3)Einstein was not a remarkable child. He began taking piano lessons at the age of six. He didn't seem to be particulary talented. He liked day-dreaming and playing. He didn't enjoy talking very much. In fact, he waited till he was three before starting to talk. In spite of not having a very exciting childhood, Einstein later appeared to have a vivid memory of it. He remembered being impressed by how a compass works and by the mysterious force which made the compass needle point in a given direction.
52)Kim: I’ll never forget going to America for the first time. I was incredibly excited although I was trying to act cool and casual.
Tom: I know. I remember being quite envious because I wanted to go there too.
Kim: Yes, I know. I was a bit over the top, wasn’t I? I’m sorry for behaving so badly.
Tom: Yes, you were! You just went on talking about America constantly. It was quite funny though when I think back. You hardly let me say a word.
Kim: I’m sorry, but you know that in my excitement I nearly left a lot of things behind like my camera and my money.
Tom: I didn’t know you had such a bad memory.
Kim: I’m not usually so forgetful. I had a lot on my mind. Anyway, I don’t remember actually leaving anything behind in the end.
Tom: How did you feel when you first arrived there?
Kim: I remember worrying about what to do and where to go. I wanted to see everything but I didn’t know where to begin.
Tom: So where did you go first?
Kim: Well, we started in New York. At first, the traffic was so bad that I was afraid to cross the road. But it got easier, I saw the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty and lots of other things. It was incredible! I love New York!
