Topic 1: Cancel culture
Activity 1
"Cancel culture" seems to have started as an internet

joke. Now it's anything but.1
Getting "canceled" frequently (1. To play) out the same way: A person — whether famous or not
— (2. To say) or (3. To do) something controversial and the backlash on social media (4. To
follow) swiftly.
Whether the public punishment (5. To correspond) to the act that sparked it may be up for
debate, but the growing number of such incidents has fueled controversy over what's become
known as "cancel culture." Critics of cancel culture say the process stifles free expression, (6. To
inhibit) the exchange of ideas and keeps people from straying from their comfort zones. Others,
however, (7. To argue) that it has empowered people to challenge the status quo and demand
accountability from those in positions of power or wealth.
The phenomenon we now know as cancel culture actually had innocuous beginnings before it
morphed into a mechanism that can turn a person or a brand into a pariah in a matter of tweets.
What does "cancel culture" actually mean?
The term itself is vague and has become a catch-all for various situations with different degrees of
severity and impact. Professor Anne H. Charity Hudley, an expert on African American culture and
linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, (8. To break down) the idea into two
distinct definitions.
The first is essentially a boycott. "It is the withdrawal of financial support, political support, social,
economic support, often in pop culture in the form of attention of a particular media star, a
political figure, a business figure," Hudley told CBS News. "And withdrawing publicly your support
in a way that (9. To inform) other people that should withdraw their support as well."
"The second definition, that is silencing something or somebody," she added. "And they overlap,
but it's a little bit different because one is more about withdrawing your attention and the other is
actively seeking to stop someone else from speaking."
Depending on your view, she added, it can be perceived as the same thing.

How did cancel culture start?
One of the earliest pop culture references to someone being "canceled" was in late 2014, during an
episode of VH1's reality show "Love and Hip-Hop: New York." Cisco Rosado, a cast member and
music executive, (10. To tell) his then-girlfriend Diamond Strawberry, "You're canceled," after she
revealed she (11. To have) a daughter.
The word (12. To take) on a life of its own among mostly Black users on Twitter. It was used as a
way to show disapproval for a person's actions as a joke or lighthearted criticism.
Lisa Nakamura, the director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan, told CBS
News that because of the pandemic, "canceling" might be happening even more often these days,
bringing wider attention to the phenomenon.
"Before, I don't think it was seen as a necessarily pervasive… it was just the internet being the
internet," she said. "But I really believe that post-COVID, everyone's on the internet so much that
they're having to revise how important it is what you say online because no one (13. To do)
anything else."
Who gets canceled?
Over the last few years, the term (14. To become) more mainstream as prominent figures and
brands became targets. But Meredith Clark, a media studies professor at the University of Virginia,
told CBS News that getting — and remaining — canceled "depends on who you are."
Clark said people who do not have "access to power" are the ones likely to face real consequences
of cancel culture, while celebrities and people of wealth are often able to ride it out.
"They can buy their way out of the noise," she said. "They could donate their way out of the noise.
So, there are a number of different avenues that they have for protecting, upholding or defending
their reputation, that poor folks, that working class folks, that even middle class folks don't have."
For example, Kevin Hart dropped out of hosting the 2019 Oscars after public outcry over his old
homophobic tweets resurfaced. But after some time away from the spotlight, he continued
performing stand-up and getting cast in movies. The popular food writer Alison Roman was the
subject of online fury after making disparaging comments about Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo
in an interview this spring, and the New York Times put her column on hiatus. After an apology
and a period of social media silence, she re-emerged with a newsletter and (15. To use) her
experience to try to educate others.
This pattern of re-emergence after being "canceled" is not uncommon for people with certain
levels of privilege. But for private citizens, a mistake caught on social media can follow them for
years to come.
[…]

