rescued chilean miners, acclaimed as heroes ??
here is the whole article from the BBC on the rescue of the first of the 33 miners who were trapped for more than two months in a mine.
you can also watch the video.
If you think it is too complicated, here is a lighter version from September 17th. A new one should be coming soon.
It is interesting in this link to listen to the audio document and then try to read the article (the same document) while paying attention to pronounciation and intonation.
It is a very good training, even for almost fluent pupils.
the end of the operation is described here
some excerpts:
No one has survived as long trapped underground.
They are in far better condition than expected.
The supervisor of the mine said 'we have done what the entire world was waiting for'
'We had strength, we had spirit, we wanted to fight, we wanted to fight for our families and that was the greatest thing.'
Mr Pinera said:
'You are not the same and the country is not the same after this. You were an inspiration. Go hug your wife and your daughter.
'The miners are not the same people who got trapped on 5August They have come out stronger and they taught us a lesson. But Chile is not the same either.
I think Chile is mmore united and stronger than ever and I think Chile today is more respected and more valued in the whole world

globalisation
a mp3 definition on what exactly globalisation means and worksheets to memorise the content, try and do them and if necessary, listen to the document once more.
a worksheet to learn new vocabulary and to give you ideas in a future debate
the text which is refered to on question 5
the forum thread about the question. There you can read about other people's arguments, but you can also give your opinion
If you're the kind of pupils who never have any ideas on such topics, it would be good to go and read what other people think, and then make up your mind.
ENJOY!!!
