Question

【題目】

Malala was born in Pakistan on July 12, 1997. When she was young, Taliban fighters took over her hometown. Taliban is an extremist(極端主義) group that does not believe in a girl's right to education. They said girls should not be allowed to go to school. Malala thought that girls have the right to an education. In 2008, she spoke out against the Taliban. The Taliban tried to silence her.

In 2012, Taliban fighters shot Malala on her way home from school. She had to fly to England for medical treatment(治療). She stayed in England to continue her education. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, when she was 17. This makes her the youngest Nobel winner in history.

Malala started attending Oxford in 2017. At the age of 22, she graduated from Oxford University, in England. Malala posted photos of her celebration on Twitter. One showed her with her family. The other was taken after her “trashing”. Trashing is an Oxford tradition after students complete their final exams.

“Hard to express my joy and thanks right now as I completed my degree at Oxford,” she wrote. Congratulatory messages poured in from around the world. One was an American astronaut Anne McClain. “Congratulations on your graduation,” McClain said. “For so many, higher education is the start of great things. For you, great things happened before it and I can only imagine the even greater ones to follow.”

She has written books for both children and adults. She also raises money through the Malala Fund. This is nonprofit (非盈利的) group that fights for girls’ education.
