Dear fellow citizens,
Corruption is an evil that must be fought now! In order to win this fight I urge all people of good will to unite
around me.
If I were elected Head of State, I would implement the following anti-corruption programme. To begin with, I
would appoint dedicated civil servants who would work honestly for the country: stealing money or accepting
a bribe in exchange for a service is unethical
and illegal. Next, I would pass stringent laws to protect citizens and punish embezzling and bribe-taking. I
cannot tolerate that honest citizens be the victims of corrupt civil servants.
I would also fight tax evasion and capital flight. Those who earn a lot of money must pay their taxes and
contribute to the development of the country. Therefore any tax evader would be severely punished by
specially appointed tribunals.
Finally, I would rehabilitate the value of work. Mutual trust is a moral value that we should teach our
children from infancy. A little money earned honestly brings a lot of happiness and peace of mind.
To conclude, I could tell you, fellow countrymen that your
role as citizens is indispensable to fight corruption. No government can succeed without the help of civil
society. Therefore, I urge you again to gather around me to win this decisive battle. Vote for honesty ! Vote for
me!
READ AND CONSIDER(pp.53-58)
Language outcomes (p.53)
Have the students skim through the language outcomes preview to make them aware of the objectives of this
section.
Getting started (p.53)
1. It represents a customs officer holding the counterfeit of
a famous European painting. (See caption at the bottom of the picture.)
2. Logically the answer is no. Expect students’ justifications for their answers to be quite varied.
3. In quality/price/safety (open answer)
4. Many possible answers.
5. Many possible answers
6. Normally, the answer is : It’s wrong to imitate products because imitations are of poor quality/not
safe/illegal and dishonest practices. …
Taking a closer look
Before setting the students to task, try to make them guess what the text is about by looking at the title.
Then have them read the text and answer the questions.
It is difficult to distinguish between imitations and genuine
products because the counterfeiters are very skilful and make perfect copies of the original.
B. Counterfeit medicines are harmful because they have a lack of
active ingredients.
C. Counterfeiting has negative consequences on health, (public) safety, and the economy.
D. Imitation is just like stealing someone else’s property. (inference question)
E. Companies should reduce the prices of their products rather than spend huge amounts of money on
advertising against counterfeiting.
F. Many possible answers. E.g. I agree with the author’s conclusion because consumers won’t buy
imitations if the brands are at affordable prices (cheap/not expensive).
Around the text (pp.55-57)
Grammar explorer (p.55)
Task 1
A. There are so many marketed imitations of these brands that consumers have lost confidence in them.
B. Copies of brands are so cheap that consumers don’t hesitate to buy them.
C. Counterfeits are of such a bad quality that it is a waste of money to buy them.
Task 2 (p.55)
A.
q These products are imitated to such a perfection that it is difficult to distinguish between the genuine and
the fake products.
q The loss in profitability is so big that most of them have launched advertisement campaigns against
counterfeiting.
Have the students check their answers and identify the problem areas in the answers they have provided
to task 1 above.
Task 3 (p.55)
These products are imitated to such a perfection (main clause) that it is difficult to distinguish between the
genuine and the fake products (subordinate clause).
The loss in profitability is so big (main clause) that most of them have launched advertisement campaigns
against counterfeiting. (subordinate clause).
B. Result
D. These products are perfectly imitated/ are imitated to perfection. As consequence/Consequently/As a
result,/…
The loss in profitabilty is very big. So/As a consequence…
Grammar explorer II (p.56)

(agency underlined).
Task (p.56)
Our copyright is being infringed (by many Internet users). Our music hits are being uploaded and
downloaded. These copyright thefts are being put in pirate sites in order to swap them with other Internet
users. These pirates must be reminded that a great deal of financial loss is being caused to us by swapping
music illegally.

Vocabulary explorer (p.57)
Task 1 (p.57)
Verbs: defraud, forge, imitate, deceive, steal …
Nouns: theft, fraud , forgery, imitation, counterfeiter …
Encourage students to use 5 to 6 words from the diagram in sentences of their own.
