[3] The teen activist has been invited to numerous meetings to speak on behalf of the
climate youth movement. In December 2018, her speech at the United Nations COP24 in Poland got
millions of likes, shares and views. At the summit, she expressed her deep worry about the environment,
saying "I don't care about being popular. I care about climate justice and the living planet."
[6] In COP25 in Madrid, Greta again blamed leaders for not acting to save the planet because
greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. She realised that her school strikes “haven’t achieved
anything”, and that “we need more activists”. For her great efforts to make a difference about climate
change, Greta Thunberg was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in March 2019.

FLYING CARS : A DREAM COME TRUE
[1] AeroMobil 3.0 is a combination of a plane
and a car designed to drive on the road and fly through
the air. It can transform in seconds from a car to a
plane. This invention of the Slovakian company
AeroMobil started to be on sale in 2017.
[2] The concept of a flying car is not new. The
idea was popularized in the 1960s through animated
cartoons. This concept was originally brought to life in
1989 by Slovak designer Stefan Klein. After years of
testing different models, Klein’s twenty-year dream
came true when he set a partnership with entrepreneur,
Juraj Vaculik. They co-founded the company AeroMobil in 2010.
[3] Developing the flying car has not been without difficulties. AeroMobil company faced problems
in 2015 when one of its prototypes crashed during a test in Nitra, west Slovakia, sending the pilot to hospital
with minor injuries.
[4] The year 2016 was a great success for AeroMobil. It marked the introduction of the latest
prototype AeroMobil 3.0 at an international forum in Brussels. The vehicle uses a diesel engine and has
wings that fold, which allows it to be parked like a car, though it is nearly 6 meters long. It seats two people:
the pilot and a passenger. The company said the car's top speed on the road is 160 km/h and 200 km/h while
flying. It can fly for 700 kilometers before running out of fuel. Drivers who can buy this luxurious flying
car, priced between 1.2 and 1.6 million dollars, will need a pilot’s license to fly it.
2. Both Juraj Vaculik and Stefan Klein set up the AeroMobil company.

[3] Many people send selfies to give a pleasing image of themselves and display their physical
portraits. Some users of Snapchat choose to send intentionally unattractive selfies to their friends
for comic purposes. For Patricia Wallace, author of The Psychology of the Internet, some people may just use
them to share a funny or spontaneous moment with others.
[4] However, according to Zlatan Krizan, a professor of psychology at Iowa State University, people
may engage in dangerous activities to take a selfie that attracts attention. In the USA, a 32-year-old woman
from North Carolina was driving when her vehicle hit a tree and burst into flames moments after posting
selfies online. Luckily, the driver was unharmed. A 21-year-old Spanish man died from electrocution after
climbing on top of a train to take a selfie. In Russia, a teenager died while trying to take a selfie on a railway
bridge.
[5] Anabel Quan-Haase, a professor at the
University of Western Ontario, points out that "as a
society, we have moved toward a new type of Net
Visual Culture, where we are attracted by pictures
of others and descriptions of events. We want to
show people what our lives are like. Sometimes, this
can be achieved only through taking risks". Given
the number of selfie-related injuries and deaths
occurring recently in different countries, it is a must
for officials to launch campaigns to warn people of
the dangers of taking selfies.

left to her in life. She can go out when her grandfather is available to carry her up and down the
steps. She thinks that the government should be responsible for integrating disabled people into
society. "I’ve lost the use of my feet, not the use of my brain," Rajae says with tears in her eyes.

[1] Civil society in Morocco is working hard to fight tobacco and drug addiction among young people.
With the help of non-governmental organisations, many teenagers have managed to give up smoking.
[2] Salim, eighteen years old, is one of them. He tells his story to
other young people to discourage them from smoking. "A friend
offered me my first cigarette. Soon, I started buying my own cigarettes
and got in the habit of smoking. As my parents didn’t realise that I was
smoking, I carried on until one day a teacher, who was a member of an
organisation, saved me. He gave me advice and support for several
weeks till I finally quitted this bad habit," Salim said.
[3] Samira, a secondary school student, started smoking and
taking drugs when she was 13 because of family problems. "My
mother neglected me. She gave me money just to get rid of me. As for
my dad, he only came home in the evening and always started
shouting at my mother. I easily found refuge in drugs," she explains.
[4] Amina Baaji, a teacher and member of the Moroccan Association for Listening and Dialogue, has
helped several secondary school students put their difficulties behind them. She stresses the importance of
the role of parents in dealing with cigarette smoking, before it leads to drug addiction. "Families must look
after their children and try to understand them so that they will not become addicted to tobacco or drugs,"
she says. "Parents’ failure to listen to their children and understand their problems is the main reason why
young people start smoking or taking drugs," she adds.
[5] Jamal Bahaoui, another teacher, agrees with Baaji. “If young people are to be protected from tobacco
and drugs, families and schools must keep an eye on them and try to understand their needs and fears,” he
explains. “Teachers must spend more time listening to their students so that they can give them guidance
and help them deal with their psychological problems,” he adds.
[6] “The best way to get the message across is not by giving advice, but rather by encouraging young
people to take part in anti-smoking and anti-drug campaigns,” Jalal Tawfik, a psychiatrist, says. He
encourages all young people who have overcome addiction to tobacco or drugs to act as an example to
others.

