WRITING: A diary entry

Preparation:

1-What’s your situation at the moment?
I’m in a difficult situation at the moment, one of my classmates, Alex, stole a CD from one shop. The police interviewed him but he lied. He said that he had been with me in my house, and I have also lied to my fathers to protect him. But the security video told the truth. Now I’ve both problems.
2-Why did you lie?
I have lied to my fathers to protect him because he is a good friend.
3-Was your friend right or wrong?
I think that Alex was wrong because he didn't have to stole, if he didn't have money to buy the CD, he could ask for a friend or save some money.
4-What would you have done?
I would have saved some money or I worked to earn some money and buy the CD.
5-Do you thing that this might happen again?
I don't think that this will happen again because Alex was very scared and probably learned her lesson, but you never know.
6-What would you do if you were in this situation again?
If I return to find in this situation probably explains the truth to my fathers from the beginning to avoid problems.

UNIT 4: The abolition of slavery

Toby tells about Hull and his most famous resident, William Wilberforce. Wilberforce was a politician. The British slave trade was abolished within his lifetime, but he continued campaigning because he wanted to free slaves all over the world. Between 1450 and 1850 at least 12 million Africans were taken across the Atlantic, mainly to colonies in North American, South America and the West Indies. The use of African slaves in the British Caribbean began in the late seventeenth century. Slaves suffered terribly on the ships and up to 20% died before they even arrived in the Caribbean. They were made to work on the sugar plantations and were treated cruelly. Britain banned slavery in 1807 but it took until 1865 for slavery to be abolished in the USA.
