1 Immigrants, New and Old


Ce texte voque limmigration : sa nature, son importance, son implantation, les problmes quelle gnre et laccueil quelle reoit. Les connaissances apportes ici seront enrichies par celles du folder 8 qui traite de la diaspora indienne.

Folder 1 Latinos in the USA

1. The number of immigrants is nearly the same as the number of babies born in the US. As a consequence,

immigration accounts for 50% of the populations growth.


2. Some people fear immigration because it may cause unemployment and a rise in energy consumption. It may

also increase the amount of rubbish generated by the fast-increasing population. They may also fear they will have to share state benefits. They are afraid immigration will burden already stretched social services such as Medicare, hospitals, surgeries, day-care centres and school. For more information, you can refer to these websites: www.hhs.gov/ or http://www.ssa.gov/ or gwbweb.wustl.edu/resources/Pages/socialservicesresourcesintro.aspx 3. Dark-skinned immigrants now settle in areas that had remained immigration-free so far. This causes an anti-immigration sentiment because people are not used to mixing with foreign populations and sharing their wealth with them. 4. Paragraph 3 could be entitled Immigration better accepted than before or Immigration less of a problem today or Anti-immigration feelings used to be stronger. For example, this is illustrated by the Italian community who used to be discriminated against and refused state contracts at the beginning of the 20th century. Today immigrants of Italian origin have managed to fight their way up the social ladder and to obtain the same rights as the WASPs as proves the case of the ex-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani.

2 The Most Dynamic Minority Group


Le second texte se concentre sur limmigration dAmrique Centrale et dAmrique du Sud. 1. 1: A dynamic and diverse minority group. 2: The fastest growing minority group. 3: The Mexicans and Puerto Ricans: the poorest of the group. 4: The Cubans and other Latino groups. 2. 1900: nineteen hundred first count of Hispanics. 500,000: five hundred thousands number of Hispanics at the beginning of the 20th century. 25%: twenty-five percent the Latinos could represent a quarter of the whole US population. 2050: year two thousand and fifty year when the Latino population could reach 25% of the US population. 65%: sixty-five percent proportion of Hispanics of Mexican origin. 10%: ten percent proportion of Hispanics of Puerto Rican origin. 1848: eighteen forty-eight date when California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Colorado ceased being Mexican territory and became American territories. 1898: eighteen ninety-eight date when Puerto Rico became a US territory. 3. On pourra faire localiser les pays mentionns sur une carte rtro-projete. 4. The Mexicans and Puerto Ricans seem to have menial jobs and to make less money than other Latino groups. The Cubans came to the States for political reasons. Other Hispanic immigrants settled in the US because their countries were plagued by political and economic instability. They seem to be more successful and better-off than Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.

1. Spanglish refers to the mixing of English and Spanish. The word Spanglish comes from the combination

of the words Spanish and English.


2. Spanglish is a vivid and exuberant language. 3. Spanglish is spoken by Hispanic Americans. 4. When they speak Spanglish, people show they belong to a particular social group. 5. Spanglish is also used in the media: radio and TV. 6. Spanish is mainly spoken in Southern cities like Miami and San Francisco. 7. Other aspects of Latino culture that influence the USA are: food, youth styles, entertainment and media. 8. Young Americans think Latino teens are cool and unique. 9. Older people choose to retire to Mexico. 10. Some famous Hispanics are: Riki Martin, Jennifer Lopez or Christina Aguilera. Transcription

A recent headline in the magazine Latina read, When He Says Me Voy, What Does He Really Mean? I think youve understood the headline except perhaps for the two Spanish words me voy which mean Im leaving. Mixing English and Spanish together is so common in the U.S.A. today that it is referred to as Spanglish. It is used by a growing number of Hispanic Americans. Spanglish has very few rules, many variations and is vivid and exuberant. The speakers choose expressions from both languages and sometimes invent entirely new words. Latinos borrow words from English and adapt them to their pronunciation. By speaking Spanglish, people show that they belong to a particular social group they have something to share. Even some radio DJs speak Spanglish and some TV networks are bilingual. The Latinos have not just influenced the language that is spoken in Southern cities like Miami or San Francisco. Latino food, youth styles, entertainment and media are changing the American way of life. Latino culture is influencing all ages. American teenagers think Latino teens are cool and unique. Even senior citizens want to retire to Mexico. Latino stars like Riki Martin, Jennifer Lopez or Christina Aguilera have stolen many hearts. Action Make a one-minute presentation

1. This photo is an old black and white photo in which we can see four children listening to a record being played

on a gramophone. They seem to be Latino children and to be enjoying the music they are listening to. This scene probably goes back to the nineteen fifties or sixties and the children could be listening to a famous singer of the period. 2. This recording may deal with Serranos arrival in the States and his difficulties adapting this new kind of life. It could also be about the hobbies Serrano had when he was a boy. We could say he was fond of music. Liste ouverte; on pensera utiliser le tableau pour valoriser les suggestions de la classe. Cette tape sera un moyen de faire rebrasser lexpression des gots (likes and dislikes) et de la supposition laide des modaux ou adverbes (voir prcis grammatical n 168). 3.

Its latino USA. The complaints abound Why dont immigrants want to learn English? Why do they have to keep on speaking Spanish? Well, learning a new language is not easy. In fact, the immigrants journey is not only to a new country but also to English. Today, we hear stories for the new book, How I learned English. Congressman Jos Serrano grew up in the Bronx. In 1974, he was elected to the NY State Assembly and hes been a member of Congress since 1990. *** My father served with the US military in World War Two. When he was discharged he came home with a stack of Frank Sinatra 78 RPM records. Im blue every Monday thinking over Sunday / That one day when Im with you Like many Puerto Ricans music was a huge part of our lives. I spent hours listening to those records and sometimes singing along. Little did I know that those records were teaching me the language of the mainland where my family would soon move. *** Listening to Sinatra I learned to pronounce every world distinctly. He never swallowed a syllable. From him I learned rhythms, inflections and the sounds of a language that were so different from the one I spoke everyday. Soon we moved to New York where my education in English continued. I went to a school where everyone spoke English and began to fill out my vocabulary. From Sinatra records I learned to say Tuesday like he did, not Toosday like everyone else did. *** As I look back on learning a second language I always think about the doors that opened for me. I can communicate with people from so many different backgrounds and personal experiences in their native tongues. I often think what my life would have been like if I had never heard Sinatra as a kid. Without those 78s there was no way of knowing where I would have gone or what I would have done. But it is safe to say that my life would have been far different.

Vues de la ville poussireuse. SUV. Des gens qui attendent le ciel orageux.

Sasibil, on the US Mexican border, a town thriving on a certain kind of travel industry. The dusty air is sick with anticipation. And every day, as the shadows gets longer, the travellers gather in the departure lounge, a disused brick factory. Meet the people who travel between worlds, the third and the first. On foot, in fear, and equipped with nothing more than the water they can carry. Did your son try and stop you from coming?, I asked Enrique. Of course, he did, hes 10, he told me. But what can you do? I need the work, we need the money. Even he understands that. Theyre called walkers, and there are over 10,000 of them each week. It will take at least four days and nights to cross the desert and reach the nearest town in the US. According to the law of averages, one in a thousand will die of exhaustion and one in three will get caught. Take Pasqual, until a few minutes ago, hoping to work on a farm in California. He and the others will now be deported back to Mexico, but most will try again, probably tomorrow. Arizona is now ground zero in the whole battle over illegal migration. Theres even a growing number of citizens and politicians who want to turn this flimsy fence into a permanent wall along the whole border between the US and Mexico. And yet the face of the nation is changing because of economics, whether its Miguel from Argentina blowing leaves or Jose from El Salvador preparing lunch. 60% of workers in the service industry are migrants. There are now many more Hispanics than blacks in this country. America cant live without them, but can it live with them?

Cette comptence, dont le dveloppement est capital pour tous les lves, ncessite un entranement systmatique. Le prambule commun aux programmes de Terminale dcrit la dmarche : La dcouverte de chaque nouveau document mobilise toutes les capacits ncessaires, dans un premier temps, une comprhension des lments les plus immdiats. Lcrit permet le retour en arrire, la relecture, la rvaluation des donnes, ce que loral ne permet pas. Il offre donc la possibilit dun travail en profondeur o mmoire et logique sont fortement sollicites. Toutes les stratgies de dcouverte du sens sont mises contribution pour construire une comprhension globale, affine progressivement pour donner accs limplicite. La richesse et la longueur croissantes des textes conduisent entranement mthodique, en distinguant la lecture analytique et la lecture cursive La lecture analytique permet dentrer dans la complexit dun texte, den analyser et den interprter les significations explicites et implicites.

COMPREHENSION
Before you read
1. The scene may take place in a poor country in South or Central America, judging by the look of the charac-

ters in the photo on page 21. This little boy may remain illiterate if his parents cant afford to send him to school / to pay for his schooling. Like his parents, he may be poor all his life and live below the poverty line. 2. They could think of emigrating or abandoning him so that he can be adopted by a rich family who will provide him with a better future. 3. If the boy is left behind, it means he is abandoned. This is because his parents have emigrated and left him with some other members of the family or because his parents have given him away to an orphanage to have a better future.

It is the way to get out of poverty. Selon le niveau de la classe on pourra travailler lopposition : Unlike Honduras, the US is synonymous with money, affluence, hope 9. The terror she is about to inflict: Enrique will feel panicky, terrorized when he finds out she has abandoned him, she has gone and left him behind. It seems that there is nobody else to take care of him / he cant live without her. She is going to inflict this suffering on her son to offer him a better future and especially to give him a proper education and schooling. She can think of no other solution. 10. The other two nouns used to describe the feelings Enrique will go through are ache and emptiness. 11. What will become of him? Lourdes loves him so much she cannot say a word. She cannot carry his picture. It would melt her resolve. She cannot hug him. He is five years old. These elements show that she worries about him and that her decision is a very difficult one. She is afraid her courage may fail if she speaks to her children or kisses them goodbye. On pourra utiliser lexpression de la crainte. 12. The sentence It is for them she is leaving, she tells herself, but still she feels guilty shows that she is not doing it for her own sake and that she feels heart-broken and guilty at the idea of making her children suffer. But she hopes she will be able to offer them a better future. She is making a sacrifice by leaving them. 13. Its up to the pupils to discuss. Here are a few suggestions: she should explain to him that she is going away for some time, that she is doing this for his good because she loves him and wants his happiness. He should be able to understand. One should never lie to children! She should take them with her.

