Learning to learn
Most biographies are organised in the order 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.

Why were the parents heartbroken
Why did the parents fear that they would never see their children again
Why is Para 1 written this way (present tense/ heartbreaking description)
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.
Read Part 1 and answer:
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. He returned 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 in1954. 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.
Read Part 2 and answer:
How did Winton help
2. Can you imagine what difficulties Winton faced in that situation
…… 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.”
Read Part 3 and answer:
Why do you think it took such a long time for Winton’s actions to become known
Supposing that you were Winton, can you describe how you felt when you saw the majority of people rose to their feet
How do you understand the Chinese saying “A kind-hearted person lives a long life.”
