ETHAN’S BOOK PAGE My top coming-of-age novels

Coming of-age novels explore that difficult joumey al of us teenagers have to make

to become an adult These are some of my The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger

Published in 1951, thisis stil the greatest coming-of-age novel ever written The main character is Holden Caulfield Like most 17-year-olds (including me), he doesn't know

what to do with his life But one thing is clear He wants to avoid anything ‘phony’ or

fake He doesn't want to be like all the phony people he sees around him The only

person he really loves and can talk to is his younger sister Phoebe

Salinger didn’t allow a film of his novel to be made Even so, The Catcher in the Rye hhas sold 65 milion copies around the world! This book can change the way you look

at the world

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

This isn't the kind of book I normally read (the harrator is a girl!), but a friend

recommended it This 2002 novel is set in the USA in the 1960s and it tells the story

of Lily Owen, a white girl in the racially divided south Her father treats her badly,

but she’s a survivor With the family's black servant Rosaleen, Lily goes on a quest to

discover the identity of her dead mother On the journey, she meets three strange beekeepers who help her to grow up and be at peace with her history

The Secret Life of Bees has sold 6 million copies and a film was made in 2008 I'm

reading this book at the moment — and I'm loving it!

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

This is an old book (published in 1860), but it's brilliant At the beginning, the orphan

boy Pip is living with his bullying sister and her husband But his life changes forever when he meets a terrifying escaped convict called Magwitch The plot is exciting

and there are some unforgettable characters, such as the eccentric Miss Havisham

and the beautiful Estella Pip is given a fortune by an unknown donor and becomes 2

gentleman However, money can bring unhappiness - by the end of the story, he is a

wiser but sadder man

There are at least nine films of Great Expectations!

The Unforgotten Coat

‘BY HARRY STEVENSON

The Unforgotten Coat was

written by Frank Cottrell

Boyce and was published in

2011

It is set in a school in

Liverpool, and it tells the

story of two brothers from Mongolia, Chingis

and Nergui, who join the school The narrator

is Julie, one of the students in the boys’ class

She has gone back to her primary school years

later when it is about to be demolished She

finds Chingis’s coat in the lost property box,

and this is the starting point of the story

dulie was Chingis and Nergui’s ‘good guide’,

so she was responsible for teaching them about

life in the UK and helping them to understand

things like football, the school uniform and the

English language One day, the boys disappear

from school, but Julie follows them and brings

them back However, the next day, the class

finds out that the boys have been sent back to

Mongolia because they do not have the correct

paperwork to stay in the UK

It is beautifully presented in the form of

a diary with photos from the boys’ camera,

which Julie finds in the pocket of the coat It

is funny, moving and full of surprises I would

recommend this book to readers of all ages

2 Read the book review again and decide if the sentences

are true orfalse

The story is about life in Mongolia

The main characters are not from Liverpool

Julie tells the story when she is older

Julie's job was to teach the two boys how to play football

The boys have to go back to Mongolia because they are

not allowed to stay in the UK

Would you like to do something different next year?

What would bea really special summer holiday?

During the dark winter months, life can feel dull and depressing, So now’s the time to raise your spirits and start thinking about next summer Holidays don’t have to be the same old thing every year It’s important to have something special to look forward to! This week’s question is: ‘What are your special holiday plans?”

I'm going to surf next summer, but not on the web! In August, I'm heading down toa

| surfing school in Cornwall They provide the boards, the wet suits and the instructors

All the surfers have to do is be prepared to get wet! When you take up surfing, you know you're going to fall off your surfboard a lot! Luckily, 'm a strong swimmer

Imogen, UK-

I'm not travelling anywhere in particular, but I'm sure I'll have an amazing summer

‘An American cousin of mine is staying with us for a fortnight She’s 15 like me and lives in San Diego, California I'll be able to try out my English and learn the latest cool expressions! I'm looking forward to seeing her Carmen, Spain

1just love animals, so next summer 'm going on my dream holiday We're going to

spend a week in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana But we won't be

living in luxury We'll be camping in the wild! We'll see giraffes, lions, wildebeest and springboks At night they say you can hear lions roaring (I’m a bit worried about that!)

I've never done anything like this before — I can’t wait Diarmuid, Ireland

Special plans? It’s too early to think about next summer | can’t think beyond this year!

