Teacher’s Book 1re 4


FOREWORD

Dear colleagues,

We have a new set of student’s books called Win Skills for Ivorian schools. These
books are for teenagers in the second cycle of secondary school. They follow a
special way of teaching, called Competence-Based Language Teaching.

The Win Skills 1re book has 10 units. They cover the four language skills : speaking,
writing, listening, and reading. They also include sections such as language
corner, free oral communication, unit review, and project task.

This book is for classroom teachers like you. It gives you ideas and insights on
how to manage your class. The suggestions are helpful, but you can adapt them
if necessary. The time for activities is not fixed because some things might be
hard for students. We picked pictures that can help students learn better. Bring
in realias to boost your students’ understanding.

It's really important to get ready before teaching. Read and understand the goals
and suggestions in the book. We made short notes at the start of the student's book
to help you. If you need more help, you can go through those recommendations.

We added classroom language, quotes, sayings, and proverbs to the book. They
can enhance students’ interest in the lessons. Some quotes are from famous
people like Michelle Obama and Albert Einstein. They can inspire the kids a lot.

Each lesson begins with a series of questions and image analysis (LEAD-IN) that
enable learners to form their own opinions and better focus on the theme of the
lesson.
In this teacher's book, we provide you with suggestions for feedback sessions,
as far as communication activities are concerned. Students should try to bring
out their own ideas based on the examples. They are free to express themselves
in writing and don't need to use our suggestions all the time. Encourage them to
explore their own paths of creativity.

One distinctive feature that sets Win Skills 1re apart is the incorporation of some
tests. These tests mirror important exams and can be assigned as homework to
aid students in achieving better outcomes.

5 Teacher’s Book 1re


In Win Skills student’s books, the four skills (Speaking, Writing, Listening and
Reading) are equally treated according to the official syllabus. Therefore, it’s our
pleasure to inform you that Listening podcasts are available on the official Internet
site of the publisher. You should download and use them in order to enhance your
teaching. You may need the help of your PU chairman or the regional Adviser
to collect the Internet site address of the publisher. Morever, feel free to get in
touch with some of the authors you may know for extra recommendations or
suggestions.
One last thing, in Win Skills 1re, both sections of "Free Oral Communication"
and "Project Task" are a major opportunity immersing learners in authentic and
natural communication.

We hope you have a great time using our books. Have fun teaching !

tourists have brought pollution there : garbage ; including food, plastics, tins,
aluminium cans, glass, and papers have overpolluted some sites. Besides, the
wildlife is menaced by poachers and timber cutters.
Jonathan : What a pity ! But, what measures have the authorities taken to
protect the sites ?

of the agents of the Forest and Waters Departments and village associations
fighting against desertification and wildlife extinctions, environmental
protection is being reinforced.
Jonathan : Good. The protection of the environment is a global issue. We are
all concerned about it, no matter the country and the continent we live in.
You : You are right, bro. Thank you.

■ LISTENING PASSAGE
The tourism industry in Ghana, I think most often has evolved around
business, tourism and then also conferences and events. And I think a lot
of companies, a lot of organizations, a lot of institutions are bringing events
and conferences to Ghana, especially because when you look at West
Africa, Ghana seems to be the most stable and peaceful country in West
Africa. And so that is why a lot of conferences and events are coming. But
business in general, I mean, Ghana is still opening up. You know, recently
we change the government and so a new government is in place. And so it
means that a lot more people are coming in to come and look for business
opportunities and things like that. And so that is what Villa prides itself in.
We mostly have business people staying with us at the hotel.

Example of email

Dear Topman,
I hope you are doing well. I have received your last email in which you told me
your desire to come and visit some tourist sites in my country. I’m writing to
propose a tourist site worth seeing.
In fact, my country is covered with tourist attractive sites, but one place is
my favourite one : the Basilica our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro. It’s a giant
building realised by late President Felix Houphouët-Boigny. He was particularly
proud of it.
Yamoussoukro is worth visiting because it’s our political Capital. It’s 230
kilometers from Abidjan. We drive almost 3 hours to get there by a nice
highway. The city is free from traffic jams and all sorts of pollution. You will
enjoy visiting the Hôtel President, the Peace Foundation building and the
presidential palace where the late president was buried. The Basilica itself is
a highly religious place where many visitors come daily.
During my last visit there, I enjoyed taking some selfies from there. The
holiness of the place amazed me too much and filled me with more spirituality.
I will be happy to welcome you a week stay. My parents have made a few
arrangements to make you enjoy it.
See soon.
Yours
Melki Ourega

LISTENING PASSAGE
Everyone’s talking about climate change. But what is our climate? And why is
it changing ? Our climate is the earth’s normal weather over a very long time.
It usually takes hundreds, or thousands of years for the climate to change.
But recently, our climate has been changing much faster. All these changes
make life harder for our plants, animals, and for people around the world. And
the biggest cause of climate change is humans. When we use fuel, like oil
and gasoline, or remove forests to make room for cities or farms, we release
greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. These greenhouse gases cause our
climate to get warmer.

Possible answers :
The main responsible for climate change is Humans.
When we use fuel, like oil and gasoline, or remove forests to make room for
cities or farms, we release greenhouse gases into our atmosphere: our planet get
warmer.

LISTENING PASSAGE 1
Fossil fuels are fuels produced from the remains of ancient plants and animals.
They include coal, petroleum (oil), and natural gas. People rely on fossil fuels to
power vehicles like cars and airplanes, to produce electricity, and to cook and
provide heat.
In addition, many of the products we use today are made from petroleum. These
include plastics, synthetic rubber, fabrics like nylon, medicines, cosmetics,
waxes, cleaning products, medical devices, and even bubble gum.

LISTENING PASSAGE 2
Fossil fuels formed over millions of years. Once we use them up, we cannot
replace them. Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource.
We need to conserve fossil fuels so we don’t run out. However, there are other
good reasons to limit our fossil fuel use. These fuels pollute the air when
they are burned.

Teacher’s Book 1re 28


Burning fossil fuels also releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,
contributing to global warming. Global warming is changing ecosystems.
The oceans are becoming warmer and more acidic, which threatens sea
life. Sea levels are rising, posing risks to coastal communities. Many areas are
experiencing more droughts, while others suffer from flooding.
Scientists are exploring alternatives to fossil fuels. They are trying to
produce renewable biofuels to power cars and trucks. They are looking to
produce electricity using the sun, wind, water, and geothermal energy—
the Earth’s natural heat.
Everyone can help conserve fossil fuels by using them carefully. Turn off
lights and other electronics when you are not using them. Purchase energy-
efficient appliances and weatherproof your home. Walk, ride a bike, carpool,
and use public transportation whenever possible.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY

Ask the students to read the communication activity. Tell the students that the
activity should be done individually. Make sure they understand the task by asking
a few questions about it. Explain the task to help them better understand it if
necessary. Then, time the activity and ask them to do it. Move around the classroom
and provide help when needed. When the time is over, tell them to stop. Finally,
conduct feedback (Choose a few students to present their paragraph. Ask the rest
of the class to listen and react after the presentation concerning the mistakes.)

