prepare a short talk about the following topic
"modern civilisation has kept changing at fast space
A century ago, people were able to live in better conditions than their parents
thanks to the progress made in science and technology. But in practice, the
outcome of this progress was slow to materialise. For instance, most people
still used to travel long distances on foot or by stage coach. And as
mechanisation was not introduced significantly in daily activities, household
chores still had to be done manually, and were therefore time consuming.
On the other hand, community life was still an asset for social cohesion, since
people had more opportunities to meet and interact. So they were able to chat
with neighbors at shops or in clubs and have a cup of coffee with friends or
relatives and tell stories and jokes. Likewise, family visits were frequent and
kept the folklore alive, with the grandparents who used to tell traditional
tales or sing lullabies or folk songs to their grandchildren. Unfortunately,
with the development of audiovisual means such as the cinema, radio, television
and then personal appliances like the computer, CD-roms and DVDs, the chances
of socialisation are dwindling and the lack of interaction between people may
increase stress, loneliness and anxiety.
Could we then complain that we are missing out on some ingredients in life
which used to make our great grandparents happier? This is probably so, since
closer contacts among neighbours, friends and families had to be beneficial for
communal harmony. However, scientific progress in all fields, particularly in
medicine, modes of transportation and communication, and agribusiness can only
show that our lives are today quite fulfilling and, if anything, more
comfortable than a century ago.

write an essay about the challenges faced by modern civilisation
There are three major threats to our civilisation, which can lead to the
destruction of mankind. We have first nuclear energy, which has been a constant
liability ever since the explosion of atomic bombs in 1945; there is also
pollution, a major cause for concern with the massive and noxious increase in
industrial activities and mechanisation; finally, climate change constitutes
another threat, as an outcome of the first two mentioned problems.
The escalation of nuclear weaponry since World War Two has exposed humanity to
a nuclear war that would not compare at all with Hiroshima
and Nagasaki,
since it could wipe out life on earth many times over. The Cold War was a period
of tension between the two most heavily equipped nations in terms of nuclear
warheads, the USA and the USSR. The
Détente that came after did not suppress all worries, since other countries
have the bomb, and could use it any time.
There are also indirect consequences to owning nuclear energy. Indeed, a lethal
form of pollution can originate from it if accidents in nuclear power plants
occur. But apparently less dangerous forms of pollution, generated by an ever-
increasing industrialisation, can also cause severe illnesses and deaths. We
can think of all the chemicals dumped by factories underground, or in rivers
and seas, or of the enormous amounts of smoke emitted in the air by factories
and vehicles. All of these are causing all sorts of illnesses in humans and
threatening wildlife.
Apart from these direct consequences, the third threat to our civilisation,
climate change, is directly related to the first two mentioned. Smoke has
resulted in the greenhouse effect, responsible for the increase in mean
temperature in the world. Consequently, the ice caps in the north and south
poles are shrinking, the sea level is rising, rains have become irregular,
hurricanes are more frequent, monsoons are more destructive, droughts have
intensified, and have reached usually wet parts of the world. Therefore, the
danger of famine is real , and can even lead to dramatic wars over the
possession of the meagre resources remaining. Surely the impending threat of
nuclear warfare, and the lethal chemicals spread in the environment make the
world a dangerous place to live. The tons of smoke sent out in the atmosphere
also constitute a health hazard, and are responsible for climate change. There
are indeed urgent measures to be taken by governments to make human activities
safer if our civilisation is to survive and thrive.
subject 03
write an opinion article about counterfeiting disadvantages
Some people argue that counterfeiting benefits consumers by giving them access
to lower-price goods. This is a totally mistaken claim. First, imitated goods
are poor quality and do not last long. There is then no guarantee of value for
money and more importantly, that fake goods are not safe. Imagine how much
damage low quality parts fitted in a car can do to the driver and passengers
when they fail!
Secondly, if we think of fake foods or medicines, and the criminal procedures
used by the people who make them, we can only remain firm on buying genuine
products. There are several cases of substitute edibles which have caused
dangerous diseases to people and which have resulted in long-lasting law suits.
The outcomes could only be compensations paid for irreparable damage but the
moral damage caused to the victims can never be repaired! Recent figures
released by the European Union show that the customs are confiscating 100
million fake items every year.
Thirdly, it is highly immoral to reap where other people have sown. Pirating
products is indeed imitating other people’s property, and refusing to engage in
a creative act. It is much more rewarding to turn one’s abilities to creating
new objects of value that could serve the community, or improve the performance
of existing ones.
