INSIGHTS FROM SINGAPORE

There are lots of things to like about living in
Singapore. As a tropical, multicultural metropolis with a
high standard of living, Singapore is comfortable and full
of interesting people. For people who love summer, the
5 weather is perfect for going to the beach, though very
humid. Singapore is a tiny nation with a booming
economy, so it’s easily policed and one of the safest
places in the world. The government is interested in the
welfare of its residents and the quality of education and
10 healthcare is of a high standard. As a nation with four
official languages, communication can be a fascinating
blend of sounds, words and phrases.
Singapore is not only a multicultural city but has four official cultural groups. Just
walking down the streets, you can see the variety of faces, dress and speech which reveals
15 the depth of Singapore’s multiculturalism. Many signs and announcements come in
multiple languages, with the majority of Singaporeans speaking more than one language.
There are so many restaurants representing food from so many Asian cuisines, not to
mention all the fusion. Mosques, Buddhist and Hindu temples, churches and synagogues
can be found sometimes within the same block. Holidays are also divided amongst
20 Christian, Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu special days.
Multiculturalism has always been right in front of my face. It’s been impressed on me
since I was young that culture is an important part of identity and that we must strive to
recognise and respect that value as much for others as we feel it for ourselves. Respecting
cultural values is one of the most important values in building a cohesive society,
25 particularly as the world grows more connected day by day. But I have also seen the
incongruous moments when this is not as easy as it sounds and have recognised the effects
of dominant cultures on minority cultures. I’ve learned that, just like relationships between
individual personalities, relationships between cultures can be a bumpy road, but there will
always be more benefit in unity than in separation. I’ve also seen that culture is constantly
30 evolving and mixing and that, like individuals, culture needs the opportunity to grow.
While multiculturalism has ideas of collaboration and respect at its core, as a rigid
policy it can also be harmful, particularly to individuals who often struggle with plans
meant to benefit groups on a larger scale. Cultural conflicts can also affect relationships as
the closer people get, the more some may expect those close to them to adopt the same
35 values. People who don’t fit neatly into traditional categories may have special advantages
or may also be rejected by groups who define themselves by distinction from other groups,
rather than by seeing themselves as a contributing factor to a larger, varied but unified
culture: that of Singapore as unified culture itself.
The pure joy of meeting people who are different from myself is the main benefit of
40 multiculturalism in my life. Experiencing new ways of thinking and using new
perspectives to re-examine my own is a continual inspiration and motivation. Language is
often the key as connecting with others in their first language can be a more personal and
emotional experience. As a food-lover, the continual mixing and creativity created by
cultures combining and sharing will always produce results I can appreciate daily! Finally,
45 the understanding of the things that connect us, often unexpectedly, helps to make me a
more empathic and supportive member of my community at a local, civic, national and
global level. Being a more supportive member of my community means more friends,
more work, more opportunities and more growth. As they say: if you want to go fast, travel
alone; if you want to go far, travel together.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

A viral pathogen can spread as fast as light in this globalized world, but the
phenomena of exclusion and discrimination can spread even faster. The Covid panic
has had results that we don’t see in the
case of flu or pneumonia – racism and
5 xenophobia.
With the progress of social networking,
the spread of racial stereotyping has been
aggravated during times of global
involvement, worsening the existing
10 prejudice people have towards various
communities. In present times, across the
internet, people are not only blaming the
Chinese for the Coronavirus but have gone
as far as criticizing their culture.
15 Popular posts frequently claim that the pandemic is caused by “dirty people who
can’t keep order” and are warning people to “think twice before ordering anything
Chinese.” However, it is not the first time we have had something like this: we also
saw it with the Ebola outbreak in 2014, but it appears that we have had not learned
from the past.
20 Likewise, the media is contributing to racial stereotyping. On a now-deleted
Instagram post, the University of California, Berkeley, supported the idea of
xenophobia being a “normal reaction” to the spread of the disease. To cite the viral
post, it said “please recognize that experiencing any panic or anger can be normal
reactions and that over the next few days or weeks, you may experience periods of…
25 xenophobia: fears about interacting with those who might be from Asia and guilt
about those feelings.” Although they did apologize for their post, it shone a light
upon the fact that xenophobia has always been around.
Unfortunately, social stigma, discrimination, and xenophobia are perpetual
phenomena that seem to have been intensified during this global outbreak. Although
30 the concerns over the Coronavirus are understandable, the stereotypes and exclusion
currently clouding society are not. Instead of excluding an entire race during this
frightful time, we should try to support them as a form of solidarity. It is imperative
to see us in all our diversity and challenge the existing stereotypes. We are all at risk
of getting sick, there is no one more or less worthy of health.
35 During this appalling time of uncertainty and fear, we must come together and get
rid of the existing prejudice we have. Please be aware of how you express your fear.
Anxiety and fear do not excuse your attitude. We're all fighting the same battle. After
all, united we stand but divided we fall.