Example
Gold exploitation, also known as gold mining, can have significant negative
impacts on the environment and surrounding communities. While gold mining
can bring economic benefits, such as job creation and tax revenue, the drawbacks
of gold exploitation can far outweigh the benefits.
One of the biggest drawbacks of gold exploitation is the destruction of the
environment. Gold mining often involves the use of heavy machinery and chemicals,
which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. In addition, gold
mining can cause the release of harmful chemicals, which can have long-term
effects on the health of local populations and wildlife. They can also contaminate
nearby water sources, making them unsafe for consumption and agricultural use.
Another major drawback of gold exploitation is the displacement of local
communities. Gold mining often takes place on land that is traditionally used by

29 Teacher’s Book 1re


indigenous communities for agriculture, hunting, and fishing. These communities
may be forced to relocate, and their livelihoods may be destroyed.
Finally, gold exploitation can have political drawbacks. In some cases, gold
mining may be controlled by corrupted or oppressive governments, which may
use the revenue generated by gold mining to enrich themselves at the expense
of local communities. This can lead to social unrest, violence, and even conflicts.
In conclusion, we can say that while gold mining can bring economic benefits, the
drawbacks of gold exploitation are significant and should not be overlooked. As
such, it is important for governments, mining companies, and local communities
to work together to ensure that gold mining is conducted in a sustainable and
responsible manner, with a focus on minimizing the negative impacts on the
environment and local communities.
Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model

SAVE OUR FORESTS
Côte d’Ivoire, a country located in West Africa, is known for its rich forests and
biodiversity. However, this natural heritage is under threat due to the misuse of
forests. The rapid deforestation of the country is a serious issue that needs to
be addressed urgently. In this article, we will denounce this misuse of forests
and suggest measures to stop this phenomenon.

31 Teacher’s Book 1re


The misuse of forests in Côte d’Ivoire is primarily caused by human activities
such as logging, mining, and agriculture. These activities have led to the loss
of biodiversity, soil degradation, and a decrease in water quality. Furthermore,
the loss of forest cover has also impacted the livelihoods of local communities
that depend on forests for their survival.
The government of Côte d’Ivoire needs to take urgent action to address the
misuse of forests. One of the most effective measures would be to implement
stronger laws and regulations to protect the forest cover. The government
could also provide incentives for companies that engage in sustainable forest
management practices.
Another measure that could be taken is the promotion of alternative
livelihoods for local communities that depend on forests. This could include
the promotion of ecotourism, agroforestry, and sustainable agriculture. By
providing alternative livelihoods, the government can reduce the pressure on
forests for subsistence.
Furthermore, increased public awareness about the importance of forests
could also help reduce the misuse of forests in Côte d’Ivoire. This could be
achieved through campaigns and education programs that highlight the
importance of forests for biodiversity, climate regulation, and local livelihoods.
In conclusion, the misuse of forests in Côte d’Ivoire is a serious issue that needs
to be addressed urgently. The government needs to implement stronger laws
and regulations to protect the forest cover, provide incentives for sustainable
forest management practices, promote alternative livelihoods for local
communities, and increase public awareness about the importance of forests.
By taking these measures, we can ensure that the forests of Côte d’Ivoire are
preserved for future generations.

the deforestation and the droughts are the reasons for implementing the
GGW.

▶ Phase 3
The difficulties in implementing the GGW : insufficient funds, lack of oversight
and improperly allocated technical support.

Listening passage
The GGW has been championed by advocates as a prime example of land
restoration initiatives. However, the project is worryingly behind schedule.
In 2020, the Great Green Wall was only 4% complete ahead of its planned
2030 completion date. The delays and missed timelines are due to a number
of reasons, but mainly insufficient funds, lack of oversight and improperly
allocated technical support.

Example of production

It is difficult to predict the future of COVID-19 with certainty, but it is possible


that it will continue to circulate in populations, potentially becoming endemic
like other respiratory viruses, such as the common cold.
While vaccines are effective in preventing severe diseases and death from
COVID-19, they may not provide complete protection against infection or
transmission, particularly as new variants of the virus emerge. Ongoing
transmission of the virus in some parts of the world may also allow for the
development of new variants that may be more resistant to existing vaccines.
However, it is important to note that efforts to control the spread of the virus
through vaccination, public health measures, such as mask-wearing and
social distancing, and improved treatments can help to reduce the impact of
COVID-19 on individuals and communities. Additionally, ongoing research into
the virus and its variants may lead to the development of new treatments or
more effective vaccines in the future.

Teacher’s Book 1re 40


LISTENING PASSAGE
AEbola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is
a rare but severe, often fatal illness in humans.
The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the
human population through human-to-human transmission.
The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have
varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.
Community engagement is key to successfully controlling outbreaks.
Good outbreak control relies on applying a package of interventions, namely
case management, infection prevention and control practices, surveillance
and contact tracing, a good laboratory service, safe and dignified burials and
social mobilisation.
Vaccines to protect against Ebola have been developed and have been used
to help control the spread of Ebola outbreaks in Guinea and in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Early supportive care with rehydration, symptomatic treatment improves
survival. Two monoclonal antibodies (Inmazeb and Ebanga) were approved
for the treatment of Zaire ebolavirus (Ebolavirus) infection in adults and
children by the US Food and Drug Administration in late 2020.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women with Ebola should be offered early
supportive care. Likewise, vaccine prevention and experimental treatment
should be offered under the same conditions as for the non-pregnant
population.

Example of production

The Ebola virus disease (EVD) is primarily spread through contact with bodily
fluids of an infected person or animal, including blood, urine, saliva, and
faeces. To reduce the spread of Ebola virus disease, it is important to take the
following precautions :
1- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based
hand sanitizer.
2- Avoid direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person or animal,

Example of production

Subject : Important Message Regarding Covid-19.


Dear friend Prunelle,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am writing to you today to discuss the ongoing situation regarding the
Covid-19 pandemic. As we are all aware, the virus continues to spread rapidly
and poses a significant threat to our health and well-being. It is important
that we all take the necessary measures to avoid the spread of the virus and
protect ourselves and others around us.
The dangers of Covid-19 are real and have been widely documented. It is
highly contagious and can be transmitted through respiratory droplets when
an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It is important to note that some
people with Covid-19 may not show any symptoms but can still spread the
virus to others. This makes it even more critical that we all do our part in
preventing the spread of this disease.
To avoid the spread of Covid-19, we must follow the guidelines set by the
health authorities. These include wearing a mask in public places, washing our
hands frequently, maintaining social distancing, avoiding large gatherings, and
staying home if we feel unwell. These measures may seem small, but they can
have a significant impact on preventing the spread of the virus.
I urge you my friend to take this situation seriously and take the necessary
precautions to protect yourself and those around you. We all have a role to
play in fighting this pandemic, and together, we can make a difference.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to
me. Let us all do our part in keeping ourselves and our communities safe.
Best regards,
Your friend Hannielle

Dr Pirutinsky’s tips for parents to cope with technology addiction include :
In conversations, acknowledge the benefits your children get from technology
but help them understand the risks involved. Teach them how to maintain
their privacy online and avoid sharing personal information. Be a model for
this in your own online behaviour. Be available to your children in case they
encounter harassment or inappropriate content.
Pay attention. Monitor how much time your child spends online, what they
do and how frequently they log on. Monitor your own usage as well and try
to cut down if you notice overuse or a constant urge to check social media
feeds, texts and emails.
Work with your child to set guidelines for technology use.
Establish limits for when and where technology should be used. Consider
making mealtimes screen-free times and bedrooms tech-free zones. Set
an example by placing your own device in another room before dinner and
plugging your device into a charger in the kitchen before going to bed.