Fourthly, pirating objects is by essence theft, especially when the producer of
a fake item affixes the label of a well-known trade mark on it. Some countries
are notorious for their practice of counterfeit objects. One wouldn’t like
Algerians to be known for practising this dubious trade, as much as one
wouldn’t like to see them buy cheap, fake products and head into unsuspected
troubles.
subject 04
write a letter to a friend describing your school
Dear Linda,
Today, I’ll write to you about my school. And the least I can say is that I
feel quite happy and comfortable in it.
First, let me mention its old stone building, surrounded by a nice flower
garden. The flowers are carefully arranged, and in spring, they give off a nice
scent when we head for the classes through the garden. Further back, there are
two large courtyards with enough space and benches to play or relax. There are
also big, ancient olive trees near the walls, where birds perch and nest. We
can hear them warble and chirp all year round.
Let me also describe my classroom. It is large and well decorated, with
old-fashioned brown desks, and posters and pictures all over the walls. And
then, there are those cabinets full of books which smell of old paper.
Actually, I like borrowing a book from to time and dream of all the adventures
and mysteries I read about.
I’ll finally say a few words about my teachers. I’m lucky to have such good and
considerate people around me. They are so keen to see the students do well.
They are always prepared to answer our questions, and they really want to make
sure we understand the hard parts of the lessons and exercises. I like the way
teachers get us involved. They surely have children of their own at school,
which explains why they understand how we feel.
So if there is one good reason why I like my school, it surely is because the
teaching staff are so caring, and so friendly. I can’t dream of a better
school!
subject 05
prepare a speech about the the possible changes that are likely to happen in
our lifestyle
We may live a totally different life in the next few decades because modernity
has brought with it a new life style. Nowadays people take less time to eat, go
to fast food shops to gulp hamburgers, hot dogs and chips. In the future, we
might have conventional food being replaced by food substitutes like pills, or
we might get our nutrients out of crude oil; that would shorten meal times even
further. Conversely, many people are prepared to spend more time shopping in
supermarkets (and even on the Internet). A lot of them are now becoming
shopaholics, buying products that they don’t really need. Their number will
rise further in the near future.
This is partly because it is much easier to shop, especially as more and more
supermarkets are equipped with fast serving cash desks which prevent long
queues. In the future, shop assistants may be replaced by robots which could
actually do the same job as them, with greater efficiency and in less time.
That of course would probably have side effects like an increase in
unemployment.
Leisure will also change, because of the development of all sorts of electronic
devices, like the multimedia, cable television and other contrivances. People
will be less tempted to go out for a film, a play or a concert. They’ll pay
even less visits to each other because the cell phone is such a convenient way
to keep in touch. And what to say about the Internet through which people can
instantly chat with and watch each other via the web cam! Alternatively, we’ll
have more free time to enjoy holidays at lower prices in distant places. But is
this life of the future the kind of life people would like to have? Couldn’t
modernity preserve social relations and be a means to an end rather than an end
in itself?
subject 06
food safety
Food safety has become one of the major worries for mankind. This worry has
three major sources: the chemical contamination of agricultural products, the
use of additives, preservatives and colourings in a large number of food
products and the consumption of ready-made food.
Perhaps the first cause for worry about food safety is the highly intensive
mode of farming and agribusiness now prevailing in industrialised countries.
This has led big companies to use chemicals, fertilisers and pesticides to
ensure maximum output. As a result, fruits and vegetables are contaminated by
chemicals which may prove harmful to our health.
The second cause for concern is again related to mass production, and the need
to keep products fresh and attractive. Consumer requirements have led
manufacturers to introduce colourings, additives and preservatives. Some of
them have been suspected of being dangerous while others have definitely been
classified as harmful by independent research laboratories. Scientists maintain
that some colourings and sugar substitutes can cause cancer, diabetes and other
****bolic disorders.
Finally, fast food and ready-made meals have led people to take undesirable
eating habits, like nibbling at work or at home, or having frequent snacks in
front of the computer or the TV set. More worrying is the fact that the younger
generation are the most prone to consume fast food and soft drinks. These
eating habits, as shown in “advanced” countries especially, have caused a large
part of the population to become overweight or obese, and to develop diseases
like diabetes or high blood pressure. These are due to an excess consumption of
animal fat and fried food, as well as sugar and salt.
In conclusion, the conjunction of contaminated agricultural products, processed
foods and poor eating habits is indeed a good reason to worry about food safety
and to take corrective measures to change or improve our attitudes to eating.
