Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on 23rd July 1989 in London. From the age of five, Dan became interested in acting, although his early experience was just playing a part of monkey in a school. He had missed a part in a TV play based on Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist because his parents didn't think it would be a very good idea to act. But he played a role in David Cupperfield.
Chris Columbus who wanted to find a young British actor to act as Harry Potter. Director Columbus had seen David Copperfield and thought Dan could act well. But Dan's parents didn't agree. Columbus called Dan's parents to persuade them to change their minds, and at last they allowed Dan to act in the film. "When my dad told me I'd got the part of Harry Potter, I cried. I even woke up in the middle of the night, around half past two, and I woke up my dad too, just to check with him that it wasn't a dream," said Dan. When Porter’s author Joanne (JK) Rowling saw him, she said happily, "I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry…"
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone began in September 2000. It came out in November 2001, going on to become the second-best film, behind Titanic. After Dan became famous, he tried to do good to the others. In February 2005, his T-Shirt was sold to get money for people in Asia.

More than one hundred thousand international students will spend this summer working and traveling in the United States. They are joining in the Summer Work Travel program through the State Department, a US government department that deals with anything connected with foreign countries. The idea is for students to work for up to three months and earn enough money to then spend a month traveling before they return home.
The Summer Work Travel program was started years ago. This year there are some changes. The State Department recently amended the employment rules. These changes follow a strike last summer by foreign students working for Hershey's chocolates in Palmyra, Pennsylvania.
The students said they were put to work for long hours in jobs that provided little or no contact with the outside world. The students complained about having to lift heavy boxes and to work overnight. They also complained about being paid so little money because part of the money they made had to go to the people who helped them to join in the Summer Work Travel program.
Now, the State Department doesn't allow the use of Summer Work Travel students in those workplaces where students have to carry heavy boxes, such as packaging plants. Also, most of their working hours cannot fall between ten at night and six in the morning. The students are also not allowed to work in workplaces that the government believes unsafe.
Daniel Costa at the Economic Policy Institute Washington welcomed the changes. He said, "That is good because it will protect the real foreign workers from getting hurt on the job. It' also protects US workers, many of whom don't have jobs."
Jacob Horwia is lead organizer for the National Guestworker Alliance, the group that organized the strike in Palmyra. "The changes to the employment rules really recognize the demands that the students asked for," he said, "and they can protect local workers who work in industries that use guest workers and also protect those foreign students." He also believed these changes will help return the program to its purpose as a cultural exchange program.

C. Daniel Costa thinks foreign students shouldn't do the same jobs as US workers.