Example of production

Hi everyone,
I am here today to address an issue that is threatening our society : juvenile
delinquency.
It is a serious issue that harms individuals and creates social problems.
Juvenile delinquency refers to the behaviour of minors who engage in illegal
activities or commit crimes.
One of the major causes of juvenile delinquency is the absence of parental
involvement.

51 Teacher’s Book 1re


Parents who are absent or fail to provide adequate attention and guidance
to their children can create a gap in their lives, leading them towards bad
influences. Another factor is peer pressure, which often leads children to make
poor decisions or engage in criminal activities to please their friends.
Juvenile unacceptable behaviour can have serious and lasting consequences.
Children involved in such behaviours often develop psychological and
emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress
disorder. They may also face legal consequences, which can send them to
prison and endanger their future in terms of education or employment. The
victims of juvenile delinquency can suffer physical, mental, and emotional
harm as a result of the offender’s actions.
However, there is good news ; there are solutions available to prevent
delinquent behaviour among youth. First, parents must take a more active role
in their child’s life, providing them with love, support, and guidance towards
positive behaviour. Educating children about the dangers and consequences
of delinquent behaviour is also essential.
In conclusion, we must all work together to address the causes and
consequences of juvenile delinquency. By providing children with the resources
and support they need, we can give them a chance to grow up into responsible
and productive members of society. Let us take strong measures towards
achieving this goal.
Thank you.

Example of production

Hi everyone,
Today, I want to talk about a juvenile criminal case that has recently
shocked Yopougon, where I live. Earlier in the month, a modest shopkeeper,
known as ‘‘boutiquier’’, had been the victim of an armed robbery.
With a gun in hand and wearing a mask, the young criminal entered the store
and angrily demanded money from the shopkeeper. However, thanks to the
quick thinking of the shopkeeper, who was able to secretly press the panic
button, the police arrived on time, arrested the young delinquent, and took him
to the police station.

Teacher’s Book 1re 54


After an investigation, it was found that the accused was indeed guilty of
committing the crime. He was then brought before the court in Yopougon,
where he was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment for his behaviour.
To put an end to such crimes, it is important that we take strong measures.
One solution could be to raise youngsters’ awareness through programs that
educate them about the consequences of bad behaviour. We also need to
encourage our communities to be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour
to the authorities. Finally, we need to equip the police with modern technology,
better communication tools, and training to tackle such incidents quickly and
efficiently.
Thank you for your attention.

LISTENING PASSAGE
If you suspect you are being sexually harassed at work, you may not know what
to do about it. You are being made to feel uncomfortable, but you are afraid
to speak up for fear of losing your job. Sexual harassment in the workplace
should not be taken lightly. If you find yourself in this sticky situation, here are
three things you should do.
First, gather evidence and document the illegal behaviour. Keep records of
what happened and save emails or other documents, but do not steal, copy, or
take documents that are confidential or employer-owned that you don’t have
a right to.
Second, report to a supervisor. Typically, you are required to notify your
employer before legal action.

■ Define sexual harassment :
Sexual harassment is any uncomfortable and unwanted situation felt by a
woman that is sexual in nature.
■ Mention two causes :
Gender inequality, gender norms, other forms of discrimination and
disadvantage (Power disparities in society also stem from a range of other
factors, including race, disability, age, visa status, economic vulnerability,
geographic location and career stage).
■ Suggest two measures to stop it :
In order to prevent sexual harassment, we must reduce gender inequality and
other forms of discrimination and disadvantage, and eliminate contextual
factors known to increase the risk of it occurring.

57 Teacher’s Book 1re


Example of talk

Hi everyone,
I am here today to tell you about a very important issue that affects
people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds : Sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is defined as any unwanted sexual behaviour or advances that
make a person feel uncomfortable, intimidated, or violated. It can take many forms,
such as physical touching, verbal comments, or even online messages or images.
There are several reasons why sexual harassment happens. One reason is a
lack of awareness and education about what it is and how it affects others.
Another reason is power dynamics, where someone may use their position of
authority to force or intimidate someone into unwanted sexual behaviour.
If we want to stop sexual harassment, we must take necessary steps to prevent
it from happening in the first place. Firstly, we need to educate ourselves and
others about what sexual harassment is and why it is harmful. This means
creating safe spaces for individuals to speak up about their experiences
and providing resources for those who have been affected by it. Secondly,
we need to punish those who engage in sexually harassing behaviour. This
includes implementing policies and procedures that make it clear that sexual
harassment is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Definitively, sexual harassment is a serious issue that affects many people.
Increasing our awareness and taking action to prevent it will guarantee safer
and more respectful environments for everyone.
Thank you.

Third, contact an employment lawyer for you to file your claim. Depending on
your claim, the statute of limitations can be as short as three months.
What do men gain from sexual harassment? There are at least three
motivations, namely sex, power, and gender identity protection, which have
been hypothesized to drive harassing behaviours.

Example of report

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN CÔTE D’IVOIRE


Sexual harassment is a universal problem that affects individuals of
different genders, ages, and social statuses. In Cote d’Ivoire, a study
reveals that 90% of girls and 10% of boys are victims of sexual harassment
in various public and private institutions. The study was conducted
in May 2023 by the National Institute of Statistics (NIS). The survey
pinpoints that many factors favour sexual harassment in Cote d’Ivoire.
First, almost all women victims of sexual harassment are in a subordinate
position, which makes them vulnerable. Most cases of sexual harassment take
place in the workplace, and women are expected to tolerate such behaviour
from men. Second, there is a lack of policy implementation to prevent sexual
harassment in public and private institutions. This situation creates an
environment for such acts.
Victims of sexual harassment suffer different consequences. According to the
survey, these negative effects range from psychological trauma to an impact
on their careers. Victims of sexual harassment often suffer from depression,
anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In terms of career, it
negatively impacts the victim’s career as it impairs their ability to work effectively.
As a solution, the government should establish and enforce laws to prohibit
sexual harassment in all public and private institutions. They should raise
people’s awareness and encourage women to report such acts.

FREE ORAL COMMUNICATION

This section gives your learners a real opportunity to communicate freely.


▶ COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES
Go through the communication strategies with your students to equip them
with the tools they need to succeed in the task they are going to be assigned.
A- ASSIGNMENT
Note that it sounds like a communication situation. Tell your students to read
the assignment and ask them a few questions about it to make sure they
understand what they have to do.
Expected answers :
▪ The “law of silence” refers to a social phenomenon where people decide to
remain silent and not to denounce certain issues, such as sexual harassment,
child abuse, or injustice.
▪ The causes of this situation are as follows : fear and worry about the
consequences they might face if they break the information / certain topics
are surrounded by social stigma / lack of trust in the authorities responsible

Teacher’s Book 1re 62


for addressing issues
▪ opinion about the “law of silence” can vary among people.
▪ In cases of violence and abuse, the right attitude is to break the “law of
silence” and take appropriate actions.

