 Some people argue that counterfeiting benefits consumers by giving them access to

Some people argue that counterfeiting benefits consumers by giving them access to
lower-price goods. This is a totally mistaken claim.

.co
First, imitated goods are poor quality and do not last long. There is then no guarantee of
value for money and more importantly, that fake goods are safe. Imagine how much

ly
damage low quality parts fitted in a car can do to the driver and passengers when they

b
fail!

ee
Secondly, if we think of fake foods or medicines, and the criminal procedures used by the
people who make them, we can only remain firm on buying authentic products. There are
i.w
several cases of substitute edibles which have caused dangerous diseases to people and
which have resulted in long-lasting law suits. The outcomes could only be compensations
al

paid for irreparable damage but the moral damage caused to the victims can never be
repaired! Recent figures released by the European Union show that the customs are
m

confiscating 100 million fake items every year.

ze

Thirdly, it is highly immoral to reap where other people have sown. Pirating products is
indeed imitating other people’s property, and refusing to engage in a creative act. It is
m

much more rewarding to turn one’s abilities to creating new objects of value that could
le

serve the community, or improve the performance of existing ones.

.sa

Fourthly, pirating objects is by essence theft, especially when the producer of a fake item
affixes the label of a well-known trade mark on it. Some countries are notorious for their
w

practice of counterfeit objects. One wouldn’t like Algerians to be known for practicing
this dubious trade, as much as one wouldn’t like to see them buy cheap, fake products
w

and head into unsuspected troubles.

ethical standards when doing business.

There are two opinions:
 The relation between ethics and business:
A) Ethics has nothing to do with business.
B) Ethics has everything to do with business.

Arguments:
A) Ethics has nothing to do with business ,there is no relation between ethics and
business, they are separated issues because:
 1) You need money to make money.
2) People start business to become wealthy.
3) People do business with each other for profit.
4) The world of business is a jungle.
5) Moral issues are a diversion.
6) Respects of an ehical code my limit production and competition.
7) Ethics can undermine the values of hard work and freedom.

B) Ethics has everything to do with business. there is a relationship between ethics

and business, they are linked issues because:
1) Business is a human activity and should therefore, comply with moral standards.
2) Some businessmen abuse work/safety regulations.( child labor)
3) Some business activities endanger the environment.
4) Greed may result in unfair competition and exploitation.

5) Business activities should have a code of good practice to ensure fairness.

Lifestyle in the future

Possible changes in our life styles in the next decades

A. Shopping habits
w

B. Eating habits
w

C. Entertainment and leisure

We may live a totally different life in the next few decades because modernity has
brought with it a new life style. Nowadays people take less time to eat, go to fast food
shops to gulp hamburgers, hot dogs and chips. In the future, we might have conventional
food being replaced by food substitutes like pills, or we might get our nutrients out of
crude oil; that would shorten meal times even further.
Conversely, many people are prepared to spend more time shopping in supermarkets (and
even on the Internet). A lot of them are now becoming shopaholics, buying products that
they don’t really need.
Their number will rise further in the near future.
This is partly because it is much easier to shop, especially as more and more
supermarkets are equipped with fast serving cash desks which prevent long queues. In the
future, shop assistants may be replaced by robots which could actually do the same job as
them, with greater efficiency and in less time. That of course would probably have side
effects like an increase in unemployment.
Leisure will also change, because of the development of all sorts of electronic devices,
like the multimedia, cable television and other contrivances. People will be less tempted
to go out for a film, a play or a concert. They’ll pay even less visits to each other because
the cell phone is such a convenient way to keep in touch. And what to say about the
Internet through which people can instantly chat with and watch each other via the web
cam! Alternatively, we’ll have more free time to enjoy holidays at lower prices in distant
places. But is this life of the future the kind of life people would like to have? Couldn’t
modernity preserve social relations and be a means to an end rather than an end in itself?

food safety
le

 Food safety has become one of the major worries for mankind
.sa

This worry has three major sources:

CAUSES / REASONS RESULTS / EFFECTS
w

Industries polluting the soil with chemicals: Poisoning of water resources :

w

too many toxic waste thrown into rivers. Too little water to drink.
Too many oil spills. Fruits and vegetables containing
w

Farmers using too many insecticides sprays. insecticide and chemical residues
too many additives : Destruction of aquatic life.
preservatives, flavorings, colorings People developing allergies :
using too much salt, sugar, to sweeten the food. suffering from food poisoning
too few people preparing their own meals : putting on weight
too many people eating in fast food restaurants. developing diseases.
Fast food containing too much fat.