GRAMMAR FILE GRAMMAR FILE GRAMMAR FILE


Les programmes de Terminale excluent le cours de grammaire en tant que tel mais invitent les professeurs toujours aborder la grammaire partir des documents proposs et en contexte dutilisation. Les avances sont accompagnes de rvisions et de rcapitulations rgulires dont les lves garderont la trace sous forme de documents crits; ainsi les nouvelles connaissances sont intgres aux connaissances antrieures, et llve comprend mieux la cohrence de lorganisation linguistique. Cest grce cette approche que llve chappe au sentiment de redite et limpression de stagnation. Les structures mises en place sont retravailles dans le cadre de lexploitation des documents en faisant appel un lexique plus large. (BO, hors srie n 5 du 9 septembre 2004.) Dans chaque unit, nous avons choisi un fait de langue que nous faisons observer dans son contexte selon une dmarche dobservation raisonne de la langue. Le professeur pourra enrichir ce corpus par dautres noncs, si possible produits en situation au cours de lexploration du document, pour mettre en vidence les invariants dans le fonctionnement de la langue et montrer comment tout nonc est en relation dtroite dpendance avec la situation dnonciation. On sefforcera de toujours relier intimement la forme au sens et dviter les explications abstraites auxquelles on prfrera toujours des mises en situation concrtes. Observe Cette phase dobservation de la langue est mener en classe aprs la lecture du texte et avant les exercices qui permettent des remplois destins fixer les rgles pralablement dcouvertes. Notre objectif est de dlimiter les concepts clairement par contraste avec dautres structures de la langue anglaise ou les structures du franais. Nous avons utilis les apports de la grammaire nonciative lorsque nous avons pens quelle contribuait rendre la grammaire plus comprhensible. Son principe essentiel est que tout nonc se justifie par le choix de lnonciateur. Il est donc important de faire comprendre aux lves les valeurs des structures afin que leurs propres choix soient le mieux informs possible. Practise Les exercices en contexte permettent une mise en uvre systmatique du point de langue observ dans des phrases en contexte. Ces exercices sont destins principalement au travail la maison. La traduction aide parfois llve prendre conscience des spcificits les plus marques de la langue quil tudie. Il a t aid en cela par une approche contrastive qui lui a permis de reprer ressemblances et diffrences avec le franais et avec la ou les autres langues tudies. Un travail de traduction, parmi dautres exercices, permet den affiner les donnes. Le recours au thme ou la version pour de courts extraits est un moyen efficace pour assurer les connaissances et dissuader llve de calquer une langue sur lautre. Ce dernier comprend que grammaire et lexique sont les deux facettes dun systme de reprsentation et que chaque langue utilise des moyens grammaticaux et lexicaux propres pour exprimer telle ou telle notion. Cette activit mrite rigueur et rflexion; elle est loin de lapproximation bcle dont les lves se satisfont volontiers la fin du cours puisquils ont compris . Cela nous permet aussi de mieux cerner certains aspects de la grammaire en contrastant les deux langues. Action Le jeu propos la fin de la dmarche permet de mettre le point de langue en action, dans une situation de communication ludique. Rvisions Nous proposons un ou deux exercices en contexte permettant de rebrasser des points de grammaire ou des tournures grammaticales dont le support cre le besoin. Des renvois au prcis grammatical permettent aux lves de revoir les points concerns avant de raliser ces exercices.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Gaby Triana began her writing career as a child. She studied at Florida State University and spent the next seven years teaching 3rd and 4th grades in Miami. She wrote numerous stories for children and then for young adults. Cubanita was acclaimed. It is about a Cuban-American girl who wants to be a regular American teenager, something her Cuban immigrant mother definitely does not understand. The more Isa (Cubanita) tries to detach herself from her roots, the more tangled she becomes. Will she ever find the normal American life she dreams of? Or is she destined to become a Cubanita after all? 1. Information: cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba for example and the Culture Blog. Many Cubans emigrate to the USA for political and economic reasons. They mainly settle in Florida. 2. The narrator: Isabel Diaz, or Isabelita as her mother calls her, of Cuban origin, lives in Miami and has just graduated. Arent seniors supposed to feel liberated after graduation? so she must be about 18. 3. Her mother is a real Cubanita: she listens to Guantanamera all the time, she still uses a lot of Spanish, she does not try to take on American habits, to Americanize herself, she cooks Cuban food, she praises her home country all the time. The only thing she talks about is Cuba. 4. Isabelita is looking forward to teaching art at the Everglades National Park camp for the summer and to beginning her life at the University of Michigan. She cant wait to leave Miami and her mother to be free! 5. Isabelitas mother seems to be overprotective. If her husband did not interfere she would not let Isabel 20 Folder 1 Latinos in the USA

leave home: If it werent for Dad, Id never get to experience college away from home. She thinks girls should be trained to be good housewives (as in Cuba). Isabel says: If it werent for Dad, () Id be taking classes locally, learning to cook and sew the holes in my brothers underwear, cultivating my domestic skills. Because thats what a good Cubanita does, you know thinks of nothing but home. Isabelitas mother sticks to her Cuban traditions. She cant imagine that a young lady can be independent. 6. Isabelita feels suffocated because her mother is overprotective, narrow-minded and domineering. She keeps looking back on the past and sort of idealizes Cuba. She tries to enforce her views and does not show much understanding. Although she has become an American citizen she refuses to adjust to the American way of life, to integrate into American society, which embarrasses and annoys Isabel who is and feels American. She says: Cant you try to act like the American citizen you are? 7. Isabelitas father must be modern and open-minded. He probably supports his daughter and wants her to make the most of life / to enjoy life / to make her dreams come true and be happy in life. He wants her to succeed and become independent. 8. Personal answers. Just a few ideas: acting like an American citizen does not mean you deny your roots. Isabelitas mother should make the most of life in the USA without forgetting her previous life and her past. She could stick to her eating habits, some of her traditions and listen to the music she likes without preventing the other members of the family from enjoying the American way of life which means freedom, happiness, independence, success, mobility She should want her daughters happiness and understand that Cuba does not mean anything to her daughter who has never even been there.

2. The hundreds of people are hoping to find the American dream, and money since they think American cities

are paved in gold.


3. The scene takes place in the outskirts of Mexico City. The noise we can hear in the background is the noise of

the migrant train across the border.


4. 15 to 20% of the population has left and moved to the States. 5. Orlando came from Nicaragua. He was waiting to catch a train North. 6. In 1998, Hurricane Mitch flattened the area from Guatemala to Panama. 7. Hondurass clothing sector has been under some stress from competition from China, Vietnam and Nicaragua. 8. These people leave their sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, homes and culture behind. They believe there are

enough jobs in the US / they will get jobs. 22 Folder 1 Latinos in the USA

9. The guards task is to beat immigrants from the train. 10. The company is under pressure from the Mexican Government / to contain the migration. Transcription Presenter They come from Central America: San Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala. Thousands

of deliberately faceless, nameless men and women on their way to the US. They walk or hitch rides. Some hop trains. Many end up here. More than 16,000 miles of train tracks that line the mountains and valleys of Mexico meet at this train yard in Lecheria on the outskirts of Mexico City. This is the last point in Mexico on the migrants trip to the border. They are in search of the American Dream. The old stories that American streets are paved in gold persist in the poor villages and cities of Central America. Jeff Purcell is with the Pew center for Hispanic studies. Purcell Were seeing 15 to 20 percent of the population that move to the United States. The percentage is among the highest of any of the countries that we get immigrants from. Presenter Orlando was one of dozens of migrants I met who were waiting to catch a train north. Orlando Im Nicaraguan. From Nicaragua I crossed through Honduras, San Salvador, Guatemala, and I still have a way to go through Mexico. Presenter As we talk, Orlando ducks under a bridge to protect his sun-blistered skin. Hundreds of men and women arrive here daily. They wait quietly in groups. Clusters of grey bodies covered in dust kicked up by the trains. The steady flow of immigrants from Central America has sped up in the last decade especially after 1998 when Hurricane Mitch flattened the area from Guatemala to Panama. Honduras still hasnt recovered. Its economy is in shambles. Denise Stanley In the last 4 years the Honduran Maquila clothing manufacturing sector has been under some stress from competition from China, Vietnam and their neighboring country, Nicaragua. Presenter Denise Stanley is a professor with California Sate University. Denise Stanley In other areas you just have rural decline its gotten worse and a big issue about labor market imbalances in which many people will graduate with certificates or degrees and there will not be enough jobs available for them. Presenter But they hear there are enough jobs in the US. So they leave their sons and daughters, their mothers and fathers, their homes and their culture behind. Hector Elandro Mero Garcia is a guard for the train company. Hector (translated) Basically, the company hires us to perform several tasks. For instance the operators ask that we bring them down you know the immigrants, from the train. Presenter The guards often beat the migrants from the trains. The train companies are under pressure from the Mexican Government. Its pressured by the US to contain the migration.

1 Student Mobility
Comme lindique le titre de ce premier texte il est ici question de la mobilit des jeunes au cours des sicles et des opportunits offertes aujourdhui par les programmes europens. 1 et 2. In the18th century students started travelling to learn. In the last two centuries (19th and 20th) wealthy American families have also sent their children to Europe to study and learn social manners. Today more and more youngsters travel to learn or gain professional experience, especially European students who can benefit from special programmes that are part of The Lifelong Learning Programme. 3. The Erasmus program concerns university students whereas the Comenius program is meant for secondary school pupils and their teachers. Thanks to the third program called The Leonardo da Vinci program, young workers can go and train abroad. This program concerns professional education.

2 Culture Shock in Five Stages


Ce second texte explique aux lves en quoi consiste le choc culturel, processus dont ils risquent de faire lexprience sils sont amens effectuer des stages ou travailler ltranger. 1. Words with positive connotations: you may feel excited, stimulated and curious / a healthy reaction / Differences and similarities are accepted / You may feel relaxed and confident / you become more familiar with situations and feel able to cope with new situations / Differences and similarities are valued and important / Most situations become enjoyable Words with negative connotations: you may feel confused, isolated or inadequate / You may feel angry or frustrated, or hostile to the new culture. 2. The 1st, 4th and 5th stages are positive and the 2nd and 3rd negative. 3. At first, you feel intrigued, excited and curious. Then you feel confused, isolated and inadequate. Then, you feel angry, frustrated and hostile. Later, you feel relaxed and confident and finally you find your stay abroad enjoyable. 4. Daily habits, ways of life and rules of tiquette (greetings, eating habits, manners) can cause culture shock.

1. If a student decides to have a break for a year to work or travel abroad, he/she takes a year off. This is

called a gap year.


2. Many students do a gap year straight after secondary school, before going to university. 3. More and more students take gap years. 4. Students say that they do not study and that a gap year broadens the mind. 5. At university students attend classes and study for their exams whereas during a gap year they study in the

real world and learn what real life is like.


6. Doing a gap year is not an easy thing to do because students often have to adapt to a new culture and work

hard to pay for their expenses.


7. They do volunteer work and help poor people. 8. Universities like students taking a year off. 9. They feel that students become more mature, learn foreign languages and discover new cultures. Transcription Lecturer More high school graduates these days take a year off before going to university. This, as you

know, is called a gap year. Gap years have become so popular that, today, consultants can help you decide what to do. Why do you think gap years are so popular? Students You dont have to study. They broaden the mind. Lecturer I dont know if I agree with you that you arent studying when you take a gap year. You are studying in the real world not at school. You are learning what real life is like. Gap years are not easy you often have to adapt to a new culture and work hard to pay your way. Some students say they take a gap year to escape the stress of studying exams at school. Others say they want to see new cultures. Others do volunteer work and help poor people. The important thing is to choose the right gap year for you. Students Dont universities hate students taking time off? Lecturer On the contrary they encourage it. They feel you come back a better person more mature. You learn a foreign language and see what its like to live in other cultures. Gap years are part of the university experience and some universities will think more highly of you if you take one. Action Share your ideas

BEFORE YOU LISTEN


1. The left-hand photo shows a very large class, probably in Africa. The children are crammed in the room and

some are even sitting on the floor. They dont have enough room to open their notebooks and write properly. They look very quiet and serious whereas, in the other photo, we can see a young man and two teenage pupils who are laughing, sitting in front of a computer. The atmosphere is totally different. 2. Damilola is either coaching / mentoring black boys. He is helping them to do their work or giving them advice on how to do their work and learn. He seems to be friendly and close to the boys. 3. It must be hard for a boy to change schools because the teaching methods are totally different and in the school on the right he has to be more autonomous, more independent. However it is probably more attractive to work in this modern and well equipped school.