B- TIME TO GATHER INFORMATION


Guide the students through the different phases to collect as much
information as possible. The collected data will help them succeed in the
task.
For each phase, set the grouping mode, time the activity, move around to
supervise and provide help if necessary. When the time is up, ask them to
stop and conduct feedback.
▶ Phase 1
Picture analysis
Possible answers :
▪ Children are victims of physical violence and sexual abuse.
▪ They are afraid of denouncing adults or perpetrators of such acts.
▪ I have this perspective for the following reasons. Adults who abuse children
are more powerful and influential than their victims. For this reason, kids
worry about the consequences they might face if they break the silence.
▶ Phase 2
Have the students read the text and answer the questions.
Possible answers :
▪ Problem raised : child abuse.
▪ Perpetrators of this violence : family members.
▪ Common solution : “Law of silence” through amicable arrangements.
Students give relevant ideas to support their answers.
▶ Phase 3
Students listen and take notes
Possible answers :
▪ Consequence(s) of the issue raised in the reading passage : impunity of the
perpetrator and preventing victims from accessing the justice system

63 Teacher’s Book 1re


▪ Difficulties encountered by victims : discouragement and costs of medical
certificates

LISTENING PASSAGE

Obstacles to access to justice for child victims


These practices favour the impunity of perpetrators and prevent victims
from accessing the justice system. Moreover, when a victim decides to
file a complaint, the victim is faced with a number of obstacles, which risk
to discourage the victim to obtain justice. For example, victims often face
difficulty lodging a complaint, to compile a case file and to gather proof
of the violence and abuse suffered. Furthermore, despite the commitments
made by the Ivorian authorities, the victims have to bear the costs of the
preparation of medical certificates.

UNIT 5 : HUMAN RIGHTS

▶ FAMOUS QUOTE ANALYSIS


The teacher invites his students to read silently the quote from NELSON R.
MANDELA and try to explain it to their neighbours.
Then, ask them a few questions.
a- List three basic Human rights.
b- According to Mandela, why Human Rights shouldn’t be denied ?
c- In what countries are human rights generally not respected ?
Suggested answers : Nelson R. Mandela’s words gave a clearer definition to
dehumanization ; to impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation
is to dehumanize them. His mission as an anti-apartheid revolutionary was to
establish equality and freedom for all women, men and children. He stood for the
fundamental rights of all human beings, regardless of gender, nationality or race.
This is also the very idea for which Nelson Mandela was jailed for 27 years.
a- Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of persons, freedom of
opinion and expression, the right to work and education.
b- For him, all human beings are born equal and deserve fair treatment before
the law.
c- Dictatorship Nations and countries with a shortage of democracy.
▶ Picture analysis
Ask the students to look at the pictures and answer the questions. They can
do it with their neighbours or in groups of 3 or 4 students.
Expected answers :
1- The pictures are about mass-protest to claim rights ; rights to education ; equal
rights for all men and women, boys and girls, blacks and whites ; freedom of
speech.
2- The statement in picture C can be justified by the lack of freedom of
speech. Every human being is entitled to express his/her opinions freely and
governments should protect/guarantee freedom of expression to all.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Ask the students to read the communication activity. Make sure they understand
the task by asking a few questions about it. Explain the task to help them better
understand it if necessary. Then, set the grouping mode, time the activity and
ask them to prepare their speech. Go around the classroom and provide help
when needed. When the time is over, tell them to stop. Finally, conduct feedback
(choose a few pairs to present their speech. Ask the rest of the class to listen and
react when a mistake appears).
Example of a formal speech
■ Civilities
▪ Honourable members of the NGO,
▪ Dear guests,
▪ Ladies and gentlemen,
■ Introduction
E.g : I am…….(name), chairman of the Ivorian Non-Governmental Organization
“Women’s rights matter”
▪ Question/topic to deal with
▪ Conclusion : Thank the audience
■ BODY OF THE SPEECH
1- Examples of some Human rights :
▪ The right to life and liberty
▪ Freedom of opinion and expression
▪ The right to work and education
▪ The right to social protection, to an adequate standard of living and to
the highest attainable standards of physical and mental well-being.
2- Human Rights are basic rights that belong to all of us simply because
we are human. They embody key values in our society such as fairness,
dignity, equality and respect. They are an important means of protection
for us all, especially those who may face abuse, neglect and isolation. Most

69 Teacher’s Book 1re


importantly, these rights give us power, enable us to speak up and challenge
poor treatment from a public authority.
3- The power of human rights lies in the very fact that they treat everyone as
equal in terms of possessing human dignity. Humanity will be preserved
from any abuses and violations; be they physical or moral and spiritual.
Without human rights, there can be no sustained peace, no stability, and no
protection from harm. No equality, no democracy, no space to speak up. No
online safety, no end to the digital divide, and no hope of an internet that puts
people over profit. No way to protect the well-being and safety of children,
young people, the elderly, disabled persons, refugees, or minorities, no
sustainable development, and possibly no human future at all. Human rights
are the key to our collective human future.

▪ CONCLUSION : Thank the audience

of conditional sentences.

B- LET’S PRACTISE

For each task, state a grouping mode, set the timing and ask the students to do
the activity. As they do the task, move around to supervise, monitor, and explain
things when necessary. When they are done, ask them to stop and conduct
feedback.

71 Teacher’s Book 1re

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY

Ask the students to read the communication activity. Set the grouping mode.
Make sure they understand the task by asking a few questions about it. Explain
the task to help them better understand it if necessary. Then, time the activity
and ask them to do it. Go around the classroom and provide help when needed.
When the time is over, tell them to stop. Finally, conduct feedback (choose a
spokesman/woman in a few groups to read their presentation). Ask the rest of
the class to listen and react when a mistake appears.
Example of presentation : It’s an informal talk.
1- Greetings
E.g. : *Good morning / Hi / Hello friends / Dear members of the English-
speaking club.
* Ladies and gentlemen,
2- Introduction
E.g. : *My name is …./ I’m……
3- Topic to be discussed.
E.g. : *I’m happy to talk about basic children’s Rights with you today.
* I want to talk to you about children’s Rights.
4- Development
▪ Example of basic children’s Rights :
- The right to life

Teacher’s Book 1re 72


- The right to health
- Freedom of thought
- The right to special protection from harm

▪ Why children’s Rights should be respected by adults :


They’re less likely to do harmful things, they make good choices, and they tend
to act in ways that are in their own best interest, so children must be respected,
and their emotions must be respected for better cognitive development. We
should nourish their inquisitive mind, we should set forth, applaud that curiosity.
Because your child will become what you are; so, be what you want them to be
and time spent with your child is never wasted.