In a viral incident from this past May, a White woman (16. To name) Amy Cooper (17. To catch)
on camera calling the cops and making false accusations against Christian Cooper, a Black man
who (18. To birdwatch) in Central Park. She lost her job in finance and even temporarily
surrendered her dog to a shelter as the internet called out her actions as racist.
Mr. Cooper later expressed reservations about the extent of the public vitriol directed at her. "I
don't know whether she's a racist or not," he told "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King. "I don't
know her life. I don't know how she lives it. That act was unmistakably racist even if she (19. To
not realize) it in the moment."
"I'm not sure someone's life should be defined by 60 seconds of poor judgment," he added. […]
What does cancel culture accomplish?
Clark told CBS News that canceling can serve a purpose when it gives underrepresented groups
the ability to hold the powerful to account. To her, it should be about "punching up."
"I would say that cancel culture can be effective in terms of its ability to demonstrate the
perspectives of people who otherwise don't have their voices heard or their perspectives
recognized," Clark said.
"If you are not a person who has access to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, if
you're a person who (20. To not have) access to a major public platform... if you're not any of
those people, then calling someone out via social media is one of the few tools that you have to
hold them to account for any harm or damage that they may have done to you or people within
your community," she continued.
However, she does think it falls short of the goal many times.
"Too often, I do think that cancel culture gets into its own obsession with the purity of someone or
an idea, that if an idea or a person doesn't completely align with a set of values, then they are
essentially disposable," she said.
Hudley also believes people need to be allowed to make mistakes, learn lessons and grow from the
experience.
"If you made a mistake, we need to make a space for that," Hudley said. 'That's what I say to my
friends who've been previously incarcerated, like you don't want to be judged on the one bad act.
That's what people are nervous about."

Topic 2: Climate change
Activity 1
Medical Journals Call Climate Change the

‘Greatest Threat to Global Public Health’
By Winston Choi-Schagrin
• Sept. 7, 2021
A collection of leading health and medical journals (1. to call) this week for swift action to
combat climate change, calling on governments to cooperate and invest in the environmental
crisis with the degree of funding and urgency they used to confront the coronavirus pandemic.
In an editorial published in more than 200 medical and health journals worldwide, the authors
declared a 1.5-degree-Celsius rise in global temperatures the “greatest threat to global public
health.” The world is on track to warm by around 3 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels
by 2100, based on current policies.
“The science is unequivocal; a global increase of 1.5°C above the preindustrial average and the
continued loss of biodiversity (2. to risk) catastrophic harm to health that (3. to be)
impossible to reverse,” the authors wrote. “Indeed, no temperature rise is ‘safe.’”
Although medical journals have copublished editorials in the past, this marked the first time
that publication (4. to be coordinated) at this scale. In total more than 200 journals
representing every continent and a wide range of medical and health disciplines from
ophthalmology to veterinary medicine published the statement. The authors are editors of
leading journals including The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine.
In the editorial, they raised concerns not only about the direct health consequences of rising
temperatures, including heat-related mortality, pregnancy complications and cardiovascular
disease, but also the indirect costs, including the effects that soil depletion (5. to have –
modal) on malnutrition and the possibility that widespread destruction of habitats could
increase the likelihood of future pandemics.
The editorial urged wealthy countries to go beyond their targets and (6. to commit) to
emissions reductions that are commensurate with their cumulative, historic emissions. It also
called on them to go beyond their stated goals of $100 billion for climate resiliency plans in
developing nations, including funding for (7. to improve) health systems.
“While low and middle income countries (8. to contribute) historically less to climate
change, they bear an inordinate burden of the adverse effects, including on health,” said Dr.
Lukoye Atwoli, the editor in chief of the East African Medical Journal and one of the co-
authors of the editorial, in a statement. “We therefore call for equitable contributions whereby
8
the world’s wealthier countries (9. to do) more to offset the impact of their actions on the
climate.”
Sue Turale, the editor in chief of the International Nursing Review and a co-author of the
editorial, said in a statement, “As our planet faces disasters from climate change and rising
global temperature, health professionals everywhere have a moral responsibility to act to avoid
this.”
The publication (10. to come) ahead of a busy few months of climate and environmental
conferences. The U.N. General Assembly (11. to be scheduled) to meet this month in New
York City, the U.N.’s biodiversity summit will meet in October in Kunming, China, and the
U.N. Climate Change Conference, known as COP, in Glasgow in November.
A growing body of research has shown that extreme weather events worsened by climate
change 12. to contribute to a wide range of adverse health outcomes. Earlier this year
a study found that around a third of heat-related deaths worldwide (13. to be attributed –
modal) to the extra warming associated with climate change. And this summer, hundreds of
Americans (14. to die) in extreme weather events, including more than 600 during the
weeklong record-breaking heat wave in the Pacific Northwest that climate scientists say would
have been “virtually impossible without climate change.”