Damilola And so I found it quite difficult to adjust at first it was a major jump a social change. But I did everything I could to change because, you know, I completely threw myself into it and, you know, when I when I first came, I didnt sound like this I couldnt talk as good English or I didnt speak with this accent I do now.

This text from www.transitionsabroad.com is an essay written by a student on returning from a year abroad. Kate Gustafson won the 2004 Student Writers Contest. Kate, originally from Silver Spring, MD, recently graduated from Amherst College, where she studied anthropology. She is presently a candidate for an MA in International Relations and Religion at Boston University. In this extract, she compares the Nepali and the Scottish programs she went on. 30 Folder 2 Meeting the World

the difficulties she encountered but also what she enjoyed. She may also relate some incidents or events that happened and describe the Nepali and Scottish customs and ways of life. She will probably talk about the people she met and friends she may have made abroad. Finally she may explain what profit she drew from these two semesters spent in foreign countries.

3. The black girl went to Japan where she spent four months. She reports that she felt terribly homesick and

that this stay was one of the most terrible experiences she had ever had because everybody would stare at her and make fun of her. Apparently, she was discriminated against and shown no respect. On pourra ventuellement, selon le niveau de la classe, rebrasser ou prsenter du vocabulaire relatif la discrimination (be discriminated against, be treated unfairly, be looked down on, not to be courteous, to be impolite to) et la moquerie (mock somebody, laugh at, make fun of, be ridiculed, jeer at, snigger). 4. This story did not discourage Kate at all. In fact she applied for the Nepali program just after reading this black girls report because she felt she would learn a lot; she thought this stay would be enriching / would be a fruitful experience even if it was difficult. 5. Her experience in Nepal was challenging, enriching, alarming, enlightening, and thrilling. 6. Her stay was: enriching and challenging: Designing my own research project to learn about Nepali marriage customs by interviewing women in a newly-learned language taught me so much. alarming: she had to to boil water before drinking it, enlightening: Coming face to face with global inequality as strange men proposed to me in the hopes of getting a visa to the US was far more eye-opening than a fun trip with a new boyfriend. thrilling: Dancing in a sari in front of a group of 200 Nepali women singing on a festival holiday was more remarkable than dancing 20 nights away in clubs. 7. To sum up her experience in Scotland she says I had the time of my life because she did not do much work for university, she went out and travelled a lot and everything was familiar and clean. She felt comfortable in this new environment that was so much like home. There was no culture shock, so to speak. 8. In Nepal Kate may have missed her friends and family, the comfort of her home, American food, her car She may have been concerned by the lack of hygiene and safety (no drinking water, vagrant animals, snakes). Cette question pourra tre loccasion de rebrasser lexpression de la probabilit. 9. She found the Nepali program the more enriching and worthwhile. She says the experiences she went through were remarkable and eye-opening. She also mentions that her stay was not fun. She explains she dressed and danced like the Nepali, which was new and far more interesting than going to discos as she did in Scotland. Some words like global inequality took full meaning when men proposed to her in the hope to obtain a visa to the US. She became fully aware of a certain number of things that had remained abstract to her when she realized how poverty drove people out of their country and how lucky women in the western world were. She discovered a world that was totally foreign to her (mentalities, ways of life, customs) and got first-hand experience of the gap between Western and Asian cultures. Learning a foreign language was also a remarkable experience as it means adopting another way of thinking, having a different approach to life, and adopting new social codes and ways of relating to other people. 10. The black girl says, Wherever I went people stared and pointed at me. Children laughed at me: she experienced colour discrimination. She probably could not communicate easily and she was probably left aside because of the language barrier and her race. The Japanese are often fairly quiet and reserved and do not mix easily with foreigners. Their rules of etiquette regarding everyday manners especially greeting and addressing other people are very different so she may have shocked or have been shocked if she was not prepared.

Folder 2 Meeting the World 31

She learnt about another culture and about herself (for instance how sensitive or touchy she is, how hard it is for her to adjust to such a different culture, how inadequate and isolated she can feel when away from her own environment, how frustrated she can get, how easily she can get angry too, how easy it is to become racist and to pass negative judgements, how unbearable intolerance can be, how relative customs are, that she is quite able to get over hardships and fend for herself / cope with difficult situations/ go beyond her limits). On pourra faire travailler les lves par deux ou trois pour faciliter la recherche dides et les renvoyer au second texte du Culture blog. Le professeur pourra prvoir des aides lexicales pour les lves en difficult. Une recherche personnelle sur le Japon permettrait aux lves de se renseigner sur cette culture pour dpasser les strotypes.

TEXT FILE 2 Cross Cultural Blunders

Manuel p. 38

After many years travelling and studying in the Middle East, Neil Payne completed an MA in Middle Eastern Studies in London. After spending some time as a linguist and trainer he founded Kwintessential Ltd, one of the UKs most up-and-coming intercultural consultancies. The company supports businesses working internationally through a range of key cross cultural communication services. These include cultural awareness training, brand/concept analysis, translation, interpreting, language tuition and multilingual website design. (www.kwintessential.co.uk/cultural-services/cross-cultural-communication.html) 1. blunders = gaffes. Cross cultural blunders are gaffes that happen when people belonging to different cultures work or live together. 2. Differences in values and etiquette, in language or non-verbal communication lead to cross cultural blunders. 3. They may cause misunderstandings, fights, or even more serious problems such as diplomatic problems, delays in negotiations, poor image of a country, poor marketing and loss of markets. 4. Kellogg had to change the name of a type of cereal because it was insulting to Swedish farmers. 5. For the advertiser come alive means cheer up whereas the Taiwanese thought it meant come back to life, rise from the dead. 6. To the advertiser drop meant leave but, in Bangkok, they understood it meant take off. 7. The zoo sign literally means : feed the guard with the food youve got if it is suitable. 8. This article stresses the paramount importance of knowing about your foreign partners culture: today you have to know about differences in values and etiquette, in language or non-verbal communication when travelling or doing business with foreign people. You must get cross cultural awareness training. Action Make up a quiz

But there will be changes in the climate. 4: Scientists all agree on the fact that the Earths climate is changing; but some say that humans are partly to blame whereas others consider that changes in climate are part of nature and that, over the ages, there have been cold periods and warm periods. 3.

2 The Human Factor


1. A greenhouse is a heated room made of glass in which you grow plants thanks to heat and light. In French,

une serre.
2. The greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, created by burning wood and other fuels, chlorofluorocarbons

used in air conditioners and refrigerators, methane gas from rotting garbage and animal waste and nitrogen oxides from car exhaust and power-plant smokestacks. 3. Because of the greenhouse effect, the earths temperature may rise, which may cause the polar ice and glaciers to melt, raising ocean levels which would lead to the flooding of low-lying land along seacoasts. Entire islands may disappear, and many people may have to move to higher ground. It could also lead to climatic disasters and change the type of crops the farms would be able to grow.

Thats bigger than France and Spain in the last ten years. Rain forest timber like this is used on building sites, sometimes only once, and then thrown away. These doors were trees in Africa, our forest home, much of it chopped down illegally by international logging companies. Thousand-year-old trees in Canada are destroyed, just for stuff like this.

This text is an excerpt from Fish, L.S. Matthewss first book. The focus and simplicity of this tale make it appealing to a broad range of readers. Tiger narrates the book. It is never clear whether Tiger is a boy or a girl, which makes it easier for the reader to identify with Tiger, the child of humanitarian aid workers living in a country torn by famine and war. 42 Folder 3 A Warmer World

A lot of you asked about something lofty air travel. Specifically, how much do we contribute to green house gas emissions by flying? The experts say the answer is that aircraft are a small but significant source of the warming gases created by humans about 3% of the world total. Still, a typical airline flying across the US produces close to 3 tons of carbon dioxide per passenger. So is it better to drive? Im so glad you asked that because I have an answer right here from researchers at green guide. com. Their answer is no its not better to drive. Youll roughly double your emissions if you take the car. Ride a train, however, and you can cut your carbon footprint in half. *** What produces more green house gases: cooling a home or keeping it warm? Oh, Im glad you asked because we have an answer right here according to researchers at the National Geographic, The Green Guide. The answer is that Americans typically use more energy to heat their homes than to keep them cool. At least under the climate as it is right now. In colder parts of the country, experts say that staying warm accounts for up to two thirds of the energy used in a home. And heating a typical house can produce 5 or 6,000 pounds of CO2 a year. Of course CO2 is a major warming gas. It turns out no surprise in hotter areas the calculation changes. Air conditioners become the bigger energy users and can also produce about 6,000 pounds of CO2 a year.

1 A Blueprint for a Better World


Ce texte fait le portrait de la situation actuelle dans les diffrentes parties du monde et prsente les objectifs des Nations Unies pour aider le Tiers-monde, en particulier lAfrique, sortir de la misre. 1. The main goals set by the UN in 2000 are: halving extreme poverty and starvation, providing access to drinking water for all, halting the spread of AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by 2015. 2. Global poverty is declining but not in Africa, especially Sub-Saharan Africa. 3. China and India have evolved positively. 4. What is worrying is that Sub-Saharan Africa is getting poorer and poorer. Hunger, illiteracy, and disease are still plaguing the African continent. Inequality is increasing / is on the rise. Twelve million children die each year from poverty, famine and disease. One billion people in the world earn less than a dollar a day, and Africa spends more on debt repayment to the West than on basic education.

2 Non-Governmental Organizations
Ce texte rpond deux questions : quest-ce quune ONG et que font les ONG? 1. An NGO is a non-governmental organization, that is to say a private institution that is independent of the government. 2. NGOs address issues such as emergency aid or humanitarian affairs (they bring their support and help when disasters happen). They mobilize public support and voluntary contributions (they sensitize people to humanitarian disasters and collect money / raise funds); they often work in areas where government-togovernment aid is not possible (they help in places where diplomatic relations are so tense, not to say nonexistent, that governments cannot bring their help, send rescue teams or act to save the local population from genocides, wars, persecution). 3. Some NGOs probably refuse government funding to be free to do whatever they feel suitable and necessary. 4. The NGOs quoted are: Oxfam, Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF). Here are other examples of NGOS: the Red Cross, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Action Against Hunger, Greenpeace, World Learning, Women Leaders On Line, United Students Against Sweatshops, Peace Brigades International, WWF, Artisans du Monde, Mdecins du Monde, Cyclamed On pourra ventuellement demander aux lves de faire une recherche personnelle.

There are 1.2 billion poor people in the world. Half of them depend on natural resources like cocoa, coffee, cotton or rubber. Global trade of these products is estimated at 4.7$ billion annually. Yet, producers are poor because prices are too low. What can be done? One solution is fair trade. But some farmers have no fair trade organization where they live and the labels they need to put on their products are expensive. Another idea is to have several entrepreneurs bring their products to market when producers depend upon one entrepreneur to market their products, they dont get a fair price for their products. Farmers need special help in several domains. Of course, they first need to protect the natural sources they depend on. They must be taught how to do this, they need environment education. Then, they have to learn about marketing how to market their products well. For that, they need business education. It is our duty to provide this education if we want to eliminate poverty.