Food safety has become one of the major worries for mankind.
This worry has three major sources: the chemical contamination of agricultural products,
the use of additives, preservatives and colorings in a large number of food products and
the consumption of ready-made food.
Perhaps the first cause for worry about food safety is the highly intensive mode of
farming and agribusiness now prevailing in industrialized countries. This has led big
companies to use chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides to ensure maximum output. As a
result, fruits and vegetables are contaminated by chemicals which may prove harmful to
our health.
The second cause for concern is again related to mass production, and the need to keep
products fresh and attractive.
Consumer requirements have led manufacturers to introduce colorings, additives and
preservatives. Some of them have been suspected of being dangerous while others have
definitely been classified as harmful by independent research laboratories. Scientists
maintain that some colorings and sugar substitutes can cause cancer, diabetes and other

m
metabolic disorders.
Finally, fast food and ready-made meals have led people to take undesirable eating

.co
habits, like nibbling at work or at home, or having frequent snacks in front of the
computer or the TV set. More worrying is the fact that the younger generation are the

ly
most prone to consume fast food and soft drinks. These eating habits, as shown in

b
“advanced” countries especially, have caused a large part of the population to become

ee
overweight or obese, and to develop diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure. These
are due to an excess consumption of animal fat and fried food, as well as sugar and salt.
i.w
In conclusion, the conjunction of contaminated agricultural products, processed foods and
poor eating habits is indeed a good reason to worry about food safety and to take
al

corrective measures to change or improve our attitudes to eating.

The Moon is an earth satellite orbiting our planet from a distance of 384,000kms on

average, and its orbit is in a west-to-east direction. Its surface gravity is only 0.16 that of
the Earth (one sixth), and it does not seem to have life on it, since it has neither

.co
atmosphere nor water. Minimum and maximum temperatures on it are wide apart, with
+110? C on the sunlit side and –170? C in lunar nights. The geology of this satellite is

rock only, and its age is about 4,6 billion years. Plans to reach the Moon on space crafts

have been on scientists’ minds since early 20th century. But they became more concrete

What would happen if a comet collided with Earth?

ee
‫ماذا سيحدث إذا اصطدم مذنب مع األرض؟‬
i.w
I sometimes think with awe about the possible consequences for life on earth if a comet
collided with our planet. I can imagine it hurtling through the atmosphere before it makes
al

its terrible impact on some part of a continent. Scientists do say that a similar incident
m

took place many thousand years ago, and provoked the extinction of many giant animal
species, including dinosaurs.
ze

An enormous crater would form, and possibly cause a volcanic eruption which would
m

send a heavy layer of particles and ash high up in the sky to stop the sun rays from
reaching the Earth. Our planet would then be in the dark for many years, and
le

consequently the temperatures would drop considerably.

.sa

A change in the climate could indeed occur, rainfalls and snowfalls would be frequent,
heavy and long lasting, and floods would result from them; the sea level would probably
w

rise, and cause some flat regions of the Earth to be totally immersed.
Another possible consequence of the impact would be a gigantic earthquake which would
w

destroy many inhabited areas and kill a huge number of people. If the impact were near
w

an ocean, a tsunami could develop and flood vast areas of flat land, causing many people
to die or become homeless.
Facts in the past have shown that a disaster like an impact of a heavenly body on Earth
could destroy life, or at least alter living conditions dramatically. The same could be
repeated if another collision occurred. This is why scientists are thinking up space
programmes to find ways of preventing another accident of this kind.
WRITING 2
Solar and lunar eclipses:
‫خسوف الشمس والقمر‬
Eclipse: passage of an astronomical body through the shadow of another. The term is
usually used for solar and lunar eclipses, which may be either partial or total, but may
also refer to other bodies, for example, to an eclipse of Jupiter’s satellites, by Jupiter
itself. An eclipse of a star by a body in the Solar System is also called an occultation.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun as seen from Earth, and
can happen only at new Moon. During a total eclipse the Sun’s corona can be seen. A
total solar eclipse can last up to 7.5 minutes. When the Moon is at its farthest from the
Earth it does not completely cover the face of the Sun, leaving a ring of sunlight visible.
This is an annular eclipse. Between two and five solar eclipses occur each year but each
is visible only from a specific area. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes into the
shadow of the Earth, becoming dim until emerging from the shadow. Lunar eclipses may

m
be partial or total, and they can happen only at full Moon. Total lunar eclipses last up to
100 minutes; the maximum number each year is three.

