UNIT 7: BIG IDEAS

VOCABULARY

Verbs: taking action. I can talk about suggestion for change.

THINK! Do you believe strongly in something? Have you, or someone you know, ever campaigned about an issue? What was the campaign about?

Answer:

Yes, I believe strongly in something. My friend has campaigned about an issue. The campaign is about protecting wild animals from poaching and habitat destruction.

1. Match the verbs in blue in the text with the noun forms in the box. Listen and check.

Answer:

………………………………………………………………………………….

2. Read the online petitions and decide if you support the ideas. Then work with a partner and explain why you agree or disagree with each.

Petition power!

Do you want to campaign for change?

Everyone CAN make a difference and you don’t need to donate money or volunteer. You simply need to sign a petition online. Here are a few active campaigns from the internet …

Say NO to orca shows

We should ban the use of orcas for entertainment. We believe that these intelligent, sociable animals should not be in captivity. We’d like people to boycott the shows and sign our petition. Please support our cause!

SAVE sea turtles on CÔN ĐẢO island

We want to protest about the commercial hunting of turtles for their shells and the pollution in their natural habitat. We aim to raise awareness about sea turtle conservation on Con Dao Island, Viet Nam.

We love ugly fruit!

Supermarkets reject 20 - 40% of fruit and vegetables because they aren’t ‘perfect’. We propose that supermarkets sell ‘ugly’ fruit and vegetables at a lower price. Help us end food waste and allow more people to buy cheap, healthy food. Please support our campaign.

Answer:

I agree with all the ideas.

- I agree with the petition “Say NO to orca shows”.

Because keeping orcas in small tanks and training them to perform tricks is cruel and inhumane. Moreover, they are highly intelligent and social animals that require a large and complex environment to thrive.

- I agree with the petition “SAVE sea turtles on CÔN ĐẢO island”.

Because sea turtles play an important ecological role in marine ecosystems, they are valuable and endangered species that deserve protection. Commercial hunting and pollution are serious threats to sea turtle populations and their natural habitat.

- I agree with the petition “We love ugly fruit!”.

Because I believe that food waste contributes to environmental and social issues. Rejecting imperfect fruits and vegetables is wasteful, meanwhile, selling ugly produce at a lower price can reduce food waste and make healthy food more accessible to low-income households.

3. Use the verbs in exercise 1 to create your own petition. It can be serious or funny. Can you persuade anyone in the class to sign it?

Answer:

- Volunteer for environmental conservation!

- Protesting against the destruction of natural habitats of wildlife!

- End racial discrimination!

- Supporting local charities that provide food and shelter to the homeless.

- Aim to reduce carbon emissions!

- Boycott fast food!

- Ban single-use plastics!

- Propose a ban on animal testing!

I can persuade my classmates to sign my own petition. For example, with the petition “Boycott fast food!” I can persuade people who care about their health, the environment or follow a healthy lifestyle to sign it.

4. Listen to four people Yana, Zara, Will and Mitchell talking about petitions they have just signed. Which verbs in exercise 1 do Yana, Zara and Mitchell use?

Finished?

Write a letter to the principal to request a change to one of the environmental problems in your school. Explain what the problem is and what you think the school should do.

Answer:

Dear Principal,

I am writing to request a change to an environmental problem that I have noticed in our school. I have observed that there is a significant amount of plastic waste that is generated daily, especially during lunch breaks, which is not being managed properly.

As we know, plastic is a major environmental issue, which takes hundreds of years to decompose. The fact that students discharge too much plastic waste not only harms the environment, adversely affects health, but also deteriorates the school landscape.

I believe that our school can take several steps to reduce plastic waste. Firstly, we could campaign to raise awareness about the negative impacts of plastic waste and encourage students to bring their own reusable water bottles instead of using plastic bottles. Secondly, we could introduce a recycling program in the school, where we classify the plastic waste and recycle it. This would reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Finally, I would like to propose that the school takes action by providing reusable water bottles to every student and installing recycling bins in the school compound. By taking action, I believe that we can address the plastic waste problem in our school and make a positive impact on the world we live in.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

READING

Being kind. I can scan a text to location information.

THINK! When did someone last do something kind for you? What was it?

Answer:

Recently, my friend surprised me by sending a really thoughtful message, thanking me for helping them with her project. It wasn’t anything huge, but it really made my day.