Hello my name is Bono, but you can relax Im not asking you for your money. I want here to talk to you about something that turned my life upside down. Around the world, 30,000 people are still dying of extreme, stupid poverty every day. Im talking about children losing their lives because of diarrhoea or because they havent had an injection that costs 25p. This means someone dying every 3 seconds. Click, thats someones mother, click, thats someones daughter, click, another one. Here is Khalki, beautiful, beautiful girl. Now her mothers no longer with us because she couldnt get the drugs that you and I could find at any chemists. Its an emergency. And this year is the best opportunity were gonna get to do something about it. World leaders are meeting in Scotland in July, the G8 and theyre gonna discuss debt cancellation, more and better aid. Theyre gonna discuss making trade rules fairer for everybody so that these people can earn their own way out of poverty. Its a real chance to do something not just for Khalki but for millions like her. What will our generation be remembered for? The Internet ? Yes, the war against terror? Yes, wouldnt it be great if we were also remembered as being the ones that set about making poverty history. Sometimes you cant make it on your own. Action Be a radio reporter

Mandela Against Poverty

On February the 4th, 2005, Nelson Mandela came and addressed over 22,000 people in Trafalgar Square on behalf of the Make Poverty History coalition. He gave a group of school children a white band which was delivered with thousands of others to the leaders of the G8. Le guidage de la comprhension est dans le Workbook.
Transcription

Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Millions of people in the worlds poorest countries are trapped in the prison of poverty. It is time to set them free. Poverty is not natural. It is man-made and can be overcome by the action of human beings. 50 Folder 4 Helping the World

The G8 leaders, when they meet in Scotland in July, have already promised to focus on the issue of poverty, especially in Africa. The steps that they must take are very clear: the first is ensuring trade justice; the second is an end to the debt crisis for the poorest countries; the third is to deliver much more aid and make sure it is of the highest quality. I say to all those leaders: do not look the other way; do not hesitate. Recognize that the world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage and vision. Let us work to make poverty history this year. And then we can all stand with our heads held high.

Manuel p. 62/63

CECR niveau B2 Reconnatre dans tout article de presse le point de vue de son auteur. Comprendre dans un texte narratif ce qui est dit des raisons des personnages et des consquences de leurs actes.

This text was found on http://www.data.org. DATA (Debt AIDS Trade Africa) was founded by U2 lead singer Bono and other activists in 2002 to eradicate poverty and AIDS in Africa. DATA calls on the governments of the wealthy nations to adopt new trade and aid policies that will help Africans get access to long-term prosperity and stability. They call on Africas leaders to strengthen democracy. In 2005, DATA and campaigners around the world helped persuade the G8 donor nations US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Italy and Japan to reach an agreement that included 25$ billion in development assistance for Africa by 2010, broad debt cancellation, universal access to education, near universal access to AIDS and malaria treatment and prevention. The aim was to save millions of lives and mark a turning point in the Wests relationship with Africa. DATA has worked closely with politicians, the media and celebrities. Through high-profile events and campaigns like Live 8 or Make Poverty History, DATA reaches millions of people in schools, shopping malls, business parks, football fields and churches.

COMPREHENSION
Before you read
1. The pictures illustrate life in Africa. 2. The woman is sewing so she may be a seamstress. She does not seem to be very poor unlike the little boy in

the other picture. We can say that the two pictures show two faces of Africa. Some Africans still live in dire poverty, in slums where they do not even have the bare necessities, whereas some others manage to improve their standards of living thanks to their ambition and their spirit of enterprise. 3. The title Microfinance for Africa probably refers to the micro loans Third World people, Africans here, can apply for to start businesses. A lot of women seem to take out such loans so that their families can make ends meet and can have better living conditions. 4. When you need money, you can borrow money from a bank : you take out a loan. The bank will lend you money in exchange for a percentage of this sum, the interest. Each month, you have to reimburse or pay back part of the sum of money: this is called an instalment.
Read the text
5. Grace Essel lives in Ashaiaman, Ghana, is married to Enoch, has two children aged four and six. She works as

a seamstress, has a stall with two walls but no roof. She has to buy fabric and other materials to make the clothes / clothing products she sells. She would like to get a proper store to lock and protect her goods at night. Her family had a poor standard of living but it is better now thanks to the money she makes. 6. A microfinance loan consists in NGOs lending small amounts of money (250 in Essels case) to poor people, especially women who pay back the money over a very short period (four months for Essel). 7. A trust group is a group of 15 to 35 women who borrow money. The advantages of a trust group are that the women borrow collectively, they co-guarantee to pay back, they offer support to each other and a safety net for those who would be unable to reimburse the money. 8. Grace could not have borrowed / she would not have been entitled to a loan from a commercial bank because she had no money or property (no asset) to guarantee the bank she would pay them back. As to borrowing money from a black market money lender, this was just impossible for her to do because the interest rate would have been far too high, so she would not have been able to reimburse the money. Selon le niveau de la classe, on pourra envisager dutiliser would have-en pour exprimer lventualit, lhypothse.

Folder 4 Helping the World 53

9. Grace says that her loan has helped (her) a lot. Indeed she declares that she can pay to send their

children to school and buy books and uniforms. Her income also helps the family to pay for health care when they need it. 10. Opportunity Internationals goal is to lift millions more out of poverty. They also hold weekly meetings which give them the opportunity to provide health education. On pourra envisager de rebrasser lexpression du but et de lintention. 11. It is a smart investment for donors because they get their money back quickly. They do not run any risks. This investment is profitable too. 12. Opportunity International may address women only because families cannot cope without a second breadwinner / a second income. The main reason may also lie in the fact that Opportunity International aims at providing health education and it is more useful to approach women than men because they are in charge of the children.

WORDS
1. 1 to 3: a. she joined a group of people.; b. she would have a safety net.; c. no insurance was available

A tremendous number of families have benefited from the loans; e. they have been able to improve their living conditions. 2. support borrow, take out a loan pay back, repay income money lender - purchase, buy save improve supply. 3. a. seamstress; b. assets; c. deny; d. stall; e. health care.

COMPO DICTO
Transcription

Graces job as a seamstress was not sufficient to support her family, send her children to school or pay for health care. With her neighbours, she formed a trust group and took out a loan from Opportunity International. She borrowed 250$ to buy fabric and other material to make her clothing products. She repaid the loan weekly over four months and was able to raise her income and improve her life conditions. Like Grace, hundreds of thousands of women benefit from microfinance across Africa.

TEXT FILE 2 Seeds of Hope

Manuel p. 66

CECR niveau B1 Lire des articles sur des questions contemporaines dans lesquels les auteurs adoptent un certain point de vue. 1. The man on the magazine front page is Bill Gates, the well-known multimillionaire Microsoft chairman. He is

holding a black baby and smiling.


2. The headline Billanthropy is a pun on the word Philanthropy (the act of donating money, goods, time, or

effort to support a charitable cause): the beginning of the word has been replaced by Bill Gatess name. The headline refers to Bill Gatess commitment to the fight against hunger, poverty and AIDS in Africa. He said his long term vision was to improve the lives of millions of people across the globe. 3. Every year, Africas farms yield fewer and fewer crops. 4. They are charities whose aim is to fight hunger in Africa by boosting / improving and developing farming methods on the continent. 5. The AGRA is a program that aims to help researchers find and develop new varieties of crops that can grow in Africa. From these they will get seeds for the farmers to grow. They expect that, in the long run, farmers will not only meet their own needs but will be able to sell some of their crops. They also hope that children will spend fewer hours in the fields and will be able to go to school / devote more time to their schooling. 6. Between 1960 and 1984 food production doubled in Asia and Latin America thanks to a green revolution. 7. The main difficulty they will have to solve is that growing conditions are very different across the African continent and they have to find several crops to revolutionize African agriculture. 8. The Gates and Rockefeller Foundations have started by planting a small seed of hope that is to say a reason to think that the future will be better / that a brighter future lies ahead. Here there is also a play on words as the Gates Foundation provides the farmers with seeds or small plants. The seeds will grow into crops that will feed the population and eradicate poverty and starvation. 9. They must have been horrified by the pictures and the scenes they witnessed. They know that Africa is the only continent where there is no visible progress and where misery endures. They know that it is the challenge of the 21st century. They probably dream of a world in which the gap between the rich and the poor has been bridged and feel it their duty to reduce the gap between the way that we live and the way that the people of the developing world live.

He exploded into rage. And look at your floors. How long since they were swept? Speak up. Stand up when you speak to me. 9. The inspector feels ashamed and guilty because the school has not received anything for three years and he has not done his duty. He doesnt visit schools out of town because he does not want to face the poverty and destitution of some areas. We may think that the system is corrupt and that he can be partly held responsible for the state some schools are in. We could also think he is a weak man and he flies into a temper because he feels helpless, he is at a loss what to do to improve the schools situation and wants to conceal his powerlessness.

Manuel p. 72/73

Everyone thought that, after the end of the Cold War, the need for the USA and Soviet Union to spy on each other would end. However, espionage has never ended it has just evolved. Today, terrorism and the globalisation of the drug trade mean espionage is needed more than ever. TV programs like Spooks and films like The Bourne Identity have made being a spy even more glamorous than it ever used to be. M16 and the CIA are inundated with requests to join. Our blog goes back over the history of spying and touches upon its future. We even show you what you need to do to become a spy.

1 Intelligence Agencies
1. The Cold War was a time of conflict after World War II between the US and the Soviet Union. They were both

spying on each other to decide upon foreign policy. It was called the Cold War because the two countries didnt speak to each other. Their relationship was cold. 2. Renseignements is the French for intelligence. 3. The Intelligence Community is a group of agencies including the CIA that the US government uses in decision making in foreign policy. 4. Today the secret services work to infiltrate terrorist cells and uncover terrorist plots.

2 Want to Become A Secret Agent?


1. Some people dream of being spies because it is a good way to travel, have adventures and meet superb

exotic girls. You are also helping your country.


2. You cannot be recruited unless you are prepared to be spied on, are under 35, are American and married to a

US citizen. all CIA officers serve as spies. Some are economists, foreign policy experts, researchers and psychologists. 4. The pros are: it is exciting work, you can travel abroad, you serve your country, and you have long holidays and a good pension. The cons are: it is dangerous and you might get killed. The pay is not good and you cant talk to anyone about your job.

Spies have always existed and they all seem to have come to a bad end at least those that were discovered! Lets go back to the 18th Century. Benedict Arnold was an American Revolutionary General, fighting against the British. Because he was not promoted, he was devastated. He betrayed the American revolutionary forces in exchange for money and a British commission. After joining the British service, he led two savage raids against Virginia and New London, Connecticut. He was convicted and exiled in England and Canada. In 1953 it was the Cold War then Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, two communist leaders, were convicted with passing on nuclear weapon secrets to the Soviet Union. They had got this information from Ethels brother, who worked on the atomic bomb project at Los Alamos, New Mexico. They were executed. The most shocking of all was the case of Aldrich Ames. He was a CIA counterintelligence official for 31 years. His mission was to uncover Soviet spies. But he became a spy for the Soviet Union and sold out American operatives. Ames was arrested in 1994 and sentenced to life in prison. In the same period, twelve double agents were executed within the Soviet Union because of their betrayal. There are and always have been traitors on all sides! Action Make a poster

Welcome to Precrime Headquarters

This is an extract from Minority Report, a science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Philip K. Dicks short story of the same name. It is set in Washington, D.C. in the year 2054, where a special police department called Precrime apprehends criminals based on foreknowledge, provided by three psychics termed Precogs. The film stars Tom Cruise and was won several awards.