.co
A total solar eclipse visible from southwestern England took place on 11 August 1999
and lasted for two minutes. This was the first total solar eclipse to be visible from the UK

ly
since 1927; the next will be in 2090.

the Orion capsule is expected to cost $38 billion.
Why should we be spending such a vast amount of money on astronomy? How is it
useful and beneficial to society?

Dear Miserable,

b
I’m very sorry to hear that you are having difficulty coping with stress and anxiety, due

ee
to the forthcoming final examination. I more than sympathize with your being depressed.
Let me tell you however that taking a few commonsense steps would restore confidence
i.w
and cheerfulness in you.
I think you are working too hard, and not taking enough time for breaks. Do you know
al

that cramming and doing exercises endlessly produce more anxiety in you? That’s why
m

you don’t feel you have time to spare for your friends, and to enjoy some of the pleasures
of life you are entitled to.
ze

So, as I said, you should relax and sleep regularly, meanwhile leaving your brain to
m

process the hardest points of lessons and activities. You should go out for walks or
practice some sport everyday to help you relax. You ought not to worry constantly about
le

the time when your exam occurs, lest you would lose your concentration on the appointed
.sa

day.
Think that after all, you have reached a good level of competence, and that you have
w

enough strategies at this stage to decide how to organize your work. Let me tell you again
w

that when the exam comes, always start with the things you can do easily and leave time
for the most tricky parts.
w

I’m sure that when the time comes, you will be able to overcome your stress and perform
quite successfully. I wish you all the best.

WRITING:
Feelings and emotions expected from Algerian women and men in various situations:

The death of a close friend or a relative, the occurrence of a natural disaster or an

accident, and other fatalities are likely to generate different feelings and emotions in
people.
Actually the difference in reaction is more particularly a question of gender. Men will
tend to hide their grief over the death of somebody they know, or their awe when they
witness a tragedy; during a natural disaster, they will try not to panic and control their
emotions; instead, they will react by taking steps to protect their families and neighbours.
Women will show their emotions more openly. They will express their sadness and
mourning, and cry profusely when they learn about a relative’s death. Likewise, they will
be rather shocked and terrified when they see an accident in which there are casualties.
Finally, they are likely lose their self- control, and fail to take the right decisions to
protect themselves in an emergency.
The difference in response regarding the expression of love and affection will most likely
follow the same pattern. Men always try to avoid excessive sentimentality. They
generally avoid showing in verbal manner too much emotion and feelings to their
families and friends; they will express their care in a different way; for instance by
showing concern, offering help or giving presents. Women are again prone to showing
their feelings more openly. They would more often than not use terms of endearment, and
they often hug and kiss family members, especially children.

m
The differing levels of sensitivity between men and women concerning the facts of life is
probably the reason why their marks of sympathy and affection are dissimilar. But the

.co
male and female attitudes are complementary, and both necessary for good human
interaction.

PASSIVE VOICE:
w

- The student writes the lesson. (Active Voice)

w

S V Obj
- The lesson is written by the student. (Passive Voice)
Obj (to be) + PP S

 To change a sentence from active form to the passive voice the verb should be
transitive (has an object) fly is not a transitive verb. ( the bird flies)
 We place the object at the beginning of the sentence followed by to be in the tense
of the verb in the active voice and we add the past participle of the verb followed
by the preposition “by” and the subject.
Pronoun Subject Active Pronoun Subject Passive
I by me
He by him
She by her
You by you
We by us
They by them
It by it

* To change from passive voice to active voice we put what is after by as a subject
then we derive a verb from the past participle and put it the tense of to be followed
by the object.
The lesson was written by the student.

