Unit 1
Personal Relations
William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died on April 23, 1616. He has a
reputation as the greatest of all writers in English. His ability to capture and convey
the most profound aspects of human nature is regarded by many as unequalled and
the English Renaissance has often been called "the age of Shakespeare".
He was among the few playwrights who have excelled in both tragedy
and comedy and several of his plays contain songs that are among the finest lyric
poems in English. He also wrote 154 sonnets, two narrative poems, and a handful
of shorter poems. Shakespeare wrote his works between 1588 and 1613, although
the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are often uncertain.
Other signs of his continuing influence include his appearance in the top ten of the "100 Greatest
Britons" poll sponsored by the BBC, the frequent productions based on his work, such as the BBC
Television Shakespeare, and the success of the fictional account of his life in the 1998 film Shakespeare in
Love.
Some of his famous plays are "Romeo and Juliet", "Macbeth", "Hamlet", "Othello", "Antony and
Cleopatra", "The Comedy of Errors", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", among others.

F. Read the biography and then find out the information below.
Muhammad Ibn 'Abd el-Karim El-Khattabi is the hero and icon of the Riif. He was born in1982
in Ajdir, Morocco, and he was one of the most powerful leaders of the Moroccan resistance against the French
and Spanish colonizers. He was considered a Riffian political and military leader of the Rif tribes.
He started his education at home and was taught the Quran by his father. Then he moved to Essaffarin
and Cherratin Madrasas in Fez to continue his studies to graduate later from the university of Al-Qarawiyyin in
1906. After his graduation and settlement in Melilla, he held several occupations and worked first as a teacher,
then as a judge and finally as a journalist for the Spanish newspaper el Telegrama del Rif.
He managed to unite the conflicting tribes of the Rif (Beni Ouryaghel, Temsaman, Beni Touzine, Bquiwa,
and other tribes) for the purpose of resisting and fighting colonialism.
One of the historic battles in the history of colonial resistance in the world is the battle of Anwal in July
1921 where about 13363 Spanish soldiers were killed and injured. The Spanish troops were under the command
of General Manuel Fernandez Silvestre. Before the battle of Anwal, General Manuel Fernandez Silvestre had
promised his king and his troops to crush the Rifian resistance in a matter of hours and to drink tea in the house
of Mohammed Ben Abdelkrim but the wind blew counter to his expectations.
Mohammed Ben Abdelkrim El Khattabi is said to be the first who aspired to unite people of North Africa
(Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya) and he was the first to use the Maghreb as a designation for all these
people. He also supported the liberation movements in these countries and founded The Committee for the
Liberation of the Maghreb in 1947. The main purpose of this committee was to reunite all the forces and the
national parties struggling for the independence of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and to prepare the foundations
of a Maghrebian unity. Mohammed Ben Abdlkrim El Khattanbi died on February 6th, 1963 in Cairo.

Unit 2
Education
Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua franca. English is the dominant
international language in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy.
The influence of the British Empire is the primary reason for the initial spread of the language far beyond
the British Isles. Following World War II, the growing economic and cultural influence of the United States
has significantly accelerated the spread of the language. On an average school day approximately one
billion people are learning English in one form or another.

the best. Millions of Americans share the same attitude. Assaulted by a blitz of nutrition advice in recent
years- lower your cholesterol, eat more fiber, throw out the salt shaker, forget red meat, get more
calcium, reduce your fat intake, use more olive oil, grill everything, avoid barbecuing, eat more fish,
choose margarine, many Americans have thrown up their hands. “Basically, I eat junk food. Healthy
food is all very good. But who has the time? “Says Sharon, a 53 year old telephone company employee
downing a hot dog at a California restaurant.

An other known benefit of fasting is the healing process that is obvious in the body during a fast.
When fasting energy is diverted away from the digestive system due to its lack of use and towards the
metabolism and immune system. The healing process during a fast is made easy by the body's search for
energy sources. Abnormal growths within the body, tumors and the like, do not have the full support of
the body's supplies and therefore are more susceptible to disappear.
Fasting also leads to a feeling of rejuvenation and extended life expectancy. This might be due to
the detoxification effect of fasting. A study was performed on earthworms that showed the extension of
life thanks to fasting. The experiment was performed in the 1930s by isolating one worm and putting it
on a cycle of fasting and feeding. The isolated worm outlived the other worms by 19 generations, while
still maintaining its freshness and youthful physiological characteristics.
Comprehension:
3. The body turns to the fat reserves for energy when fasting.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
4. The experiment on worms was undertaken to prove that fasting leads to the detoxification of
the body.

