Study the arguments of smokers and non-smokers. Support either idea with the appropriate arguments. Smokers: Smoking should be allowed. A person has the right to choose — to smoke or not to smoke. It’s not a very healthy habit, but it’s not a crime. Smoking helps some people to relax. Some people believe that smoking helps shy people to communicate. Smoking should be allowed in all public places. Non-smokers have to put up with it and shouldn’t make such a fuss about it. Example: / support smokers / non-smokers. I believe that smoking in public places should be allowed / banned... Non-smokers: Smoking should be banned. Every person has the right to healthy life. It’s impossible to escape smoke if there is a smoker around. Family members and or colleagues have no choice — they have to inhale (вдыхать) smoke together with the smoker. It’s very unpleasant to speak to a person who is smoking. Smoke can cause very serious diseases. People shouldn’t put up with smoking since it’s a risk to their health. Smoking should be banned in all public places / in most public places / in some public places. 12 Write an essay on the smoker / non-smoker conflict. Follow the structure of the essay.

The group was founded in 1959 and fought for self-determination for the Basque country in northern Spain and southwestern France. Despite the fact that the Basque region of Spain is an autonomous community nowadays and has got its own regional government, the Basque separatists go on with their violent struggle.

Disabled people want equal treatment (отношение), not charity (благотворительность). Indeed, the idea that people with disabilities are weak and helpless is simply not correct. They just can't do some things other people are able to do. But there are many things they do much better than others. For example, there are some amazingly strong and talented personalities, including writers and sportsmen, who are blind and actors and even composers who are deaf. One example is Eduard Asadov. He was no different from his classmates when they had their last school party. The Great Patriotic War began a week after they had graduated from secondary school. Despite his age. Eduard became a soldier on the second day of the war. But in 1944 he was badly injured and became completely blind. However, Eduard didn’t give up. He entered the Institute of Literature and soon his poems became very popular. He wrote about people and their feelings, love, friendship and betrayal, and other aspects of life. His poems were pure and encouraging. They helped people cope with their troubles and hope for the best. Ever strong and optimistic Asadov helped other people see the beauty of the world, though his own eyes were blind. NP 4 Section 2 75 b) Join two ideas to create one sentence by using though. Example: Disabled people can’t do some things. They don't want to be treated as weak and helpless. Though disabled people can't do some things, they don't want to be treated as weak and helpless. Tbese people have physical disabilities. There are many strong and talented personalities. Asadov was very young. He became a soldier. He became completely blind. He didn’t give up. He was disabled. He helped other people cope with their troubles. His eyes were blind. He saw the beauty of the world. Section 3 *_______ Ф 1 j Listen to the interviews (see Ex. 57, p. 173 in Student’s Book).

However, not everybody who speaks about it understands what this process actually means. Brainstorming What things do you associate with globalisation? 2 Write down your definition of globalisation and compare it with a partner's. Globalisation is_____________________________________________________________ 3 Read through the ideas of how globalisation reveals itself in different parts of our life (in our economy, politics, and culture). Select from the following facts and put them in the appropriate column below. A lot of students from Russia study in other countries. There are many companies where people of our country work with foreign colleagues. There are many international cultural organisations all over the world. There are a lot of goods with foreign names that have been produced within Russia. The political decisions of one country can affect the situation in a region, a continent or even the world. Companies can have business partners in different parts of the world. \bu can often buy the same soap and toothpaste in whatever country you are. There are a lot of international organisations, which regulate relationships between countries. There are a lot of political problems that concern not one but several countries. Political leaders of different countries hold summits and meetings to discuss problems and work out decisions together There are many companies with foreign names in Russia. If there is a conflict in one country, leaders of other far-away countries sometimes try to influence one side of the conflict or the other. "Oiecf 83 You can hear the same music and watch the same films in whatever country you happen to be. There are now “world celebrities’; To produce certain goods, companies often import spare parts and raw materials. There are foreign students in Russia. % Students from different countries can work together on some international projects. A lot of foreign films are on in Russia. There are international organisations which regulate economic processes ^ at a world level. Some people adopt foreign food, customs and lifestyles. , In the economy In the political and social life | In culture and education 84 Project 4jRead through the following facts about the past and the present. Find out what factors sped up the process of globalisation in the 20th and 21st centuries. Fill in the bubbles in the scheme below. The past In the 19th century, it took weeks or even months to get from one continent to another Only wealthy people could afford travelling long distances. Ordinary people saved money for travelling for many years. The only means of distant communication was the post. People enjoyed writing letters, but they had to wait for a very long time to get the reply. Very important letters sometimes got lost. When a group of people from different cities or countries wanted to discuss a problem and work out a common decision, they usually chose a place for the meeting and travelled there. They had to leave their homes and put off their business for a long while. In the 16th and 17th centuries about seven million people spoke English. The present Now it takes 24 hours to travel from Europe to Australia. A lot of people travel nowadays on business and as tourists. Even travelling by air is quite affordable Besides post, telephone, and telegraph there are cheap and very efficient means of communication based on the Internet. It takes seconds to send an e-mail and get a reply. Satellite communication is used a lot now and teleconferencing is a common way of doing business or discussing scientific and political problems. To take part in a teleconference, people need only to switch on the monitor at the right time. Nowadays about 15 billion people speak English and only 427 million of them are native speakers. People of different cultures, business and science from all over the world use English for communication. Seventy-five percent of the world’s e-mails and 78% of aU websites are in English. о 1 i c о 11 Spread of English as the global language ^ Write a paragraph to explain what factors caused globalisation boom in the 20th and 21st centuries. Voject 85 It’s evident that if we want to understand our prospects and future possibilities, we can’t ignore the fact that the world is getting globalised. We should study how the process influences the main spheres of our life. Read and study the instructions on how to do the project “Globalisation trends in our country’.’ Split into three groups according to the sphere you are going to research: the economy, politics, or culture and education. Guidelines for the project: • Read the hypotheses and then follow the points to complete your research in the table below. • Step 1: In your group, read the text and answer the questions to be sure that you have understood it. Then choose the most appropriate conclusion at the end of the text. • Step 2; Collect the material and give a real life example to support the statement you chose. • Step 3: Study the advantages and disadvantages of globalisation in the economic / political / cultural life of Russia. Use the form given and do a survey to find out people’s opinions. Write a paragraph about the results of your research. • Step 4: Confirm the hypothesis. Write a paragraph on the possible effects of the globalisation process in our country. • Use all the material you’ve got and prepare a presentation of the problem you’ve studied to the class. Feel free to use any other additional material (statistics, newspapers, photos or articles from the Internet, etc). Project ‘^Globalisation trends in our country 59 Hypothesis: Globalisation influences the economic process in our country. 1 The globalisation of the economy is a world trend. 2 Russia is integrating into the global economy. 3 Advantages and disadvantages of globalisation for the economy of our country. 4 The future of globalisation trends in the Russian economy. Hypothesis: Globalisation influences the political and social life of our country. 1 No country can be independent of the world community. 2 Russia as a part of the global political system. 3 Russia’s advantages and disadvantages of being involved in world politics. 4 Russia’s prospective role in global political processes. Hypothesis: Globalisation influences Russia’s cultural life, its science and its educational system. 1 There is no chance for culture to escape global processes. 2 Russia's culture is changing together with the world. 3 Advantages and disadvantages of a global culture for the people of Russia. 4 The future of the various cultures in Russia. 86 Pro|ect Group 1 Step 1 A Study the text below and consider the following questions. 1 What is the difference between a national company and a global company? 2 Why do companies go globaK' 3 Can the process of globalisation be presented as a rising or a falling trend? 4 Is globalisation a rapid process or does it go slowly? From local to global? Setting up a business is quite a complicated process. It consists of several stages. If a company wants to produce some goods, it has to buy materials and employ workers. If the company does not have enough money to buy the materials and pay its workers, it needs to find an investor to supply It with the money. The company also has to find customers to sell the goods to. If the company is not able to sell the produced goods, it will inevitably collapse. In general, the business cycle looks like the following. The business cycle If the company manages to sell the produced goods, it can pay back the im estor. buy more materials and employ more workers. Tliat, in turn, enables the company to produce more goods and to give back more money to the investor. In this way the company grows bigger and bigger. At some point the company starts to buy the materials from several suppliers and not only within its own country. It can buy materials abroad and can sell the goods to foreign customers as well. It can employ not only people of its own country, but any foreigners if they have the right qualifications. To get closer to distant customers or to the suppliers, the company sets up new companies in other countries and produces the same goods there. Gradually, the company starts to see the whole world as its customers and suppliers, and doesn’t care about boundaries and nationalities. Other things are very important for the company now: 1) its product should be recognisable worldwide as the product of this company it should be the same all over the world wherev er it is produced; 2) the product should be of the same quality. This is how company gets global. There are a lot of examples of global companies. Everyone has heard about McDonald’s. Coca-Cola, Ford, Boeing, Samsung. The number of global companies is growing rapidly. People often don't even identify their names with their original countries. 'Vbu can come across Proctor & Gamble or Microsoft in any region of the world. Actually, they are no longer national companies. They work in the global economy. Businesses need to grow to be successful. However, this doesn't mean that small companies will die out. They have their own niche in the market and have every chance to succeed as well. В Read through the text once again and choose between the two conclusions. a) Economic globalisation is a world trend and it inevitably influences economies of all countries. Russia has to integrate into the world economy, too. b) Globalisation has no influence on other national economies. Russia should develop its national economy and ignore the process of globalisation. ; ect 87 Step 2 Give a life example of a global company in Russia. It can be either a company of Russian origin or a company of foreign origin working on the Russian market. Follow the guidelines: the name of the company the industry it works in the products / services it provides its impact on the economy of your region: — it supplies local customers with the necessary goods — it increases competition among other companies in the region — it provides jobs to local people ~ it ruins the local companies and makes them bankrupt — people lose their jobs because if it Step 3 A Read through the list of advantages and disadvantages of globalisation in Russia’s economy. Mark the advantages with a “+” and the disadvantages with a Add some more advantages or disadvantages of globalisation. Globalisation makes the local economy dependent on the economic situation in the world. Globalisation increases competition among companies. Globalisation can ruin local companies. Globalisation can create new jobs and increase employment. People can buy food, cosmetics, electronics and all of their favourite brands everywhere. Russian companies have investors, customers or partners abroad. Global companies are quite independent of the local authorities. Global companies can have a serious influence on local governments. The national economy becomes dependent on other countries. In the global economy people of different nations interact intensively.