Was written: the verb is “write” and the tense is the past (was) so: wrote
What is after “by” will be the subject. (The student)

Bullying is when someone keeps saying or doing things to have power over you. This includes
calling you stupid names, saying nasty things about you, leaving you out of activities, not talking to you,
threatening, making you feel uncomfortable or scared, taking or damaging your things, hitting or kicking
you, or even making you do things you don't want to do. Moreover, you can also be bullied by someone’s
lack of attention or reaction.
It is estimated that about 20% of all students are bullied in school at any time, and about half have

m
experienced bullying at some points before. Bullied students can feel unhappy, afraid, uncomfortable,

co
depressed, hurt and alone. Therefore, many of them begin to perform poorly in academic work. Some
end up dropping out of school. They may suffer depression and anxiety. They suffer eating and sleep

y.
disorders and lose interest in activities they used to enjoy.

The term “obese” describes a person who is very overweight, with a lot of body fat. Obesity, which is

y.
a common problem in the UK, is estimated to affect around one in every four adults and around one in

bl
every five children. For many people, modern living involves eating excessive amounts of cheap, high-
ee
calorie food and spending a lot of time sitting down at desks, on sofas or in cars.
i.w
It is very important to take steps to tackle obesity because, as well as causing obvious physical
changes, it can lead to a number of serious and potentially life-threatening conditions, such as type 2
diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer like breast cancer. It may also affect the quality of life
al

and lead to psychological problems such as depression and low self-esteem.

m

The best way to treat obesity is to eat a healthy, reduced-calorie diet, eat slowly and avoid situations
ze

where to overeat. In addition, sport should be practised regularly.

Teach your child responsibility. If he has made a mistake, he needs to learn to admit that he did
something wrong, and to apologize for it. Teach your child that cheating is wrong and inexcusable under
any circumstances. Tell your child that being honest is the only way to succeed.

m
Make sure your child develops an internal moral code. Do not just make him follow rules because

co
that is the best way to avoid trouble. Your child should be given moral values to be ready to defeat
negative behaviour and illegal acts to build a society based on justice, morality, honesty and loyalty.

NASA has confirmed the discovery of Kepler 452b, the most Earth-like planet ever encountered. It

bl
is located in the Goldilocks zone, an area in which a planet is just the right distance from a host star.
This planet would have “just the right” conditions to support liquid water and possibly even life. This
ee
extraordinary world was spotted by the Kepler Space Telescope and is the first confirmed planet among
i.w
over 500 potential candidates being added to the mission’s catalogue. The planet is 1,400 light-years away
from our Solar System and orbits a star that astronomers call our Sun’s cousin. While this star is four
al

percent more massive and ten percent brighter, the distance between it and Kepler 452b is approximately
the same as Earth’s distance from the Sun. The planet itself has a radius 60 percent larger than Earth and
m

is suspected to be rocky, with a thick atmosphere and a significant amount of water.

ze

Kepler 452b’s host star is 1.5 billion years older than ours, and will give scientists a glimpse into
how the Sun’s age will eventually affect Earth. “The increasing energy from its aging sun might be
m

heating the surface and evaporating any oceans. The water vapor would be lost from the planet forever,”
le

said Doug Caldwell, a scientist assigned to the Kepler mission. “Kepler 452b could be experiencing now
what the Earth will undergo more than a billion years from now, as the Sun ages and grows brighter.”

When I was a student with a paper to write, I would go to the card catalogue, find the book, write
down a quote from it, and finally incorporate that into my paper. For today’s students, the process is
much easier; they download the quote, however sometimes the line between downloading a quote and
downloading whole sections of existing work gets blurred.
Notions of intellectual property ownership are further complicated by the tendency in today’s colleges
and universities to encourage collaboration. In business schools, where I have taught, we have told
people that teamwork is key to success in the business world; it is a core skill and one that we
celebrate. A lot of this collaboration happens online, using the same tools students use for social
interactions. In this environment, it can become hard to navigate between social and educational media

m
use, hard to distinguish between collaboration and appropriating someone else’s work.

co
But while technology changes, ethical principles do not. Passing someone else’s words off as your
own is still wrong, whether you copied them from a book or from a website. It is our role as educators to