BEFORE YOU LISTEN


1. Because of the prefix pre-, which means before, the word Precrime probably means before crime.

The word Welcome, together with the photo that shows tourists looking at a collection of firearms, seems to imply that a group of tourists is visiting Precrime headquarters. 2. This agency could be something like the FBI, an investigation agency that looks into precrime. 3. We are going to hear a story that takes place in the future. Perhaps it is science fiction.

(From The Company by Robert Littell.) Robert Littell was born in New York in 1935. He gleaned a great deal of information about espionage whilst working for Newsweek in Europe at the height of the Cold War. This was a tense time and his storytelling is based on real facts he uncovered thanks to his curious nature and valuable contacts within the modern intelligence community. Littell is a legendary figure among his peers, and a master of the Cold War thriller. The Company is a riveting novel mole hunt involving such rivals and allies as the MI6, KGB, and Mossad. The Company tells a thrilling story of agents imprisoned in an engrossing, multigenerational, wickedly nostalgic yet utterly candid saga, bringing to life over 40 years of the CIA, the Company to insiders. A really good read!

COMPREHENSION

1. In the photo we can see Mujaheddin they are probably in Afghanistan judging from the arid mountains we

can see in the background. They are armed and very dangerous.
2. Judging from the title and photo, the story might be about hostages taken by terrorists in a country like

Afghanistan. Many of these terrorists take hostages from the West to help in their negotiations.

3. The sentences show that Anthony and Maria have been captured by the Mujaheddin. Anthony is a CIA officer. 4. Ibrahim is a terrorist probably from Afghanistan. Anthony and Maria are American hostages. 5. Maria is a journalist who has probably come to cover the war in Afghanistan and Anthony is working

undercover in Afghanistan for the CIA.

running water. The conditions are very rough. There is no proper toilet or privacy.

Folder 5 Espionage and Intelligence 65

7. This indicates that the interrogation could be horribly painful to make the hostages tell the truth about

themselves.
8. Anthony is shaken by the thought of the interrogation. He wondered how much pain he could stand before

he cracked.
9. Maria has a tough exterior and is a feisty female journalist who can hold her own. 10. Maria was probably writing an article about the Mujaheddin and Anthony was trying to find out about

terrorists.

A female journalist and a CIA officer have been taken prisoner in Afghanistan. Some Mujaheddins want to exchange them for American missiles. After a long hard journey, they have just arrived at the place where they are to be detained. Maria has always proved very strong but now, she is exhausted and pessimistic.

TEXT FILE 2 Couple Spent Years at CIA

Manuel p. 80

This is an article about a lecture that was sponsored by the School of Business and the Intelligence Awareness Organization, a student organization on the University of Miami campus whose stated mission is the discussion and education of intelligence gathering and espionage. Is this a good way to recruit new spies? See what your students think. 1. The person in the photograph could be a photographer for a newspaper. But it is night and he has professional equipment. Judging from the title of the folder he is probably a spy. 2. The two ex-spies are Tony and Jonna Mendez. They worked for the CIA for 30 years. Tony invented incredible rescue plans and Joanna trained officers on how to disguise themselves. 3. To go unnoticed you have to forget some of your common American habits, like the way you smoke or eat. You mustnt slouch and you must wear local clothing. 4. Their craziest plan was rescuing six US diplomats from Iran during a 444-day hostage crisis. They pretended to be a Hollywood film scouting party. 5. To be a good spy you need to be an expert in disguising yourself, in blending in with your surroundings and in keeping a secret. You have to be good at solving problems and speaking languages. 6. Spies cannot reveal any information about themselves in case they are caught. 7. There is no real academic training but you must have language skills and have a knack for logic and problem solving, and a passion for the job and your country. 8. They understood both the exciting and tedious sides to the job of being a spy. 9. This is a free question for the student but for example they could say: I was surprised to find out the job could be so boring. Action Invent a gadget

Valerie Plame, the CIA agent at the centre of a White House scandal spoke out for the first time. Plame talks about the sensitive nature of her work. She says a classified ad led her to the CIA right out of college. Plame The ad said things like serve your country, and have you travelled abroad and do you speak any foreign languages? Narrator At The Farm, the CIAs training camp in rural Virginia, she learnt how to recruit foreign agents, or assets, the actual spies. Plame Yes, I am a spy but within the agency, we would never call ourselves spies. We are the spy masters, if you will, the operations officers, we are the ones who are directing Interviewer What are some of the risks for the agents you recruit? Plame Oh, in the most extreme case, its their life of course. And that is the real damage. Interviewer When Valerie Plames identity was published in a newspaper column four years ago, she was an undercover agent for the CIA. And when an investigation traced the leak of her name all the way to the White House, it became apparent that this was no ordinary spy story. Her cover was blown after her husband, a former ambassador named Joe Wilson, criticized the White House about the Irak war. Narrator We met the most famous spy in America in Santa Fe New Mexico, where she moved with her family. In fact, she spent 20 years at the CIA rising to top level positions. Her assignments took her all over the world where she gathered information, recruited spies and worked for many years deep under cover. In 1998 she was working at headquarters spying for the newest CIA division, Proliferation. Plame Our mission was to make sure that the bad guys did not get nuclear weapons. Interviewer You believe your name being public will have a chilling effect on the ability to recruit other agents? Plame Indeed. That is the true damage done by this affair.

Petite Anglaise

Since we interviewed Catherine for our Sound File she has become a real star in the UK and USA. She has been heard on every BBC radio station promoting her book, Petite Anglaise. It was recently serialized in The Sunday Times. 1. One can see on the blog page that Catherine lives in Paris. She is an expat (short for expatriate). 2. People write about blogs about all kinds of subjects. Everything depends on what they are interested in. We can guess that Catherine talks about her life in Paris; she probably mentions what she likes and dislikes about the way Parisians live. 3. Blogs are probably becoming more and more popular because people need to communicate with people. More and more people have access to the Internet and they realize that the possibilities are infinite. People tend to get interested in personal reactions and positions on what is going on.

NOW LISTEN
Comprehension Transcription J So, Catherine, thank you for speaking to us. Now I get the feeling that the Internet has completely changed your life, Catherine. Is that right? K Absolutely. Yes. I started writing a blog back in 2004, and since then, I Ive met a man through my blog, so its changed my relationships, Ive changed career completely from being a secretary, now, to being a writer full-time, with a book coming out So it has its changed every single aspect of my life, I think. *** J Why did you start a blog? Why did you think Oh, my life is interesting for everybody in the world? K I started by reading a few other blogs, and realizing that you dont have to have some amazing lifestyle to be interesting you just have to write about it in a way which is funny or interesting, so that people want to read it. When I started, it was mainly because I was working as a secretary, so I had a computer in front of me every day. I had a young child at home, so I was often at home in the evenings. Again, with a computer. And so it seemed like a hobby which would give me something to do when I was bored, at home or at work, and its writing was something which I hadnt done for a very, very long time since I was at school but which I remembered enjoying and I thought that the thing about my life which might be interesting to other people would be the the fact that I lived in Paris, and that so many English or American people dream about living in Paris. So I started writing the diary of an ex-pat, you know, about life in Paris as seen through the eyes of an English girl. *** J And when did you realize that people were reading your blog? K When you have a blog, you can track who is actually reading it, so you can see how many readers you have. And so I saw it growing steadily over the first couple of years, and I could see that lots of other people who wrote blogs were putting a link back to my blog, and it got mentioned in a couple of newspapers, so I could see that I could see that people were interested in it, and when I started writing more personal things not just about how I saw Paris, but about my own life, my relationship, my work, my daughter

3. Sergey Brin and Larry Page are visiting a crowd of young people, probably in a university. 4. Sergey Brin and Larry Page studied at Stanford University. They invented Google when

they were PhD students in computer science. 5. A heroes welcome involves roars and excitement. 6. Their project started as a student project, when they wanted to download the entire Web onto their computers. 7. Their invention is compared to several great inventions in the past, inventions which have changed something in peoples lives, like the electricity or the telephone. The big difference is that their invention was meteoric compared to the others which took years of research. 8. We can say that Google is a revolution because it brings free instant access to information. 9. Brin and Page are fundamentally optimistic. They are hard-working, ambitious young men. They enjoy the hearty welcome. They are dressed casually and behave like normal young men. Probably their aim is to give young students a desire to start projects, as they did, and to believe in the endless possibilities of the future. 10. Thanks to their crazy optimism, they have contributed to changing the world.

Will we just become one big McWorld? We have tried to show the history of global trade in this blog, because yes, global trade has always existed. Perhaps it is on a bigger scale today than it used to be, but surely that can be put down to a more interdependent world. As with all movements there is always a counter movement that pops up and this time Fair Trade is trying to show us the right way forward.

1 A World of Traders
1. International trade is the exchange of goods and services across international nations. 2. The four steps that have so affected global trade are: ancient times (camel caravans), the 19th century

(the postal service), the twnetieth century (the telegraph and telephone), and today (the Internet).

Fair trade certification guarantees that the farmers get the best prices. It assures that the farmers work in safe conditions and it does not involve child labour. 3.

Global trade Lots of people seem to think it means that the world is turning into some consumer colony of America. Coke, CNN, McDonalds, Levis, Nike if they havent taken over the world yet, they think, they will soon. (Strange! Ive never heard of anyone who buys Sony believing that its part of a plan to turn the world into Japan.) Whether we like it or not, much of the worlds economy has become increasingly integrated in the last thirty years. The total value of world exports has risen dramatically from 2$ trillion in 1980 to 5$ trillion in 1995 and up to over 12$ trillion in 2006. Not everyone is happy. How people feel about this depends on where they live and how much money they have. Some people believe that a sort of cultural cloning will result from the development of McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Disney or Nike. These critics are convinced that Westernoften understood as American influences will produce one big McWorld.

Union Sundown is on Dylans album, Infidels, his 22nd studio album, released in 1983 by Columbia Records. Infidels gained much attention for its focus on more personal themes of love and loss, in addition to commentary on the environment and geopolitics. It is another political protest against lowest bidding sweatshops overseas. He not only attacks the hypocrisy of Americans who complain about the lack of American jobs while not paying more for American-made goods, but also the Unions who are more concerned about their own interests than improving the lot of American workers generally. He refers to them as dinosaurs who are unable to adapt to the modern world.

Just Do It Son

Reportage sur Nike en Indonsie.

Nike makes most of their shoes in Indonesia, using teenage girls and paying them less than 40 cents an hour. The company has the backing of Indonesias brutal military regime which has just committed genocide in East Timor. Nike makes no shoes in America. I couldnt believe the chairman of Nike was granting me a visit.

Basically, youve got, you know, an underdeveloped country with a repressive regime and the way they pull themselves out of this thing is by having I think trade helps.

Phil Knight qui boit. Thats a separate discussion from an American company going into Gros plan sur son visage. Indonesia and working with a regime that killed 200,000 people! Thats almost a form of genocide. I know that thats got to bother you, I dont know you personally, but I know you have a conscience. Well, I certainly wouldnt approve of any of that sort of thing, but basically, I mean, how many people were killed in the Cultural Revolution? Mr Moore. Phil Knight la main sur le cur. I simply have a basic belief, having been burnt out once, and I really believe in this very strongly that Americans do not want to make shoes. They dont want to make shoes. Film-maker Michael Moore is urging the worlds largest athletic shoe company to open a factory. A factory in Flint.