Prepare the presentation “Globalisation trends in tSiC *;iiiy ui lussia’ Project 89 Group 2 Step 1 Read the text below and consider the following questions. 1 Is il possible to create a safe and stable society in one country? Why or why not * 2 What are the main problems of the contemporary world? 3 What are the reasons for instability in the world? 4 How do nations tend to unite? What international or global organisations have they created? Is there a safe seat in the boat if it goes down? There is no doubt that the main goal of any nation is stability, safety and welfare of its citizens. It may seem that if the government makes good laws and cares for their people, the nation can enjoy a life which is free of problems and risks. However, it is not like that. There are no calm spots in a rough sea And when the world faces global problems, like wars, social and environmental problems, a country cannot avoid being involved. World War II was a striking example of this — even the countries that declared they did not want to be involved, like Switzerland, or hadn’t planned to take part in the conflict, like France, or were very far away from the battlefield, like the United States, were still deeply affected by it. In the case of war in the 21st century, there will be no battlefields or safe zones at all. Today s arms are far-reaching, and a nuclear exchange would leave no chance for anybody to escape disaster. The civilians would actually be at as much risk as the military. We can see the effects of globalisation in the social arena as well. One can’t be rich and happy among the hungry and miserable. Now the range in development and living standards in different countries is huge. While 15 percent of the population of the Earth enjoys living in the richest countries, 15 billion people live in absolute poverty This causes instability and unbalance in the world. Extremist leaders take advantage of these situations to gain power and to provoke social or national conflicts. Flows of illegal emigrants from poor countries move to more developed countries, bringing unemployment, criminal and rehgious problems with them. It is evident that in the age of high technology and global integration the boundaries can't properly divide or protect countries any longer. Instead, the world tends towards one integrated community. Thus, political instability in one country, a local military operation or an unpopular political decision can cause a chain reaction and affect many countries. Nowadays most politicians and ordinary people think that the threat doesn’t come from any particular country or any particular nation. Today’s conflicts are the conflicts of many nations. Terrorism is a clear illustration of this as it affects all countries and all people — rich and poor, politicians and kids, people of any religion or belief. Terrorism can’t be stopped by one country alone. We can fight terrorism only through international cooperation. The countries of the global village have common problems and tend to unite to solve them. Balance and stability in the world requires participation of all nations, whether they are rich or poor. Political leaders hold meetings and summits to work out a general policy to deal with terrorism social and environmental problems. There are global organisations like the United Nations and the Red Cross. The main aim of the United Nations is to regulate relationships between nations, settle conflicts and promote the ideas of peace and stability for the whole w'orld. The International Red Cross helps victims of war and natural disaster, such as floods or earthquakes wherever they are on the planet. Read through the text once again and choose between the two conclusions. a) Russia shouldn’t ignore the political and social problems of other countries as these problems can affect it, too. b) Russia shouldn’t care about what’s going on in other countries. 90 Step 2 Give a real life example of Russia’s taking part in global politics. It can include summits, sessions of the United Nations, and even political statements of approval or disapproval of any other country’s policy or action. Follow the guidelines: when it happened the source of the problem / conflict what countries were involved in the problem / conflict what points of view were presented what Russia’s position was Step 3 A Read through the list of advantages and disadvantages of globalisation in the political and social life. Mark the advantages with a “+” and the disadvantages with a “ — • In the case of a local conflict or a natural disaster, people can count on international help. • There are some international laws which should be observed by all countries. • In case of aggression, a country can appeal to the world community for help and support. • Individual person can appeal to international organisations if his rights are not observed in his own country. • Nations become less independent since the world community can tell them what to do. • Sometimes countries can be forced to do things that don’t go with their national immediate interests. • The world community can control and even stop some dangerous industries in sovereign countries. • The sovereignties of countries are getting more and more limited. • When the political forces of different countries cooperate, it often helps avoid military conflicts or prevent them from spreading further, • If countries have similar social or environmental problems, it’s easier to come to the right decision together. For example, they can work out common programmes to deal with oil pollution. • International political organisations have a powerful impact on the economic development of countries. They can remove trade and investment restrictions, and can stimulate other countries’ economies. В Find out how people feel about the integration of Russia into global politics. Ask six adults to answer the questions in the form. Analyse the results. Does globalisation influence the political and social life of Russia? Should Russia take an active part in world politics?