▪ Drawbacks resulting from children’s rights violation :


The protection of children from harmful practices is of critical relevance for the
realization of children’s rights. Across regions, millions of children have been
subject to various forms of practices that have devastating consequences on
the child’s life, development, health, education and protection. For example,
violence against children from adults should come to an end, whether accepted
as ‘’tradition’’ or disguised as ‘’discipline’’. There can be no compromise in
challenging violence against children.

▪ Suggested solutions to preserve children’s rights :


The U.N (United Nations) must make countries ratify or adopt unanimously
protocols, and conventions forbidding child prostitution, child pornography, the
sale of children and the involvement of children in conflict. As recognised by the
League of Nations in 1924, ‘’Mankind owes to the child the best that it has to
give’’.

PRONUNCIATION

Set a grouping mode and time the activity. Then, ask the students to do the ac-
tivity. When the time is over, ask them to stop and conduct feedback (choose a
few students to pronounce them aloud to the class. Invite the class to appreciate

Dear Sir / madam,


With a view to better organize the endly activities of our English club, we wish
you could help us by accepting the sponsoring.
In fact, by these celebrations, we aim not only at promoting the English
language but also entertain ourselves after a hardworking school year.
We agree that your busy schedule and various solicitations could cause

My friends and I stay positive and expect the fulfillment of our wishes.

Yours faithfully.

Guide the students through the different phases to collect much information
as possible. The collected data will help if necessary. When the time is up,

Teacher’s Book 1re 78


ask them to stop and conduct feedback.

▶ PHASE 1
PICTURE ANALYSIS :
Possible answers :
1- Yes, because doing the right thing is the most admirable trait one can have.
You don’t have to bother about whether other people notice it or not, that’s
not why you’re doing it. You are doing it because it’s the right thing to do ;
because it positively benefits not only you but it’s good for the world too.
Aung is right to the extent that ‘’the strongest prison is the one where you
are afraid to leave even though the door is open! There is no more heavy
imprisonment than being afraid to be free! ‘’, Mehmet Murat Ildan.
2- Yes, there are. First, they’re women human rights defenders. Secondly, they
use non-violent actions in their struggle.

▶ PHASE 2
Expected answers :
a- The courageous life of Aung San Suu Kyi
b- She’s an example of determination and self-sacrifice

▶ PHASE 3
Expected answers :
a- Her refusal to give up her seat on a public bus.
b- I would have reacted as she did because only the fight pays.
c- She believed that ‘’if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything’’.
At its core, this adage is about the importance of decision-making that’s
guided by a set of values. In other words, if you are such a person who does
not stand for anything then you’re condemned to be easily led as part of the
crowd and more easily tricked by those who may not have your best interests
at heart to do things and follow actions that very possibly are to your own
detriment or harm people that you care about.

LISTENING PASSAGE

Magdalena
The UNESCO-Malala Centers in Guatemala work with local partners to
provide sustainable teaching programmes in rural areas where economic
problems and distance from school limit girls’ access to education. They
offer educational programmes in the language of the participants that
will contribute to their personal and socioeconomic development.In 2018,
Magdalena became the first educational coordinator for the local UNESCO-
Malala Center, created as part of the new project supported by the UNESCO-
Malala Fund for Girls’ Right to Education(…)It is essential to listen to what
girls and women want and need. It is why in the first stage of the project
two participatory workshops were held in April 2018 in the UNESCO-Malala
Centers in the municipalities of San Andrés Xecul and Santa MaríaChiquimula,
for which many participants had to register with their fingerprints because
they could not read or write. One woman said: «I want to learn practical skills
that can help me generate my own income». For another woman, learning
to read meant not getting lost in the street. A young girl hoped to become
a teacher; a woman wanted to help her children with their homework(…)
This fund was established in 2012 following the brutal assassination
attempt against Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani activist for girls’ right to
education. It acknowledges the transformative power of education to create
values and practices that respect and promote human rights, social inclusion,
gender equality and peace.

Example of discussion

Noura : How can you define technology ?


Anzoumana : Technology could be defined as all the technical, electronic and
computer means conceived to accelerate and facilitate the execution of daily
tasks.
Noura : Do you think Technology is succeeding in this mission ?
Anzoumana : Yes, I think it is perfectly succeeding in this mission. First of all,
at the level of communication, we could not have dreamed of anything better.
The cell phone allows us to communicate everywhere in the world. Moreover,
thanks to the Internet, the educational and learning field is fulfilled because it
facilitates research. Even in other areas of work, there is software that allows
training and facilitates the exercise of various jobs.
Noura : Wow, that’s great ! But when you say it like that, it’s as if technology
had no disadvantages ; is that the case ?
Anzoumana : No, that is not the case. Like any human work, technology
unfortunately has its drawbacks. For example, technology has increased the
rate of depravation of morals. There is a proliferation of pornographic videos
and obscene scenes on social networks. There is also a new type of crime that
has developed because of technology, that is cyber criminality.

Teacher’s Book 1re 84


Noura : What can be done to protect teenagers from the drawbacks of
technology ?
Anzoumana : I think that technology with all its software and social networks
is a new phenomenon. We must therefore include in the school curriculum a
course on the use of technology by teenagers. In addition, parents must ensure
the proper use of ICT and social networks. They can go further by putting codes
on devices and software to control everything. This could keep teenagers away
from the dangers of technology.
Thank you very much brother, this discussion will allow me to do my
presentation on that topic at school tomorrow.

6- Ok
7- Wrong : I personally find computers nicer than phones.

LISTENING PASSAGE 1
Thanks to technology, today’s life is easier than in ancient time’s life. While a
smartphone, tablet, or computer can be a hugely productive tool, compulsive
use of these devices can interfere with work, school, and relationships. When
you spend more time on social media or playing games than you do interact
with real people, or you can’t stop yourself from repeatedly checking texts,
emails, or apps; even when it has negative consequences in your life ; it may
be time to reassess your technology use.
Smartphone addiction, sometimes colloquially known as “Nomophobia”
(fear of being without a mobile phone), is often fueled by an Internet overuse
problem or Internet addiction disorder. After all, it’s rarely the phone or tablet
itself that creates the compulsion, but rather the games, apps, and online
worlds it connects us to.
https : //www.helpguide.org/articles/addictions/smartphone-addiction.htm#

Teacher’s Book 1re 88


LISTENING PASSAGE 2
1- Technology is more important than transportation.
2- It is more fast than transportation.
3- The more beautiful invention for me is the computer.
4- Some people say that telephone is most useful than computer.
5- Computer is still the most necessarier of all technological inventions.
6- It is more efficient than the telephone in every way.
7- I personally find computer more nicer than phone.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Ask the students to read the communication activity. Make sure they understand
the task by asking a few questions about it. Explain the task to them to help them
better understand it if necessary. State a grouping mode, and time the activity,
then ask them to do it. Move around the classroom and provide help when needed.
When the time is over, tell them to stop. Finally, conduct feedback (Choose a few
students to present their mail. Ask the rest of the class to listen and react after
the presentation, concerning the mistakes.)
Example of email

To : robpierre@gmail.com
Object : Making calls is better than sending messages
The cell phone allows two modes of remote communication. Calls and
messages. A message is anything written or spoken and sent in a reduced
format that does not allow an instant exchange with the correspondent. As
for the call, it is defined as a direct communication with the correspondent,
by means of an instantaneous vocal exchange. Note that these two means of
communication have both advantages and disadvantages.
For example, messages have the quality of not disturbing the correspondent
in a meeting or in the middle of a work session. One of the particularities of
messages is their traceability and conservation.
As for calls, they have the advantage of putting the two correspondents in direct
contact. This makes it possible to know if the correspondent is reachable or not.
Calls also reassure that you are talking to the person you want to talk to.