We fell in love with this text from a book by Pietra Rivoli who writes in an easy-to-understand, engaging way. We were struck by the fairness of the author who denounces both the wild accusations against globalization and the dangers engendered by not paying attention to how we globalize. The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy takes the reader on a fascinating, around-the-world journey to reveal the economic and political lessons from the life story of a simple product in a highly competitive global marketplace. Over a five-year period, business professor Pietra Rivoli travelled from a Texas cotton field to a Chinese factory. She looks closely at the lives of Texas cotton farmers, Chinese textile producers, and uses her T-shirt to illustrate crucial lessons in the globalization debate. This important narrative reveals surprising secrets of success in world markets and its price for individuals and communities around the world. It is perfect for showing our students the two sides to the debate.

COMPREHENSION
Before you read
1. The photos show cheap T-shirts and the women who make them in China or another Asian country. These

women are badly paid.


2. We are probably going to find out how our T-shirts were made: who made them, where they were made and

how much they cost in the shops.


Read the text
3. The story says that perhaps it was made in Vietnam or India by a young girl who was paid nothing and who

lives in very bad conditions.


4. Students think globalization is the fault of the bad guys who treat workers badly around the world. 5. The young woman is giving a speech on globalization and wants to tell people how bad it is. 6. Pietra Rivoli travelled round the world to see if what the woman was saying was true or not.

COMPO DICTO
Transcription

Pietra Rivoli reports she witnessed demonstrations of anti-globalization activists on her campus. She decided to investigate to test the validity of their arguments and to make up her own mind. She found out that both globalizers and anti-globalization activists are right. Indeed, thanks to globalization some countries have improved their economic situation. But some others still remain poor. She also says that, in fast-growing countries, prosperity does not concern the whole population. ACTION Speak out in a demonstration

The final reason is the increasing consumption in fast developing countries like China and India. 7. Jonathan Watts focuses on China. 8. The rise in the prices of vegetables and grains is around 30%. 9. The rise in the price of pork is around 50%. 10. Some of the poorest farmers feel happy about the rise in prices because they get more money for their

crops.
11. When there are reduced prices in supermarkets, there can be disturbances. 12. Three customers were killed in a crush. Transcription Interviewer In the past year, there has been a sharp rise in the cost of wheat, rice, corn, soya and dairy

products. As a result, we have seen protests in Italy about the price of pasta; in Mexico its tortillas and in India its onions. Jonathan Watts is in Beijing for the Guardian and hes been speaking to one of the worlds leading agricultural researchers about the forces pushing up food prices. Jonathan Watts He identified what he described as a perfect storm a number of factors that have all come together. The first one is global warming, which is affecting crop yields across the planet. The second one is the increase in uses of bio fuels which means that agricultural products like maize are now in competition with fuel and the prices are driven by fuel prices and the final one is that consumption in fastdeveloping countries like China and India is increasing very fast and putting demand pressures on prices. Interviewer John, you are in Beijing. Whats been the impact of rising food prices in China? Jonathan Watts Over all, I think there is some unease that is adding to inflation. The price rises of vegetables and grains and some other foods is around 30% and in the case of some items like pork which is, you know, the most important meat here, its closer to 50%. And some of the poorest of the poor, some of the farmers in the countryside are not too unhappy because it means that they get more money for their crops. When people feel that the prices have gone too high weve seen two big disturbances caused by supermarkets offering half price vegetable oil. It sounds quite funny but in one of the stampedes it was anything but that when 3 people were killed in the crush.

7. Recap. Transcription

Until recently, if Americans heard the words brain drain, they knew what that meant: bright, talented scientists or engineers from all over the world were migrating to the United States. They were attracted by the worlds best universities, the most dynamic companies, the freest economy and the highest standard of living. That is changing. Hundreds of young talented Indians are leaving Silicon Valley for India, hoping to make a fortune there. They are going home, attracted by the surging Indian economy and technology industry. As many as 35,000 technology professionals moved back to India in 2006. Bangalore, Hyderabad and the suburbs of Delhi are becoming magnets for a number of Indians. With their Western-style work environment, generous salaries and quick career opportunities, these cities offer the returnees what they had in Los Angeles or Boston. Most returnees are first-generation expatriates, but second-generation Indians living in the US are also returning. They like the idea that they are going to help make their home country a country to be proud of. They also appreciate being able to raise their children in Indian culture and care for their aging parents. Action Draw a timeline

torn between two cultures, Indian customs * Sikhism, founded in fifteenth century Northern India, is the fifth largest religion in the world. Sikhism originated from the word Sikh, which comes from a Sanskrit root meaning disciple or instruction. Sikhism advocates the pursuit of salvation through disciplined, personal meditation. Sikhs number over 23 million across the world. Most Sikhs live in the state of Punjab in India. Sikhs are bound to wear the Five Ks (articles of faith) at all times. The 5 items are: uncut hair, a small comb, a circular heavy metal bracelet, a ceremonial short sword, and special undergarment.

Comprehension Transcription Judy Tell our listeners about yourself. You are sitting there in a lovely blue turban, dressed in jeans but where are you from? Sardool Im from Derby originally, which is near Nottingham in the Midlands. My father is from Lahore which is now Pakistan and my mother was from Rajasthan which is towards the north of India. *** Judy Do you feel that you are Pakistani or do you feel that you are English? Sardool Thats a very good question. I feel that I am me!! Im in this culture with so many different identities and cultures around me so its impossible to categorize myself. What I am by religion is a Sikh. Judy Thats why you have your turban on, isnt it? Sardool Thats why I have my turban on and I have this look! Judy And you went to art school didnt you in England? Sardool Well the only Asian of course I mean most Asians do medicine, business, computers, IT. Judy Now coming from a traditional Sikh family I believe the marriages are arranged arent they? *** Sardool Sikh families yes they are arranged - most marriages but now arrange is not the right word to use. You get introduced and you start to see each other - if you take off, you take off if you dont, you dont. However, there are some families where its not as easy as that. Some families are more strict than others. Judy So what happened to you? You got married? Sardool I got married. I got forced into the corner and they said, what do you think weve come all the way here and its time to speak. Judy All the way where? Sardool All the way from UK to India. Judy They took you to India? Sardool For five days Judy To find a lady? Sardool Under the condition that I dont need to say yes or no its just a flying visit. *** But when I got there got to the girls house, it was a different story. Because once youd had a cup of tea from the girls house, once you had a biscuit from the girls house, youve bought yourself into them. Judy With a biscuit? I gave you two biscuits before. Sardool In their territory, the pressure comes on quite drastically and, from there, its about yes or no. You just took a biscuit from my plate youve come to see my daughter all the way from the UK you must be serious. So from there things got heavy!

Roisin et Rukhsana dans un bar.

Roisin, you must be wondering why Ive asked to well, Ive come to see you, I suppose. You must think its very odd Basically I feel that I had to talk to you because of whats going on just now with my family. Cassims left home and hes living with you and as far as my family is concerned, and my community is concerned, that has brought a great deal of shame on all of us. You see, we have this concept called izzat which I guess is family honor and thats really important to people, and my parents have very, very hard worked all their life to maintain that, to keep that, and theyve built up respect and trust in the community, and what Cassim has done has basically taken that away. And not only that I dont know if then Cassim told you but I met Amar through my family and we got on rather well, our families got on rather well, were very fond of each other. In the short time that weve known each other, we feel very strongly and we both want to get married. And because of what Cassims done, his mother phoned up and cancelled the wedding. I love your brother and Why cant you accept that? Cant you understand what is going on? Cant you understand that because of your love, theres so many peoples lives that are being destroyed?

TEXT FILE 1 Jasmine

Manuel p. 118/119

Erratum : p. 118, question 9 : answer to question 8 (et non 5). Bharati Mukherjee was born on July 27, 1940 to wealthy parents. At the age of eight, she moved to Britain with her family and lived in Europe for three and a half years. By the age of ten, she had already written numerous short stories. After getting her B.A. and her M.A. in English and Ancient Indian Culture from the University of Baroda in 1961, she came to the USA. While studying at the University of Iowa, she married a Canadian student from Harvard, Clark Blaise, on September 19, 1963. Mukherjee has taught all over the United States and Canada. Currently she is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. The novel Born in India, Jyoti is the most beautiful and clever girl in the family. Her life is controlled by her father and brothers. But, in spite of traditions, Jyoti seeks a modern and educated husband and finds a US based modern-thinking man, Prakash, who gives Jyoti a new name, Jasmine, and a new life. Jasmines happiness is short-lived: she is widowed and returns to India to her family. She now has to choose between the rigid traditions of her family, or continue to live the life of Jasmine in America. She sets off on an agonizing trip and thus begins her trip of transformations, displacement, and search for identity. Jasmines journey is a tale of moral courage, a search for self-awareness and self-assertion.

COMPREHENSION
Before you read
1. The scene may take place in the UK or in the USA because of the houses and the model in the sari shop. 2. Some women are dressed Western style. One woman is wearing a sari which may mean that the text is about

Indian and Western women, about heir habits and ways of life or lifestyles. We can wonder if they get on well (as it seems to be the case in one of the pictures) or if they live in different worlds. Le professeur mettra au tableau les propositions des lves et ne prendra pas position si elles divergent. Il renverra ensuite les lves lintroduction en faisant bien apparatre les points de divergence pour quils tranchent. 3. I would feel lost, disorientated and sad. I would probably miss my family, my friends and what I am used to (food, customs, way of life, favourite music or literature, hobbies). I might feel happy to be away from my home country and their attitude to widows. Perhaps I would feel less unhappy after my husbands death because of my new surroundings and the attractiveness of life in New York.
Read the text
5. There are four adults in the Vadhera family: Nirmala, Professorji and Professorjis parents. They apparently

come from India, Punjab in particular, and they speak Punjabi at home. They live in Flushing, a New York district, in an apartment that is not very big since Jasmine has to sleep in the living room. Their flat is in a building of 50 apartments. They find everything they need in their neighbourhood. 98 Folder 8 Asians Uprooted

6. Nirmala and Professorji work all day whereas their parents seem to stay at home and have a nap in the

afternoons. They have a big dinner together in the evenings (line 3) and watch Hindi films on the VCR after dinner, from around nine till midnight (lines 2/3). They do not watch American television except on Saturday mornings when the Indian shows are on (line 8). They never go out at night because they feel it would be a waste of money (lines 19/20). There is no need for them to go into town since they can get everything they need including food, films, papers and magazines (lines 21/22/23). Nirmala, who works in a sari store, brings Jasmine saris because Professorjis parents would be offended if Jasmine wore American Tshirts (they cant stand Jasmine dressing like Americans), which shows they are very traditional. On Sundays they visit their friends in the same building and spend their time eating, talking (lines 30/31) and watching videos. They are helped by a servant they pay in kind (they give her food and saris line 24). Le professeur pourra faire ractiver le lexique vu dans le folder 2 et faire utiliser lexpression de linutilit et des dislikes. 7. When Jasmine says: I felt the Vadheras lived behind ghetto walls she means that although they live in the States they do not mix with American people and form a close community that is cut off from the world around. They stick together. Theres so much English out there, why do we have to have it in here? which shows they refuse to integrate, they are not curious or interested in the world outside their block. Le professeur pourra introduire ou faire rebrasser un certain nombre de fonctions langagires telles : linutilit, le dgot, la dsapprobation, la concession (voir lexercice du Grammar File, folder 10 page 148), lopposition (voir lexercice du Grammar File, folder 2 page 36). 8. Jasmine does not agree with them / does not approve of the way they live. She says I wanted to distance myself from everything Indian. (lines 17/18) 9. Jasmine also writes I felt my English was deserting me, I could not admit that I had accustomed myself to American clothes in a T-shirt and cords, I was intrigued by the city and the land beyond the rivers. On the contrary, the Vadheras do not want to leave their block, to speak English, to break their habits, to dress the American way. 10. Jasmines life seems to be boring, secluded and to follow strict rules. As a widow she is not allowed to take part in some things. (line 32) 11. Rponses personnelles.

