I’m not sure what I am, but I know whatI want to be. I want to be a performer. I

love music and dance. I love being the

centre of attention. Playing music makes

me feel great. LIAM

I get so upset when I see people

destroying the planet — people who

hurt others or don’t seem to care

about others. They are just out for

themselves. I believe I can make

the world a better place. I fight forwhat is right. EMILY

I’m mixed race. But I hate that term – I’m

just me. My father is from Ghana and my

mum is white. I love being part of two

different cultures. Sometimes people

look at me and wonder where I’m from.

But I’m comfortable in my own skin. I’m

proud of who I am. MICHAEL

Being a goth is an expressionof my personality. I think it

looks cool. People tell me it’s

a phase, but it’s not. I know

how unhappy I’d be if I dressed

normally. I would feel like I

fitted in too much. TYLER

For the last couple of years it seems like

everyone else has found their style, their

vocation, their group. But I’m not sure

who I am yet. I have so many sides to my

personality. It’s the biggest mystery of

life finding out who you are. AMELIA

It gets on my mum’s nerves.

I need my beauty sleep.

How cool is that?

One last thing ...

Welcome to

Jessica’s Place!

A I love going out and having fun. And I love music. I never leave home without my iPod and I download new

tracks every day. Check out my music links on this page.

I adore shopping, especially with my mates. The only thing that stops me is money. Or rather the lack of

it! In fact, to get money for shopping, mobile phones and going out I do a part-time job. It isn’t a great

job. I’m not a top model or a singer. Those are just my dreams. I work in a clothes shop on Saturdays

and two evenings a week. It’s really, really boring! I don’t like working there and I don’t like my manager,

but it pays OK.

I’m an expert at sleeping. I sleep a lot – my record is 12 hours non-stop! After a late night on Saturday

I can sleep a whole morning away and only get up for Sunday lunch. It gets on my mum’s nerves. But I

need my beauty sleep.

I can’t wait for next summer. My friends and I are going to South America for four months in our gap

year. How cool is that? I’m saving up like mad. We’re making extra money. We’re selling all our old

clothes on eBay and even asking our parents for things to sell. And I’m doing a few chores around the

house which my mum pays me for. I put the extra money in a savings account.

I’m a bit of a dreamer and I can just sit and think for hours. I worry a lot, too. I can worry about anything

– exams, money, boys, the end of the world. I don’t know how to stop. I get really upset about cruelty to

animals and I don’t believe in wearing fur. I’m a vegetarian, too. That makes life difficult for my mum.

One last thing – I spend a lot of time writing my blog. In fact, I’m sitting here in my room and writing it

S w i n g i n g s i x t i e s

In the 1960s, for the first time

ever in the history of fashion, the young took command.

London was at the heart of the revolution with new ideas

coming from the pop scene and bands like the Beatles. The

most radical item of clothing for women was the mini-skirt.

And with short skirts, out went stockings and in came tights.

For men, the days of dark, plain clothes were over. This was

the Peacock Revolution with bright, patterned shirts, slim-

fitting trousers and boots. Men wore their hair longer and

clothes became more unisex.

F l o w e r P o w e r ‘Peace, love and understanding’ and

‘Stay cool’ were the unofficial slogans of the hippie movementof the late 1960s. Hippies believed in an alternative lifestyle.

They dropped out from society, and protested against the

Vietnam War and nuclear weapons. They had long hair and

beards, and wore flared jeans and ethnic clothes, particularly

from India and the East. Both men and women wore lots of

beaded necklaces. Hippies also developed the first music

festivals such as Woodstock and Glastonbury and listened to

psychedelic rock and folk music.

P u n k It was anti-establishment, anti-fashion, and had its

own music scene. In the mid 1970s, young people in London

with limited cash cut up and re-made clothes, holding them

together with safety pins and chains. T-shirts were torn

and covered with angry slogans. They used razor blades as

jewellery. Body piercing was fashionable with studs and rings

worn in eyebrows, noses and lips. Punks dyed their hair and

wore it in spiky styles (with lots of gel), while black eye make-

up was popular with both girls and boys.

H i p h o p

The hip hop style originated in the early 1980s

with the music and dance of African-American youth on the

streets of New York and Los Angeles. Its look – baggy jeans,

large T-shirts, hoodies, gold or platinum chains and expensive

trainers – is now a worldwide phenomenon. The heavy

jewellery suggests prestige and wealth and is often called

‘bling’. Brands such as Tommy Hilfiger are fundamental, andmany hip hop artists have their own clothing lines including

Eminem, Jay-Z and 50 Cent.

SO THE NEXT TIME you wear some ethnic jewellery, get a

piercing, buy a hoodie, or put on a mini-skirt, think about the

rebels who made it possible!

Come to our school for a lively international atmosphere

with students from many different countries .

Spending time with an English family and speaking

English every day is part of experiencing British

culture.

All our families are carefully selected and give

you a warm welcome, comfortable accommodation

and good food, regardless of the size of the house!

Your hosts include single mothers and older

people, as well as families and couples.

Students say they are very happy with our

choice of families and we believe we offer the bestfamily accommodation in the city.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Usually you will stay in a twin room with another

student of the same age and sex as yourself. If

possible, you will share a room with someone who

speaks another language. If you require a single

room, this can be arranged.

The price includes towels and bedding. Our

host families will do some laundry for you, but we

suggest you bring enough clothes for your stay. It

is possible to receive calls at your host home, but

we ask you not to use the phone to make calls.

Every day you are given breakfast, packed lunch

and an evening meal. Your packed lunch includes

sandwiches, crisps, a drink and a piece of fruit

or yoghurt. Don’t expect a full English breakfast.

These days you are more likely to have toast or

cereal. The main meal of the day is in the eveningand is usually between 18.00 and 18.30, so you

have time afterwards to go out and meet up with

your friends. On Sundays, your rest day, you are

free to do your own thing, or meet up with your

friends in town.