89 Teacher’s Book 1re


However, in order to make a choice, one should consider the negative aspects
of calls.
Calls are more effective than messages when you want to know if the person
is reachable. Also, calls are more comfortable than messages. Messages
are more tiring than calls because they require prior intellectual work in
writing. Messages are delayed, which means that they are not suitable for
emergencies. Finally, calls are more confidential than messages. For all these
reasons, I prefer calls to messages.
I hope you will understand.
Good Bye and let’s keep in touch, my friend.
Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model.

3- Social, economic, daily life, and behaviours.

93 Teacher’s Book 1re


LISTENING PASSAGE
No single piece of technology, even failed technology, has had zero
impact on human society. Since “necessity is the mother of invention,” all
invented technology was created to meet the needs of society and is thus
innately tied to the culture and its populace’s behaviours. Once developed,
whatever problem is solved by the technology then alters the behaviours
and operations of the society, which may result in new problems, different
economic structures, or new ways of life, which may then give way to even
more technological innovations.

Example of speech
Hello, dear party members,
Good morning dear voters,
On this special day, I have been chosen to be the spokesperson for the party.
Today, we are going to talk about the political changes already made in Africa,
the ones we could suggest, and the contribution of good national politics to the
economic development of the country.
First of all, the main change made in the electoral process in Côte d’Ivoire,
our country, we can talk about the “And” / “Or” case. Speaking of “And”, this
situation obliged all the candidates in the presidential elections to be Ivorian
by father and mother. The change has allowed us to move to ‘’Or’’, that is to
say, from now on, a person who has only one Ivorian among his two parents,
can be a candidate for the presidential elections.

97 Teacher’s Book 1re


As new changes, we can propose for example the reduction of the duration of
a presidential mandate from 5 to 4 years as in the United States, this will allow
opponents to be more patient since the wait will not be as long as in the past.
In addition, we can propose a new law of life sentences for all the instigators
of Coups d’Etat. This new law will demotivate all those who would be tempted
to do so.
Finally, we believe that good national politics allow development in the sense
that it could attract investors. Moreover, good national politics favour peace,
social cohesion and therefore the economic prosperity of the country.
I hope dear voters that this speech will allow everyone to understand a good
number of things.
I thank you all.
Made in Abidjan on 18th April 2023.

101 Teacher’s Book 1re


Example

Hello, dear members of the group,


I have a message for you.
After listening to an audio on post-electoral violence in Africa, one of the
members of our common group thought it would be good for me to share some
information with you.
Indeed, the causes of post-election violence in Africa are more or less known
to all.
Candidates declared losers do not generally accept the results. Or the electoral
process is so riddled with irregularities that every one disputes the results.
Sometimes the sitting president does not want to give up power even though
he or she has lost.
This causes violence throughout the country. The consequences are tensions
all over the country, arrests, injuries and deaths in the country during the post-
election violence.
This must stop in our African countries. This requires a political education of
African citizens.
Africans must be trained and educated on the higher interest of the nation.
They must be categorical and refuse all proposals related to violence, war and
coups.

Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model.

LESSON 4 : WRITING

▶ LEAD-IN
Give the students a few minutes to discuss questions with neighbours, then
conduct feedback.
Expected answers :
▪ It refers to a writing format based on two contradictory positions
▪ a- Pros and cons essay

Learning context
Ask the students to read silently the learning context. Then choose a few
students to read it aloud to the class. Finally, ask a few questions about it.

Teacher’s Book 1re 102


POSSIBLE QUESTIONS EXPECTED ANSWERS
Who are the people who are going to write ? The students of our school.
On which topic are they going to write? On post-electoral violence .
What are they going to write ? A For and Against Essay.
Where will this essay be posted ? In the English Club Magazine.
What main skill are we going to develop ? It’s Writing.
▶ WRITING STRATEGIES
Go through the strategies for writing a For and Against Essay carefully with
your students. Go step by step to equip them with the necessary tools they
need to write that essay. Make sure they follow and understand.
A- Give a few minutes to your students to read the model text, then study it with
them.
B- Ask the students to do the task. Go around the class to supervise and give
help when necessary. When they are done, ask them to stop and conduct
feedback.
Expected answers :
1- Four parts.
2- 1st part : Introduction / 2nd part : For part (Arguments in favour) / 3rd part :
Against part (Arguments in contradiction) / 4th part : Conclusion.
3- The goal is to show that any topic may have two sides, the positive aspect
and the negative one. Nothing can achieve unanimity.

C- Ask the students to do the task. Go around the class to supervise and give
help when necessary. When they are done, ask them to stop and conduct
feedback.
The liberalization of school uniforms has some positive aspects. First of all, it
will allow all students to get out of the frustrations related to school uniforms.
Especially in primary schools and in remote areas and villages where buying
a school uniform is a luxury. Some parents do not have the financial means to
fulfill this mission. The liberalization would be a relief for them.
Contrarily to the above aspect, we note that the liberalization of school
uniforms would constitute a danger for the students themselves but also for
the school environment in general. Clearly, school dress allows students to be
identified and distinguished from those who are not. Thus, the liberalization
of this one would cause the infiltration in the school environment of thugs
and delinquents. This would cause damage in the school world.

103 Teacher’s Book 1re


Finally, the liberalization of school uniforms has both advantages and
disadvantages. The advantages are mainly financial, while the disadvantages
are security-related.
The government will have to carefully analyze the situation in order to choose
the lesser evil.

Picture analysis
Possible answers :
The two pictures show different types of demonstrations. They are all related to
politics in Africa. The protesters are clearly protesting against the political power
sitting, maybe against the political system set at that time.

▶ Phase 2
1- Political change is the modification of the political system. Political change
is all the changes, all the modifications related to the political system.
2- Political change occurs when a country’s government or leader changes.
Sometimes political change occurs every few decades.

2- Internal change is more representative of the will of the people.
3- External political change is the result of more powerful countries attempting
to assert influence in a region.

Listening passage
There are two types of political change, internal and external. Most often,
internal change is more representative of the will of the people and
generally external political change is the result of more powerful countries
attempting to assert influence in a region. However, both changes can have
positive effects on the people living in the country and on the stability of the
government.

