Nos gustaría dar nuestra más sincera enhorabuena a Nishana Nazar, de 4º de ESO, por el breve relato que han entregado hoy sobre acoso escolar para su clase de inglés.
Nishana tiene madera de escritora, lo que complementa perfectamente con sus ganas por aprender el idiomas de Shakespeare.
Me ha gustado mucho cómo ha utilizado el vocabulario que dimos sobre el tema la semana pasada; también es sobresaliente que no es una historia lineal, sino que tiene varias implicaciones y, cómo no, lo adorna con un típico recurso de buena pluma: el día que va a ocurrir algo, o llueve torrencialmente o hace un calor tremedo... 'One day, a hot day'...
Os dejo con el relato, con algunas correcciones entre paréntesis y, finalmente con un glosario sobre el tema:
Amy is
different from the rest of the teenagers of her class. She was from other
country, her skin colour was different, darker, she doesn’t wear short skirt
like other girls, listen to the latest bands, wear cool cloth (debes utilizar 'clothes' porque 'cloth' significa 'trapo') and, what’s more,
she doesn’t speak well English.
Consequently,
she’s bullied at school. She put up with insults for more than 4 years!
Sometimes, she was surrounded by the popular girls from her class and
threatened her to do their homework or, at exam times, gave the correct
answers to them.
She hated
England for many years and she wanted to return to Peru. Bus this option was
impossible because her parents work in England, so she decides (decided) to endure it.
Bullying to
Amy was taken in many forms: From insults to intimidation even physical aggression.
She learned
to ignore the insults, so the other girls from her class decide (decided) to intimidate
her and tell bad things about her to other people and make her life impossible.
Amy, little
by little, also learned to ignore the intimidation. Her objectives were passing
the class with the best mark possible and wait (waiting) to change school.
The popular
girls saw that Amy’s (were) ignoring them so they had a new plan to nettle her:
physical aggression.
This year,
in 4th EP (she get (got) in this school in 2nd) she made a good
friend, Albert, he’s (was) one year older than she (her) (he was in 5th class).
She told her problem to him, he convince her to tell it to teachers because
this was serious… Amy promised to Albert that she will do it, but she lied.
One day,
hot day, (esto es muy bueno) Amy was threatened by Clair (Clair was one year older), Clair set to
Amy that at the way out of class she’ll punch her. This time (she) was scared, she
couldn’t ignore that. She told it to the Head Teacher and he accompanied Amy to
way out. Clair wasn’t there… Amy felt very bad because she thought that the
next time Head Teacher won’t believe her.
Few days
after, girls from Amy class surrounded her, with insults, pushing her,
threatening… and suddenly one of that girl punched Amy’s arm. Amy was so angry
and without thinking she claw at her face. The other girl stared for some
seconds and did the same at Amy’s had (actually, Amy has a cool cicatrix there
hehehehehe), this was a fight, but Amy seems to be stronger that the other
bitch.
Next day
Amy told this problem (without the part of the fight) to her class teacher, the
class teacher talked with the girls and set them to let Amy alone.
From that
day the girls stopped bullying Amy. But Amy stopped believing in people from
her school , except in Albert.
Most of the
time Amy’s alone, but she’s happy being alone.