Reacreation Activities
Sometimes we go to the beach that is close by, and other times we drive for an hour or two. The
local beaches are all right, but there are better ones farther away. Even though it takes some time to drive
to another beach, we do not mind. Sometimes we bring cold drinks and something to eat with us. If we
don’t bring something to eat and drink, we buy something on our way there. At some beaches there are
places to buy food and cold drinks.
Once in a while we go away for a weekend. Someday we want to take a boat ride. We want to go on
a whale watch someday. We have never gone on a whale watch before. If we go on a whale-watch, though, it
will be a good idea to take something like a sweatshirt or a jacket because it can get cold out on the ocean.

Unit 6
Health and Welfare
Focusing more on lifestyle issues and their relationships with functional health, data from different
studies suggested that people can improve their health via: exercise, enough sleep, maintaining a healthy
body weight, limiting alcohol use, and avoiding smoking.
In addition to that, the ability to adapt and to self manage has been suggested as core components of
human health.
Personal health also depends partially on the social structure of a person's life. The maintenance of
strong social relationships, volunteering, and other social activities have been linked to positive mental
health and even increased longevity. In contrast, prolonged psychological stress may negatively impact
health, and it has been cited as a factor in cognitive impairment with aging, depressive illness, and
expression of disease.

Unit 7
The arts
When I was flying to Canada last month I met two people from France,
Joelle and Henri. They were going on holiday for a month. I was very surprised
because they only had one small bag each. ‘We each have only one change of
clothes’, Joelle said. She was wearing jeans, a T-shirt, a light jacket and running
shoes. ‘When you have travelled around for forty years, like us, ‘she said, ‘you
learn something. Take two sets of clothes and when one is dirty, wash it, and wear
the other’. ‘You never have to wait for your bags,’ Henri said. We carry them on the plane as hand
luggage, and carry them off’.
What else did they take? Oh! The usual things, ‘Joelle told us. Pajamas, underwear a toothbrush.
I take a radio, alarm, and Henri takes an electric razor. That’s all we need’.
When we landed in Vancouver they said goodbye and walked through customs, straight out of
the door. I waited for half an hour for my luggage and when it arrived, one of my bags was lost.

A. Are these statements True or False? Justify your answer:
5. One bag from the luggage of the French couple was missed.

Unit 9
Environment and Ecology
Prosperity has created a huge waste disposal problem. To make our life
easier, we buy. We buy books and magazines to read about the world. We buy
food to satisfy our appetite. But, buy doing so; we create a huge problem of waste.
Where does all this garbage go?
People all over the world have acquired harmful buying habits. For instance,
to save labour they buy domestic gadgets: refrigerators, microwaves, vacuum
cleaners, washing machines and others, and to save time, they eat both instant and
fast food. The popularity of disposable products is increasing, sooner or later,
most things that we bring into our homes end up as garbage. The result is an
extraordinary amount of waste.
In general, developed countries produce more waste than developing ones, according to various
surveys, the amount of waste in a particular country is mostly influenced buy its standard of living. In
other words, the more we buy, the more we throw away; the surveys also revealed that in developing
countries, the waste level in large cities is significantly higher than in rural areas.
The increase in rubbish harms the environment in many ways. Forests are cut down to make
throwaway cardboard and furniture which end up spoiling the countryside and rivers. Burning plastic
gives off toxic gases which spoil the air.
Clearly, we must soon change our buying habits and way of thinking. If we don’t, the expanding
problems of waste disposal and environment degradation will do it for us and by then it may be too late.

and better working conditions. This has of course serious consequences on
the sending countries.
While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected,
others look at the phenomenon from a different perspective. What makes those educated people leave their
countries should be seriously considered and a distinction between push and pull factors must be made. The
push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions. Social unrest, political
conflicts and wars may also be determining causes. The pull factors, however, include intellectual freedom
and substantial funds for research.
Brain drain has negative impact on the sending countries economic prospects and competitiveness. It
reduces the number of dynamic and creative people who can contribute to the development of their country.
Likewise, with more entrepreneurs taking their investments abroad, developing countries are missing an
opportunity of wealth creation. This has also negative consequences on tax revenue and employment.
Most of the measures taken so far have not had any success in alleviating the effects of brain drain. A more
global view must take into consideration the provision of adequate working and living conditions in the
sending countries. An other option should involve encouraging the expatriates to contribute their skill to the
development of their countries without necessarily physically relocating.
