Act. Four (p.20)
A homonym is a homograph or homophone that is the same in form and sound as another but different in meaning. (Cf. Oxford Learner’s Dictionary of Current English, 410) Have the students read the dictionary entries for the word can to identify the different meanings of the head words related to can. Then have them recite the tongue twister. The students who trips over can once are out.
A canner exceedingly canny,
One morning remarked to his granny,
‘A canner can can
Anything that he can
But a canner can’t can a can, can he.’
WORKING WITH WORDS (p.21)
Act.One (p.21)
The aim of this activity is to make students infer the category of the words put between brackets and to use appropriate suffixes to form the words that correspond to each of the categories. Before setting the students to task , you can give them an example to illustrate what is expected of them in doing the activity. Above all, show them the strategy of how they can infer the categories of words from the different sentences of the text.
Marxism is an economic and political theory developed by Karl Marx. This theory claims that class struggle has been the major force behind historical change. Marxism believes that the exploited classes will put an end to capitalism and establish a socialist and a classless society in its stead.
The first country in the world to adopt the socialist doctrine was Russia. It was in 1917 that the Bolsheviks took power there. The Bolshevik party was a revolutionary and marxist party. It abolished the feudalism of the tsarist regime and put in its place a communist system. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the end of the Cold War and the failure of state communism and the adoption of liberalism in Russia. (Please correct the use of tense as indicated in bold.)
Act. Two (p.21)
Before setting the students to task, give a dictionary entry to illustrate.
e.g., appear. v. appearance. (phonetic transcription) n. meaning. Example for

illustration. It’s preferable to urge your students to form words related to this unit. This will help them improve their understanding of the texts included in the unit. Set another task for your students to check their understanding of the process of word formation with the prefixes in the table given in the student’s book.
LISTENING AND SPEAKING (pp.22-23)
Act. One ( p.22)
Interact with your students about the possible advances that can be made in the field of medicine. e.g.,
Maybe scientists will invent a cure for palsy.
Perhaps scientists will succeed in their research to find a vaccine against kidney disease…
Perhaps scientists will find a vaccine to protect people from malaria.
Act. Two ( p.22)
This activity aims to illustrate the use of will, may and might in expressing degrees of certainty. Before setting the students to task, have them copy the diagram included in the textbook in their portfolios. It is not necessary to make them copy down all the examples containing will.
will/won’t → - Well, there will be changes in the next decade for sure.
- We’ll eat more gentically modified foods (GMFs).
- Children will be able to study at home;
- Homemakers will do less housework.
- They will do all their shopping by computer
- They won’t go to school every weekday.
will probably/ probably won’t → Robots will probably be available for sale;
may well → new diseases may well infect us.
may/may not → We may invent a cure for killer diseases like cancer, but
many diseases may infect us.
might well → pandemics might well reappear in another form.
might/could → we might reduce hunger in the world.
20 Act. Three( p.22)
a- They are talking about the changes that might happen in the next
decade.
b- Dr Jones is the least optimistic because he does not simply mention the positive changes. He also mentions the negative effects of the expected changes.
c- The summary can take several forms (in reality). For example, it can be a short report in a newspaper. The students should use their own words in the report. And the report should be concise and to the point. So before setting the students to task, inform them that they will play the role of reporters for a daily.
What life will be like in the future?
Scientists predict many changes in our way of life in the next decade. According to some of them, there will be enough food for everybodyin the world because of the availability of GMFs. Teleschooling will make it possible for children to study at home. ...
TIP BOX (p.23)
Go through the tip box with your students. This will build their awareness about the different ways of expressing certainty and doubt. Invent an activity where the students will use the expressions included in the box, or simply assign the students a completion task.
YOUR TURN (p.23)
Possible answers:
You: I’m sure that scientists will invent a vaccine against tooth decay in 20
years.
Your partner: Personally, I have doubts about that. That might or might not
happen.
You: I’m almost certain that we’ll travel to space some day.
Your partner: It seems to me that this won’t happen tomorrow.
You: I’m quite sure that Man will live up to 130 years.
Your partner: It’s unlikely that this might happen.
You: I have the firm conviction that children will study at home to work through the use of computer.
Your partner: I have no doubt about this.

WRITE IT UP (p.23)
Use the listening script of the textbook on page 179 as a model. The activity can be done in groups.

Students will make notes on the board, which will be used by the whole class for writing a short newspaper article.
READING AND WRITING I ( p.24)
Act. One (p.24)
Before setting the students to task, brainstorm the different names of the items in the different parts of the food pyramid. Once the students have matched the parts of the pyramid with the categories of food to which they belong, make sure they write the food items for each of the categries.

2.d. dairy: cheese, milk...
3. b. meats: chicken, beef, mutton ...
4. a. vegetables: lettuce, carrots ...
5. f. fruit: bananas, apples...
6.c. bread: rice, bread, doughnuts ...

Act. Three (p.24)
The students will interact with the written text. They may or may not agree with what the author writes. The text does not give facts but opinions. So the students should not feel obliged to agree with the author’s opinions if they are living in an environment which contradicts the opinion put forward in the text. The importance is to make them justify their agreement or disagreement with the author by giving justifications.

Act.Two (p.27)
Go through the Tip Box with your students before they do the completion activity. The correct answer is not necessarily the one given in this key.
What do people wear?
Climate, tradition, and history affect the way people dress . For example, in Northern European countries, the climate is cold. Consequently, people wear warm clothes. By contrast, in Northern Africa, the climate is hot As a result, they wear light clothes
Differences in tradition also influence the types of clothes people wear. For instance, in Muslim countries, people wear traditional clothes when going to parties , in contrast to America where people put on suits and ties during ceremonial occasions .
Contrary to what people think, history is no less important when it comes to clothes. In olden days, young people in Algeria were used to wear djellabas whereas today they wear trousers and shirts. In olden days, they were used to wear shechias, but nowadays, they wear sports caps
The most important factor that determines dressing styles today is fashion. So in most of the world people like wearing jeans and sports shoes. However, there are still some countries which keep to their traditional clothing in spite of globalisation.
