Условие.

48 The problem of bullying is not a new one. People have faced it for many years. Read an extract from Charlotte Brontë's novel 'Jane Eyre' and answer the questions below.

I had begun to feel happy at Lowood. Most of the girls and teachers were kind to me. Unlike Mrs Reed, they didn’t think that I was a wicked child.

I tried to sit still so that Mr Brocklehurst¹ would not notice me. But then I dropped my book with a loud noise. I wanted to die! I was so ashamed.

Mr Brocklehurst turned to me, and his eyes were cold and cruel. “Oh — I see it is the new girl — come here, Jane Eyre. I have something to say about you.”

I was standing in front of Mr Brocklehurst when I heard Miss Temple say very quietly, “Don’t be afraid, Jane. I saw that it was an accident.” How kind she was to me at this terrible moment!

Mr Brocklehurst pointed to a chair and said, “Stand on that chair!” For the next ten minutes, he told all the teachers and girls everything he knew about me. “She tells lies,” he said. “The school must not talk to such a wicked girl.” As he left the room, he said loudly, “Jane Eyre must stand on that chair for half an hour and no one must speak to her until tomorrow morning!”

I was so ashamed. I wanted to die. “Now everyone will hate me,” I thought. But suddenly I saw Helen. She wanted to give me her courage.

I did not leave my chair until everyone had gone for tea. Then I sat down in a corner and cried. I felt so unhappy and lonely. Soon Helen came into the room again. “Jane,” she said, “you mustn’t cry, you know. We don’t all share Mr Brocklehurst’s opinion of you. I’m sure that many of us feel sorry for you.”

¹ Mr Brocklehurst was the supervisor of a boarding school for girls that did not have parents.

3. He made her stand on a chair for half an hour, called her a liar in front of everyone, and forbade anyone to speak to her until the next day. Yes, it was a severe punishment because it was publicly humiliating. - Он заставил ее полчаса стоять на стуле, назвал лгуньей перед всеми и запретил кому-либо разговаривать с ней до следующего дня. Да, это было суровое наказание, потому что оно было публично унизительным.

4. Her friend Helen gave her moral support. She told Jane that not everyone believed Mr. Brocklehurst and that many girls felt sorry for her. - Ее подруга Элен оказала ей моральную поддержку. Она сказала Джейн, что не все поверили мистеру Броклхерсту и что многие девочки ей сочувствуют.

5. Yes, I think this is bullying. Mr. Brocklehurst used his power as an adult to publicly humiliate a child for an accident. He insulted her and isolated her from others, which is a form of bullying. - Да, я думаю, что это травля.
