‘It was easier than doing my homework’<br />

Boy of 11 ies to Rome without ticket or passport<br />

An investigation has begun at Manchester airport after an 11-year-old boy boarded a ight to<br />

Rome without a passport, boarding card or ticket.<br />

The 11-year-old Liam Corcoran ran away from his mother while she was shopping at the Wythenshawe<br />

shopping centre. He made his way to the airport, probably on foot.<br />

When he arrived at the terminal, he followed another family through check-in, going unnoticed with<br />

thousands of people heading off on their summer holidays. Security staff scanned him but failed to<br />

realise he was on his own and had no boarding card, passport, tickets or money.<br />

The boy then arrived in the departure lounge and headed to one of<br />

the gates where passengers were boarding Jet2.com ight LS791 to<br />

Rome. He managed to bypass a security check at the gate without<br />

being asked to show either a passport or a boarding card.<br />

READING COMPREHENSION<br />

Once on the aircraft, none of the crew realised he did not have a<br />

boarding card as he took a seat. The jet took off as normal and it was<br />

only during the journey to Italy that passengers became suspicious of<br />

the boy and told the cabin crew. The crew members alerted the captain who radioed back to<br />

Manchester. Manchester. Police at Manchester airport then then called the the boy’s boy’s mother to tell her that her son son had<br />

been found safe and well, well, but that he was was on a plane travelling travelling to to Italy.<br />

The plane landed landed at Fiumicino airport airport in Rome where the boy was asked to remain on board while while<br />

the other passengers left the aircraft. He He remained on the plane, accompanied accompanied by ight crew, as as it<br />

took took off again to return to Manchester. Manchester. The returning plane plane landed at 10.25 p.m. and it is understood<br />

that the boy’s mother and police of of cers were waiting for him at the luggage luggage carousel of Manchester<br />

airport.<br />

A Manchester airport spokesman said: “We are now investigating investigating this extremely serious serious matter. matter. It is<br />

clear that documentation has not been checked correctly at security and the boarding gate. Jet2 will<br />

be be looking at how this boy got got on that aircraft. He has evaded checks. He did go through the metal metal<br />

detector and didn’t sound any alarms. Fortunately he wasn’t a danger to any of the passengers.”<br />

