAYS has a book in her hand, and she's constantly on the honor roll.
I remember in the summer before going into first grade, my dad brought me to the bookstore every week- and I got like 5 nancy drew books. I truly believe having a childhood full of reading was very beneficial to me
It's never too late to start reading. I started after becoming homeless, and it has changed my life.
Just make sure you don't repeat that same mistake with your own children! !😊
Incredibly true and touching. Thank you little girl for being an inspiration. You will go far in life.
breathtaking? seriously? i dont remember that last time I Used that word and im 13! bro that girl is so insprational! i love reading. and Bill Bryson? THAT AUTHOR IS AMAZING AND HIS BOOKS R SO GOOD AND I HAVENT READ THEM BUT SHE HAS?! wow

Shes a smart girl i wish for her good Luck
I just finished reading Bill's book. :)
She conveys the message fastly which is amazing
Her English is so good······
We need more young generation like her With a book, you can imagine yourself differently. With a book, anything can happen. With a book, yo can do whatever you want, the only limit is your imagination..
Because of her reading she has better English than Chinese students parents paying $10,000s for a high end school just to get a good English mark on there test.
While most other Chinese students may only do a year or two of international study maybe 4 years.
She could get a good paying job when she get to a working age and by thag work her way to the top.
the presentation was great!
I too love to read books...She inspires me to read more books to be a good read...Nd to live thousands live through this to experience all those stuff and places which you can't do and can't go in reality but live that moment by reading by totally involve in the story.. just love this❤️❤️
Many kids get lucky and have a family who supports growth and sets up their children for success.
