A Read the text below.

Gifted children
Throughout history there have been child prodigies (very gifted children) – think of famous
composers, musicians, inventors and academics. But can these children have a normal childhood
playing with their friends and doing the things that children do, or should they be treated
differently?
In 2002, teenage siblings Iskander Yusof (15) and his sister Noraisha (19) were awarded degrees
in Mathematics at Warwick University in England. Neither of them went to school before
university. Instead, they were taught at home by their father, who is a mathematician, and their
mother, a chemistry researcher. Iskander, who started his university course at the age of twelve,
was given a first class honours degree.
The two teenagers shared a house near the university campus while they were studying. When
they were asked if they felt sad about not going to school and having a ‘normal’ childhood, neither
of them felt that they had missed out.
There is another prodigy in the family – their older sister, Sufiah. She went to Oxford University
in 1997 at the age of thirteen. Her story was reported in the newspapers because she disappeared
for a short time when she was fifteen. She said that she felt her parents put too much pressure
on her. But the family’s youngest daughter, Zuleihka, is following her older siblings by taking her
‘A’ levels at the age of eight instead of the usual eighteen.
