Think, pair, share: p20:

A century ago, life was completely different from what it is now. People
used to leave in large families, in small houses. Most children didn’t go to
school, because there were only fez schools. Most people were farmers
they had to work the hand using animals and simple tools. Some of them
were craftsmen. They made the different equipment that they needed qt
home and at work. In their free time, they used to go to the cinema. Most
people used to travel on foot or on horse back. Today, life has became
easier…

There are three major threats to our civilization: catastrophes,
pollution and diseases.

First, the natural catastrophes like earthquake that are devastating

phenomena, fires destroy most areas of forests. Floods cause terrible
damage, both in cites and rural regions. As a result many people die and
most of their properties are lost.
Second, pollution is a man-made phenomenon. Factories and cars
pour smoke in the atmosphere. There are also nuclear wastes which are
thrown in seas and oceans conseperently, there are climatic changes.
In the third place, the serious disasters that threaten the lives of people
in different countries, even in developed countries, there are diseases
that have no cure, such as: aids and cancer. Therefore, it would a better
idea to encourage scientific research and use money to make cures for
these diseases rather than using it to fence wars.
To conclude with, I think that we have to care about our civilization
others it will disappear.

Corruption is an evil that must be fought now! In order do win this fight
we urge all people to unite around us.
If I were elected head of state, I would make an anticorruption
programme. First, I would appoint honest civil servants, because stealing
money is immoral. Next, I would pass stringent laws in order to punish
corrupt people and embezzlers. I would also fight tax evasion and capital
plight. Those who earn a lot must pay their taxes to help develop our
economy. Finally, I think we should teach our children what is to love
work and what is trust.
To conclude with, I would tell you than the role of citizens very important
to fight corruption, no government can succeed with out the help of
citizens.

An opinion article some people argue that counterfeiting benefits
consumers by gyring then access to lower price goods.
I totally disagree with this claims.
First, Imitated goods are of pour quality they do not last for very long,
they are also unsafe, for example car parts may kill passengers and
drivers.
Second, fake medicines represent a real danger on people’s health, they
may cause disease that can not be cured.
Third, it is immoral to reproduce what other invented counterfeiters had
better improve the existing brands.
Forth, the countries that do not attempt to stop counterfeiting become the
best destination to all criminal organization formal over the world.
I wish all citizens were aware of this social and economic evil.
