When people ask “Where are you from?” I sometimes say “I’m from Brazil,” sometimes “I’m from Italy” and sometimes “I don’t know!” The problem is that I live in Brazil for most of the year but in the summer I’m in Italy with my uncle, aunt and cousins. They’re from Rome.

Parents are not very happy about a revolutionary project in Newcastle in the north of England, but the local kids love it.This is the idea: secondary school, for children from 11 to 18, doesn’t start until eleven o’clock, which means the children don’t get up at a normal time like half past seven. They get up at ten o’clock! The first class of the day is always a subject in which you don’t write much, like art or music, because most people don’t like writing when they first get to school. Then the children have subjects like maths or French before they have lunch at twenty to three.

Darrel, who is 13, says: ‘I think the idea is great! I don’t go to bed until two o’clock in the morning, so I can watch all the late films on television!’

His mother, Laura, doesn’t agree. ‘I think it’s a terrible idea,’ she says.

2. Read the article again and answer these questions.

Island for Sale is a story with a happy ending. It is about a young Scotsman called Duncan McTavish, who lives alone in a big castle on a small island in Scotland with his dog, Jock. He likes living there. He takes walks, swims and goes fishing in his boat.

His castle is very cold and dark, and it needs a lot of electricity. One day, he receives a letter from the electricity company. He owes them £5,000. He doesn’t have that much money.

He has to sell the castle. He asks a man in London, Mr Moneybags, to find a buyer. Mr Moneybags finds Leaping Larry. He is a rock star. He has a girlfriend, Roxanne. They come and look at the castle.

Roxanne doesn’t like the castle. It is cold, dark and boring. When they go in Duncan’s boat, she falls into the water. They don’t want to buy the castle. There are no more customers. Mr Moneybags doesn’t want to sell it anymore.

Duncan is unhappy. Then he meets Jean. She is a painter. They fall in love and get married. Jean has an idea. Tourists can come and stay at the castle. In this way they earn money, they are able to keep the castle and live on the island, after all.

The Missing Coins is a mystery story. Pete and Carla are students visiting the city of Bath in England. While they are walking around looking at the shops and buildings they hear music in a quiet street. A man plays a flute. He is standing next to the window of a shop which sells coins and stamps. They go into the shop and have a look. Pete wants some stamps, but they are expensive and the female shop assistant is unfriendly. Pete and Carla then go to a café for a drink.

To their surprise, the coin shop owner comes to find them there. He says that some of his coins are missing. He thinks Pete and Carla have stolen them. A policeman proves that they have not taken them.

Later, Carla hears the music again. She realises how the coins were stolen: The girl in the shop is friends with the flute player. She drops the coins into the flute player’s hat through the open window. Carla explains this to the policeman.

The shop owner is so pleased with Carla and Pete that he gives Pete the stamps that he wants.

THE CROWN BY M. R. JAMES

Teacher’s Notes

> Summary

The Crown is a classic English ghost story. It is April in Seaburgh – a small English seaside town. There is a magic crown under the ground in this town. It is very important. The crown protects England – and William Agers protects the crown.

Paxton is on holiday in Seaburgh. He learns the story of the magic crown and he is very interested. One night he looks for the crown on a hill near the sea. He finds it and takes it. He sees a shadow behind him and runs quickly back to the hotel. Maybe the shadow is William Agers. But Paxton knows that William Agers is dead!

Now Paxton is afraid. He wants to take the crown and put it back in the ground. But he needs help. He meets two men at his hotel and he asks them for help. Together, the three men hide the crown in the ground again.

The next day Paxton’s new friends follow him to the beach. They see two people’s footprints in the sand – Paxton’s footprints and some strange, long footprints as well. The friends are afraid. They follow the footprints along the beach. At last they find Paxton. He is lying on the sand and he is dead. The ghost of William Agers protected the crown – and it protects the crown today too. The story ends with a strong warning: ‘Don’t go to the small town of Seaburgh.’

> About M. R. James

M. R. James was born in 1862 in a small town in Kent in the south of England. He loved old books, history and language from an early age. Later, he studied and taught these things at Cambridge University. His ghost and horror stories are famous because they are clever and frightening. His great knowledge of history gives his stories a lot of detail – and the places and characters seem very real. M. R. James died in 1936.


Ghosts and magic: Not everything around us can be easily explained or controlled. We should learn when to accept things that we don’t really understand.Secrecy and mystery: There is a lot of incomplete information in the story. We don’t know Paxton’s full name. We never learn the name of the story’s narrator. We don’t know exactly how Paxton is killed... This makes the story mysterious and exciting.Respect and trust: Paxton asks two strangers to trust and respect him – but he is not willing to respect the wishes of the people of Seaburgh.



