2 Read the biography of Nicholas Winton and check your prediction in Activity 1.
Learning to learn
Most biographies are organised in the orde in which events happened. Whilst reading a biography, it’s a good idea to make a timeline to record and track important information, such as dates, places and key events. This can be a useful way of displaying the kind of life the person led and even, sometimes, what he / she was really like.
It is August 1939, and a group of frightened children are boarding a train at Prague’s Wilson Station. Their heartbroken parents do not join them. Indeed, they fear they may never see their children again. But they know that their children will live. These are among the 669 children, most of them Jewish, that Nicholas Winton will go on to save from death at the hands of the Nazis.
Nicholas Winton was born on 19 May 1909 in London, to German-Jewish parents. The family later took British nationality. On leaving school, Winton worked in banks in Germany and France. Hreturned to Britain in 1931, where he worked in business.
In December 1938，a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to aid people who were escaping from the Nazis. In Prague, Winton saw people living in terrible conditions and whose lives were in danger.
He decided to help transport children to safety in Britain. He established an office to keep records of the children, and then returned to Britain to find temporary homes for them. He used donated funds and his own money to pay the 50 pounds per child that the British government required. By August 1939, Winton had saved 669 children.
During World War Ⅱ, Winton served as an officer in Britain’s Royal Air Force. He left the military in 1954. He then worked for international charities and for various companies. For the most part, he did not mention the children he saved, and his actions soon disappeared from people’s memories.
That all changed in 1988 when his wife Grete found a forgotten journal at home. The journal contained photographs and names of the children and addresses of the families that took them in. She sent the journal to a newspaper,
and that year Winton was seen on the British television programme That’s Life. At one point, the host asked people in the audience to stand up if Nicholas Winton had saved their lives. A shocked Winton watched as the majority of people rose to their feet. The programme brought his actions to public attention, and Winton became a respected figure around the world.
Later, Winton received various honours for his achievement, including a knighthood in 2003, and the Czech government’s highest honour, the Order of the White Lion, in 2014.
Nicholas Winton passed away on 1 July 2015, at the age of 106. As the Chinese saying goes,“A kind-hearted person lives a long life.”

On most UK high streets, for example, you will often come across people raising money and looking for volunteers for Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and many more. In China, volunteers are also playing an increasingly important role in environmental protection, disability assistance and many other fields.

Unit 2 Making a difference
Period 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas
Starting out
Watch the video and answer the questions.
1 What kinds of good deeds are shown in the video
The video shows good deeds such as visiting an elderly neighbor and asking if they need anything, letting a restaurant manager know just how great their waiter or waitress is, helping a classmate with their studies, asking someone who looks lost if they need directions, and offering to help out with something in the home.
2 What idea does the video convey
We should always be ready to help others, because one small act can make a big difference.
Look at the pictures of the three people and read the quotations. Talk about the following points:
the contribution these people made to society
the gualities you admire in each of them
other people who have similar qualities
Understanding ideas
1 Look at the map and talk about water problems in Africa.
Now tick the solutions that you think are most effective to supply Africa with fresh water.
collect and purify rainwater
fund water projects
build wells and pumps
recycle waste water
set up facilities to purify water
develop new water conservation technologies
2 Read the passage and find out what Ryan did to help solve the problem of water shortage in Africa.
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain. It was very close - only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself,“Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get water every day And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick ”Young Ryan thought,“Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don't I help ”
At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes.
Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan's mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2.000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the world of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not“Why don’t I help ”, but“How can I help today ”This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality.
