 UNIT 1 – READING COMPREHENTION –

EDUCATION IN GREAT BRITAIN

In Great Britain children start going to school when they are 5 and continue studying until they are 16 or
older. Compulsory education begins at the age of 5 when children go to primary school. Primary education lasts
for 6 years. First they attend infant school from five to seven.
In infant school children don’t have real classes. They get acquainted with the classroom, desks, play
and learn through playing. They learn numbers and how to add them.
When the children are seven they go to junior school which they attend until eleven. Boys and girls
study at junior school for four years. There they have classes, read and write, do mathematics. Then they go to
secondary school.
There are some types of secondary school in Great Britain. They are grammar schools, modern schools
and comprehensive. One can attend modern school but students of a modern school don’t learn foreign
languages.
If they go to grammar school they will have a good secondary education. This type of school is the most
popular in England. At secondary school pupils study English, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History, Art,
Music, Foreign languages and Physical training (PT). English, Math, Science are called “core” subjects. Pupils
take examinations in the core subjects at the age of 7, 11 and 14.

UNIT 3 – Health and welfare –

Obesity: the number 1 problem in America

[Par1] The World Health Organization has recently released the results of health
surveys taken between 2000 and 2008 on world obesity. The United States is the 3rd fattest
country in the world. 66.7% of the population is obese. So, why are there so many obese
kids and adults in America? Is it because of the fast food restaurants? Is it because of
technology? Is it because of the schools? Actually, it is all of that, but this text focuses on
the schools’ contribution to obesity.
[Par2] Take my school for example. Every day, my school's cafeteria serves greasy pizza,
French fries, greasy hamburgers, chocolate milk, and deep fried chicken nuggets. See what I
mean? Schools all around the U.S. are serving kids unhealthy food, which contributes to teen
obesity. The most common lunch from the cafeteria I see is pizza, fries, and chocolate milk.
[Par3] Of course there is more to obesity than food. The other major thing that contributes
to obesity is physical exercise. Some kids at school don't even have a gym class, or recess, which
only contributes to teen obesity. Studies also show that you are also more likely to have more
energy if you get daily exercise. It also helps you maintain your body weight and keep your
metabolism up.
[Par4] Would you believe it if I said that homework can also contribute to obesity? Well it does. Nowadays
kids have so much homework that they sometimes don't have enough time to go outside and play, which is a big
problem if you don't have gym or recess.
[Par5] So you see, schools are greatly responsible for teen obesity. And it's time to do something about it. So
what I want you to do is don't order lunch from the school's cafeteria. Get outside and ride a bike, or something to
get you active. I guarantee it will be the smartest decision you will ever make.

UNIT 4: READING COMPREHENSION

Acid rain
[1] Historically, air pollution comes from industries and transport. Factories, power
stations, and cars burn oil and coal. This rises into the air as different forms of
sulphur and nitrogen. The sulphur and nitrogen combine with water in the air to make
sulphuric or nitric acid. This falls to the ground as acid rain.

[2] We burn large quantities of coal and oil, and this creates millions of tonnes of
acid rain. The wind carries the rain long distances, and this creates problems. One
country makes acid rain, and it falls to the ground in another country, for example,
Canada gets a lot of acid rain from the USA, and Norway gets a lot of acid rain from
Britain.
coal : ‫فحم‬ oil : ‫ وقود‬/ ‫بترول‬ sulphur: ‫كبريت‬

The greenhouse effect

[3] Industrial countries also cause the greenhouse effect (also called “global
warming” or “climate change”). Burning coal and oil produces carbon dioxide (CO2).
The (CO2) increases in the Earth’s atmosphere, and retains heat from the sun (it works
like the glass in a greenhouse- it lets heat in, but doesn’t let the heat out).

[4] The Earth is getting hotter. Weather patterns are changing: some places have
no water for years, and some places have floods. When a country has no water, the
effects are very hard- in Chile in 1999, the result was electricity cuts around the country. There was no water for the hydro-
electric power stations.
carbon dioxide : ‫ثاني أ كسيد الكربون‬ atmosphere : ‫غالف جوي‬ heat : ‫حرارة‬
Ozone layer depletion
[5] The ozone layer is a band of gas around the Earth. It protects us from dangerous ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the
sun. It is vital to human and animal survival. Unfortunately, we are producing chemicals which destroy the ozone layer. The
damage starts in the Antarctic and spreads. Sheep in the Magallanes are becoming blind
because the ozone layer is thinner. In Australia, a lot of people are getting skin cancer from
the sun.