COMPO DICTO
Transcription

The Vadheras and their neighbours lived in a very Indian district. On the block, there were stores selling Indian food, saris and Punjabi newspapers. The family watched Hindi films on the VCR. Jasmine had to wear saris so she wouldnt offend the old people. But, in fact, she had accustomed herself to American clothes and was very happy when she was taken for a student. She was intrigued by America and wanted to distance herself from everything Indian.

The novel by Narinder Dhami, Bend it like Beckham, is based on the original screenplay of the film. Narinder Dhami says she wanted to write the book because it mirrors the struggle many young Asians face, trying to live their lives caught between two cultures. Its also a very personal story about one girls determination to follow her dream. The scene is set in England. Jess loves football, which clashes with her conservative Indian culture. One day she joins an all-girl football team without telling her parents. Eventually, the grand final is Jesss sisters wedding day, when her father lets her play and she gets spotted by a talent scout. 1. The girls are football players. One of them is Asian. 2. Jesss little secret is that she plays football but hasnt told her parents. 3. She hides this from her parents because Indian girls arent supposed to play football. 4. Mel thinks they have backward ideas and that Indian marriages are always arranged. 5. Thats a bit backward, innit? (line 10) So, are you like, promised to someone, then? (lines 13/14). 6. Jess says that being backward is not just an Indian thing (Yeah, but it aint just an Indian thing, is it?). She admits that her culture is different (Its just my culture, thats all.), and finally she adds that marrying a boy in your community (a boy your parents agree on) is better than sleeping around with boys youre not going to end up marrying. 7. Jess is likely to marry an Indian boy because she says White, no. Black, definitely no, Muslim Indian parents want their daughters to marry within the community. 8. Jess and her family probably think that British girls are easy girls who have sex with a lot of boys before getting married. To them they have loose morals. 9. This text shows that people have prejudices, whatever their ethnic group. Although these girls play football together they do not know each others cultures very well and they stick to their prejudices, to the stereotypes that are conveyed by their parents or society at large.

Monica Ali (born October 20, 1967) is a British writer of Bangladeshi origin. She is the author of Brick Lane, her debut novel, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2003. Brick Lane was named after the street at the heart of Londons Bangladeshi community. It tells about the life of Nazneen, a Bangladeshi woman who moves to Tower Hamlets in London in the 1980s, at the age of 18, leaving her beloved sister and home behind, for an arranged marriage and a new life. She feels trapped within the four walls of her flat in East London, and in a loveless marriage with middle-aged Chanu. Her sister, Hasina, continues to live a carefree life in Bangladesh. Nazneen struggles to accept her lifestyle, but she soon discovers that life cannot be avoided and is forced to confront it the day that the hotheaded young Karim comes knocking at her door. 1. When Chanus family decided to leave England in the early 2000s, he wanted to take them to see the sights in London. They went on a bus with a packed lunch.

Chanu is an immigrant to England. b. Apparently, Chanu wants to visit London because he has lived there for years and never visited it. c. The best title for this text is A Day Out in London. 3. a.

Nazneen: supportive / caring. c. The conductor: uncooperative / embarrassed. 5. a. Chanu is probably about 60 years old. Line 1, Thirty or so years after he arrived in London and line 13, Ive spent more than half my life here. b. Chanu would like to ask a Londoners viewpoint. Line33/34, To your mind, does the British Museum rate more highly than the National Gallery? Or would you recommend gallery over museum? c. Nazneen wanted to please Chanu. Lines 27/28, Nazneen decided she would make this day unlike any other. She would not allow this day to disappoint him. 6. a. struggling: working hard; b. bother: make an effort; c. hum: sing softly; d. fares: ticket money; e. rating: evaluation; f. local: inhabitant from the neighbourhood.

1 A Short History of Fast Food

Manuel p. 128/129

In this text, we show how McDonalds started and how they have survived by adapting to local tastes and respecting government demands to respect health criteria. It is easy to criticize McDonalds, but surely most companies would like to expand so successfully. 1. hamburgers, hot dog, restaurant, fast food, drive-throughs, vending machines, franchise outlets, cafeterias. 2. Doey Ingram: the founder of White Castle hamburger restaurant. California: a state in the USA. McDonald: the name of the brothers who founded the most famous of all fast food restaurants. Ray Kroc: the person who brought automation to the fast food industry. Henry Ford: the founder of Ford automobiles. McDonalds: the name of fast food restaurants. 3. Henry Ford is quoted in this text because he revolutionized the automobile industry with automated chain production and this was copied by Ray Kroc. 4. propret cleanliness vaisselle china stendre spread distributeur vending machine magasins outlets.

2 One World, One Taste


1. One world, One taste, was an advertising slogan used by McDonalds. Here it implies that the whole world

will be eating the same food.


2. McDonalds fast food restaurants have spread all over the world and are now growing especially fast in

developing countries affecting both consumers and producers lives.


3. People buy fast food because its cheap, quick and heavily promoted. 4. Healthwise, fast food is one reason for obesity. Fast food has also changed farming practices as farmers

have to grow uniform fields of crops. There is less diversity.

1. The most popular dish now in the UK is chicken-tikka-masala and curry. 2. Traditional English dishes are fishn chips, roast beef, steak and kidney pie. 3.

The McCalabresa is inspired by popular Brazilian street food. 10. McDonalds has understood the importance of adapting to local tastes. Transcription Lecturer What is the most popular dish in the UK? Students Fishn chips? Roast beef? Steak and kidney pie? Lecturer No, no, no! Its chicken-tikka-masala and curry. Students But they are Indian dishes! Lecturer Yes they are or were, originally. But the British taste for Indian food started in the 16th century

when the British went looking for spices. The first curry house in Britain opened in London in 1809. Today, with more and more Indian immigrants, there are about 10,000 Indian restaurants in the UK. Recently, the British army even replaced its traditional steak-and-kidney-pie lunch with chicken-tikka-masala! Immigrants have brought their own food with them and adapted it to local tastes they have made it glocal both global 106 Folder 9 Food Trends

and local. The concept of glocal food has also been adopted by global chains like McDonalds. In India, McDonalds menu includes: a McVeggie, a McAloo Tikki, and a Veg McCurry Pan.

Canada, the USA and Argentina. So where does the GM debate stand at the moment? Tim Herst is BBC radios environment correspondent and he joins us. Tim, we have no GM crops at all being grown in the UK. Is this a direct result of public hostility? Tim Herst No, there are some who continue to see GM crops as the future and I think maybe the thing to point out there is that what has been tried out in this country so far is the first generation of genetically modified crops, all of which were simply altered to make them resistant to particular types of herbicide particular types of weed killer. Now the next generation where you are looking perhaps at adding nutritional values to crops making them drought resistant there is a prospect that they may become more attractive to farmers and possibly in some cases be more acceptable to consumers if they perceive there are more benefits. *** Journalist Professor Vivian Moses is emeritus professor of microbiology at the Queen Mary University of London. Professor Moses, you believe GM is a useful and safe technology. Why are you convinced its safe when so many people say that it hasnt been adequately tested? Prof Moses Well, I am a scientist and as a scientist therefore I have to work on evidence. The evidence we have for GM foods is that we know that they have been consumed by hundreds of millions of people for more

than ten years and there hasnt been a single recorded case of any health effect whatsoever. Now, thats not bad. *** Journalist Also with us is Michael Meetcher, MP and former environment minister. Michael Meetcher, with 80 million acres of GM crops or hectares sorry of GM crops being grown worldwide isnt it inevitable that the UK will have to accept this technology to remain competitive? Michael Meetcher Absolutely not if people dont want it. People want safe food and, despite what Professor Moses said, there has been no testing It is a risky and potentially dangerous technology. Why are they not tested? The reason they are not tested is because the biotech companies persuaded the US that they were substantially equivalent to ordinary food. They are clearly not.

These are dark times, young Cuke. What do you mean, Obi-Wan Canoli? For over 1,000 generations, organic food like us lived in harmony with the ways of the farm. The Farm? Yes, Cuke. The Farm is what gives us our power. Its a kind of field that creates all edible things. Waou! But alas, the market has been taken over by the dark side of the farm. An empire of pollution and pesticides has ruthlessly conquered the market, nearly wiping out our organic birth right with unsustainable short-sighted practices like genetic engineering, irradiation, and massive chemical pesticide use. Seduced by artificially lower prices, people dont even want to know where their food comes from. The true ways of the farm are now almost forgotten.

He also takes a look at the effects on the environment and the highly topical issue of obesity. Meticulously researched, lively and informative, with first-hand accounts and quotes from children and young people, Eric Schlosser presents the facts in such a way that allows readers to make up their own minds about the incredible fast food phenomenon. It is aimed for young and old readers.

Transcription

Going into a fast food restaurant, placing our order, paying for our meal and leaving with a tray covered with food has become so routine that we take it for granted. Every day, about one out of fourteen Americans eats at McDonalds. It has become the most popular and powerful fast-food chain in the world. Most customers do not plan to eat there, but when they see the Golden Arches, they just cant resist the impulse.

TEXT FILE 2 Whole Foods

Manuel p. 136

Whole Foods is the 2.85bn organic American superstore whose famous slogan is Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet. It has recently opened its first European outlet in London, and judging by the crowds, it could be as big in Britain as in the States. Mike Adams has a rather amusing point of view on buying organic and spending so much money on something we are not sure is worthwhile! This can apply to all of us all over the world not just in the USA. 1. Whole Foods is a chain of stores that sells health food. 2. Adjectives qualifying the type of food Whole Foods stores are supposed to be selling: healthy, good, natural. 3. Mike Adams declares he loves Whole Foods. 4. Paragraph 1: I cant seem to leave the place without spending at least two hundred dollars on health food. Paragraph 2: I ended up buying a hundred dollars worth of raw food snacks. Paragraph 7: The price of that fruit, notably, was enough to pay an entire crew of Southern California agricultural workers a weeks wages. These remarks imply that Whole Foods products are terribly expensive; yet he buys them. Mike Adams makes fun of himself as a customer of Whole Foods stores. He is humorous but also ironical. 5. He bought a potato salad in which there was bacon. He was horrified because this was supposed / meant to be a vegetarian dish but it was not since it contained bacon, i.e. meat. 6. No, he does not really believe that some anti-vegetarians are conspiring against Whole Foods. He thinks these stores mainly want to make profit and cheat on / deceive people. 7. He is amused and enthusiastic. He thinks this store rocks, that is to say it is a great success, with lots of people coming all the time. It is especially good for you if you own shares that is to say if you are one of the people who have invested in the corporation and get some of the profits the firm makes. 8. Mike thinks that Whole Foods stores sell good but very expensive food. The customer has to be careful because the stores are supposed to sell natural food but it is not always the case; there are a lot questionable ingredients. So customers should be cautious / should beware.

