A The friends are back at school and have come to a history club meeting
Read the conversation for detail and say: Is Mr Jenkins a good teacher? Why What is the best translation for Mr Know-it-all?
Mr Jenkins: Hello, everybody. Today I have prepared a very interesting and unusual task for you.
Emily: What is it, Mr Jenkins?
Mr Jenkins: We're going to look at a fragment from an early medieval manuscript.
Mark: What is unusual about it, Mr Jenkins? We often translate them.
Mr Jenkins: Well, I have to tell you something. I can't translate this manuscript. This time I need your help. Emily: You're joking, Mr Jenkins. You can translate everything.
John: How old is the manuscript?
Mr Jenkins: I don't know. I got the text by e-mail two weeks ago. Here's the e-mail.
Hi, Mr Know-it-all!
Your students think that you know everything, but that's not true.
Can you translate this manuscript? And if you can't, will you tell
your students?
Surprise me!
John: It's very rude!
Mr Jenkins: Yes, it is. At first, I didn't want to read anymore, but then I saw the manuscript and forgot about everything. It's in runes,
the ancient alphabet which Druids used for writing about secret things and magic. I know runes very well, but the runes
of this manuscript are different. It's a code. I have been trying to translate it for two weeks but I've had no luck.
Now I'm asking you for your help.
Emily: Don't worry, Mr Jenkins. We'll do it together.
Mark: What did you say, Mr Jenkins? A runic alphabet? A secret code? Let me have a look at it!
Mr Jenkins: What's wrong with you, MacWizard? Why are you smiling?
Mark: It's our family runic alphabet. I have been looking for this story
for months and I've found it! I'll translate it for the next lesson.
But... who is it from, Mr Jenkins?
Mr Jenkins: I've no idea! The e-mail address is [email protected] You can never find a person
through this e-mail address.
Emily: But why not?
Mr Jenkins: Because there are millions of users at hotmail.com — people can use the server from any
computer in the world.