Task 2 (p.57)
Honesty - stupidity - responsibility - cruelty - morality - hospitability - legality
Task 3 (p.57)
Dishonest - disapprove - disagree - disapproval - illegal - immoral - unfair - irresponsible - disappear
Task 4 (p. 57)
It is both dishonest (1) and illegal (2) to imitate products. Piracy is due mainly to a lack of honesty (3) and
morality (4). I totally disagree (5) with those who say that counterfeiting is beneficial to consumers.
Pronunciation and spelling (p.57)
Verb nouns adjectives
eOnomize eOnomy ecoNOmic
ecoNOmics ecoNOmical
eCOnomist unecoNOmical
Shift of stress: verb/noun -to adjective
Stress on penultimate syllable for words ending in -ic, -ics and -ical.
Think, pair, share (p.58)
Some people argue that counterfeiting benefits consumers by giving them access to lower-price goods.
This is a totally mistaken claim. First, imitated goods are poor quality and do not last long. There is then no
guarantee of value for money and more importantly, that fake goods are safe. Imagine how much damage low
quality parts fitted in a car can do to the driver and passengers when they fail!
Secondly, if we think of fake foods or medicines, and the criminal procedures used by the people who make
them, we can only remain firm on buying genuine products. There are several cases of substitute edibles which
have caused dangerous diseases to people and which have resulted in long-lasting law suits. The outcomes
could only be compensations paid for irreparable damage but the moral damage caused to the victims can
never be repaired! Recent figures released by the European Union show that the customs are confiscating 100
million fake items every year.
Thirdly, it is highly immoral to reap where other people have sown. Pirating products is indeed imitating
other people’s property, and refusing to engage in a creative act. It is much more rewarding to turn one’s
abilities to creating new objects of value that could serve the community, or improve the performance of
existing ones.
Fourthly, pirating objects is by essence theft, especially when the producer of a fake item affixes the label
of a well-known trade mark on it. Some countries are notorious for their practice of counterfeit objects. One
wouldn’t like Algerians to be known for practising this dubious trade, as much as one wouldn’t like to see them
buy cheap, fake products and head into unsuspected troubles.
TAKE A BREAK(p.59)
Elicit the humour in the cartoon.
Proverbs and sayings
1. Money talks
Here ‘talks’ means carries weight, in the sense that it is influential. It is possible to do much more with money
than without.
‘Why did the members side with Mr X at the annual general meeting? Mr Y’s arguments were much more
convincing.’
‘Mr X is a rich man and Mr Y isn’t. If we’d accepted Mr Y’s proposals, the Club would have lost the support of
Mr X. Money talks, you know.’
Equivalent of the saying : A golden key opens every door.
2. The love of money is the root of all evil.
All kinds of wickedness and tribulations spring from the desire to become rich. The source of this saying is
Timothy (in the Bible) I./10.
Note that it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself.
3. Everyman has his price.
All people can be corrupted in one way or another. This is a very pessimistic point of view to hold about
human nature.
4. Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.
The opposite of this saying is Pennywise and pound foolish, which means careful in small matters and
foolish in large matters. The saying recommends that we should be careful about small expenses so as to save
money and invest it in profitable ventures.
5. Money can’t buy you love.
There are things that you can’t buy with money. One of these is love.
6. Money doesn’t grow on trees.
We should be careful about money because it isn’t easy to get.
7. Business is business.
Business does not take into consideration other matters than those of business. What matters most is profit,
i.e., the amount of money you can make out of a business deal/transaction.
RESEARCH AND REPORT (p.60)
Assignment one
This is a research assignment. So students have to find information through the Internet. E.g. Punishment for
tax evasion is more severe in the U.S than in Algeria and England.
Assignment two
Have the students discuss the ethical issues in class. Elicit their own opinions about each of them. They don’t
have to agree about any of them.
LISTENING AND SPEAKING (pp.61-64)
Skills and strategies outcomes (p.61)
Have the students skim through the preview and discuss what these skills and strategies can possibly mean.