Chapter 1


• Students read the Introduction on page iii. They write a few sentences to answer the questions in paragraph 3, (‘Where does the shadow come from? What does it want from Paxton? What is the crown, and why is it important for England?’). Encourage students to imagine the story. Later, when students have read the book, they can look back at these answers and compare their expectations with the real story.


• Students work in pairs. Ask them to think about Paxton’s story. Do they believe it? Why/why not?

Chapters 2 and 3


1 In pairs, students look at the pictures of Paxton on pages 13 and 15. What is he doing? Where is he? What time of day is it? How does he feel?

2 In pairs, students look at the picture on page 25. Who are the people in the picture? What are they saying? Students write the dialogue of the two (standing) men. Some pairs read their dialogue to the rest of the class.


• Have a classroom discussion: Does the story make you afraid? Why/why not? Do you believe in ghosts? How do you feel about the ending of the story?

THE CUP IN THE FOREST BY ANNE COLLINS

Teacher’s Notes

> Summary

The Cup in the Forest is a fictional story about two people who are on holiday in the Norwegian countryside. One day they are walking in the forest and the boy, Per, finds a beautiful old cup under some rocks. There is strange writing on the cup. Per and Nina take it with them and drive to a small hotel. Per sees a strange man, first in the forest and then in the garden of the hotel. Nina can’t see this man.

The next day they take the cup to a local museum. When the curator hears where the cup is from he is very worried and tells Per and Nina to take the cup back immediately. It is a Viking cup belonging to the grave of an old Viking called Hakon. Per sees Hakon again in the hotel café and is very frightened but Nina thinks he is silly. She thinks only about the money she can make from the cup. When Per is not looking, she takes the cup and drives away very fast. She wants to sell it in Oslo, but when she is driving through the forest she sees Hakon. Nina is very afraid. She cannot see the road and her car hits a tree and falls into the river.

Per and the curator chase Nina but they are too late – she is dead. Later, Per sees Hakon. He has the cup and is walking away, back to the forest.


Greed and selfishness: Nina thinks only about the money she can make from selling the cup. Nothing else is important to her, so she ignores Per’s fears. Greed can make people blind to doing the right thing.Ghosts and the supernatural: Hakon is a Viking ghost. Do ghosts really exist or are they only things to make stories with? Can we really know for sure that they do or don’t exist?Fear and panic: Nina is terrified when she sees Hakon. The road is very dark and there are no people around. Because of her fear she is unable to control the car. She is blinded by panic. How can you manage fear? Is it possible?




1 Ask your students to look at the cover of the book. What can they say about the story? Who is the man on the left? What do they think about the cup – how will it be important in the story?

2 Students think about their holidays. What do they enjoy doing? Where do they like to go? Would they enjoy a holiday in the countryside or do they prefer to go to the

sea?


1 Put students in pairs. Each pair chooses a sentence from the story. One student from each pair reads out the sentence that they have chosen. The other pairs must say where in the story the sentences come from, e.g. ‘It comes from the beginning/middle/the end’. They must also say what happens before this sentence and what happens next.

2 Show students the pictures below and ask the following questions:Page 6: What is Per thinking? How is he feeling? Why?Page 9: What is Nina thinking? Why?Page 11: How is Nina feeling? Why?Page 13: What is Hakon thinking? Why?Page 15: How is Hakon feeling? Why?

THE CARNIVAL BY ANNETTE KEEN

Teacher’s Notes

> Summary

Jake is eighteen. It is his first time in London and he goes to the Notting Hill carnival. He sees a beautiful girl on the first float; she sees him too. He thinks he’s in love with her. He follows her and is able to speak to her. Her name is Maria.

He finds a camera on a café table, and takes it to get a photo of her. But he loses her float and has to run off with the camera. The owner of the camera and a policeman chase him. Jake finds Maria, takes a photo and says sorry to the owner for taking the camera. The policeman takes Jake to the police station. He asks Jake what he has in his pocket. Jake shows him the photo of Maria.

There is a surprise. A policewoman walks in. It is Maria!


London: A good place to visit, both for the first time, and many times! Notting Hill carnival is very famous. It is the biggest carnival in Europe.Jobs: Difficulties of taking time off from a working day. There are right and wrong ways of having a holiday.Love at first sight: Does this really happen?

1 Students work in groups. What happens after the end of the story? Does Maria get into trouble? Does Jake see her again? Each group should decide and write a short ending of their own.

2 Students work in groups and discuss these questions: What do people do in carnivals? Do you like carnivals? Why/why not? Is there a big carnival in your town/country? Talk about it.
