ACTIVITY 1
The north of the country offers wonderful opportunities for seeing the animals of Africa – rhinos, hippos,
elephants, lions, buffaloes, crocodiles, to name just a few. Or try the tropical rainforest of the south with its
gorillas, monkeys and colourful birds. You can choose from a huge range of activities: visit our beach
resorts, play on our beautiful golf courses, watch the animals at our parks and games reserves or visit a
cocoa plantation – 40% of the world’s chocolate comes from Côte d’Ivoire.
ACTIVITY 2
1- Tourism is now a major cause of pollution in some of the world’s most beautiful countries. And it’s
not just a question of litter, dirty beaches and polluted sea-water. There’s also the problem of air
pollution from cars and coaches. In many places this is now so bad that it causes acid rain.
2- The tourist industry also affects birds and animals. This happens in two main ways. Firstly, many
are killed (often illegally) so that furs, skins, shells, tusks or feathers ca be sold as souvenirs.
Secondly, their natural habitats are destroyed to make way for new hotels and apartments.
3- Many tourist areas, especially in the Third World, have limited water, food and electricity. Since
visitors use large amounts of these resources, this often means that the local population has to
suffer.
4- These days, famous historic buildings receive millions of visitors every year. The result? Long
queues and in many cases serious damage to the buildings themselves. The Pyramids in Egypt are
an example of such buildings, which are slowly being destroyed by their own popularity.
5- Hundreds of popular resorts around the world have become overdeveloped in the last thirty years.
The result in many cases is an ugly» concrete jungle” of hotels, restaurants, apartments and shops
which:
a. Damage the resort’s natural identity;
b. Weaken its traditional culture;
c. Make the local population too dependent on jobs connected with tourism.
ACTIVITY 3
A hundred years ago, tourism hardly existed. Very few people travelled abroad. Now, thanks to the
twentieth century travel revolution, as well as longer holidays and bigger salaries, millions of people take at
least one foreign trip a year. Why shouldn’t they? After all, holidays are a wonderful chance to relax, have
fun and explore new places. Plus, of course, they create new jobs and vital income for countries all over the
world. Like many other beautiful countries, Côte d’Ivoire encourages foreigners to come and visit the
country.
ACTIVITY 1
We use rivers, lakes and oceans as sewers and as dumping grounds for waste and polluted water. Waste
dumped into running water is quickly carried away out of sight. However, if too much waste is dumped into
water, nothing can survive in it. Human beings need clean, fresh water. Without it, we die in three days. But
in many parts of the world, clean water is rare. Instead, people have to drink dirty, polluted water. Over 2
billion people don’t have clean water. 80% of the world’s diseases come from dirty-water. 30,000 people die
Collège Boliadé Zoukougbeu, Conseil d’Enseignement Anglais Page 2
every day from diseases like this. 50% of the people in hospitals are there because of “dirty-water”
diseases.
ACTIVITY 2 and 3
Over half of all the world’s tropical forests has already been destroyed and most of that destruction has
happened in the last 50 years. Only three areas of the world have tropical forests: these are South and
Central America, South-East Asia, and West and Central Africa. Almost all the rainforest in India and Sri
Lanka has been destroyed, and in Bangladesh it has gone completely. There is no tropical forest left in
Haiti. In the Amazon Basin, the world’s largest area of tropical forest, millions of hectares are being burned
each year. In Africa the situation is not much better: 85% of Côte d’Ivoire’s forest has already been
destroyed. Soon, Guinea will have only a third of its forest left, and Nigeria will have none. Overall, around
800 million hectares of tropical forest worldwide have disappeared.
ACTIVITY 4
1- In Burkina Faso, lines of stones are being put around the fields. When the rain comes, it does not
wash away the soil. Instead the water sinks into the earth and makes it wetter, richer and more
fertile. It’s a quick, easy and cheap solution.
2- In villages, water-testing kits are being used to test the water in a river or well and make sure that it
is clean. In other places, water pumps are being installed to raise safe, clean water for a whole
village. Factories which pour dirty water into rivers, lakes and the sea are being prosecuted and
fined.
