Фрагмент из книги.
In 1950, Linda Brown was seven years old. To get to school, she had a long, dangerous walk of over one kilometre to a bus stop. There, she had to wait for the bus to take her the rest of the way. That's not too surprising as lots of children have to travel to school by bus. What was surprising was that there was another school much nearer to her home which she wanted to go to but couldn't. Why was that?




An idea for the school canteen.
Do you eat dinner at school? I do and so do many of my friends but there never seems to be anyone I can talk to. Everyone is using their mobile phone. The problem is so bad that last week I sat for thirty minutes with three of my best friends and I didn’t say more than a few words to any of them. Every time I started a conversation, someone’s phone would ring or a text would arrive. I was so annoyed. No one even apologised to me or switched their phone off. The conversation with me just stopped while they concentrated on the small piece of plastic held in their hands. It’s strange because, when I’m not with them, they are always phoning or texting me. When we're together, though, they’re always trying to get in touch with someone else. Perhaps the person they are with when they are busy phoning me! It was such a miserable half-hour that I nearly went to sit on a different table. I thought I could phone them and have a chat! Instead, I decided to write this article for the school newsletter.

I know there are a few other people who think like me and I believe it’s up to us, the students, to do something about the problem. We don’t need the teachers to do anything - it is our responsibility. That’s why I propose setting up a ‘no-phone’ area of the canteen. We could then sit in that area and know that the other people would pay attention to us when we spoke to them. It would be a great place to meet new people and get to know them. I think we should start by making half the room a no-phone area. We could then see how popular each area is and make then larger or smaller if necessary.
