And their foolishness will always make the news headlines. But on the other hand, there will always be teachers and parents who see the real value in possessing and sharing knowledge. The internet, however, changes everything. We can’t help but use it to check what’s happening (or has happened) in the world. Schools are probably right to encourage young people to use the internet to find out about the world. It may be right that such a tool will just help us to forget more and more. But at the same time, the continuing popularity of quizzes and game-shows shows us that general knowledge – shared knowledge among a mass of people all part of the same culture and time – is strong enough to remain. Unit 12, exercise 19 Student B You are a candidate: 1 Think of skills and abilities which might be suitable for the job. Remember to present yourself in a positive light: How can you appear confident, but not arrogant? How will you sell yourself? What will you ask the employer? 2 Introduce yourself appropriately. Describe your skills and abilities in line with what the interviewer asks. Then move to another interview. 3 Listen to the evaluation. Do you think it is fair? What comments do you have about the employers and the interviews? Unit 2, exercise 3b The world’s wealth in the year 1500 “Slaves captured in raids and war grew in importance as a commodity. Kola nuts were also important, as were the dyestuffs of northern Nigeria. All these goods were highly prized in and around the Mediterranean basin.” (Richard Effland, 2003) In the year 1500, European territories were some of the wealthiest on earth, when measured by GDP per person. The regions with the largest total GDPs were Eastern Asia and Southern Asia. These were also the most populous regions at that time. The regions with the lowest GDP in 1500 were central and south-east Africa. These regions also had the lowest GDP per person. Student B 211 A Activities Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
