        Dear Malala,
        I read about the horrible thing that
        happened to you a few years ago.
        I read that you were supporting
        girl-child education, so the Taliban
        shot you, but luckily you survived
        and instead of being scared of the
        Taliban, you were very brave. I
        also read that you are the youngest
        person ever to win the Nobel prize.
        I was very impressed and admire
        your work on supporting the girl-
        child education.

                          Anagh Shanker, P4 B
