NELSON MANDELA
“FROM PRISON TO PRESIDENT”
Nelson Mandela was born in South Africa
on 18th July, 1918. His birth name is Rolihlahla. He got the
nickname Nelson from a teacher in school.
He started university in 1938 and he
got his law degree. After he finished university in 1943 he lived and worked in
Johannesburg. He was very interested in politics and wanted to change the
politicial system. He became a leader of the ANC (the African National Congress)
in the Transvaal in 1952. At first he pushed hard for the congress and the
protesters to follow Mohandas Gandhi’s non-violence approach. At one point he
started to doubt that this approach would work and started up an armed branch
of the ANC. He planned to bomb certain buildings, but only the buildings. He
wanted to make sure that no one would be hurt. He was classified as a terrorist
by the South African government and sent to prison in 1964.
He stayed there for 26 years and was in
solitary confinement for eighteen years. But the world never forgot Nelson
Mandela. His hard work and life long effort paid off when all races were
allowed to vote in the 1994 election, only four years later he left prison.
Nelson Mandela won the election and became President of South Africa.
Nelson was awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1993. He wanted all people of all races to have equal rights in South
Africa.
ZIAUDDIN YOUSAFZAI, a
feminist father
Surely we
all know Malala´s story, the Pakistani girl who suffered an attack by defending
her right to go to school as the boys. An exciting and sobering story.
Although I
want to talk about the person responsible for this girl to be so special. It is
about his brave father Ziauddin Yousafzai, a man who differs quite a lot from
others also born in Pakistan. He supports the equality of women in a country
where the birth of a daughter is a cause for sadness. However, Ziauddin raised
Malala with equity and taught her his love for knowledge.
When he was
young, despite not having money, he became a teacher and with great effort
created his own school. He taught Malala since her childhood the importance of
developing her mind and having abroad and clear criterion. He didn’t close his
school to the girls and advised his
daughter to stay strong when Islamic law did not allow girls to go to school.
Finally, in
2012, after the attack in which somebody fired Malala upon returning from
school, he and his whole family moved to England, where they continue working
for gender equality and for the right to education of girls around the world.

SOME
EXTRACTS FROM ADVANCED LEVEL I
“A
man I really admire...”
1. If someone asked me about the most important influence in my
life, I could say without a doubt it would be my dad. The person who I am today
is the result of years of learning with him.
I remember being a child and staying a long time with him. We spent
afternoons and evenings together playing chess, lots of sports and what I loved
the most: reading.
This man who I called “dad” taught me plento of the most important
and useful things for having a comfortable life. In fact, the main knowledge I
have learnt from him is being a god person.
That doesn´t mean he is perfect or he cannot be wrong; of course, he
is not. But he has been always fighting for his family all his life.
As for his strenghts, he loves his family, he is patient and kind
and he always tries to help us with his best effort...
2. I have never met a more intelligent person than my music teacher.
He used a teaching method that makes all this students fall in love with his
subject. I wish I had more teachers like him, showing passion all the time for
what he does, and transmitting nice values to all his students...
3. I admire a special lecturer I had at university. He is a
postgraduate in Literature and he has published a lot of essays. I would read
everything he wrote, even I used to look for loads of information about him. He
is bilingual in English and German and he is a really nice academic example to
follow...
4. I admire Sting. I must admit that I still love him. I can´t forge
all I used to do to get money and be able to travel across Europe to see his
gigs in all the cities he played...
5. I admire a doctor who works in a little rural clinic. He is very
responsible and critical, but at the same time he is calm and kind. He loves
teaching and tries to do his work as well as he can. He is used to spending as
much time as it´s necessary with each person, and he has got used to finishing
working really late. I am really satisfied with all I have learned from him. He
is seldom disappointed with you and stops to speak with patients to explain
them whatever he thinks they should know...
6. The man I admire the most is a Mexican architect I met long time
ago. He was used to dealing with unexpected situations and despite the problems
could be very serious or difficult to solve, he always had a smile on his face,
so it was very comfortable for me to have a conversation with him when I was
worried about some work issues. I felt really lucky because the time I shared
with him was an injection of positive energy for me...
7. Ara Malikian is a violin player I really admire. He is the best
musician that I have ever listened to. His musical notes are so nice to hear
that I think I will never listen to such a nice melody like his. He is a person
everyone should listen to...
8. I admire a man called Peter. He is the best goalkeeper I know. If
someone throws a penalty, he is able to make a save more often than not. He is
a very tall and strong young man. He is also very polite. Besides, he is the
kind of person who is a far cry from other people that I know in my life...
9. Antonio is my brother-in law. He is an amazing person who can
solve any problem. In fact, I admire his capacity to fix hardly everything he
wants...
