Zadie Smith is a successful British novelist who caused a sensation in the publishing world at the age of 21 when the first 80 pages of her first novel were sold to a publisher. She was born on 25 October 1975 in a working class-area of London. Her mother grew up in Jamaica and emigrated to England, where she met and later married an Englishman. Zadie was originally named Sadie but when she was fourteen, she changed her name to Zadie because it sounded more exotic. Zadie attended state primary and secondary schools and she later went on to get a degree in English Literature from the University of Cambridge. While she was in her final year of university, she completed her first novel, White Teeth. It was an instant success and won several literary prizes, including the Whitbread First Novel Award. It’s a coming-of-age story about three ethnically diverse families set in multicultural London. The novel tackles subjects such as history, multiculturism and war. White Teeth has been translated into over twenty languages and the novel was adapted into a television drama. Her most recent book On Beauty won the prestigious Orange Prize for Fiction. Zadie Smith continues to write essays and short stories for magazines. Her writing has provided people with a valuable insight into contemporary topics, in particular, multicultural families. Despite her young age and modest background, Zadie Smith has become one of the leading novelists of her generation.

Do you think you could live in a world with cold weather, dangerous animals, and little daylight? Well, the Inuit have done so for thousands of years. Let’s take a look at how they live their lives. The Inuit live in the frozen north of Canada, Russia, and Alaska. In winter, temperatures can be as low as - 50°C so it's very difficult for plants to grow. Even in summer it rarely gets above zero. The Inuit people have been living in extreme conditions for centuries, spending their entire lives on the snow that blankets the Arctic.
The Inuit are short and well-built with almond-shaped eyes and straight black hair. They wear large, thick lined hoods called "parkas" to keep warm during the cold winters. They also wear big boots and furry gloves to protect their hands and feet. The Inuit are cheerful and friendly people who share everything they have with others. Because they live in small groups, they value harmony and frown on arguments and fighting.
Inuit men are hunters and they spend their days out on the ice looking for whales, seals, and even polar bears to catch and bring back home. In winter they cut holes in the ice and go ice fishing. On winter hunting trips they live in temporary, dome-shaped houses called "igloos" made from blocks of snow. The sole means or transport are dogsleds and snowmobiles to travel the frozen Arctic. Women can also go hunting, but most choose to stay at home and sew, cook, build tents and maintain the children. In order to make the most of the sunlight and warmth the Inuit go to bed very early and get up at 5 am to start their working day.
The Inuit keep their history alive through a tradition of storytelling. The elders teach their children about their history with mythical stories and legends. A popular tradition is the "drum dance" held at births, weddings, and funerals. The whole community gets together and performs songs and dances to the beat of the massive drum.
