المستوى الرابع Quotation 1. "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. "
Henry Ford ( 1863 CE – 1947 CE )
Ford refers to the fact that the world is moving forwards, so people need to keep up with progress.
He also refers to the brain being "trainable". i.e. if you practice learning, you will learn more effectively.

2. “The limits of my language are the limits of my world.” Ludwig Wittgenstein.
All you know is what you have words for. So your world, and therefore your language, is limited to where
you live and your knowledge. As you expand your world and knowledge, so does your language.

3. “Unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some greed and others to hunger."
Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883 CE – 1931 CE).
I agree with the quotation. I think that Gibran is talking about trade here. He is taking about mutual respect,
and this could be applied to any exchange, as well as trade. He is perhaps commenting on the emergence of
capitalism.

4. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. Maya Angelou (1928 CE–2014 CE)
Making a living refers to your job and the money you earn to live on . Making a life is creating a way of
living that you want. You do the work in order to be able to have that, but it also depends on your friends
and family, and how you decide to behave. So "making a life is not totally dependant on the money you
earn"

4. Do you think that computers will replace books one day ? Why ? Why not ?

is a very personal experience that doesn't feel the same when it is done on a computer.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. How do you think computer technology will develop further in the future ? How far do you agree with the article ?
I think that computer technology will develop further in the future to the point that it will know how to address our
every need. We will not have to think about everyday tasks like shopping and cleaning because technology will take
care of them.
I disagree with the article because I don't think that all aspects of our daily lives will rely on a computer program,
because this would result in too many problems if the computers crashed .
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6. We rely more and more on computer technology. How far do you agree that this is a positive development ?
I agree that computers have enabled us to do many great things, but becoming overly reliant on technology is not a
positive aspect of this development .

7. The writer thinks that life in the future is going to see further changes in computer technology.
Explain this statement , justifying your answer.
In the future, life is going to see further changes in computer technology. It is likely that all aspects of everydaywill

9. Advanced medicine has many effects on our life.
Think of this statement, and in two sentences, write down your point of view .
I think advanced medicine increases the life expectancy for the citizens and make their life more comfortable. Also, it
reduces the mortality rates among people and increases the healthy population growth which results in economic growth.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Critical thinking 1. Specialized schools are useful in our societies . Explain this statement .
I think they are useful because they can save the time and effort of our students as most of them don't want to
study some subjects which they don't like and don't want to specialize in.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Studying abroad has many benefits (advantages) .
Think of this statement, and in two sentences, write down your point of view. I think that studying abroad has many advantages such as learning a new language and be familiar with different

Answer the questions about the poem.
1. The poet uses many examples of alliteration. Find one example. الجناس
What effect is the poet trying to achieve with this technique?
Alliteration adds to the rhythm of the poem and also links dissimilar words together. ( soard and sink - silent and singing )
- singing – speck / listening – long / listened – longer

This shows that the poet leaves the cornfield but speculates that the bird's mate might still be listening to the song :
therefore, the bird must still have been singing.

