"I don't remember how many books I've read so far, but I like reading books written in English. Many times I read until 11 pm, and my mother often asked me what I was reading that made me forget to sleep," said the 9-year-old female reader.

Lam Chi does not go to an outside center to learn English, she only learns English at school. "When I was little, my mother often spoke English to me at home. I think that's why I like English and like reading books in English. My mother is an office worker at a company," Lam Chi added.

Notably, this 4th grade girl is writing stories at home, mostly in English. Previously, she wrote in notebooks, but now her mother has lent her a computer to type. She has not counted the exact number of stories she has completed. "I dream of becoming an author in the future, and publishing my own book. My idol is British writer JK Rowling," Lam Chi revealed.