In Morocco, each year thousands of young girls from poor families are sent to work in houses in the
city. They are often ill-treated and exploited. No official numbers exist, but
one non-governmental organisation called Dari has counted 23,000 child
maids in Casablanca alone.
Halima is one of them. When she was 8 years old, her family sent her
to Casablanca to work as a maid. Her father had some financial trouble, so
he got in touch with an intermediary whose job was to find maids for rich
families. The little girl agreed because she thought that she could be of Child maid
some help to her parents. But being a maid was not what she really
dreamed of. She worked all day long, slept in the kitchen, and was often
beaten up by her host family. But she managed to escape from the house
where she was working.
Later, someone found her in the street all in tears and helpless, and took her to Dari. Thanks to Dari,
Halima now lives at a shelter for former child maids where she is learning cooking and hairdressing. “For
the first time since I was 8, I have finally found a place to rest,” Halima said.
Dari’s director says: “the majority of child maids come from the countryside where most families have
little money and a lot of kids. If they send a girl away to work as a domestic, that means an important
source of income and one less mouth to feed. The parents think that they are doing something nice for their
daughters, saving them from the harsh conditions in the countryside, and hoping for a better future for
them. But child maids often end up suffering twice: as kids and as adults. When they grow up, they are
often exploited by crime gangs”.
Dari’s director further explains that their association works to educate poor parents about the reality of
child maids and their exploitation. It also runs programmes to sensitise the wealthy families to the rights of
their maids: fair treatment, good pay, and basic education.
This issue of child maids is now being addressed by many civil associations. The abuses are being
exposed on TV, and more voices are heard against employing child maids, believing that all children
should have the right to enjoy their childhood and get a proper education.

Rachida was born in a rural Moroccan village, Ain Jdid, in 1973. She is married and
has four children. Her husband is a seasonal agricultural worker who earns about 700
When an aid organisation offered literacy classes in her village, Rachida immediately
recognised that an excellent opportunity was suddenly offered to her. The class signalled
a new beginning for Rachida - if she took classes, she would be able to read and write, add and subtract, and
acquire skills that were always reserved for others. When she first learnt how to write her name on a slate, and
then on paper, she was overjoyed. Although Rachida and her classmates were laughed at by some villagers as
thev walked to school each day, they ignored them and were proud oftheir accomplishment.
The course went a step beyond providing basic literacy training to the women of Ain Jdid. Those who
perforrned the best on the final exam were also offered support in setting up a business- a farm animal
cooperative.Armed with their newly acquirednumeracy and literacyskills, and with technical assistancefrom
the organisation, they started a successful business. Their example gave rural women a new image -that of
independentfemale entrepreneurswho could managetheir own businesses.They were no longer field workers.
Rachida now buys and sells farrn animais through the cooperative and earns enough income to support her
family. More importantly, she can share the joy of learning with her school...aged children and help them with
their homework. She is confident about the future. She says her new skills have given her more than just an
income. "Through this programme, women have paved the way to a new life," she said.
As a proofto the programme's success, now even some of the men in the village who had criticised Rachida
and her classmates want to attend literacy classes.

ENGLISH
I was born in London of an English mother and Pakistani father. My father, who lives in
London, came to England from Bombay in 1947 to be educated. He married here and never
went back to India. The rest of his large family including his brothers and their wives, moved
from Bombay to Karachi, in Pakistan, after the division between India and Pakistan in 1947.
Frequently during my childhood, I met my Pakistani uncles when they came to London
on business. They were important, confident people who took me to hotels, restaurants and
cricket matches, often in taxis. But I had no idea of what the Indian sub-continent was like or
how my numerous uncles, aunts and cousins lived ther. When I was nine or ten a teacher
placed some pictures of Indian farmers in old crowded houses in front of me and said to the
class: Hanif comes from India. I wondered: did my uncles ride on camels? Surely not in their
suits.
In the mid-1960s, Pakistanis were ridiculed on English television and were exploitede
by politicians. They had the worst jobs, they were not at ease in England, and some of them
had difficulties with the language. From the start, I tried to deny my Pakistani origin. I
wanted to get rid of it. I was ashamed and I wanted to be like everyone else.
