Read the following ESSAY and discuss the following elements about emigration:

The Great Escape

Canada

The Clavy family and their two dogs, Bonzo and Doodah, moved from the suburbs of Birmingham to Canada two years ago. Marion, a full-time housewife, and Andy Clavy, a mechanical engineer with a machine supply company, now live with their two children, Matthew, 12 and Mark, 9 in Stony Plain, Alberta, not far from the Rocky Mountains.

Marion: I still can't believe we're actually here. Do we really live in this big house, surrounded by fir trees, on four acres of land, just three hours' drive from the Rockies? It's the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen. Not that life in Birmingham was that bad. We were comfortably well-off, but Andy

worked 12-hour days. He used to come home every night, have a shower, eat dinner, then crash out. I thought, “There must be more to life than this!” We rarely spent time together as a family.

Then Andy was made redundant and given a pay-out of more than £20,000, so we took the plunge. We had always wanted to live in Canada, ever since we'd visited cousins here, so we applied. Our application took a nail-biting eighteen months to be accepted and it cost £2,000.

Then we sold our house, a semi with a pocket-handkerchief garden. Emigrating is an expensive business. It cost £1,000 just to fly the dogs here!

We didn't know a soul when we arrived in Alberta, but in just a few months we had made plenty of Canadian friends. It took time for us to get used to the way they come into your house and use the telephone and take drinks from the fridge without asking. But I’m less English about such things now.

Moving Canada has made us a lot closer as a family. We do sports together, visit friends' houses for barbecues, and go sightseeing in the Rockies. The children love their schools. They think it's great not to have to wear a uniform. And the girls go mad for Matthew here because of his English accent-the phone never stops ringing!

I don't miss much about England, except the castles and the greenness of the countryside, but now we have the Rocky Mountains. I certainly don't miss the English weather. Even in the winter here, when the temperature is -45 degrees, the sun usually shines, and the sky is blue.

Andy: Before we moved, I was always too exhausted to do anything with Marion and the boys. Now I only work eight-hour days. Marion and I have much more time for each other. Business is a lot more relaxed, too. You don't wear suits and ties, and nobody calls anybody 'Mr.'. It's all first names and T-shirts and jeans. It took a few months to find a decent job, so for a while we had financial worries. But in the end, I was lucky. Unemployment here is quite high.

I don't miss anything about England except the cricket, and of course my family, but my parents have already visited us twice. My sisters are staying with us at the moment and having a great time. Moving here is the best thing we've ever done.

In the first paragraph discuss

1. 1) Why did the Clavy family emigrate? (Give two reasons)

2. 2) What does Marion miss about England? 3. 3) What does Andy miss about England?

In the second paragraph

4. 4) Find out the following items and write them down:

5. 5) Five "time expressions". 6. 6) Three simple present tense verbs. 7. 7) Three simple past tense verbs. 8. 8) Two present perfect verbs. 9. 9) Two past perfect verbs.

In the third paragraph

10) Find words that have the following meanings: a. fall asleep

b. anyone

c. took an important decision 11) The compound "house-wife" is in the essay. Form other compounds using:

a. junk. b. home. c. life. d. book e. time

In the fourth paragraph:

12) Decide if the following dates written right ( ) or wrong ( )

a. 13/4/1919 = the 13th of May, 1919 (----)

b. 25/7 = the 25th of July (----)

b. 6/9/2019 = 6th September 2019 (----)

c. 13/6/1984 = June 13th, Nineteen Eighty-Four (----)

In the fifth paragraph:

13) Translate the following: I still can't believe we're actually here. Do we really live in this big house, surrounded by fir trees, on four acres of land, just three hours' drive from the Rockies? It's the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen.

Read the following text and in the form of an ESSAY, discuss the following elements about emigration:

The Great Escape

Greece

Hazel and Barry White left England five years ago with their baby daughter, Daisy. They moved from their basement flat in north London to a two-bedroom apartment overlooking the sea on the Greek island of Agastri. They earned about £18,000 between them in London, working in the hotel business. They have set up a watersports business in Greece.

Barry: Daisy was three months old when I decided we simply had to leave London. We weren't unhappy in London; we enjoyed our work. But we worried that our child couldn't run freely in the busy London streets. We wanted her to grow up carefree and in the sunshine. Hazel and I had had a couple of holidays in Agastri and had made some Greek friends there. It's very beautiful and peaceful. In Greek, agastri means 'fishing hook', and the locals say, “When you come to Agastri, you're hooked” So we took the plunge, sold our

flat, and moved. Our family and friends thought we were crazy.

A tourist sports business seemed a good way to earn a living in Greece, so with the money from our flat we bought waterskiing equipment and two speedboats. Later, I bought a varka or passenger boat for fishing trips and picnics round the island. Running the business hasn't been easy. Things are very bureaucratic here and sometimes this can be very frustrating. It took some time to get used to so many forms and officials, but I'm more patient now.

