GUIDE D’UTILISATION DES CONTENUS NUMÉRIQUES DE JD ÉDITIONS.
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.
We hope you have a great time using our books. Have fun teaching !

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Note : The production below is a mere example. Other similar productions can be
accepted. Guide students so that they can produce their dialogues by themselves.
Example of dialogue
Jonathan : Hi, my friend. I’m having a stay in Côte d’Ivoire. Would you like to
help me visit some tourist sites ?
You : Yes, of course.
Jonathan : Can you give me some of the famous tourist sites worth seeing ?
You : I can name some places like : the Taï Forest ; the Waterfalls in Man ;
the Liana bridge of Man ; the Basilica of our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro
; the Beaches of Monogaga (Grand Béréby) ; the National Parc of Banco ; the
National Museum ; etc.
Jonathan : Wow, you’ve got an attractive country. I will be glad to visit one of
those places before flying back home.
You : It will be my pleasure to serve as your guide. Unfortunately, too many
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 ?
You : They have reviewed and improved some regulations. Thanks to the efforts
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.
Jonathan : You are welcome.

■ 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.

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

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.

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.

LISTENING PASSAGE
Students listen to the audio and take notes.
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.
D- TIME TO TALK
Go through the recommendations with your students to help them succeed
in their presentations.

■ 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.
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.
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.

This section deals with specific grammar or vocabulary points of the unit.
The section gives a real opportunity for your learners 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.
▶ 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.
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.

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.

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.
LESSON 4 : WRITING
▶ LEAD-IN
Give the students a few minutes to discuss the questions. Then, conduct
feedback.
Possible answers :
▪ It is a writing format.
▪ I know three types of essays : Narrative essay / Argumentative essay / For
and Against essay.
▪ It refers to an essay in which you give your opinion about a topic with
arguments to support your viewpoint.
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.

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 work.
Ask the rest of the class to listen and react when a mistake appears.)

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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 2 : SPEAKING
▶ LEAD-IN

students to pronounce them aloud to the class. Invite the class to appreciate
their mates’ pronunciations of the words.
LESSON 3 : LISTENING
▶ LEAD-IN
Tell the students to look at the pictures for a while and try to answer the
questions.
Possible answers :
1- We can see in these pictures two groups of people wearing two different
clothes styles.
2- I think it is the group wearing Bubu (Group A).
3- Yes, we can. Because each dress belongs to a particular region. These people
might be from the North of Côte d’Ivoire.
Learning context

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.

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 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.

answers with their neighbours. For feedback, play the passage again for the
students to know why their answers are correct or not.
Expected answers : 1- F ; 2- F ; 3- T ; 4- F ; 5- T ; 6- F
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.
Adapted from https://www.statista.com/topics/7288/e-commerce-in-africa/#dossierKeyfigures.
■ 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.

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

LISTENING PASSAGE
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
