Have you ever had a troubling problem that has left you wondering where to turn for help?
Eve Hobsbawm is a life adviser. She offers advice to people struggling with different kinds of problems, from relationship difficulties to what to cook for dinner. She does this through a website inviting people to email her with their trouble. There’ s nothing unusual about that, except for the fact that Eve is only eight years old.
This junior problem-solver, who also goes by the name “Miss Eve Mouse”, lives in London with her parents. Not only is Miss Mouse willing to lend an ear to her clients(委托人), she will also offer them a helping hand… for a fee of course. She charges between 10 pennies for advice on little, everyday worries and 1 pound for tougher problems. Her areas of expert--if not of experience—are: “Problems about love, life and work-life balance.”
A problem shared is a problem halved, but Eve can' t always help. A note on the site states that she can't answer questions like “Does space ever end?” and she won't solve “schoolwork-related problems(especially not math).” She explained to the Guardian newspaper that she was inspired to set up the company by her father who runs a tech start-up. Eve said: “As soon as I saw his business and understood the kinds of things businesses do, I thought that' s what I' m going to do.” But since setting up her company in December she has been so busy with messages that she almost has had no time to do her homework. So she has decided to take a step back for the moment.