Summing up everything above... Looking back at all the facts, we can say that... In our opinion, there are very positive / negative prospects for Russia. It can affect the national interests... It can lead to... We should prevent situations where... We are going to see rapid improvements / serious problems caused by globalisation. The process of globalisation is going to speed up / slow down. L Prepare the presentation “Russia and the global political community’ J 92 Project Group 3 Step 1 Л Read the text below and consider the following questions. 1 What are people referring to when they speak about culture? 2 How do people of different cultures begin to share the same interests? 3 What factors contribute to forming a global culture? 4 Should people stick to their own culture and reject everything else? Is it possible to stop the global culture from happening? Are we becoming too much alike? In the 19th century, Edward Tylor, a famous anthropologist and professor at Oxford University, wrote his definition of culture. In it he said that culture means a complex, which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. The globalisation process is dramatically changing all of those aspects of different nations’ cultural life. The process of integration and intense communication among nations leads to so-called cultural diffusion. People in different corners of the world start to share the same interests and preferences; their lifestyles and pastimes are becoming more and more alike. Indeed, if you travel to a remote African country, you can see that local families often prefer watching psychological thrillers with Michael Douglas on video (with Coca-Cola and chips) to their traditional pastimes. The influence of the film industry and television on the formation of a global culture is very strong. According to statistical surveys undertaken by UNESCO, the leading countries in this field are the USA, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and India. And it’s evident that America dominates greatly both in producing feature films and in promoting them all over the world. The same can be said about music, particularly pop music. In any capital city of the world or any remote village, you can hear the same songs broadcasted on all radio stations. Young people of all countries share the same tastes in music and there is already the phenomenon of the World Celebrity. The entertainment industry is not the only contributor to globalisation. Other factors also influence people’s customs, morals, family values, and education. Nowadays a lot of students get an education outside their own country. Consequently, the educational standards are getting more and more universal. Governments realise how important it is to raise the educational standards within their countries to give their young people a fair chance to compete with their contemporaries from more developed countries. Due to a great number of tourists and people working in foreign countries, and because of the influence of television and the Internet, it’s very difficult nowadays for any nation to stick to old traditions and not let other cultures inside their countries. And many people can’t do without certain things they have adopted from other cultures. Now it’s not only the Chinese who enjoy special tea ceremonies or the French who laugh when watching French comedies. And the Russian ballet belongs not only to the Russians but to art lovers all over the world. В Read through the text once again and choose between the two conclusions. a) Globalisation influences cultures of many nations. The various cultures of the Russian Federation are influenced by the global culture, too. b) Any country can escape the influence of globalisation and get back to its old traditional culture and lifestyle. Step 2 Give a real life example to prove that cultural life in Russia is changing. The example can include pa.«itimes, tastes in music, language, etc. Follow the guidelines: the cultural aspect you are going to describe (language, film genres. Toject 93 range of programmes on ТУ customs, lifestyles, etc) description of the situation in the past description of the situation in the present the reasons for the change Step 3 A Read through the list of advantages and disadvantages of globalisation in Russia\ culture and education. Mark the advantages with a “+” and disadvantages with a . Add some more advantages or disadvantages of globalisation. The more people of different nations have in common, the easier communication is. The traditions and languages of minor nationalities gradually die out. The young people of many countries arc fans of the Internet. People can enjoy not only their nations cultural achievements but all the cultural treasures of the world. Different nations adopt the same moral and family values. All big cities of the world are becoming more and more alike. People can feel at home whatever country they are in since they listen to the same music, watch similar TV programmes and shop in the same supermarkets. Much of global culture is low standard mass culture. Having a global language stimulates information exchange. Similar educational standards promote student exchange. В Find out how people feel about the influence of a global culture on Russia in the global economic process. Ask six adults to answer the questions in the form. Analyse the results. Does globalisation influence the various cultures of Russia? Should people fight globalisation trends and protect their national cultures?
