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.

Shakespeare's influence on the English-speaking world shows in the widespread use of


quotations from Shakespearean plays, the titles of works based on Shakespearean phrases, and the many
adaptations of his plays.

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

English is a West Germanic language originating in England, and the first


language for most people in Australia, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean,
Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America
(also commonly known as the Anglo sphere). It is used extensively as a second
language and as an official language throughout the world, especially in
Commonwealth countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa,
and in many international organizations.

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.

A working knowledge of English is required in certain fields, professions, and occupations. As a


result over a billion people speak English at least at a basic level. English is one of six official languages of
the United Nations.

Unit 3
Food

There is a new American way of living today… Americans care about


physical fitness and good nutrition now as never before… we eat less red meat
and more poultry and fish, more fish vegetables and fruits, more grain cereals…

Not all Americans follow this advice however. Arthur Williams,


45, whose cholesterol level is so high that his doctor has warmed him to change
his eating habits or expect a heart attack, is enjoying a big breakfast. His effort
to start the day with fruit lasted only two weeks. “I couldn’t stay with it”, he
says not very repentantly. “It’s hard to find food that’s good for you. And tastes good.

Williams’ reaction to the surprising world of food choices is a simple one: give up and hope for
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.

Fasting is part and parcel of the practices of many religions including,


Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Today many are trying to dig up the benefits
of fasting. Some people fast for spiritual reasons while others fast as a way to
physically discipline the body. Whatever reasons one might come up with,
it has been scientifically proved that fasting has tremendous health benefits.

First, fasting is said to play an important role in the detoxification of the


body. Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing
toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph glands, and skin. This
process starts when fasting. Food no longer enters the body and the latter
turns to fat reserves for energy. These fat reserves were created when excess glucose and carbohydrates
were not used for energy or growth, not excreted, and therefore converted into fat. When the fat reserves
are used for energy during a fast, it releases the chemicals from the fatty acids into the system which are
then eliminated through the body organs, leading to the cleansing of the whole body.

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.

2. One of the benefits of fasting is the disintoxication of the body.

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

My wife and I go to the beach in the summertime. When it is hot, it is


good to cool off by going to the beach. We like going to the beach during the
daytime and at night. We enjoy going to the beach because we like the smell
of the ocean air and the sound of the waves. Walking along the beach is good
exercise and it is very relaxing. After we walk for a while, we like to sit on
the rocks and relax. Some beaches have rocks you can sit on them, but not all
beaches. If there are not any rocks, we just sit on the sand.

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

Health in general is the context in which an individual lives is of


great importance on health status and quality of life. It is increasingly
recognized that health is maintained and improved not only through the
advancement and application of health science, but also through the
efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society.
According to the World Health Organization, the main determinants of
health include the social and economic environment, the physical
environment, and the person's individual characteristics and behaviors.
In fact, an increasing number of studies and reports from different
organizations and contexts examine the linkages between health and different factors. Among which are
lifestyles, environments, health care organization, and health policy.

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.

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.

Unit 8
Science and Technology

We live in a truly remarkable time. On the one hand, everywhere we are


confronted with evidence suggesting that an age of scientific miracles has arrived.
Man has walked upon the moon and returned, he has deciphered the genetic
Code, organ transplants and complex surgery of every description are routinely
Performed, the energy of the atom has been controlled, radio telescopes sound
the dark secret regions of the universe, the nature of the Earth’s interior and of
distant stars are known to a degree that was undreamed of only a few years ago.
The magnitude of these and other scientific accomplishment is immense, but this
does not mean that no unknowns remain, or that there exist no frontiers of knowledge yet to be crossed. It is
quite clear; however, that science has progressed sufficiently far to permit discrimination between the true
and the untrue, the possible and the impossible, and the unknown and the obviously improbable. On the
other hand, the most remarkable aspect of our age is the parallel coexistence of supremely complex scientific
knowledge and widespread beliefs of this sort. The ancient belief in witches and sorcerers persists and
flourishes today even in our modern cities. Astrological columns in newspapers and magazines are avidly
consulted daily by millions of otherwise rational persons who wish to know “what the stars have ordained”.
In spite of the enormous advance in medical knowledge, there is still common belief in the ability of
numerous “healers” to effective miraculous cures. Innumerable books of “science fantasy” are published and
become bestsellers. Countless films of this kind are produced. Magicians, mediums, people endowed with
extraordinary powers…abound and their performances are readily accepted by many people. Ultimately,
this situation certainly gives serious cause for worry. For even the more advanced society must depend finally
on the ability of its members to make rational choices between conflicting alternatives. The survival of our
society would be a bit more certain if the division between scientists and their non-professional colleagues
were bridged.

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.

Unit 10
Economy

Brain drain, which is the action of having highly skilled and educated
people leaving their country to work abroad, has become one of the
developing countries concern. Brain drain is also referred to as human
capital flight. More and more third world science and technology educated
people are heading for more prosperous countries seeking higher wages
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.
