Globalization
Some Advantages

Increased free trade between nations

Increased liquidity of capital allowing investors in developed nations to invest in
developing nations
Corporations have greater flexibility to operate across borders
Global mass media ties the world together
Increased flow of communications allows vital information to be shared between
individuals and corporations around the world
Greater ease and speed of transportation for goods and people
Reduction of cultural barriers increases the global village effect
Spread of democratic ideals to developed nations
Greater interdependence of nation-states
Reduction of likelihood of war between developed nations
Increases in environmental protection in developed nations

Some Disadvantages

Increased flow of skilled and non-skilled jobs from developed to developing nations as
corporations seek out the cheapest labor
Increased likelihood of economic disruptions in one nation affecting all nations
Corporate influence of nation-states far exceeds that of civil society organizations and
average individuals
Threat that control of world media by a handful of corporations will limit cultural
expression
Greater chance of reactions for globalization being violent in an attempt to preserve
cultural heritage
Greater risk of diseases being transported unintentionally between nations
Spread of a materialistic lifestyle and attitude that sees consumption as the path to
prosperity
International bodies like the World Trade Organization infringe on national and individual
sovereignty
Increase in the chances of civil war within developing countries and open war between
developing countries as they vie for resources
Decreases in environmental integrity as polluting corporations take & advantage of weak
regulatory rules in developing countries

Defining

The expression 'brain-drain migration' was popularized in the 1960s with the
loss of skilled labor-power from a number of poor countries, notably India. Of particular
concern was the emigration of those with scarce professional skills, like doctors and
engineers, who had been trained at considerable expense by means of taxpayers'
subsidies to higher education.
It is impossible for political reasons to forbid emigration. This was a strategy
closely associated with the repressive regimes in the Soviet Union and East Germany and
would not be feasible or acceptable in virtually any country today. What, then, are the
possible solutions to the brain drain?

What is a clause and a defining clause?

A Clause is a part of a sentence that usually contains a Subject and a Verb. It is
usually connected to the other part of the Sentence by a Conjunction. It is not a
complete sentence on its own.
A defining relative clause gives essential information about the noun or noun phrase
it modifies, without which the sentence would not make sense as the listener or
reader would not be able to identify the noun in the sentence.

Start each new lecture on a new page, and date and

number each page. The sequence of material is important.
Write on one side of the paper only. You can set them out
side-by-side for easier reviewing when studying for an
exam.
Leave blank spaces. This allows you to add comments or
note questions later.
Make your notes as brief as possible. "Never use a
sentence when you can use a phrase, or a phrase when
you can use a word" (Berkeley).
Develop a system of abbreviations and symbols you can
use wherever possible.
Note all unfamiliar vocabulary or concepts you don't
understand. This reminds you to look them up later
Also, you have to:
Improve your listening skills

some economists, but a reality if we join our effort.
3. Evidently, in a globalised marked, it is very easy to predict the future of

Adverbs

ADVERBS OF CERTAINTY
These adverbs express how certain or sure we feel about an action or event.
Common adverbs of certainty:
Certainly, definitely, probably, undoubtedly, surely
Adverbs of certainty go before the main verb but after the verb 'to be':

He definitely left the house this morning.

He is probably in the park.

With other auxiliary verb, these adverbs go between the auxiliary and the main verb:

10 mn

He has certainly forgotten the meeting.

He will probably remember tomorrow.
Sometimes these adverbs can be placed at the beginning of the sentence:

Undoubtedly, Winston Churchill was a great politician.

BE CAREFUL! With surely. When it is placed at the beginning of the sentence, it means the
speaker thinks something is true, but is looking for confirmation:
Example: Surely, you've got a bicycle?

Planning the Presentation

Be Concise and Brief
Use Audio-Visual Aids for Top-Quality Presentation
Achieve a Presentation with Impact
Presenter's Skills and Confidence

Planning the Presentation

There is a basic sequence. That will capture the initial interest of audience who are already customers
or prospects.
1. Explain clearly the unique advantages of the products or services
2. Emphasize all the successes that the products have achieved, backing up claims with up-todate statistics, and better still, if endorsements can be produced from other customers
3. Explain to audience the possible disadvantage of lagging behind in the marketplace
4. Aim to persuade the audience that the purchase of the product/s or service/s will improve their
status in the market
5. Encourage audience to act immediately to guarantee fulfillment of their order.
Be Concise and Brief

The presentation must be as short as possible and to the point. However, the concluding statements
must end positively. Simply put,
"Tell them what you want to say."
"Say it!"
"Reiterate what you have just said."
Use Audio-Visual Aids for Top-Quality Presentation

The assumption is that the speaker knows how to use comfortably presentation tools like PowerPoint,
slides and other audio-visual aids, otherwise, a specialist or a technician should be on hand to assist.
Thanks to the age of technology, nowadays personal computers with particular software can create
colored texts, images, and animations, all for audience viewing. Another important thing to remember
is to tailor audio-visual presentations to the perceived needs of the audience.
Achieve a Presentation with Impact

The speaker or presenter always comes prepared. Therefore, speech is not read and presentation is
delivered with confidence and knowledge. Effective messages are much easier to recall, convincing and
distinctive, and stimulate audience to positive action:
Be emphatic about the benefit of the offer and start with an arresting statement that hooks
Follow the golden sales rule of addressing solutions not problems, and introduce product or
service (visual, the better) at the earliest possible time
Repeat business brand name frequently.
Never bad mouth the competition to make good one's products and services
Do not over-emphasize technology if audience is non-technical. This is a put off.
Be sincere with what the message
End with a repeat image of the products or services.
Presenter's Skills and Confidence
Presentation skills are important for effective delivery. The speaker or presenter must be confident and at ease
with his/her audience and the fear of public speaking must be overcome. Courses and seminars are available like
public speaking course, presentation skills training and presentation techniques seminar.
To an audience, nothing beats an interesting presentation in which they have an element of fun, at the same time,
wowed by the speaker. Moreover, to the presenter, it means a potential business sale.

Defining a phrasal verb:

A phrasal verb is a type of verb in English that operates more like a phrase than a word. Tom
McArthur in the Oxford Companion to the English Language notes that these verbs are also
referred to by many other names such verb phrase, discontinuous verb, compound verb, verbadverb combination, verb-particle construction (VPC), AmE two-part word/verb and three-part

5 mn

word/verb (772). David Crystal in the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language calls
this linguistic phenomenon a "multi-word verb" that is best described as a lexeme, a unit of
meaning that may be greater than a single word (118).
