QUESTION 2
Read the following text. Then, answer questions (a) (j)
Michael Lee

Michael Lee was born in Cameroon. This 17 years old


is a self taught engineer. When he was 11 years old, he
looked through waste bins in his neighbourhood to look
for scrap electronic parts. He wanted to use them to
build things.
At 13, he made his own battery. He put acid, soda
and metal in a tin can. He waited for the mixture to dry
and then wrapped tape around it. He was able to save a
lot of money on batteries using his creation.
Lee then decided to build a generator to tackle the
lack of constant electricity supply to his neighbourhood.
He used parts that he made himself or had found in waste
bins. The generator he built helped power a community
radio station too.
In fact, the radio station was another one of Lees
creation. He built that using recycled materials. He is
known as DJ Focus. He plays music at the radio station
while his friends work as journalists and station
managers.
Lee had never been more than ten miles from his
home but in 2012, he went to the United States of
America. He spoke to the Meet the Young Makers panel in
New York , presented his inventions to Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) students and lectured
engineering students at Harvard College.

Many teenagers in Cameroon want to be like Lee. He


is not only an inspiration to young people in his country
but to teenagers all over the world.