But one thing’s for sure At Christmas, I'll be eating too much and watching TV all the time So (and I know this doesn’t sound very thrilling) | might join a sports club and try andget fit! Reece, Canada

I'm looking forward to next summer! It’s going to be completely different I'm going toa summer camp in July, but not to do the usual stuff I've signed up for a three- week course on making movies! The instructors teach you how to script, act, shoot and edit movies So while you're lazing on the beach, I'll be making this year’s biggest blockbuster! Scarlett, USA

Arecent study of 15,000 people in England and Wales suggests that we

aren't as moral as we imagine It found

that two thirds of people had stolen

stationery from work, burnt copies of

CDs or kept quiet when undercharged in

shops And, if there was an opportunity,

a lot of people would make fraudulent

insurance claims or even deceive people

online Interestingly, women and older

people in general were the most honest

while men and younger people had

more flexible values

Expressing different pointsof view Adiscussion essay

Work in pairs Put tthe items in exercise 1 in order from acceptable (2) to unacceptable (8) behaviour

This is how the survey was conducted:

participants watched videos of actors describing scenarios They then decided

if the person had behaved dishonestly,

if the offence was a crime and if they

would do it themselves After one

scenario, 41% of people thought it wasn't dishonest'to cash a winning lottery ticket they found in the street

Which of the following scenarios

do you think is worse? In the first, a woman buys a special dress, wears

it once and then takes it back for a refund In the second, a care home

nurse gets an old person to change

their will in his favour In the study, over 80% thought it was wrong to take the

dress back, but only 40% disapproved

of taking advantage of the old person

Do you find that surprising?

Read the article and find other examples of

In a Worldwide ‘integrity study’ of 2,000 adults, it was found that people were less honest than a decade ago The participants were asked for their tolerance of behaviour such as littering and handiing stolen goods in 2012, 40% of the participants believed picking

up money in the street was acceptable, compared to only 20% in 2000 Once again, young people scored lower

on the ‘integrity score’, According

to the report's author, Professor Paul Whiteley, an increase in dishonesty is often a sign of an economic downturn

Dishonesty means that we stop trusting

people, whereas societies with a high degree of trust enjoy better economy, education, health and higher levels of life satisfaction

These days, celebrities seem to support every charity you can

think of From Brad Pitt to Alicia Keys, and Bono to Oprah,

they're making films, giving speeches, shaking hands and

giving charity concerts

One of the earliest and most successful charity concerts of all

time was Live Aid on 13th July 1985 Not only was ita live

broadcast from London and Philadelphia, but it also featured

many of the major music stars of the day, from Queen, U2 and

David Bowie the UK to Bob Dylan and Madonna in the

States And they all played for free It wouldn't have happened

if Bob Geldof hadn't seen a BBC news report on the famine in

Ethiopia the year before He was so horrified by the footage

of Ethiopia's starving millions that he decided to take direct

action Live Aid was the result With concerts on both sides of

the Atlantic, it reached a global audience of 1.9 billion across

150 countries The next day, news reports estimated that

between £40m and £50m was raised by public donations to the

charity That figure eventually rose to about £150m

Ihave always regretted missing that concert Unfortunately, |

was travelling back to Europe with my parents and missed the

whole event | wish the internet had existed 30 years ago!

These days, more celebrities than ever are involved in charity

work George Clooney focuses on helping people who

are suffering from poverty and Angelina Jolie is a Goodwill

Ambassador for the United Nations, helping political refugees

and children affected by conflict Some celebrities even set

up their own charities Elton John founded the Elton John

Aids Foundation in 1992, and so far it has raised over $125m

to support health and education programs in 55 countries

Shakira founded the Pies Descalzos — or Barefoot

Foundation — which aims to make education available to

every child,

Quickly read the article and note the names of

And if they can raise the profiles of charities and help them

in their work — well, what's wrong with that? Just think back

to 1985 What would have happened if Live Aid hadn't taken place? Lots of people may have given money, but it’s difficult

to believe that so many would have given so much

given an enormous amount in life, it is your duty to back.’

MY TOP ETHICAL DILEMMAS Saye

Ethical dilemmas create scenarios which are designed

to make us think about moral b

questions and the ethics of t2

everyday life We have to decide { whether the consequences are

important, or if there are some

things that we should never do,

no matter what the result

Hope you are feeling moral today! Here are this week's

ethical dilemmas Post your thoughts

‘A dangerous job Fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world and many fishermen die or get injured each year at sea

Is this suffering worth it, just so people can eat fish?

Or should fishing be banned?

unicorn Well, I think the fishermen should

make the choice If they want to do it, they should be allowed to

chelseaboy If fishermen couldn't fish, then they would be unemployed and entire coastal

communities would suffer That can’t be right

rockdrum I don’t believe fishermen should put their lives at risk for my plate of fish But

if they improved the work conditions and the

safety of fishing boats, it'd be a safer job

ziggy3 There's too much fishing in the world anyway Lots of fish are endangered So that's

another ethical reason to stop fishing!

report it? What might influence your decision?

3 Hole in 1 You're a golfer and you win an important world class ị
