Jihad Butto comes from Israel. She has seven children. She loves to learn new things. Butto leaves school in 1948. She is only 12 years old.

She gets older. Her friends know that she loves to learn. They tell her about a class at a college. She starts the class. She is 81 years old. She learns about languages, religion, and mathematics.

Butto finishes college last week. She is 85 years old.

Some people think that teachers help her. It is not true. Butto helps other students. She says that people can study at any age.

Difficult words: college (a university), religion (the belief in a god), age (how old a person is).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
