Read the article about a science competition and then answer the questions.
The Young Scientist Award
Are you good at science? Are you planning to study science at university? If the answer is ‘yes’ to both
these questions, then one day you may want to enter a science competition and win a lot of money.
There are a number of different competitions you can enter. The Young Scientist Award is one of these.
This competition takes place every year in Washington in the United States. People from all around the
world can take part, but they must be students studying science.
To enter the competition, you can write about any scientific topic. Last year, entrants had to write at
least three thousand words. This year they've made it harder. You must write between four and five
thousand words. The best and most interesting entry will win! There are a number of prizes which
include day- courses at some of the top universities around the world. The two top prizes are $2,000
and $5,000.
Last year's top winner was Rosa Alvares. Rosa is from Brazil, but is in her first year at Leeds University
in England. At eighteen years old, she's the youngest person ever to win the top prize. The second top
prize winner was another young woman: Lian Wang from China. At the time Lian was finishing her
course at university. She now works as a scientist in the US. Both winners wrote about climate change.