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Vern - 1873
50 miles
Hong Kong ………….. ( a steamer ) Calcutta /////////////////////// Allaabad ……………………. Kholby /////////////////////// Bombay
travelling through India by train.
Mr Phileas Fogg : English man - trying to complete a journey around the world in eighty days.
Mr Passepartout : Frenchman - his travelling companion
Sir Francis Cromarty : traveller
The train stopped at eight o’clock, in the midst of a glade some fifteen miles beyond Rothal, where there were several
bungalows and workmen's cabins. The conductor, passing along the carriages, shouted, 'Passengers will get out here!'
Sir Frances : "Where are we?" Conductor : "At the hamlet of Kholby."
Sir Frances : "Do we stop here?" Conductor :"Certainly : The railway isn’t finished."
Sir Frances :"What! Not finished?"
Conductor : "No. There’s still a matter of fifty miles to be laid from here to Allahabad, where the line begins again."(Sir)
Sir Frances : "Yet you sell tickets from Bombay to Calcutta,’ retorted Sir Francis, who was growing warm.
Conductor : "No doubt," replied the conductor,
"but the passengers know that they must provide means of transportation for themselves from Kholby to Allahabad."
Mr Fogg : "Sir Francis,’ said Mr Fogg quietly, ‘we will, if you please, look about for some means of conveyance to Allahabad."
Sir Frances : "Mr Fogg, this is a delay greatly to your disadvantage'.
Mr Fogg : "No Sir Francis; it was foreseen.
Sir Frances : "What! You knew that the way…… (
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mr Fogg :"Not at all, but I knew that some obstacle or other would sooner or later arise on my route. 2018
Nothing, therefore, is lost.
I have two gained days to sacrifice. A steamer leaves Calcutta for Hong Kong at noon, on the 25th.
This is the 22nd, and we shall reach Calcutta in time.’ What form of transport is a steamer ? 2018
There was nothing to say to so confident a response. Write down the two cities which are mentioned ) 2018
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mr Fogg and Sir Francis Cromarty, after searching the village from end to end, came back without having found anything.
Mr Fogg : "I shall go afoot," said Phileas Fogg.
Passepartout, who had now rejoined his master, made a wry grimace, as he thought of his magnificent, but too frail Indian shoes.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Monsieur, I think I have found a means of conveyance." ‘What?
Passepartout : "An elephant! An elephant that belongs to an Indian who lives but a hundred steps from here."
Mr Fogg : "Let’s go and see the elephant," replied Mr Fogg.
They soon reached a small hut. Enclosed within some high palings, was the animal in question.
An Indian came out of the hut, and, at their request, conducted them within the enclosure. The elephant, which was
reared, not to be an animal that merely carried things around, but for warlike purposes, was half-domesticated.
Happily, however, for Mr Fogg, the animal’s instruction in this direction had not gone far, and the elephant still
preserved its natural gentleness. Kiouni – this was the name of the elephant – could doubtless travel rapidly for a long
time, and, in default of any other means of conveyance, Mr Fogg resolved to hire him. However, elephants are far from
being cheap in India as they are becoming scarce.
Male elephants, as they are only suitable for circus shows, are much sought after especially as the majority are
domesticated. When therefore Mr Fogg proposed to the Indian to hire Kiouni, he refused point-blank.
Mr Fogg persisted, offering the excessive sum of ten pounds an hour for the loan of the elephant to Allahabad.
Refused. Twenty pounds? Refused also. Forty pounds? Still refused.
Phileas Fogg, without getting in the least flurried, then proposed to purchase the animal outright, and at fi rst offered a
thousand pounds for him. The Indian, perhaps thinking he was going to make a great bargain, still refused. At two
thousand pounds the Indian yielded.
"What a price, good heavens!" cried Passepartout, "for an elephant." It only remained now to find
a guide, which was comparatively easy. A young Parsee*, with an intelligent face, offered his services, which Mr Fogg
accepted, promising so generous a reward as to materially stimulate his zeal.
The elephant was led out and equipped. Provisions were purchased at Kholby, and, while Sir Francis and Mr Fogg
took the howdahs* on either side, Passepartout got astride the saddle-cloth between them.
The Parsee perched ( alliteration ) himself on the elephant’s neck, and at nine o’clock they set out from the village,
the animal marching ( personification ) off through the dense forest of palms by the shortest cut.
* Parsee – a person living in South Asia but descended from Persia.
* howdah – a seat for riding an elephant / Literary devices : alliteration & personification

Ideas
5. Find a line in the story that represents the following ideas. ( Time – money – transport )
1. Time : ‘Mr Fogg, this is a delay greatly to your disadvantage.’ ‘No, Sir Francis; it was foreseen.
2. Money : Phileas Fogg, without getting in the least flurried, then proposed to purchase the animal outright, and at
first offered a thousand pounds for him.
3. Transport : Happily, however, for Mr Fogg, the animal’s instruction in this direction had not gone far, and the
elephant still preserved its natural gentleness. Kiouni – this was the name of the elephant – could doubtless travel
rapidly for a long time, and, in default of any other means of conveyance, Mr Fogg resolved to hire him.
6. Consider the idea of transport. Compare the train and the elephant. What are the advantages and disadvantages of
each mode of transport mentioned, and how does this relate to the rest of the extract?
a good mode of transport. Travel rapidly and for a long time. More positive investment.
the elephant surpasses man-made transport and remains the best choice
elephant
The railway is not finished. Travel slowly and for a short time . – the man-made transport fails
train
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Do you think that this story shows the importance of time? Justify your answer.
- I think that this story shows the importance of time
when Phileas Fogg is so precise about the number of days they have to spare in line 24. And
where the elephant is described (‘rapidly’, line 41). However, I think that more importance is given to efficiency,
because Phileas Fogg is not in a hurry; he is instead very well prepared.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8. Compare and contrast the characters of Sir Francis and Phileas Fogg. Two different personalities
calm and confident (assured) - generous and self-controlled person – speaks quietly – polite
doesn't show any anger
Plileas Fogg
gets easily angry – speak in exclamation and short sentences.

Writing a blog
Do you know what you're going to study at university? ( ask a question such as advice)
I’ve come up with some ideas but I really need your help! ( State your problem )
Do get in touch if you have any stories or advice that you think might help me to make this life changing choice.
Firstly, I want to help people, but Science is not my strongest subject so I won’t be able to do Medicine. I could study
Psychology and follow a career path in that area, but I don’t know much about it. If any of you are Psychology
students, please do message me about your course. I’d love to hear about it – what you love, what you like, and of
course what you don't like at all!
Secondly, I’d really like to study something like Linguistics, because I’ve always been interested in language. I’ve
done some research and found out that, while it doesn’t lead directly to a career, it is interesting and academic, as well
as a well-respected degree. Can you help me get a better picture of it? So, can you help me with my decision? We
could start up a useful conversation about choosing paths for ourselves at this next exciting stage!
( Restate your question or subject and ask students to get involved)