Teacher’s Book 1re 110


Example of dialogue

Gbala : Hello Mr Tohaly. I heard that you are against the conservation of our
traditional culture.
Tohaly : Hello Mr Gbala. Yes, I’m against that. I don’t see the utility of these
barbaric things in an increasingly modern world.
Gbala : First of all you must know the definition of African culture. African
culture is all the artistic, traditional, religious and identity heritage of our
African ancestors. To answer your question, I can say that the utility of these
things is the preservation of our identity. Our traditional culture is our identity.
Tohaly : Which identity are you talking about ? I already have my National
Identity Card. I don’t need these things to know my identity anymore.
Gbala : No, you are wrong ! Each people has its own culture, there is an element
that characterizes them. Even the Westerners that you want to follow in their
modernity do not abandon their traditional culture. For example, they have
cultural events like Halloween. So those things are important for young people,
they must know their origin.
Tohaly : Oh, now I understand ! You mean that we have to keep some cultural
elements in order not to disappear. We must promote our heritage such as
arts, dances, and masks that are specific to us.
Gbala : Exactly ! You have understood everything, my brother. Some promoting
events, some traditional attractions like the “Popo Carnival”, the “Generation
Festival’’ in “Ebrié and Adjoukrou” communities must be our tools to preserve
African culture.
Tohaly : Thank you. You’ve helped me understand. From now on, I commit
myself to fighting for the preservation of our cultural heritage.

when needed. When the time is over, tell them to stop. Finally, conduct feedback
(Choose some of them to perform their dialogue in front of the class. Ask the rest
of the class to listen and react after the presentation concerning the mistakes.)
As this format is the same as the previous one (Dialogue), we could take the
communication activity of the previous lesson as a model to help the students
write their own.

Learning context
Ask the students to read the learning context silently. Then choose a few
students to read it aloud to the class. Finally, ask a few questions about it.

113 Teacher’s Book 1re


POSSIBLE QUESTIONS EXPECTED ANSWERS
What are you going to do ? We are going to listen to a podcast
What for ? For discussing its theme.
With whom are you going to discuss ? With our Nigerian pen-friends.
What will the lesson be about ? It will be about the significance of
clothes in African Culture.
What main skill are we going to develop ? It’s Listening.

▶ LISTENING ACTIVITIES
Make your students read the instructions for each activity before they listen.
For each task, make them listen to the podcast once or twice. Then, conduct
feedback.
A- Ask the students to listen to the podcast and choose the statement that best
summarizes it. They should do it individually.
Expected answers : 3- the importance of African clothing
B- Ask the students to do the task as they are listening to the podcast again.
They do it individually first, then allow them a few minutes to compare their
answers with their neighbours’.
Expected answers :
1- We recognise the monk by his dress.
2- We know that by the outfit this person wears.
3- The clothing style of each people is considered as its trademark.
4- The cultural diversity is made by the fact that each region has its own clothing
style and this creates diversity during traditional ceremonies.

LISTENING PASSAGE
The place of clothing in African culture is very important. Although it is said
that the dress does not make the monk, it is necessary to note that one
recognizes the monk by his dress. This being said, according to the outfit worn
by a person, in Africa, we can know where he comes from. In most cases, each
people has their own dress, considered as their trademark. In Côte d’Ivoire for
example, the regions are identifiable through their clothing. This is what makes
the cultural diversity of Côte d’Ivoire. All the people are formidably dressed
during traditional ceremonies.

Teacher’s Book 1re 114


COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Ask the students to read the communication activity. Make sure they understand
the task by asking a few questions about it. Explain the task to help them better
understand it if necessary. Set the grouping mode and time the activity and ask
them to do it. Then, move around the classroom and provide help when needed.
When the time is over, tell them to stop. Finally, conduct feedback (Choose a few
students to present their paragraph. Ask the rest of the class to listen and react
after the presentation concerning the mistakes.)
■ Example
In this paragraph, I would like to talk about African traditional costumes. The
African traditional costumes are diverse and are very important in African
culture. Their importance is first of all at the level of cultural identity. Clearly,
people can be quickly recognized by the clothes they wear. Thus, we can
easily distinguish a people A from a people B and promote cultural mixing or
prevent cultural errors. To go further, there are clothes that belong to a given
hierarchical class. For example, there are outfits of kings, outfits of notables,
outfits of village There are even outfits adapted to each ceremony in Africa,
there are costumes for joy and there are others for moments of sadness. As
for the Ivorian outfits, there is the Kamandje, the Kaftan, the Tapa, the Kita,
the Kogora and the Bogolan to name a few. If I have an outfit to advise you, it
would be the Bubu, because it is wide, it is allowed in all regions and it goes
in all types of ceremonies.
Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model.

LESSON 4 : WRITING

Teacher’s Book 1re 116


Example of production

As traditional events vary from place to place, so do their characteristics. Like


the “Fatchwè” ceremony in Ghana, there is a traditional ceremony in Côte d’Ivoire
that particularly attracts my attention, it is the rice festival in “Béthé” land.
It is a festival of rejoicing that marks the end of the rice harvest, the main
foodstuff in the Béthé world. The preparation of the festival is done over a long
period of time and requires a lot of creativity from the organizers. Once the
harvest period has arrived, each family harvests its rice and divides it into three
unequal parts. The first part is reserved for the family’s consumption, the second
part is reserved for marketing, and the third part is reserved for the next sowing.
The general preparation consists of getting new clothes, preparing sketches
and traditional dances. Once the ceremony begins, there is a parade of different
families with a quantity of rice in their hands to represent the fruit of their
efforts, that is to say, the abundant harvest that they have made.
Different rice meals are presented and distributed for direct consumption to
the delight of all participants in the festival. After that comes the part of the
artistic performances such as the sketch, songs and especially the dance
“Gbégbé”, cultural identity of the people Béthé. One can hear the crowd
shouting and jubilating to the sound of the drums while accompanying the
dancers with the dance performances. Béthé. One can hear the crowd shouting
and jubilating to the sound of the drums while accompanying the dancers with
the dance performances.
The ceremony ends with a fashion show to designate the best-dressed man and
woman of the party. This is the perfect opportunity to discover the Béthé people
in all their splendour. The family that has made the largest harvest in the village
is also designated. This initiative is taken to encourage all the families to give the
best of themselves at work, for self-sufficiency in rice in the village.
To end our story, let us remember that each region has its own traditional
ceremony and this is what makes its identity. There are warriors’ festivals and
festivals of rejoicing as in the case of the story we have just told. We believe
that we have contributed to the knowledge of the young generations for the
conservation of our cultural heritage through this story of the rice festival in
the Béthé land. That’s why I invite you next year to my country to see the same
festival so that you will understand everything.

Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model.

Listening passage
The vast majority of people living in Africa are indigenous; however, people
from all over the world have migrated to Africa for hundreds of years. Arabs
began crossing into North Africa from the Middle East in the 7th century,
A.D., bringing with them the religion of Islam. Europeans began settling in
the southern portion of the continent in the mid-17th century, as did South
Asians, who settled in the areas of Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.
Over the centuries, African culture has meshed with cultures from around
the world, although much of the traditional African customs have remained
throughout.