Also, I've found the Greek language very difficult. Fortunately, I understand more than I can speak, so I get by. But Daisy is more Greek than English now. She's absolutely bilingual and the only English child at her school. Living on Agastri is definitely better for her. She runs round the village and talks to everyone. Everyone knows her.

I don't miss England much, mainly family and friends. I do miss the theatre so much but we get good movies here. I also miss sausages, Stilton cheese, and white thick-sliced bread! But that's all. I think Hazel has found it more difficult than me.

Hazel: I didn't realize what a big culture shock it would be. It has taken me a long time to get used to the Greek way of life, especially on such a small island. Here the women aren't treated the same way as men. They are expected to stay at home more, and in the winter, they hardly go out at all. But people are very kind and generous. In a way, the

community is like a big happy family, which is great, especially for Daisy, but it also means that everyone knows everything about you.

I have a few Greek women friends, but the language barrier was very hard at first. I used to visit their homes for coffee and sit for hours not understanding a single word. Our life here has certainly tested my relationship with Barry. The business has had some bad times. There's such a huge difference between our winter and summer income, and money worries cause our tempers to

fray! Next winter, I’m going back to London for a few months with Daisy - I miss my parents terribly. No doubt I'll be back here with Barry in the spring, but I'm not entirely sure. I sometimes have doubts about living here.

In the first paragraph discuss

1. 1) Why did the White family leave England?

2. 2) What does Barry miss about England? 3. 3) What does Hazel miss about England?

In the second paragraph find out the following items and write them down:

4. 4) Three "time expressions". 5. 5) Three simple present tense verbs. 6. 6) Three simple past tense verbs. 7. 7) Two present perfect verbs. 8. 8) Two past perfect verbs. 9. 9) Threenegativeverbs. 10. 10) Words that have the following

meanings: 1. without a worry 2. involve a lot of complicated official

paperwork. 3. a feeling of shock and anxiety that

you have when you travel to another

country.

In the third paragraph:

11) "house-wife" is an example of compounds. Form compounds using:

a. food. b. home. c. life.

d. book e. time

12) Decide if the following dates are written right ( ) or wrong ( )

1. 1) a. 13/4/1919 = the 13th May, 1919 (----) 2. 2) b. 25/7 = July seventh (----) 3. 3) b. 6/9/2019 = the 6th of September,

2019 (----)

4. 4) c. 23/10/1980 = October 23, Nineteen Eighty (----)

Read the following text and in the form of an ESSAY, discuss the following elements about tourism and its negative effects:

Death by Tourism: Does Tourism ruin everything that it touches?

At the entrance to one of the ruined temples of Petra in Jordan, there is an inscription chiseled into the soft red rock. It looks as if it has been there for centuries. It could have been carved by one of King Herod’s soldiers, when they were imprisoned in the town in 40 BC. But closer inspection reveals that it is not so ancient after all. It reads: Shane and Wendy from Sydney were here. April 16th 1996.

The ruins of Petra were discovered in 1810 by a Swiss explorer, and a recent report has just concluded that ‘they are in grave danger of being destroyed by the unstoppable march of tourism.’ More than 4000 tourists a day tramp through Petra’s rocky tombs. They wear away the soft red sandstone to powder and occasionally scratch their names into the rock.

It is not just Petra that is under threat of destruction. More than 600 million tourists a year now travel the globe, and vast numbers of them want to visit the world’s most treasured sites: the Parthenon, the Taj Mahal, Stonehenge, the national parks of Kenya. The tourist industry will soon be the largest industry in the world, and it has barely reached its 50th birthday. Many places that once were remote are now part

of package tours. Will nothing put a stop to the growth of tourism?

First Paragraph: Discuss with your friend whether the following statements are true (√) or false (×):

1. An ancient inscription has been discovered at the entrance of a ruined temple in Petra. ( ) 2. Nearly 1.5 million tourists a year visit Petra. ( ) 3. The stone in Petra is so soft that the tourists’ feet are destroying it. ( )

4. Tourism has been the world’s largest industry since the 1960s. ( ) 5. It is now possible to go everywhere in the world on a package holiday. ( )

Second Paragraph: Give Only ONE example to a touristic site in your country that might be destroyed because of the negative effects of tourism. Then mention the following that you find in the passage: a country in Africa, an Indian touristic site, a European nationality, an Arab country in Asia, the name of a temple.

Third paragraph: Discuss with an English tourist the words in the passage that have the same or similar meaning to the following: hardly, shows, serious, examination, demolition.

Fourth paragraph: Your Indian friend asks you to help her find in the passage the words that have the following meanings:

The commercial organization and operation of holidays and visits to places of interest.

The physical destruction or disintegration of something or the state of disintegrating or being destroyed.

A person who travels from place to place on foot in search of work or as a vagrant or beggar.

(of a place) situated far from the main centres of population; distant.

Belonging to the very distant past and no longer in existence.

Fifth paragraph: Discuss with your Egyptian friend the grammatical structures that you find in the passage to send its message: an adverb, a verb in the present simple, a passive voice, a preposition, an article, a superlative adjective, a verb in the past simple, to + infinitive, a verb in the future tense, a question.

Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge. The bridge was being repaired. She went right through the Danger sign. The car fell a hundred feet into the ravine, smashing through the treetops feathery with new leaves.

I was informed of the accident by a policeman: the car was mine, and they’d traced the license. His tone was respectful: no doubt he recognized Richard’s name. He said the tires may have caught on a street

track or the brakes may have failed, but he also felt bound to inform me that two witnesses- a retired lawyer and a bank teller- dependable people- had claimed to have seen the whole thing. They said Laura had turned the car sharply, unkindly and deliberately and had plunged off the bridge with no more fuss than stepping off a curb. They had noticed her hands on the wheel because of the white gloves she had been wearing.

It wasn’t brakes, I thought. She had her reasons. Not that they were ever the same as anybody else’s reasons. She was completely ruthless in that way.

‘ I suppose you want someone to identify her’ I said. ‘I’ll come down as soon as I can’. I could hear the calmness of my own voice. In reality, I could barely get the words out. My mouth was numb. I was furious with Laura for what she’d done.

‘I’m afraid there will be an inquest, Mrs. Griffen,’ he said.

‘Naturally, I said. ‘But, it was an accident. My sister was never a good driver.’

I could picture the smooth oval of Laura’s face, her neatly pinned chignon, the dress she would have been wearing, her solemn half-smile; the amazed lift of her eyebrows, as if she were admiring the view.

The white gloves: a Pontius Pilate gesture. She was washing her hands of me; Of all of us.

A Planet Poisoned by plastic

Hawaii is generally considered to be the one place in the world where you should be able to guarantee finding paradise. The beautiful tropical islands have been used as the setting for countless TV series and films, ranging from Lost to Jurassic Park. Isolated in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, distance alone should protect Hawaii's spectacular landscapes and turquoise sea from the environmental problems facing the rest of the planet.

So, when I arrived in Hawaii, I was staggered to discover beaches covered in plastic rubbish washed up from around the world. Pristine sand was covered by old plastic toothbrushes, combs, shoes, belts and mouldings. Sam Gon, a Hawaiian conservationist, took me to one beach where 70 local volunteers were doing their best to remove tons of garbage. But as soon as it was cleaned, the waves dumped another mountain of rubbish.

The larger pieces of waste can be collected by hand. But when Sam and I dropped to our knees, I could see the surface of the beach was covered with millions of small plastic pellets, known as 'nurdles '. These are the raw material that factories use to form the infinite number of plastic products that fill our lives. These are dumped out of factories into our seas in their trillions.

Yet the big shock came when Sam told me to dig into the sand. Plastic doesn't biodegrade. Instead it breaks down into ever smaller pieces. Among the grains of sand were billions of tiny plastic flecks, which the pounding of the sea was reducing in size. As I dug through the plastic, I realised the sandy beach was being transformed into a plastic beach.

A chill went down my spine. From the beaches of Hawaii to the seas around Britain, we are soiling our own nest. It was a shock to realise how much British beaches have changed since I was a child playing on beautiful coastlines in Dorset and south Wales. Just like those in Hawaii, they are now covered in more litter than ever before.

Since 1994, plastic litter has increased by an extraordinary 121 per cent. The plastic we see on our beaches is just a fraction of the plastic waste that is clogging our oceans. Incredibly all the plastic ever created is still out there in the environment in some form.

There are an estimated 600,000 plastic containers dumped overboard by ships every single day. In total, at least 100 million tons of plastic rubbish is thought to be sloshing around in our seas. The scale of the problem is extraordinary.

We need to spurn and reject the main culprits: plastic bags, packaging and single-use water bottles, a wasteful obscenity. These make up the bulk of plastic garbage. In Bangladesh, they have done away with plastic bags and replaced them with natural jute bags. If they can do it, so can we. England has recently joined the growing number of countries which impose a tax on plastic bags, and the small town of Modbury in Devon has banned them completely. At stake is the future of beaches, our seas, and the food chain. It is nothing short of an environmental emergency.

Based on your reading of the previous essay discuss the following:


1. Write a paragraph in not more than 80 words to explain how plastic is causing 'an environmental emergency'. Discuss what "nurdles" stand for.

In the body:

2. Find a sentence in the present simple. 3. Find a sentence in the past simple. 4. Find a past passive sentence. 5. Change into the negative:

a. The waves dumped another mountain of rubbish.

b. Hawaii is the one place in the world where you should be able to find paradise.

6. Find a present perfect sentence. 7. Find two words that mean 'rubbish'. 8. Find two sentences with different time-

expressions.

In the conclusion:

9. Translate the following: Yet the big shock came when Sam told me to dig into the sand. Plastic doesn't biodegrade. Instead it breaks down into ever smaller pieces. Among the grains of sand were billions of tiny plastic flecks, which the pounding of the sea was reducing in size. As I dug through the plastic, I realised the sandy beach was being transformed into a plastic beach.
