PAPER I: READING ACTIVITY

A bad boy ?
If you asked Simon Taylor what had made him a `bad boy ´, he would probably tell
you that it all started when his father was unemployed. His father was at home all
the time, Simon got on his nerves and they argued. Simon didn´t feel loved.
Teenage criminal
Schools couldn´t cope with Simon. He stole from cars and from shops. And then he
stole from his parents. When he was twelve, a few weeks after his mother had
given birth to his sister, he set fire to his bed and curtains and to two cars in the
street. At that point, his parents couldn´t cope with him any more and he was taken
into care. He went into children´s homes, then into an institution for young
offenders and finally to a special school called Conway Place, which was run by a
charity.
Holidays aren´t always good for you
In an attempt to help him, the staff at Conway Place sent Simon on an incredible
series of exotic holidays. He went scuba diving in the Caribbean, cruised through
the Florida Everglades, visited Disneyworld and Sea World, rode through the
Mexican jungle, skied in Scotland and Norway, toured Italy, went horseriding in
Denmark, camped in Spain and went on safari in Zimbabwe. The people who ran
Conway Place thought the trips would do him good. According to Simon, they made
him worse.
A prison education
When he left care at the age of eighteen, Simon was soon put in prison for robbery.
In fact, he spent three of the next four hours in prison.
`In prison I learned everything I needed to know for a life of crime´, he says. He
describes lessons from other prisoners in how to steal cars and how to use credit
cards illegally.
A new outlook on life
Now twenty-two, Simon is going out with a girl and says that he has given up crime.
`Someone really cares for me for the first time in my life ... I just want to be
boring and ordinary. I want to be normal´, he says.
He wishes he had some qualifications. In his opinion, the school shouldn´t have sent
him on expensive holidays; they should have educated him. If he had some
qualifications, he might be able to get a job. If he had a job, he´d have some self
respect, which is probably what he needs more than anything.