LISTENING

Manuel p. 138

Michael Pollan is a contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine. In his book, Defense of Food, he says most of what were consuming today is not food. He points out how were consuming it in the car, in front of the TV, and increasingly alone. He contends this is not really eating. 1. Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. 2. b. It is processed.; c. It is often the product of food science, it is imitation food. 3. We should eat food that our great-grandmothers would recognize as food. 4. Go-gurt is a form of yogurt which is sweetened and enhanced in various ways, that you are supposed to squirt into your mouth. Yogurt is a very simple food but Go-Gurt has dozens of ingredients. 5. Michael Pollan refers to France and Japan. 114 Folder 9 Food Trends

6. a. eat low-fat food, not mentioned; b. eat small portions, France; c. eat one meal a day, not mentioned;

d. do not have seconds, France; e. do not snack, France; f. eat your full, not mentioned; g. eat until you are 80% full, Japan; h. eat rice, not mentioned. 7. People should eat vegetables and fruit. 8. They prevent cancer. They are good for weight control. They prevent diabetes and all the Western diseases that afflict us. 9. No, because meat is very nutritious food (the problem with meat is we eat way too much of it).
Transcription Presenter If your New Years resolutions include eating better, you might want to consider the following advice. It comes from Michael Pollan author of a book called In Defense of Food. When he spoke with Steve Inskeep he was able to summarize his advise in 7 words. Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Pollan Thats it. That is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy. Inskeep Now wait a minute. If your advice is eat food, the implication of that is that whatever were eating now is not food. Pollan Very often, it isnt. We are eating a lot of edible food-like substances, which is to say highly processed things that might be called yogurt, might be called cereals, whatever, but in fact are very intricate products of food science that are really imitations of foods. Inskeep How can I tell the difference between food and fake food? Pollan Well thats where it gets challenging. Thats why I needed a whole book and not that one sentence. Distinguishing between food and food products takes a little bit of work. So I came up with a couple of rules of thumb. One and the simplest is, dont eat anything that your great-grandmother wouldnt recognize as food. Lets say Go-Gurt portable yogurt tubes. Inskeep Would you explain that for people who, maybe, havent had Go-gurt lately. Pollan Well Go-gurt is a form in which yogurt is sweetened and enhanced in various ways that you are supposed to squirt into your mouth or children are supposed to squirt into their mouth on the school bus or whenever they somewhere other than a table. Its a convenience food. And its a fun food. But is it food? And thats the question. You know, yogurt is a very simple food. Its milk inoculated with a bacterial culture. But Go-Gurt has dozens of ingredients. Inskeep So, eat food you go on to say not too much which is easy to say and hard to do. Pollan Once upon a time, there was scarcity. We dont have that anymore; we have abundance. But if you go around the world, you find very interesting tricks and devices. For example, small portion size. You know, the French manage to eat extravagantly rich food, but they dont get fat, and the reason is that they eat it on small plates, they dont have seconds, they dont snack. Or you go to Japan. You go to Okinawa. They have a very interesting rule which is called, Hara Hachi Bu and basically they tell themselves eat only until you are 80 percent full. You know, if you do that, you will actually reduce your caloric intake quite a bit. Inskeep So eat food, not too much and then you say mostly plants. I want to ask about mostly. You dont say only plants, you dont say try to include a few plants. Mostly plants. Pollan Thats right. Yeah, plants are really important. Eating your fruits and vegetables is probably the best thing you can do for preventing cancer, for weight control, for diabetes, for all the different all the Western diseases that now afflict us. But must you not eat meat? No, I think meat is very nutritious food. I think the problem with meat is we eat way too much of it.

Transcription

When World War II began on the 3rd September 1939, Britain was prepared for war: gas masks had been given out, children had been evacuated and air raid shelters had been built. At first, allied troops were unable to stop the Germans invading France. On May 18th 1940, the British and French armies retreated to Dunkirk in the North of France. Fishing boats and pleasure boats came from England to rescue 338,000 troops and bring them home. During the summer of 1940, Hitler ordered his air force to destroy British air bases and aircraft factories. But the Royal Air Force defeated the Germans. The Battle of Britain saved Britain from invasion. On June 6, 1944, a date known as D-Day, the R.A.F. bombers dropped 5,000 tons of bombs on Hitlers coastal defences. This was Operation Overlord. Meanwhile, 5,300 ships and over 10,000 planes were on the way. 107,000 troops were landed on the beaches to reclaim France and drive on to Germany. British, American and Canadian troops invaded France to free Europe from Nazi control. By May 7th, 1945, Germany surrendered. Victory in Europe was celebrated with street parties, bonfires and fireworks. Action Draw a timeline

And what that means is that youre attached to a unit of the army. In my case, it was with the headquarters of the British Land Forces, in other words, the soldiers who were travelling up from northern Kuwait into southern Iraq. I spent my time entirely with the army, for five or six weeks. *** Judy How difficult was it for you? Were you afraid out there? Tim There were a couple of times when I was afraid. There was one moment where we came under fairly sustained mortar attack. This was just outside Basra, and the mortars landed pretty close to us. And, in a way, at that sort of time, you dont really have time to be that frightened because, youre just diving for cover. But, looking back on it, you realize that it was quite a frightening experience. *** So, there was a lot of training with that. There were also, we were told, certain rules that we had to follow. An awful lot has been said about how we operated under very strict control from the army, that they only allowed us to say certain things. And, while its true that the army did not allow us to jeopardize, to put at risk, any of their operations by predicting exactly where they were going to strike next, for example, they never censored my words or told me that I could only behave in a certain way.

3. The two main characters are a German priest, Father Kraus (line 1 The priest trembled violently when he

saw the pistol lines 12, 14, 16, 18, 21 the priest was bent over him, administering the last rites of Extreme Unction) and an American pilot (lines 31/32 the countryside was alerted that an American pilot moved among them). The narrator is the pilots son. He refers to the pilot as my father (line 3 My father lowered the pistol, line 8 My father laughed, etc.). 4. The scene takes place in a German village, in a Catholic church, in the bell tower to be more precise (lines 12/13 Father Kraus helped my father rise to his feet and walked him to the vestibule leading to the bell tower and line 36 Did they come to the church?). 5. These remarks show that the pilot is badly hurt / injured: Are you badly hurt? the priest asked. My father laughed, then said, Badly. Father Kraus helped my father rise to his feet They struggled up the narrow stairs. Then the priest tore (his chasuble) into long strips, and tied them tightly around my fathers head. (lines 16/17) I must get water to clean the wound.(line 18) The priest knew that the wounded pilots injuries were grievous. (line 22) I think you are dying, the priest said. (line 26) 6. His plane has been shot down and the pilot has managed to escape from the wreck / to jump out of the plane with his parachute before the crash. 7. At first the priest is scared because the pilot is threatening him with a pistol. Then he closed his eyes, folded his hands against his chest, and blessed (the narrators) father in Latin (lines 2/3) as if he was getting ready to die and wanted to forgive the pilot for the abominable act he was going to carry out. 8. Them refers to the German soldiers who are looking for the American pilot. The priest has decided to go and tell the German authorities he has found the pilot because he is an enemy. 9. No, the priest did not do what he had decided: the narrator writes I told them that if I found you I would kill you with my own two hands.(lines 37/38). This remark shows he does not denounce him. The priest does as if he had not seen the pilot / as if he had never met the pilot / as if he had not saved the pilot On voit comme la question 7 la ncessit dutiliser la structure as if + prtrit modal. 10. We know the priest is taking a risk: (lines 32/33) There was a reward for his (the pilots) capture and anyone found helping him would be executed. He risked being executed if the soldiers found out he was hiding the pilot. On pourra revoir lutilisation des formes en V-ing qui sont traites au folder 2 et dans le paragraphe 16 du prcis grammatical. 11. The narrator writes: Years later, my father would describe with undiminished wonder the taste of that dark German bread, that precious butter on that bread, and the red wine the priest gave him from the bottle (lines 28/29), which proves that the pilot survived. Although he was very badly injured, the narrators father survived.

12. The priest is very courageous, sympathetic and humane. He does not consider the pilot as an enemy but as

a man who needs help and protection. He acts according to his faith and looks after the pilot although they are not on the same side. On pourra travailler lexpression de la concession (dj possible la question 11) qui fait lobjet dun exercice page 148 du manuel.

Transcription

My fathers plane had been shot down by the Germans during the war. He was seriously wounded and found shelter in a church. The priest thought my father was dying and applied the oils of sacrament. A German patrol found the wrecked plane and declared that there would be a reward for the pilots capture. Anyone found helping him would be executed. When the patrol came to the church, the priest told them he had not seen the pilot, but that he would kill him with his own hands if he did. Action Act out the scene

TEXT FILE 2 Then Everything Changed

Manuel p. 150

The writer, Jessica Paige, is a 17-year old girl from New Jersey. She says she is an American minority and loves showing people she is not a stereotype. Her short story, found on http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/858875#sw, is about the Japanese internment camps in the States in the 1940s. The title is a Japanese word, which means memories. Historical background President Roosevelt declared that the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, would live in infamy. The attack launched the United States into the World War. Prior to Pearl Harbor, the United States had been involved in the European war only by supplying England and other antifascist countries with weapons. The attack on Pearl Harbor also launched a rash of fear about national security, especially on the West Coast. In February 1942, 2 months after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt decided to relocate all the people of Japanese ancestry. His objectives were to prevent espionage and to protect people of Japanese descent from strong anti-Japanese attitudes in the population. Roosevelts order affected 117,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were native-born citizens of the United States. People were sent to relocation centers, which were often situated in remote and desolate areas (see map of relocation centers on http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW2/japan_internment_camps. htm). Families had to share tar-papered barracks. The internment of people of Japanese ancestry during World War II sparked constitutional debate. Some people refer to the relocation centers as concentration camps; others view internment as an unfortunate episode, but a military necessity.

California (line 25). Her best friend is Liz.


4. Before Pearl Harbour she used to go to high school and to be very close to her friend, Liz. 5. After Pearl Harbour everybody began to stare at (Miki) all the time. They would talk about her not just

behind her back but when she could clearly hear them; Her locker would have nasty things written on it, the worst part was Liz called her names, her friend backed away from her. The girls started being rude, rejecting her and insulting her because she was of Japanese descent. 6. The girls attitude made Miki feel terrible (line 13). Miki was confused (line 17) and Lizs words slapped her across the face and it still stung thinking about it (line 17), which shows that she was deeply hurt and did not really understand Lizs hostility since she personally had not changed. 7. The family has decided to pack, to get ready and to leave. It was not time to go yet (line 4). They were packing their belongings. her mom ran off to pack up what else she could fit into suitcases.

Miki is heart-broken at the idea of leaving her room and her house, Miki had already finished packing and did not want to go to her room again (line 28) but she tries to put on a brave face and lies to her mother who asks her if she is worried.

Frank OConnor (September 17, 1903 March 10, 1966) was an Irish author. His early life was marked by his fathers alcoholism, indebtness and ill-treatment of his mother. In 1918 he joined the Irish Republican Army in its resistance to British rule. He took the anti-treaty side in the Irish Civil War which followed. He worked in a small propaganda unit in Cork City.