depletion: ‫تدمير‬/‫إتال ف‬ ultraviolet: ‫فوق بنفسجيت‬ radiation: ‫أشعت‬

 Leisure and Entertainment
A-………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The British spend their free time in different ways. People generally use it to relax, but many people
also do voluntary work, especially for charities.
B……………………………………………………………………………………………………
A lot of free time is spent in the home, where the most popular leisure activity is watching television,
the average viewing time being 25 hours a week. People often record programs on video so that they can
watch later, and video recorders are also used for watching videos hired from a video rental shop.
C-……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Reading is also a favourite way of spending leisure time. The British spend a lot of time reading
newspapers and magazines.
D-………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the summer gardening is popular, and in winter it is often replaced by “do-it-yourself”, when people
spend their time improving or repairing their homes. Many people have pets to look after; taking the dog for a
daily walk is a regular routine.
E-……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Some leisure activities are mostly or entirely social. Inviting friends for a drink or a meal at the pub is
the most usual one. Sometimes people join friends for a drink in a pub, or have dinner in a restaurant. A visit
to a pub often includes a game, for example billiards or darts.
F-…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The extra leisure time available at weekends means that some leisure activities, many of them to do
with sport, normally take place only then. Traditional spectator sports include football, cricket, horse racing,
motor racing and motor cycle racing. Popular forms of exercise are swimming, tennis, ice-skating or roller
skating, cycling, climbing, and hill or country walking.
G-
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Families often have a “day out” at the weekend, especially in summer, with a visit to a local event
such as a festival, fair or show. Young people especially go to clubs and discos, while people of all ages go to
the theatre, the cinema, art – exhibitions and concerts.

 - READING COMPREHENSION -

[1] The mass media play an important part in our lives. Newspapers, radio and especially TV inform us of what is
going on in this world and give us wonderful possibilities for education , entertainment, and communication. They also
influence the way we see the world. They can change our views.
[2] Of course, not all newspapers , TV programmes, , news presenters, radio commentators, or entertainers report
events objectively all the time. In other words, they can be clearly biased sometimes. However, there are many serious
journalists and TV reporters who try to be as fair and professional as possible. They try to provide us with reliable
information. Some people say that journalists are given too much freedom. They often intrude on people’s private lives.
They follow celebrities and print sensational stories about them which can be untrue or half-true often times. You’ve
probably heard of the “paparazzi” ; they are independent photographers who take pictures of
athletes, entertainers, politicians, and other celebrities, typically while going about their usual life routines. The questionis -
should this be allowed ?
[3] It is true that the world today is full of dramatic events, and most news seems to be bad news, but people aren’t
interested in ordinary events anymore. That is why there are so many TV programmes and articles about natural disasters,
plane crashes, wars, murders and robberies. Good news doesn’t usually make headlines. Bad news does.
[4] One main source of news for millions of people is television. People like TV news because they can see everything
with their own eyes, and that’s an important advantage. Seeing, as we know, is believing. Besides, it’s much more difficult
for politicians to lie in front of the cameras than on the front pages of newspapers. Still, others prefer the radio. It’s good
to listen to the radio while in the car, or in the open air, or while you you’re doing something around the house.
Newspapers don’t react to events as quickly as TV does, but they usually provide us with extra details, comments and
background information. The Internet has recently become another important source of information. Its main advantage is
that news appears on the screen as soon as things happen in real life and you don’t have to wait for news time on TV.
1. This text is about :

 The Imilchil marriage ceremony takes place in the Atlas Mountains every year at
the end of September. Two main Amazigh tribes participate in the festival, the Ait
hadidu and Ait ouazza. Hundreds of young men and women meet and marry at the
three-day event. The festival is celebrated with great food, Aheydus music and
dancing. And it also offers an occasion for trading in which Berbers sell their sheep,
goats, mules or camels, and buy tea, sugar and other things to support their lonely
existence in the mountains for another year.

The Future brides wear all their jewellery of silver and amber. They also wear
colorful clothes, mainly blue, white and red shawls. Some of them are veiled, while
the others like to show off their beauty. Their cheeks are colored with rouge and
kohl in their eyes. They wear a rounded headdress if they have never been
married before or a pointed one if they are divorced or widowed.

On the last day of the Moussem, all the newly married couples must go to the
lakes Isli and Tislite for a traditional visit. It is believed that long ago a young man
loved a young girl whose parents did not approve because they were from
different tribes. The couple ran away and cried all night and their tears created the
two lakes. At the end of the day, the married couples go back to their tribes on
their donkeys and mules.