This week, climate activists are once again blockading major capital cities to call for
immediate action against climate change. Their aim is clear: cause as much non-violent
disruption as possible. Their means: blocking traffic at rush hour, organising ‘die-ins’ and
attempting to get as many people arrested as possible. More extreme acts of civil disobedience
(1. To occur) around Europe: in Zurich activists (2.To colour) the Limmat River acid green and
in London demonstrators (3.To glue) themselves to government buildings. With the disruption
organised to continue for fourteen days, how far should these protests be allowed to go?
Activists involved in the movement say that direct action is the only option. Years of
demonstrations and online petitions (4. To do) nothing to convince policy makers about the
urgency of climate catastrophe. The main organisers of the campaign, Extinction Rebellion, are
eager to capitalise on the sudden salience of climate change as an issue. From their perspective, no
amount of disruption is too much.
However, there are many who argue that the climate protesters (5.To go) too far and should be
stopped. Boris Johnson (6.To dismiss) activists as ‘uncooperative crusties’. Opponents (7.To
argue) that the protests (8.To cause) damage to the economy and could potentially disrupt
access to emergency care. The UK Metropolitan Police (9.To warn) that the protests take
resources away from other areas of policing.
Are climate protesters going too far? Is it acceptable to shut down capital cities in aid of the
climate? Or can conventional political means be used to achieve the same goal? Let us know your
thoughts and comments in the form below and we (10. To take) them to policymakers and

3. Read the following text and answer the questions at the end.
Come the Metaverse, Can Privacy Exist?

In immersive worlds, new technologies will siphon up data at an increasingly granular level—a person’s gait,
eye movements, emotions and more—putting far greater strain on existing safeguards
In its current form, the internet relies on data collection that some critics liken to mass
surveillance. Technology companies and researchers are beginning to wonder whether the
metaverse will be any different. […]
The infrastructure underpinning the metaverse—virtual-reality glasses and augmented-reality

