Module 1

Malala Yousafzai

Malala is a young Pakistani human rights activist who fights for the rights of girls and

women to receive an education. She risked her life for the cause and has changed history.

Malala was born on July 12, 1997 in Mingora, Pakistan. She grew up with her two younger

brothers, mother and father.

Many Pakistani girls didn’t attend school. However, Malala’s father was a teacher who ran

a school for girls, which Malala attended. She loved school and had big dreams of becoming a

teacher, a doctor or a politician. When the Taliban (an Afaghani movement) began to take control

of the area where Malala lived, they demanded all girls’ schools be shut down. Women were no

longer allowed to vote or to have jobs. All women and girls were to stay home unless wearing a

burqa (a clothing that covers head, face and body) and accompanied by a man.

In 2009, Malala began to write a blog about the destruction and closure of more than 100

girls’ schools in Pakistan. She became famous for writing her blog and began speaking out, in

public, against the Taliban. Despite the Taliban threatening to kill her, she bravely continued

fighting for the rights of girls and women to receive an education in Pakistan.

In 2012, Malala was on her school bus when a masked gunman got onto the bus and asked :

« Who is Malala ? » He said he would shoot everyone on the bus if they did not tell. When

Malala’s scared friends looked her way, the gunman shot Malala. While in hospital, the world

outside was supporting her cause. Malala survived. She continues to fight for peace and equality.

Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner.

It was great to get your news! My news is that I’m going to leave the city and move to the country!

My parents have bought a farm (see the photo attached – it’s beautiful!) and the idea is that we

keep cows and horses. It’s really exciting, but I’m also worried. My problem is that I’m terrified

of large birds! When I see one I start to shake and feel faint. We went to the farm yesterday and

the truth was I couldn’t relax at all. What can I do?

The fact is that I have to do something or my life will be awful.

Should I tell my parents? What do you think?

Love,

Eve

Module 2

Renewable Energy

At the moment we get about 70% of our energy from fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas, but

there are two main problems with this. Firstly, they release CO2 when we burn them and secondly,

they take millions of years to form and the supply is limited.

Fossil fuels are not the only sources of energy. Alternative energy is energy generated from any

source other than “traditional” fossil fuels and which doesn’t damage our environment. The sun

(solar energy), wind (hydroelectric energy) and tides and waves (tidal and wave power) are all

alternative energy sources. They are also called renewable energy because they won’t run out or

sustainable energy because we can use them now without affecting the supply in the future.

There are other sources of energy such as biofuel and nuclear power, but these are not strictly

alternative energy sources. Biofuel is a term that includes a wide variety of fuels obtained from

biomass (carbon-based biological material, usually plants), so it releases CO2 in the same way as

fossil fuels. Nuclear power doesn’t produce CO2, but it does produce waste which can stay toxic

for 240,000 years.

Climate change and global warming, together with high oil prices and the risk of nuclear

contamination, are making renewable energy sources more attractive. The production of

alternative energy is growing very rapidly. It is estimated that 16% of all energy now comes from

renewable sources.
