The “BRIT School” in Croydon, south London, is no ordinary school. You won't see whole classes trying hard to stay awake in French lessons. You won't find the students at this school hanging around the park { l }. You're more likely to find students mixing tracks, practising
their dance routines or doing voice exercises. Homework could be anything from writing an
episode of a soap { m } to choreographing a dance; { e }, this is a school where kids actually want to go.
There are over 750 rising stars between the ages of 14 and 19 at the BRIT School. Everyone under 16 studies normal GCSEs '''a''' (''The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is the name of an exam, taken by 14-16-year-old secondary school students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.''). After 16 you can do basic and advanced classes in media-related subjects   { i }. As it's the UK's only non-fee-paying entertainment school, competition for places is tough. The children have summer holidays like other kids, but for the school, the summer is busier than ever. Each year, hundreds of teenagers, sponsored by Sky Television, follow a three-day residential course at the school, and some of these may join the school as full-time students after the holidays. Walk into the school on a typical day in the summer and you will find a large number of activities going on. There may be the sound of bongos coming from the World Music class, { b } or a group of students assembled in a recording studio. Everywhere you look { g } - why couldn’t school always be like this?

Blake Ross, 19, a computer science student

(!at the Stanford University) (at Stanford University) (!at University of Stanford)

, is a relaxed guy whose interest

(!lied) (!laid) (lay) 

in playing computer games when he was a child. Since then he

(has developed) (!developed) (!had developed)

great interest

(!for) (!of) (in)

programming. For almost three years his name

(!had been linked) (!is linked) (has been linked)

with a serious threat to Microsoft’s internet browser. When he was just 17 years old, Blake made the computer breakthrough that

(led) (!lead) (!had led) 

to the internet browser Firefox  

(!that is) (, which is) (!, what is) 

now the second most popular browser in the world and growing fast. Mr Ross was a very young starter in the computer field.

(!With seven) (!At age of seven) (At seven)

he spent many hours at the computer playing SimCity and even designed his own virtual city. By the age of ten he

(!already created) (had already created) (!has already created)

his own website and soon he was reporting software errors to companies online. Netscape discovered his bright talent and he was introduced to the Mozilla Foundation; there he

(used to work) (!was used to work) (!was used to working)

on a project which developed into Firefox. There are many examples of youngsters making it big with ideas for the computer world. The most famous of all is Bill Gates, who  

(!has found) (!had found) (founded) 

a company with a few schoolfriends back in 1975; today his company Microsoft is worth many billions of dollars.It won’t take long until Firefox, too,

(!will be making) (!will make) (makes) 

big money. Its designers try

(!taking away) (!with taking away of) (to take away)

annoying aspects of browsers such as viruses and in addition have introduced a new way of browsing. This means you can see all sites in a single window.

This doesn’t sound 

(!specially) (special) (!excited)

but when you’ve used it you realize how user-friendly it is. When asked what he thought of his success, Ross smiled: “If my mum hadn’t allowed me to spend so much time at the computer, I   

(wouldn’t be)(!wouldn’t have been)(!weren’t)

so successful now. When reporters wanted to know whether Stanford girls are crazy about computer developers, he answered: “I wish I knew how to answer this question.

(!Hardly) (Anyway,) (!Because of)

being the Firefox developer isn’t the same   

(!like)(!than) (as) 

being the football captain, but being famous brings admirers.”
  
Certainly he   

(won’t have to) (!needn’t to) (!wouldn’t have to)

worry about his future. If things carry on as they have until now, Blake Ross will become as famous as Bill Gates before long.
