Avoid Upset Eye-contact Tap

Task 3: Read the text in order to give it a title.

English people think that you should avoid physical contact with strangers. When they ride on underground trains, they
keep themselves to themselves. They read on trains or buses so that they don’t have to talk to people they don’t know.
They avoid eye-contact at all costs.
The English are much more conscious of their personal space than other nationalities, especially the Irish or the
Scots. The English allow much less contact, even with friends. And they can be upset if you touch them unexpectedly.
You should never tap an English person on the shoulder if you want to attract their attention. It’s safer to cough or say:
‘Excuse me?’.
When the English meet people for the first time, they shake hands, but then immediately move further away.
Other nationalities, Spanish people or Egyptians, for example, move closer to someone they are speaking to show
intimacy, but not the English.
Task 4: Do the following activities.

1. Answer the following questions. 3 Find in the text words that mean the same as:
a. What do English do on underground trains? a. Subway
b. How to attract an Englishman attention? b. Annoyed

a. English people do not look at your eyes to:
b. English people do not like when you touch them. a. They (paragraph 2)
c. English people do not move closer to you. b. They (paragraph 3)

Task 5: Nowadays in Morocco, many cultural behaviors are being normalized.

For any kind of revolution or growth for a country, the youth is a requirement. They stand as a bridge between
the passing generation and the future generations. The youth does have influence in every sector they are in. Be it
politics, economic development, nation building, combating corruption and so on. How do they have so much of
influence is one factor that needs to be understood. They are nearly 50 % of the developing world; they represent a

step, they fear nothing in front of them and they strive to attain the target that they have set for themselves for the
nation. Youth is the strength of today and the expectation of tomorrow. As Mandela put it: “the youth of today are

2. What are some advantages of technology?
3. What are some disadvantages of technology?
Task 2: Match each vocabulary item with the appropriate picture.

Obese Laundry Busy Gadgets

Task 3: Read the text in order to give it a title.

Modern technology is changing our lives. Smart gadgets make everyday activities easy. But is technology a positive
thing? People have become busy. Technological advances mean that things are possible with one click away. A hundred
years ago, things were different. Everyday jobs, like doing the laundry, would take a whole day, and the telephone was
a new invention!
Research shows that around 28% of children in the UK are obese. People think that this is because they spend
too much time online and not enough time playing outside with friends
There are many benefits of using technology but we need to be responsible of the choices we make. Modern
equipment is very expensive and does not last a long time. It is important to consider how much we really need these
things and the impact they have on our health.

Task 4: Do the following activities.

1. Answer the following questions.


a. In the past how much time did it take to do the laundry?
b. Why are some children from the UK obese?
c. What should we consider when buying new equipment?
2. Find in the text words that mean the same as:
a. New (paragraph 1)
b. Kids (paragraph 2)
c. Advantages (paragraph 3)
3. What do the underlined words in the text refer to?

Global Test (Semester 1)

I. Reading Comprehension (7p)


Read the text, and answer the comprehension questions.

Today, technology is a subject of debate because it is considered to be a double-edged sword. While it has helped
humanity in extending its potential with outstanding inventions, it is nonetheless threatening humankind through some
other destructive ones. In addition to polluting the earth in unprecedented ways, wars have become more and more
devastating due to technological inventions.
Furthermore, Ethical dimensions of recent technological developments, such as DNA
engineering, have become a focal point of questioning and discussion. Philosophical
debates have arisen over the use of technology, with disagreements over whether
technology improves the human condition or worsens it.
To make matters worse, a consensus definition of technology has become more difficult
to find due to recent evolution in science and its applications. It is especially confusing
to decide whether technology refers to the machines (or more precisely the hardware), the rules that govern or make
them work, the system that operates them or the different applications of science that are related to them. What is sure
is that technology has shaped societies and adapted itself to people's changing needs.

Humour is any human communication which makes people laugh or feel happy. It is the ability or quality of people to
summon feelings of amusement in other people. Who does not enjoy a great laugh whenever possible? Laughter is a
great medicine and one of the most positive human emotions. Not only does it strengthen our immune system, but it
releases beneficial hormones that refresh us, calm our nerves, reduce tension and stimulate creativity.
Many researchers, including Drs. Lee Berk and Stanley Tan, have studied the benefits of laughter and humor.
They have published studies that show that laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety, relaxes muscles, and
strengthens the immune system. Apart from the significant medical benefits of laughter, all of us enjoy having a good
laugh. And we enjoy being around people who make us laugh. Laughter can release negative tensions both physically
and psychologically. It is a wonderful natural sedative.

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. They also include social unrest, political conflicts and
wars. The pull factors, however, include intellectual freedom and substantial funds for research.

Task 4: Do the following activities.

1. Are the following statements true or false? Justify.


a. Brain drain is concerning developing countries.

Task 3: Read the text in order to give it a title.

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. It is thus the ability to meet the needs of the present while contributing to the
future generations’ needs. It focuses on two goals: to improve the quality of life for all of the Earth's citizens, and to
stop using up the natural resources beyond the capacity of the environment to supply them indefinitely.
Green development is generally differentiated from sustainable development. Even if they both promote
development, green development prioritizes environmental sustainability over economic and cultural considerations.
Sustainable development requires action on the part of world states, governments and people. The detrimental situation
of the environment, the enormous stress upon our natural resources, and the huge gap between developed and
underdeveloped countries, necessitate practical strategies to reverse the trends.

I. Reading (10 pts)

Read the following text and do the related exercises.


The term ‘Brain Drain’ was first used by the United Kingdom in 1960 when the skilled workforce started
emigrating from the developing or under-developed countries to the developed countries (first world countries). It
refers to the situation when highly qualified and trained people leave their countries to settle down in developed
countries. It is also known as human capital flight.
This concept of Brain Drain is a matter of serious concern for any nation because it takes off individuals from
their homeland to another foreign land. People go abroad to pursue higher education and settle there because of better
work and attractive pay packages. Talented, skilled, and experienced professionals migrate to other countries for
better careers. They get attracted by better standards of living and quality of life, higher salaries, access to advanced
technology, and more stable political conditions.
The factors for the rise of Brain Drain are also called Push and Pull factors. The Push factors are the factors
connected to the country of origin and Pull factors are the factors connected with the country of destination.
