Stuck in a lift ROLE PLAY P 56 BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER The day people started TALKING journey home from school is nothing special. The train's always busy but I usually find a seat and start reading or texting my friends, making sure, like everyone else, not to look at other people. Then, twenty minutes later, I get off. My But last Tuesday was different. I was happily looking out of the window listening to some new music I'd downloaded that morning when the train suddenly stopped. This wasn't unusual and I didn't think anything of it. Then after about five minutes, I noticed people were starting to get a bit annoyed. They were BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER looking around and tutting to themselves. Fifteen minutes later, people started getting more and more annoyed - the train still hadn't moved. The longer the train stood still, the more annoyed people became until finally the dreaded announcement came: 'We are sorry to announce that this train is delayed.' That seemed to calm people down and so we all went back to what we were doing before, but soon there was another announcement: we were going to be there for a long time - a train had broken down in front of us. There was a loud groan throughout the carriage but then something unexpected happened: complete strangers started talking to each other. At first, everyone just complained about the trains, but then people started talking about real things. I started chatting to a couple of young tourists sitting opposite me. They were from Spain and they were travelling around the UK so I recommended some places they should visit. They were having an amazing time and were taking the delay in their stride. Next, I really surprised myself by starting a conversation with a businesswoman. It turned out that there was so much more to her than a suit. She spends her weekends mountain-climbing and was going to take three months off work to climb Everest. It was fascinating talking to her. I've BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER been wrong all my life, business people are a lot cooler than I thought. Then I decided to get up and go for a walk down the train. I met a woman who had been a student at my school seven years before and knew lots of my teachers. It seems my teachers were just as strict then as they are now. People offered each other food and drink. A young woman took out her guitar and soon we were singing along. It was so much fun. While we were singing, we heard there was a diabetic man in another part of the train who needed help, and the woman from my school jumped into action. lt turned out she was a nurse, and when she came back she was welcome as a hero. Then, after two and a half hours, we started moving again. Everyone clapped and cheered and some people, complete strangers three hours before, even hugged. Of course, this journey didn't change anything. I took the train again on Wednesday but none of my new 'friends' were there. All the faces were new. Although people were polite, they weren't nearly as friendly as the people the day before had been. So I sat down and started texting. But I'll never forget the day the train stopped and people started talking.

Everywhere you looked people were pouring buckets of freezing water over their heads. The craze soon had a name - The Ice Bucket Challenge' and the idea behind it was to raise money for charity. Despite the popularity of the challenge, not many people knew where it had come from. In fact it was the idea of an American called Pete Frates. He had been a promising college baseball player who seemed to have a bright future with the Boston Red Sox. However, his career was cut short when he fell ill with a disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or ALS for short). ALS attacks the nervous system and can cause speech problems and paralysis. It can also kill. Frates wanted to do BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER An lce Cold Summer something to raise both money and awareness to help sufferers of ALS. He had a simple but brilliant idea. The idea was that you chose a couple of friends and challenged them to pour a bucket of freezing water over their heads. If they did this then they paid $10 to the charity. If they refused, they paid $100. To prove they had done it, they had 24 hours to post a video of their challenge online. Then it was their turn to nominate two more people and challenge them. Soon it had gone viral with plenty of celebrities worldwide joining in including Usain Bolt, Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Cristiano Ronaldo and even former US president George W. Bush. The US President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron were also challenged although they both refused to do it and donated the $100 instead. All in all, more than 2,500,000 videos were posted on BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER Facebook from around 150 different countries. Many millions of pounds were donated to the charity. However, not everyone viewed the Ice Bucket Challenge in such a positive light. Many people felt that it put too much pressure on people who did not want (or maybe could not afford) to support the charity. If you were chosen by a friend and decided you did not want to take part, you were seen as being mean and not entering into the fun. It was also later found that many people who did the challenge didn't actually make any donation at all. One study found that even though over 15% of the British population had done the challenge, only 10% of participants had actually given any money to charity. Other people pointed out that water is a valuable human resource that is in short supply for millions of people around the world. They criticised the challenge for being wasteful of water. So was the Ice Bucket Challenge a good thing or not? That will always depend on who you talk to. Nevertheless, for a few hot months of summer back in 2014 the Ice Bucket Challenge brought millions of people from all over the planet together for a 'cool' cause.