3- Governments are being encouraged to plan and work together, to protect more land and grow more
trees. The richer countries are being challenged by environmental pressure groups to help poorer
countries to develop industries which do not require them to cut down their trees.
4- Countries are being encouraged to do the following:
Use more natural energy (sun, wind and sea);
Ban CFCs (chloro-fluro-carbons);
Reduce bush burning;
Use fewer cars
Use cleaner forms of petrol in cars
5- Shops are being urged to less packaging and everyone is being encouraged to recycle paper,
glass, metal, plastic etc.
ACTIVITY 1, 2, 3 and 4
The virus which causes AIDS enters the white cells in the blood and it eventually destroys them so that
they can no longer defend the body. This may take several years to happen. Once these defences are lost,
the body is then open to all infections and an everyday infection such as a cold can become serious.
ACTIVITY 1 and 2
Recently it has been heartbreaking to hear that two weeks before the Christmas holidays a member of a
protesting group of students who wanted to anticipate the holidays entered a classroom, stabbed one or
two students during a test and with his group succeeded in ordering a whole school to stop classes for the
Christmas vacations. A teacher trying to persuade protesters in another school received a stone and has
his head swollen. Unfortunately, such sad and preoccupation attitudes of gangsterism have common
among students in Ivorian schools for two or three years now as any holidays draw near; students behaving
like true bandits, defying governmental laws and deciding on their own dates for vacations.
ACTIVITY 3 and 4
Formerly students respected dates set by the government for holidays. But now they anticipate them. And
to this situation neither the government nor the parents seem to have found the solution. This means that
the leaders are to be condemned so are parents. If the government had taken concrete and immediate
measures, the situation would not have been so serious. Governments can do much to improve young
people’s lives. They should act immediately otherwise they will face a real tragedy in the future. Even if
parents and governments are in charge of educating children, children themselves have their share of
responsibility on their way to become reliable agents of development for their country.
Many children work in factories, sometimes on huge production lines, doing very repetitive and boring
tasks. They sometimes work in hot and stuffy places and for long hours. They earn very little money for all
their hard work.
In some countries, children as young as nine work in coalmines. It is very dangerous work and many get
injured or even killed in hot countries, little children help pick cotton all day in the sun and the work is very
boring. Some employers often treat the children unfairly, being cruel and brutal. They make them work for
long hours, without a break, without proper food and drink and without paying them properly.

4- To do what is right
As the technology is growing the social media has become the routine for each and every person, people
are seen addicted with these technologies everyday. With different fields its impact is different on people
(on education, on business, on society, on youngsters). Social media has increased the quality and rate of
collaboration for students. Business uses social media to enhance an organization’s performance in various
ways such as to accomplish business objectives, increasing annual sales of the organization. Youngsters
are seen in contact with these media daily. Social media has various merits but it also has some demerits
which affect people negatively.
False information can lead the education system to failure, in an organization wrong advertisement will
affect the productivity, social media can abuse the society by invading on people’s privacy, some useless
blogs can influence youth that can become violent and can take some inappropriate actions. The use of
social media is beneficial but it should be used in a limited way without getting addicted.
Each advertisement is a specific communication that must be effective, not just for one customer, but for
many target buyers. This means that specific objectives should be set for each particular advertisement
campaign.
ACTIVITY 3 and 4
Maria: I have got a new mobile phone! It’s the new IS 650 from Instant! The latest and the best!
Fanta: Oh! Let me have a look. It’s similar to the new Magic 1000. I wish I had one like that.
Maria: I’m sure you can get one. There’s a special offer for students. If you buy a mobile phone from
Instant, you get the SIM card free and you get free air time worth 1000 francs!
Maria: Oh, yes. It can take photographs and videos. It can record sounds and send pictures to people, and
you can even surf the internet with it!
Adèle: Don’t believe everything you read in the ‘ads’. If you have more functions on your mobile phone,
you pay more money!
Gondo: But it’s like my cell-phone. I have got a blue SIM card. I can do the same as you can with my older
phone. Instant is very good at advertisements!
Adou: You’re right. All mobile phones have similar basic functions. But the advertisements make us want
new phones all the time!
