From the book ‘Our future Planet’ written by Frank Gallagher in 2016, published by
Library: New York. Page number 27.
The waste is so remote it is hard to say who is responsible. We must all work together to reduce
our impact on the environment, recycle more and think about the Future of our planet for our
children and grandchildren’s sake. We are slowly destroying our beautiful planet it is time for
drastic action and a united response by governments and environment agencies.
From the book ‘The future in our hands’ written by Nora Ring in 2014, published by
Bookers: London.
The massive amount of rubbish that people throw away without thinking is the key problem. We
need to change the way people behave that can only be achieved by education. Countries should
be fined for the amount of waste they produce. Not only is the the pacific garbage patch an ugly
eyesore it has the potential to damage people’s health as marine animals begin to eat it and it
enters the human food chain.

Streets that have a lot of people and cars passing through are described as having a high level of
thoroughfare/ailments1. Residents of these types of streets can suffer from road users/disrupted sleep2 due
to light and noise pollution at night. The high level of pollution and disturbance regularly experienced
can cause people charity/stress3 and anxiety as they struggle to deal with the problem, and in more
extreme cases, people may even suffer from depression/donation4. Governments and authorities often

3 Read Meera Al Shehi’s statement about Earth Hour. Choose the correct statement to
summarise her opinion:
“A lot of people think that events like Earth Hour give

people an easy way to look like they care about the
environment. They can just switch off their lights for an
hour, not make any real change to their lives, and they get
to be environmental heroes. However, even if these people
just switch off their lights and electrical items for an hour
on that one day, you know what, they are making a much
bigger impact than they probably even realise. Occasions
like Earth Hour are not stand alone events; it’s not just
about switching off your lights for an hour. It’s about an
individual choosing to act at the same time as millions of
other individuals and an individual action, no matter how
small, multiplied by millions, sends a very clear message.”
a Meera thinks that individual actions are only important if they are repeated millions of times.
b Meera thinks that people who only participate in Earth Hour once a year have no impact on
climate change.
c Meera thinks that people need to act together against climate.
4 Which of the statements (a-c) in Activity 3 do you agree with? Do you agree with Meera?
Why/Why not?

Name Writing Mark

Noura The legacy of our generation should be minimis-ing our impact on the
earths natural resources.
The most significant impact we can make on the conserving our
planets resources is recycling.
Yusef It is everyones responsibility to recyle, governments can encourage
is buy making it expensive to dump our rubbish in landfills. The
government of the UAE sould introduce recycling bins for everyone’s
home.
The amount of waste that people produce is a lot and its going to get
worse because the population is increasing and people are consuming
more and more for example when we buy things in the supermarket
they are always packaging but when you buy fruit and veg in the
market it is not therefore I think supermarkets are responsible for a
lot of waste.
To conclude everybody needs to take responsibility for recycling.
Shamsa Recycling is a global problem that needs to be addressed urgently. The
amount of rubbish that humans are producing is increasing at a rapid
rate, and this is going to be further compound by population growth
and increased consumerism. Furthermore, consumerism will impact
on the earths natural resources as we extract more substances from
the ground and destroy natural habitats in the process.
What can we do to promote recycling in our communities In my view
education is the key to encouraging recycling, if people are aware of the
impact of waste on the environment and the health of our planet they
will be more willing to take steps to improve things. Another approach
would be to charge people for removing their waste with a reduced rate
for those who are recycling. I believe that people are more responsive
when they have to pay for their negative behaviour.

Over the last 100 years, the Hawksbill turtle has

UAE, these turtles do enjoy nesting on the UAE’s beaches which
are on their migratory routes. Global warming in the form of rising
water levels means that their nesting and feeding habitats are
being destroyed. Illegal for their shells has also
contributed to numbers decreasing.

2. Houbara Bustard
Pre 1994 the numbers of this bird were at a rate of 25%.
A loss of and overhunting were to blame. Hunting with
falcons was very important to indigenous peoples and the Houbara bustard
was a main source of meat. However, in recent years this decline appears
to have slowed. Although only classified as vulnerable it is important that
numbers are monitored carefully since the bustard plays a significant role
in Arabian culture and heritage. As the main for falcons,
if the Houbara bustard dies out then so will the art of falconry.

Lessons 9–10 What is a people person?

1 Read the following opinion text. Use the words surrounding the bold vocabulary words to
work out the meanings. Then match the vocabulary words to their definitions.
How to be a “people person”

The first trick to impressing others is to appear approachable. You should look friendly and open
so that people should feel comfortable meeting and speaking with you. A good first impression
is also important, as people will remember you if your first meeting goes well. It’s also important
to appear confident by looking the other person in the eyes and speaking calmly. A confident
person is proactive when speaking to others, making sure that their opinion is heard. But it is
also important to be receptive and listen to the other person. Knowing how to listen is the key
difference between a “people person” and someone who is just rude.
1 approachable a calm and in control

2 confident b active and taking charge
3 impression c friendly and easy to talk to.
4 proactive d able to listen to others
5 receptive e an idea or opinion of someone
2 Certain words and phrases can be used for certain functions in a conversation. Look at the

the moment. However, when a project is nearing a 6

it’s far more difficult to see friends and make time for myself. Similarly, if the
client changes their mind about something or we find out that there’s a
planning restriction on what we want to build, it can mean that we have to
change things very quickly and work longer hours to get the project finished
by the deadline. So, yes, it can be 7

job for me.

LANDING THE PERFECT JOB

I’m sure we all agree that having the technical expertise and experience is ideal. However, remember that
you will undoubtedly be applying for jobs at entry level. So, having the ability to work as part of a team and
being a good communicator will certainly be extremely important in persuading future employers to give you
the position. Become more self-aware and get feedback from your peers and teachers on how others see
you. Also, put yourself in positions where you are communicating face-to-face and not just online.
Don’t underestimate the power of technology to make yourself more employable. Potential employers are
likely to use the Internet to recruit and research candidates. A strong personalised presence relevant to the
position you are looking for will undeniably help you access a wider audience.
Take control of the direction you wish to take. The perfect job certainly won’t come to you. You need to be
proactive. Go out and search for employers, and contact people who already do the job you want. Ask them
what it’s really like and what they suggest you could do to get on the first rung of the ladder. Most people will
invariably be happy to help you.
1 This is probably your first job so you will have to focus more on soft skills instead
of and practical knowledge.
2 Ask your friends and colleagues what they think of you since this will help you
be .
3 Developing a online will allow you to reach more people.
4 Don’t sit around doing nothing. To find employment you have .
2 Read the text again and decide if, according to the text, the statements are true (T), false
(F) or if there is no information (NI).
1 You will most likely not have the experience for the jobs you are applying for.
2 Soft skills are not important.
3 Future employers will definitely look for, and find out information about, candidates online.
4 You will have a better chance of getting a job if you know the right people.
5 A lot of people will be pleased to help you get started on your career path.