Example of dialogue
Georges : You know what ? I like fashion brands, and I wear them all the time.
They make me feel special.
Kader : I see… Do you know the impact of the big fashion brands on the
environment ?
Georges : They make stylish clothes, and nowadays their items are not too
expensive. That’s what I know.
Kader : ok. It’s true they make stylish clothes. Do you know that this industry
is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions worldwide? That is to say
that with the big fashion factories and the amount of energy used to produce
clothes on a large scale, the industry contributes a lot to climate change.
Georges : I didn’t use to see things from this angle.
Kader : Besides, the garment industry generally produces clothing items in
poor countries where employees sometimes work in inhumane conditions.
Examples of these countries are Thailand, Bangladesh. In China for instance
the situation of the Uighurs, a minority religious group used as manpower in big
fashion companies, is constantly provoking denunciation from international
Humans’ Rights NGOs.
Georges : I get your point, but we all like fashion. Don’t we ?
Kader : We all do! But if as customers we become sensible about issues like the
environment and human rights violations, we can decide to boycott products
made by fashion brands who do not respect them. Unfortunately, the vast
majority of the big fashion brands do not care about sustainable development.
Georges : You mean we should wear garments which are eco-friendly even if
they are not fashion brands ?
Kader : Exactly ! The most important thing is to wear decent clothes whose
production is not detrimental to the environment, not to enrich companies who
don’t care about future generations.
Georges : That’s totally correct ! If our customers change, the big fashion
brands will follow the movement and commit to sustainable development.
Kader : Absolutely !

Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model.

when needed. When the time is over, tell them to stop. Finally, conduct feedback
(Choose a few groups to present their discussions. Ask the rest of the class to
listen and react afterwards to errors and mistakes.)
Example of paragraph

Fashion can be presented as the prevailing trend over a certain period of time.
In clothing style, for example, fashion items include shirts, T-shirts, jeans,
shorts and accessories like caps, hats, belts, jewellery, etc…
For me, it’s not necessary to follow fashion and there are many reasons for
this. Indeed, I believe the number one reason for wearing clothes is to cover
our nudity. If we get ordinary clothes to help us reach that simple goal, then
it’s fine; and these “simple” clothes are generally cheaper than fashionable
clothing items. Buying fashionable garments can be very expensive, and it’s no
surprise that it is the choice of the richest.
In short, we definitely don’t have to follow fashion to have decent clothes to put on.

Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model.

PRONUNCIATION

C- Listening for specific information. (Proceed as in the previous activity)


Expected answers : 1- unique ; 2- revolution ; 3- credit ; 4- preference ; 5- average.

LISTENING PASSAGE
The African landscape of digital payments is quite unique. Data on digital
payment platforms in Africa shows that mobile money payments with M-Pesa
were much more common than those made with African credit cards. Mostly
unknown in advanced economies, mobile money represents a revolution in other
markets, making financial services easily accessible throughout the country,
including remote rural areas. Mobile money allows customers to receive, store,
and spend money using a mobile phone even without internet access.
Another common payment method used for e-commerce is cash-on-delivery.
In economies with low credit card penetration and less trust in digital payments
made in advance, cash-on-delivery remains a common payment method.
Other characteristics which define online shopping in specific markets are
consumer preferences on what to buy online. A survey conducted by Statista
in several African countries investigated the items consumers in Egypt, Kenya,
Morocco, South Africa, and Nigeria, prefer to buy online. In all these countries,
digital buyers stated to purchase clothing, shoes, and consumer electronics
online. Despite the rapid growth of the e-commerce sector on the continent,
online shopping in Africa still lags behind the global average, even in Africa’s
driving markets. According to recent data, some 41 percent of internet users
in Egypt make online purchases. In South Africa, the share of digital buyers is
around 47 percent, while the worldwide average is 58 percent.

to do it. Then, move around the classroom and provide help when needed. When the
time is over, tell them to stop. Finally, conduct feedback (Choose a few students to
present their discussions. Ask the rest of the class to listen and react afterwards.)

■ Example of talk
Good morning, friends !
Nowadays, people can purchase items in two different ways: buying in
physical shops or online. Even if the latter form of shopping experience is
gaining momentum in our era of information and communication technologies,
my view is that buying in physical shops is more beneficial.
In fact, shopping in physical stores develops social relationships because
people have face-to-face discussions, and bargain prices in some cases.
Such interpersonal relationship is crucial in securing the loyalty of clients.
Furthermore, the customer has the opportunity to see, touch, and feel the
actual thing he/she wants to buy.
As we can notice from the advantages listed above which may be missing
in online shopping, we can clearly say that in-store shopping offers a better
shopping experience, especially for the customer.
Thank you.

■ Example of exposé
Hello everyone.
I’m going to talk to you about the topic “Does money procure more happiness
than human presence?” I will start by showing the truth in such a position,
and then its limits before giving my position on the issue.
On the one hand, money may procure more happiness because it allows a
person to buy whatever he/she wants, and satisfy his / her material needs

137 Teacher’s Book 1re


including those of his / her parents. As a matter of fact, being able to afford
whatever we need procures a great feeling of happiness.
On the other hand, human presence can have a more decisive impact on a
person’s happiness. This is the example of people who though they are very
rich, but for some reasons like sickness, disability or imprisonment don’t
enjoy the presence of close parents or friends. The result of such a situation
is that they live in misery despite all the wealth they have.
All in all, we can retain that both money and human presence are important
in people’s happiness ; and the lack of either condition will negatively impact
our quest for happiness.
Thank you for your attention.

Note that this production is a mere example. Any good production from the
students should be reinforced and put on the board as a model.

Friendship is one of the most valuable things in life and to mark the importance
of this beautiful relationship, Friendship Day is observed every year. One might
meet and enjoy with their friends every other day, but it is only fair to have a day
dedicated to celebrating this unmatchable bond. As such, every year the first
Sunday in the month of August is celebrated as Friendship Day. This year, it falls
on August 7. While the United Nations has declared July 30 as International
Friendship Day, India continues to celebrate it on the first Sunday of August.
This day was first proposed in 1958 in Paraguay. However, it is known to have
originated in 1930 from Hallmark cards, by Joyce Hall. It is a day to celebrate
the role close friends play in our lives, and how they shape us as people. People
usually celebrate Friendship Day by tying a friendship band on each other’s
wrists. It is treated as a promise to be each other’s best friends forever. On this
day, friends enjoy each other’s company and go out to have a good time. They
even send greetings to each other and exchange gifts and flowers.

Example of production

Hello Sydney
I received your recent letter, and I’m very sorry for what happened to you. I had
a similar experience a week ago you know... .
I went to a restaurant to have some “Garba”, a popular dish made of cassava
semolina and fried tuna. I ordered my garba and chose my piece of fish, which
was accompanied by chopped pepper, tomato and onion. I was really eager to
enjoy my meal, but, as I tasted the fish, I noticed it was rotten… I parted the fish
and smelled it… and understood there was something wrong with that fish.
I showed it to the seller. He recognized that I was right and kindly offered to
change the piece of fish I’d chosen ; which he did. So after the problem was
settled, I happily returned to my table and enjoyed my meal.
Hopefully, there was a happy ending in my situation, but you didn’t get that
chance. With the amount of money you put into the purchase of the mobile
phone, I think you should’ve been more prudent with the false good bargain
presented to you. Let’s beware of too good bargains, brother !
Kind regards
Alex