software, for openers—will rely on reams of data showing how users interact with their
surroundings in fictional worlds, digital workplaces, virtual doctors’ appointments and elsewhere,
said Kavya Pearlman, founder of the XR Safety Initiative, a nonprofit that advocates for the ethical
development of immersive technologies.
“At any given time, the way you move, the way your gait is, the way you’re gazing, your pupil
dilation, is giving away information to developers,” she said.
All these tidbits could give companies greater ability to deduce users’ traits, Ms. Pearlman said,
defying current notions of privacy and security and straining corporate policies to protect them.
For instance, she said, an insurance company might obtain information that suggests a user has a
health problem before the person noticed any physical changes or saw a doctor.
“Now, the data is in inferences,” Ms. Pearlman said.
For years, developers have experimented with immersive games such as Poké mon Go, in which
users catch and battle creatures using mobile phones that project avatars onto physical
surroundings. But in recent months, the prospect of the metaverse has gone mainstream as large
firms including Meta, Microsoft Corp. and Nvidia Corp. announced plans to dive in. […]
In August, Meta began public testing of a workplace-collaboration app called Horizon Workrooms.
[…] Privacy advocates are leery of the intentions of a company that in recent years has paid
billions of dollars to U.S. and European Union regulators over alleged data abuses. Far-reaching
and arguably intrusive data-processing is key to such companies’ ad-based business models,
critics say.
Many corporate privacy lapses in recent years have revolved around the ways companies
exchange data with third parties, said John Verdi, senior vice president of policy at the Future of
Privacy Forum, a Washington think tank. Governments may need to pass new laws, or update
guidance on existing statutes, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, once a
metaverse-shaped data economy comes into focus, he said.
19
“A lot of those practices emerged in the mobile and desktop worlds in ways that might or might
not directly translate into AR,” Mr. Verdi said.
Meta officials say they will give priority to security and privacy as they develop such technologies,
adding that much of what they envision will take up to a decade to develop.
“We’re discussing it now to help ensure that any terms of use, privacy controls or safety features
are appropriate to the new technologies and effective in keeping people safe,” a spokeswoman
said.
The company has pledged $50 million to outside researchers focusing on privacy and security in
the metaverse, including a partnership with the National University of Singapore to investigate
data use. Meta’s augmented- and virtual-reality arm, Reality Labs, separately is issuing grants to
study topics such as how to authenticate users and detect novel forms of cyberattack across new
devices and services. Two research teams this year were awarded sums to study eye-tracking
tools used by virtual-reality headsets.
Such data is key for devices and software to know which imagery to project where. But precise
information on where people are looking can reveal users’ subconscious thinking or mental state,
said Guohao Lan, a professor at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands who is leading
one of the projects funded by Meta. Users may look differently at other players in a game, for
example, than they would at the avatar of a boss they don’t like.
“His photo or video will trigger your emotion,” Mr. Lan said—and possibly be divulged to that
boss.
A key question for the Delft team and its counterpart at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is
how to obscure data on eye movements with privacy filters without sacrificing too much utility.
Researchers from both schools said eye-trackers could give companies a wealth of information for
targeted advertising at a very granular level.
That raises the stakes of companies’ choices on how to make money in the metaverse, said
Bradford Oberwager, executive chairman of Linden Lab. Linden developed “Second Life,” a game
released in 2003 and seen by many as an ancestor of more recent visions of immersive
communities. […]
People may enter the metaverse to share experiences or assume identities they can’t in the real
world, he said, giving the companies behind the technology a unique window into users’ psyches.
“I am who I want to be in the metaverse,” Mr. Oberwager said.

AGAINST. If you are an odd number in the group the remaining person will act as a chairman.
The chairman presents the introduction and the conclusion, makes sure everybody has their
speaking time, regularly summarizes what has been said to make sure that everybody has
understood the other’s position, and ensures that the various aspects are covered. Remember that
what you will say in the debate does not have to reflect your personal position on the topic.
-Make sure you have understood your topic.
-Look up key words in a dictionary. You can have ONE small card per person with them or figures
you would like to mention.
-Think of the arguments you will mention. Think of as many aspects as you can : political, social,
moral, religious, scientific, international, economical, etc. Most of the time there is no clearcut
answer to the debate. Think of possible objections to your position : how would you answer them?
Think of alternatives.
-Total preparation time : +/- one hour. If more, you are probably not doing the right thing. This is
not about finding the best internet sites in a hurry to repeat what you have read. It is about your
ability to put your ideas forward against contradiction. It is a debate, not a presentation of
prepared material.
2. Actual Debate
-You should start your actual debate with an introduction stating your subject, defining your
terms and stating the limitations you have decided upon. Example : (if your subject is
Euthanasia) : “We will talk about euthanasia for humans, not for animals.”
-Everybody in the group should talk for a minimum of 5 minutes –not in one go, of course- and the
total of the debate must not exceed 30 minutes. No reading allowed. Do not imitate whatever
television programme you have watched. Do not try to overpower your opponents, you should also
listen to their arguments.
-All debate topics are complex issues. This should be reflected in your debate.
-End with a conclusion. This will probably NOT be an agreement but the issue should have
progressed somehow.
