Talking about Causes and Effects -Thurs
Obj: Use the terms properly to link the cause & effect
• If there is a cause, it is always common to expect the effect. For
example, if there is migration, there are challenges the emigrants face
though the degree varies from country to country or context to
context. In speaking or writing, when we talk about cause and effect
relationships, it is inevitable to use the sentence connectors such as:
• because, since, as, owing to, due to ,therefore, so, is caused by, due to, the
cause of …. is, as a consequence, as a result, consequently, thus, hence and the
like.
• Look the following examples with the terms:
1. Due to a large population, there is a shortage of resource.
2. Many Ethiopian girls migrates to the middle east because they want to get a
better job.
3. We have a good school manager; there fore, all the workers are happy.
4. Since there is a civil war in the northern part of Ethiopia, a lot of people have
been migrating.
5. There is a scarcity of job opportunity, so many people migrate to other
countries.

Diphthongs
-Tues
• Be in pair & discuss on the following questions:
1. Do you remember what diphthongs are?
2. Write out some of them that you remember
3. Now. Make your own words using them
• Diphthongs: literally mean “having two sounds.” More specifically, diphthongs
deal with vowels. Every vowel has its own short sound and long vowel sound.
However, diphthongs come into play whenever a vowel makes a new and
different sound, usually because it’s working in conjunction with another vowel.
Just like the following picture:
•
• For this class , you learn the two diphthong [eI] and [aI ]
/aɪ/ This diphthong uses letters and letter combinations like /i/, /igh/, and /y/ to
form sounds similar to “eye.” Here are a few more examples:
Cry, My, Like, Bright, Lime…..
/eɪ/ This diphthong uses letters and letter /eɪ/ combinations like /ay/, /ai/ to form
sounds similar to “great.” Here are a few more examples:
Bake, Rain, Lay, Eight, Break….
ACTIVITY: Add some more examples by your own
•
READING COMPREHENSION: Immigration -
Wed
Obj: advance their skill of reading, tackle questions
The number of migrants in the world has more than doubled in one generation and today the
number of people who have settled down in a country other than their own is estimated at
190 million worldwide. This represents 3 per cent of the world population, and is comparable
to the population of Brazil. Nearly all countries are affected by international migration,
whether as sending, transit, or receiving countries, or as a combination of all three.
International migration has become an intrinsic feature of globalization. As the world
globalizes in terms of nations’ economies, trade and investment, borders are opened up more
easily for “freer” flow of goods and products. People are also free to move around the world.
People emigrate from one country to another for a variety of complex reasons. Many migrants
have economic reasons to move. Many are in search of better socio-economic perspectives
and seek to work abroad. Some work legally while others have no work permit and are
employed in the shadow economy. Other migrants move because of political conditions or
political persecution. They escape war, civil strife, ethnic conflict, violations of human rights or
other circumstances. Some are recognized as refugees straight away, often in neighboring
countries. Others become asylum-seekers. Asylum-seekers and refuges are not always entitled
to work, but many work illegally.
• Part one: Read the questions and say true if they are correct, false if they are
wrong & not given, if there is no answer.
1) The number of migrants today is very high everywhere. _________
2) Migration is strictly linked to globalization. __________
3) More than 2 million immigrants live in Brazil. ________
4) Immigrants without a working permit generally work in the shadow economy. ___________