Stella Stebbings in How to Survive Summer Camp, a novel written by<br />

Jacqueline Wilson, a popular English writer who has sold over 30 million<br />

copies of her books in the UK alone. Many of her books have been<br />

adapted for TV. She has also won numerous awards.<br />

This is how the story begins:<br />

Stella’s mother and stepfather have gone away on honeymoon and have<br />

left Stella at the Evergreen Adventure Holidays summer camp. Stella isn’t<br />

happy! Especially when she nds out she’s expected to swim - the one<br />

thing her mum promised she wouldn’t have to do. She’s determined not<br />

to enjoy herself and settles down for a nightmare summer!<br />

I stood at the poolside in my borrowed swimming costume.<br />

It was an awful white puckered object with silly straps that<br />

tied at the back of the neck. I was scared the boys might try<br />

to undo them. But I was far more scared of the swimming<br />

pool. I’d thought it would be one of those turquoise<br />

rectangles, but it was worse. It was a real pool, like a big<br />

pond. The water was brown and bubbly and weed trailed<br />

all over the place in long green strands. ‘What are all them<br />

snakey things?’ Janie asked suspiciously. ‘We’re not going<br />

in there, are we? We don’t want snakey things nibbling our<br />

toes.’<br />

‘How can we have races in this squitty little pond? It’s just<br />

a kiddies’ paddling pool,’ said Louise, scornfully. ‘Yes, and<br />

it looks dirty to me,’ said Karen. ‘They could at least have a<br />

proper swimming pool with clean blue water. This place is a<br />

real dump.’<br />

‘Let’s not go in swimming then,’ I said quickly. ‘You’re right,<br />

Karen, it is dirty. Look at the colour. Maybe there aren’t any<br />

sewers at Evergreen. I think they just empty all the loos into<br />

the pool.’<br />

Miss Hamer-Cotton collected our letters for posting and<br />

handed out activity sheets. ‘Fill them up carefully, girls,<br />

in your neatest writing. How are you feeling, Karen? You’ve<br />

got your colour back now. I think you’ll be fit for the hike.<br />

We’re meeting downstairs in the hall at half past two. Wear<br />

your comfiest shoes, it’s quite a walk to Hampton Hill.’<br />

‘Do we have to go, Miss?’ asked Janie. ‘I don’t like long walks.<br />

They’re boring. Me and my friend would sooner play here in<br />

the bedroom.’ Miss Hamer-Cotton smiled stupidly as if Janie<br />

was joking and didn’t even bother to answer her.<br />

I concentrated on my activity sheet. I didn’t want to do judo or<br />

climbing or five-a-side football or rounders or rambling or<br />

mime or music. I didn’t want to BMX bike or box. I didn’t want<br />

to play chess or computer games. I didn’t know what macramé<br />

was but I was sure I didn’t want to do it. I certainly didn’t want<br />

to swim. About all that was left was Art. I didn’t mind doing<br />

Art so I put Art again and again, morning and afternoon, on<br />

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.<br />

‘You can’t do that,’ said Marzipan. ‘It says so on the back of<br />

the paper, look. You have to do four different activities each<br />

day. And you’ve got to fit in two swimming sessions a week<br />

as well.’ ‘I’ll make out I haven’t read the back of the paper,’<br />

I said quickly. I felt a bit worried when I handed my activity<br />

sheet to Miss Hamer-Cotton but she was too busy getting<br />

us all organized for the hike to notice. She kept saying it<br />

was going to be such fun – but she didn’t actually go on<br />

the hike herself, I noticed. I bet she put her feet up all<br />

afternoon and watched the telly.<br />

1 What are the rules for lling in the activity sheet?<br />

2 Janie and Marzipan are two of Stella’s roommates. After reading this extract, what can<br />

you say about their characters?<br />

Miss Hamer-Cotton explains to Stella that it’s not possible to put Art as the only activity, so she<br />

lls in the sheet for her. The rst activity Stella has to take part in is judo. She annoys the judo<br />

teacher so much that he sends her out. The next activity is macramé ...<br />

5<br />

10<br />

Jilly was in charge of macramé, and Jilly was silly. She wore<br />

a flowery smock and sandals and a lot of old grey string<br />

jewellery dangled down her big chest. Janie and Rosemary<br />

and some of the other little girls wanted to make string<br />

necklaces so Jilly got them started off. Marzipan wanted to<br />

make a weird string tassel thing to suspend potted plants<br />

in mid air. ‘What do you want to make that for?’<br />

I whispered. ‘It’ll look so daft.’ ‘No it won’t. It’s for my mum.<br />

She likes that sort of thing,’ said Marzipan, looking hurt.<br />

‘Would you like to try to make one too, Stella?’ asked Jilly.<br />

‘No thank you.’ ‘Well, do you want to make a necklace like<br />

the others?’ ‘Not really.’ Jilly folded her arms. ‘You’ve got to<br />

make something, Stella. How about a string purse? It could<br />

be a present for your mother.’<br />

I didn’t feel like making a present for Mum. It was all her fault I<br />

was stuck at this horrible summer camp. She’d said I’d enjoy it<br />

but I’d decided to hate every minute of it. Some of the others<br />

were feeling pretty fed up too. Evergreen wasn’t a patch on<br />

most summer camps. It was supposed to offer horse riding,<br />

but there was just one Shetland pony. There was only one<br />

computer too, and it was the cheapest sort so you could only<br />

play the most basic games. The swimmers were allowed to<br />

canoe in the stream, but it wasn’t really deep enough and the<br />

swimming pool wasn’t much more than a pond. But it still<br />

seemed like Loch Ness to me. I had a swimming session<br />

every single day! It was so unfair. I had more swimming<br />

sessions than anyone else in the whole camp. Miss Hamer-<br />

Cotton said it would help me learn to swim quickly and stop<br />

me being frightened of the water. I was sure she was just<br />

being horrible and punishing me. So I tried to get my own<br />

back by messing about at the pool and not doing what Uncle<br />

Ron said. He tried to be all matey at first but eventually he<br />

got so cross he made me lose a team point. And then<br />

another. Louise and Karen were livid.<br />

At the end of the story, Stella’s mother and stepfather come to pick her up. They ask her if she<br />

liked the camp. This is her answer:<br />

15<br />

‘I keep telling you, I didn’t have a good time. It was terrible.<br />

I was just pretending when I said goodbye. They were all<br />

hateful to me. That girl Karen, she made me give her my<br />

T-shirt. And she messed up all my things. She even stole my<br />

chocolate. They were all horrid to me and they teased me<br />

about my hair. They called me Baldy and they all laughed at<br />

me. It was awful. The whole camp was awful. And they<br />

made me go in the swimming pool, I told you they would.<br />

Every single day. It was a special punishment.’ ‘Why were<br />

you being punished?’ said Mum. ‘Oh they just kept picking<br />

on me,’ I said quickly. ‘And the food was disgusting, they<br />

half starved us.’ I decided the seven sausages for supper<br />

didn’t count. ‘So I take it you don’t want to go back next<br />

year after all?’ said Mum. ‘You must be joking,’ I declared.<br />

‘I only just managed to survive it this time.’<br />
