A Very Young Influencer – level 1

26-11-2020 07:00

Sirio is seven years old. He is from Italy. He is disabled. It means that he cannot do some things like other children can. Sirio cannot speak. His mother must feed him.

But Sirio is an Instagram star. He is one of Italy’s youngest influencers. Other people watch what he does. He inspires others. They see that disabled people can be happy.

Sirio’s mother runs his Instagram page. She says that people must change how they think about disabled people. Many people feel sorry. But disabled people can be happy. They can live good lives. This is the reason why Sirio has his Instagram page.

Difficult words: influencer (a person who changes other people’s lives through social media), inspire (to motivate somebody to do something new or different), feel sorry (to be sad when something bad happens to somebody else).

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