Before listening (p.61)
1. It’s ethically wrong because he is polluting the environment. All he is concerned with is profit.
2. Students should feel free to give their own opinions.
3. Many possible answers. These answers depend on answers to
question two above.
4. There are many possible answers. Students don’t have to agree with each other.
5. The students don’t have to agree. The most important thing is to encourage them to justisfy their answers.
As you listen (p.62)
Have the students skim through the text in the Coping Box to prepare them for the listening task.
Task 1 (p.62)
A. George B. Mark C. None D. George E. None F. George
G. Mark
Task 2 (p.62)
Let the students think about the issues before giving their opinions. Pair and group work.
After listening (p. 63)
Have the students skim through the text in the coping box and the items in the two tables before moving to the
task proper.
Say it in writing (p.64)
Ladies, gentlemen
Some people say that businessmen should apply their own personal ethical standards when doing business.
They tell us that you need money to make money; that the world of business is a jungle; and that if we respect
ethics, we can undermine the values of hard work and freedom. Let me tell you that I don’t agree with these
arguments at all. I believe that such arguments are only excuses to escape the responsibility of business
companies towards the welfare of society as a whole. As far as I am concerned, I say that ethics has everything
to do with business….
READING AND WRITING (pp.65- 70)
Skills and strategies outcomes (p.65)
Have the students skim through the preview to get them acquainted with the objectives of this section.
Before reading (p.65)
1.E.g. The right of the child for education ( See text on the Rights of the Child in SE2 textbook.) The child is
below the legal minimum age to work.
2. Many possible answers. They are unethical/criminal because …
3. Many possible answers. Students don’t have to agree.
4. Many possible answers. Students don’t have to agree.
As you read (p.66)
Task 1:
A.b This task is not testing students’ comprehension. So make sure they explain why the other choices are
false.
B. Social Auditing and its importance in business
Task 2 (p.66)
A. They are commissioning social audits because they are increasingly aware of the importance of social and
environmental issues for their reputation.
B. Giovani Preston travels to countries to check labour standards.
C. Labour standards: paying their workers fairly, good health standards - safety record with low levels of
illness and accidents - not using child labour
D. We can no longer separate ethics from business. (Students can provide many possible justifications.)
Task 3 (p.67)
A. commission B. prosper C. corporate D. designate
E. oversee F. suppliers G. scrutiny
After reading (p.68)
Let the students skim through the text in the coping box. Then illustrate the difference between lexical and
grammatical cohesion.
Synonymy, antonymy and hyponymy = lexical cohesion
Articles, possessive adjectives, demonstrative adjectives, pronouns= grammatical cohesion
Make it clear to the students that lexical and grammatical cohesion is important for comprehension.
Task 1 (p.68)
q Their (businesses), them (businesses), these (social audits), that (social audits), their (businesses), their
(businesses) §1
q They (supporters of social audits), it (social reporting) it (social auditing) company excutives (they), those
(companies) §2
q This criticism (a social audit may just be a public relations exercise),
them (executives), This ( the rest of the text between inverted
commas) §3
q There ( developing countries), Their: ( companies in the clothing industries) §4
q Ours (our company) §5
Task 2 (p.68)
Make sure students realize that identification of reference words can help them better understand the text.
Reading is not a linear activity. It is a coginitive activity which involves a backward and forward eye
movement in search of lexical and grammatical cohesion.
Task 3 (p.68)
(A)Algeria has recently adopted a new model of economic development. (D) This model balances economic
growth, social justice and the sustainable use of natural resources.(B) It has also set high standards of
governance including social auditing and public accounts reporting. (C) Such tasks are carried out by the
National Economic and Social Council and by the Accounts Court. F. In addition to the setting of standards of
governance, it has accorded ethically responsible companies tax reductions so as to encourage them to promote
sustainable development and social well-being.
E. Odd one out.
Writing development (pp.69-70)
The people and organisations who put their money into our fund want us to invest in ethical ways, and we
work hard to make their desires a reality. We consider that the conservation of the environment for future
generations a moral duty. Thus we avoid companies that endanger the environment. …
