Thousands of people leave their homes every year and travel to Britain.
They are hoping to start a new life. Some make a choice to move to find
work because they want a better life. These are called 'economic migrants'.
Others move to a new country often for political reasons beyond their control
and ask that government for protection. These are called 'asylum seekers'.
If they are allowed to stay permanently they become 'refugees'.
Faiza's Story
My parents wanted to leave Casablanca because my dad lost his job. We were
finding it difficult to pay all the bills and my grandmother became ill and
needed special medicine. My dad's brother lives in England and he found my
dad a job in London and arranged visas for us. My parents decided to leave
as soon as possible. I didn't want to leave my friends and home, but we had
to go.
My Dad asked where we were and the driver said in London - my Dad was pleased
that our journey was over. My uncle was at the coach station to meet us.
My first day at school was hard but good - the teachers talked slowly to me. didn't
understand much English. I've made lots of new friends.
The best bit about being here is that we have been able to send money home to my
grandmother and she is much better now. My parents are happier and my English is
much better too. I can't wait to see my old friends again. My family want to visit
Casablanca next year, this time by plane!

In Britain, students can choose what they want to study when they are
14. But they must study English, ICT (Information and Communication
Technology), mathematics, science, citizenship, physical education and
religious education. They must also have career education, sex education
and work-related learning. They can choose lots of extra subjects like
languages, art and tourism.

to do for my CCSEs. It's important that you choose your subjects
carefully. As well as the compulsory subjects, I'm going to study Health
and Social Care. I want to be a nurse or a social worker when I leave
school. You don't have to have a GCSE in Health and Social Care in order
to become a nurse, but it helps. Some of the course is going to be
practical. I have to write a letter to the teacher of the course explaining
why I want to do it. I'm going to say that I want to work in

UNICEF helps lots of children all over the world. One of these children is
Paulo. Paulo is 1 2 and he lives in Rio de J a n e i r o in Brazil. Paulo ran away
and lived on the streets. He got money by juggling on street corners. One
day when he was juggling he met a woman from a UNICEF project called
Child Hope Space. Child Hope Space works with street children. The first
time Paulo went to the project he stood in a corner while the other chil-
dren were playing or having lessons. "I was nervous," says Paulo. "The
other children seemed so relaxed and happy." Now Paulo lives in one of
the rooms in the project. "When I was living on the streets I was always
scared, but now I feel safe and happy," he says.

The U N Convention of Children's Rights says: "All children have the right to
relax a n d play". Lots of children never have the chance to play because they
have to work. M a n y children in Asia a n d South America w o r k in clothes fac-
tories. These factories make jeans a n d T-shirts that you can buy in Britain a n d
Europe. The children don't get much money so the clothes they make are often
quite cheap.
Danielle says:
"Last year we went on a school trip to Alton Towers theme park. While we were
queueing for one of the rides I heard two boys making racist comments about two
younger Asian boys in the queue. They were saying horrible things. I walked up to
them and asked them to stop. I was scared but I knew I had to say something.
People shouldn't say racist things. They were shocked and they stopped immediately.
The two boys were really happy for the rest of the day. I don't regret doing it. People
shouldn't say mean things, especially not racist ones."

This summer 18-year-old student Michael Sessions won't have
much free time. He'll be busy with his new job as Mayor of
Hillsdale. Michael paid for his election campaign with the
money he earned from his part-time job selling snacks. Not
everyone is happy that Michael got the job. They say he
mightn't have enough time to dedicate to the job. Michael
answers: "I'll make sure I do the job properly. I expect I'll be very
busy. I'm still at school so I'll be a student from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm and then
Mayor for the rest of the day. I think Hillsdale needs a change. I know I haven't
got experience but I'm energetic and enthusiastic. I know I'll do a good job."

1 Paper rounds
You'll get up early, about 6 a.m. You'll deliver papers to people's
houses so they can read them while they're having breakfast.
You'll walk or cycle a lot, so this is a great job if you are fit or if
you want to get fit.
2 Babysitting
You'll look after babies and children. You'll need to be gentle and
patient. You'll also need lots of energy for playing. If you are
looking after them throughout the day, you'll need to give them
their meals and you might have to change their clothes too.
3 Shop assistant
You'll work with people and you'll need to be friendly and
helpful. If the shop is small, you'll have to do lots of different
things, like working on the cash register, filling shelves and
helping customers.
4 Gardening
If you like being outside you'll love this job. You'll need to be fit
because it's hard work and you might get tired from the exercise
and fresh air. If you're allergic to grass or pollen you won't want
this job.
