Part : 5 READING : Achieving the goals of sustainable development

Activity 1 • Before you read, answer the following questions.

1. Who is concerned with achieving the goals of sustainable development?
2. How do they achieve these goals in the social, economic, and environmental fields?

Activity 2 • While you, do the tasks below.

[ 1 ] Civil associations , governmental , and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are mainly concerned with achieving the
goals of sustainable development. Some of them are sponsored by the government; others are financially independent from
read
any governmental support. Such organizations play an important role in empowering youth and women. They also seek to
support poor and disadvantaged people in the economic, social, educational fields, and to protect the environment.

[ 2 ] Socially, they work on improving the status and situation of women in society so as to achieve social justice and establish
gender equality, between men and women. Therefore, a major part of their plan is to increase literacy rates among women
by promoting literacy programs and non-formal education. In addition, they provide other essential services such as health
care, running water, and electrification of rural areas to stop villagers from leaving their villages in search of better life
conditions in urban or big cities. Moreover, members of these organizations work really hard to eliminate some negative
cultural behaviours like discrimination, stereotype, crimes, extremism, and violence.

[ 3 ] In the environmental field, both governmental and non-governmental organizations do a lot to conserve natural resources
for future generations and reduce pollution by sensitizing people about the toxic danger of litter and trash. They also launch
programs to preserve water, plant trees, take care of public gardens, and protect some endangered animals from extinction.
Their role, therefore, is so important that most of the projects connected to sustainable development are based on their
success and perseverance.

[ 4 ] As for the economic aspect, these organizations create job opportunities for women and young people. They give them
financial aid in the form of micro-credits. They also help them start their own businesses and enterprises, and train them to
invest their money in the best ways possible. In other words, their main goal is to reduce poverty and unemployment rates,
especially in rural areas. In the process, they certainly help and guide current generations to contribute to the economic
development of their country on a larger scale.

• Answer the following questions from the text.

1. What does NGOs stand for? ………………………………………………………………………..………………………………………………………………………..
2. Why the N-GOs provide essential services in rural areas? ………………………………….…………..…………………………………………………….

• Are the following statements true or false? Justify.

2. The objective of N-GOs is to decrease the number of joblessness. ………………………………….…………………………………………………….

• Complete the following sentences from the text.

Part : 8 BOOST : Tips to develop your speaking skills

WHY DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS IS IMPORTANT?

English is the language of the world, a common language that people with different native languages can
use to communicate. The more fluent you are in English, the more interesting, exciting and insightful
conversations you can have.
The tips below will take you beyond the foundational aspects to reach communicative competence.

1. WORK ON YOUR PRONUNCIATION AND DICTION

The first step in improving your speaking skills is learning how to pronounce the words correctly. Even if you’re
not quite a beginner, there are still words that you don’t really know how to pronounce. Pronunciation and
diction are crucial in becoming a great speaker – that’s why you must pay a lot of attention to these aspects.

2. TALK WITH YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR

One of the best ways to practice your speaking skills is to talk yourself in the mirror. I know it might sound a little
bit strange but think about it – you’re the only person alive that will never judge you, make fun of you, or make
you feel ashamed. Therefore, speaking aloud with yourself in the mirror about anything you want or anything
you have on your mind is the best way to practice.

3. LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO NATIVE SPEAKERS

Another very effective way to improve your speaking skills is by learning by example – listening to the way native
speakers speak. You don’t have to listen to a boring conversation like the ones they put in school materials. You
can listen to music, movies, interviews, audiobooks, or anything that you’d like to listen to.

4. FIND NATIVE SPEAKER TO TALK TO

One of the most common advice teachers used to give to improve our writing skills was to find a native pen
friend. Now, since we’re talking about speaking not writing, you can find a native speaker to talk with through
video or voice calls.

5. READ BOOKS ALOUD

Reading a book aloud (pages from a book) is a really good practice that is proven to improve your speaking skills.
As well, the better you become you can read aloud more complicated books to step up your game and even
learn new words.

6. USE LANGUAGE LEARNING APPS

As most people spend pretty much time on their phones, you should at least spend some time improving your
speaking skills. How to do that, well today, there is an app for anything, so of course that there is an app that will
help you improve your speaking skills. (Pronunciation apps, WhatsApp for video calls, …)

7. EXPAND YOUR VOCABULARY

Usually, the great speaker is the one with too many words. You see, to be a good speaker means to know how
to pronounce correctly the words, but you must also know what they mean in order to use them in the right
context. Actually, expanding your vocabulary will come naturally if you’re really dedicated to improving your
speaking skills. Whenever you’ll read a book aloud, you’ll pass by a word that you don’t know and the same goes
with listening to music and watching movies.

8. WORK ON YOUR CONFIDENCE

The ultimate level in becoming a true master in your speaking skills is to work on your confidence. It might not
seem so important to you now, but just look or, even easier, imagine one good speaker that is insecure of his
speaking skills and looks like his on the verge to stutter on a stage in front of many people, and one truly
confident person who speaks like he can hold a magnificent speech even if you wake him from his sleep.

9. PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENTS

If you’re looking to improve your speaking skills, one of the best things you can do is to participate in public
speaking events. This will allow you to practice your skills in front of an audience, and to receive feedback from
both the audience and the event organizers.

FINALLY
When it comes to speaking, you have to practice more than to learn and study – I mean you’ll learn
through constant and effective practice. If you’re truly dedicated and disciplined with your improving
process, in a matter of months you’ll turn from beginner level to almost expert level.