CHANGING THE WORLD WITH KINDNESS

Sometimes a spontaneous act of kindness can change another person's life. Read about these incredible people and their actions that helped to make the world a better place for someone else.

IN BRITAIN

Life can't be easy for musician Daniel Black. After a cycling accident in 2009, the doctors told him that he couldn't walk or play the guitar. He had saved £22,000 for his intended expensive surgery when he heard about a young boy who also needed surgery to allow him to walk. Daniel told the boy's family that he would donate all his money to the boy's surgery. The little boy was then able to walk again.

IN VIỆT NAM

In March 2020, Hoàng Tuấn Anh, a Vietnamese entrepreneur in Ho Chi Minh City Invented a 24/7 automatic dispensing machine providing free rice for the poor during the Covid 19 lockdown. The machine distributed a 1.5 kg (3.3lb) bagful of rice from a small silo. The team said that people in need still had access to food and resources during the pandemic.

IN THE US

Glen James, an unemployed and homeless office worker, did something both honest and kind. The police said that he decided to return a bag with $42,000 in it to the owner. A man called Ethan Whittington read about Glen and started a campaign to collect money for him. Ethan said that an amazing $160,000 was raised and Glen's life hasn't been the same since.

These stories may persuade you that when you spread a little kindness, there may not be a personal benefit, but you could encourage people to be kind to you, too.

Student A: Hi, there. Would you mind helping me with a survey?

Student B: But how can we make this happen? Do you have any ideas on how we can get started?

Student A: We can start by talking to the school administration and cafeteria staff to see if they would be willing to partner with a local organization that works with the homeless.

Student B: But won't this perhaps be too difficult to organise?

Student A: The main reason for it is to reduce food waste and help those in need. And as for safety, we could make sure that the food is still within its expiration date and properly stored. It might need a lot of work, but it’s definitely worth the effort.

Student B: I suppose you're right. I'm willing to help out.

THINK! What problems can mobile phones cause?

The arguments for a ban on mobile phones are that they disturb the class if they ring and they also cause more serious problems outside the classroom such as cyberbullying.

Answer:

All young people should do two weeks of compulsory work for the community every year. Discuss.

Many people believe young people should be required to do two weeks of compulsory work for the community every year (such as street cleaning, planting trees or helping old people).

There are arguments both for and against this rule.

One of the arguments for introducing compulsory community service for young people is enhancing a sense of civic responsibility and community spirit in young people. For example, by working together on projects that benefit the community, young people would learn the value of cooperation, hard work, and helping others, which could be an opportunity for them to learn new skills and gain valuable work experience. Additionally, such a program could help to address some of the social and environmental issues facing our communities, such as litter or deforestation.

On the other hand, some young people may feel uncomfortable and resentful when forced to do work they do not want to do. In addition, they suppose that mandatory community service is an infringement on personal freedom and individual choice, which could lead to a negative attitude towards community service and make it less likely that they will volunteer in the future.

Personally, I am in favour of introducing compulsory community service in two weeks for young people every year because it helps themselves and also solve community issues. However, I think it is important to ensure that young people are given a choice of community service projects to work on, and they are adequately supported and rewarded for their efforts.

Culture: Youth projects

1. Read the article about the Hideaway Youth project. Why did the project win an award?

HIDEAWAY YOUTH PROJECT

Helping young people to make a difference

Aims

Hideaway tries to support young people aged eleven to twenty-five in Moss Side, Manchester. The organisation aims to give young people a way of expressing their opinions and making positive contributions to society.

History

In the 1960s, the city of Manchester had problems with crime, violence and unemployment. The founders of the Hideaway Youth Project wanted to provide a safe place – a ‘hideaway’ for young people in the Moss Side area in particular.

Since opening in 1965, the project has helped thousands of teenagers of different cultures, religions and races. They can share their stories and get advice, as well as take part in activities that develop skills. Many of these teenagers then go on to become project volunteers themselves.

Activities

Programmes include:

Powerhouse – fun sports activities such as football and basketball, or specialist sessions on cooking and art.

Healthy Living – young people learn about how important it is to eat well and do regular exercise. Young Men’s Project and Young Women’s Project – these two separate projects support and encourage young men and women to talk about sensitive topics openly and honestly. The sessions promote acceptance and tolerance, and build self-confidence.

Award winners

In 2014, the Hideaway Youth Project won the Youth Work Award for their success in helping young people be the best that they can be.