1.1 / 1.2 Listening
1. Listen to three teenagers talking about their own experiences (as TCKs) at
international schools. Who says what? Write the name next to the sentence. [track 1]
(There are two extra sentences)
Kristina Anastasia Melanie

a. I had to deal with multiple cultures at once. _________________
b. International schools are shaped by both the local cultures
as well as the western culture. _________________
c. TCKs adapt easily. _________________
d. I realised that I was a TCK when I started to attend an
International School. _________________
e. Although international schools are a place where several cultures
meet, there is a sense that they are built around the Western culture. _________________
f. The classmates’ parents had jobs that required them to move around
the world a lot. _________________
g. I left my country and went to Europe when I was a little child. _________________
h. TCKs move around a lot and feel rootless. _________________
2. In the following text there are nine words that are not correct. Listen to [track 2]
the text, underline the wrong words and correct them.
An international school is built around the experience of TCKs so as to make their adaptation
easier from country to country and from international school to international school. The body
of students within an international school is incredibly disperse in terms of culture, countries of
origin, and the expanse to which each child is a TCK. International school kids all around the world
will have similar experiences when attending different international schools while still having to
find their own individual integrity. Although the other children might not be of the same country
of origin as oneself, relating to the experiences of other TCKs helps TCKs further develop
friendships and acquaintanceships within an international school. The common homebound of
being a TCK brings about a common feeling of identity for kids that attend international schools.
This relationship that is built on the grounds of being a TCK is incredibly important so that TCKs
can move around the world and still feel a sense of unity.

INSIGHTS FROM SINGAPORE

There are lots of things to like about living in
Singapore. As a tropical, multicultural metropolis with a
high standard of living, Singapore is comfortable and full
of interesting people. For people who love summer, the
5 weather is perfect for going to the beach, though very
humid. Singapore is a tiny nation with a booming
economy, so it’s easily policed and one of the safest
places in the world. The government is interested in the
welfare of its residents and the quality of education and
10 healthcare is of a high standard. As a nation with four
official languages, communication can be a fascinating
blend of sounds, words and phrases.
Singapore is not only a multicultural city but has four official cultural groups. Just
walking down the streets, you can see the variety of faces, dress and speech which reveals
15 the depth of Singapore’s multiculturalism. Many signs and announcements come in
multiple languages, with the majority of Singaporeans speaking more than one language.
There are so many restaurants representing food from so many Asian cuisines, not to
mention all the fusion. Mosques, Buddhist and Hindu temples, churches and synagogues
can be found sometimes within the same block. Holidays are also divided amongst
20 Christian, Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu special days.
Multiculturalism has always been right in front of my face. It’s been impressed on me
since I was young that culture is an important part of identity and that we must strive to
recognise and respect that value as much for others as we feel it for ourselves. Respecting
cultural values is one of the most important values in building a cohesive society,
25 particularly as the world grows more connected day by day. But I have also seen the
incongruous moments when this is not as easy as it sounds and have recognised the effects
of dominant cultures on minority cultures. I’ve learned that, just like relationships between
individual personalities, relationships between cultures can be a bumpy road, but there will
always be more benefit in unity than in separation. I’ve also seen that culture is constantly
30 evolving and mixing and that, like individuals, culture needs the opportunity to grow.
While multiculturalism has ideas of collaboration and respect at its core, as a rigid
policy it can also be harmful, particularly to individuals who often struggle with plans
meant to benefit groups on a larger scale. Cultural conflicts can also affect relationships as
the closer people get, the more some may expect those close to them to adopt the same
35 values. People who don’t fit neatly into traditional categories may have special advantages
or may also be rejected by groups who define themselves by distinction from other groups,
rather than by seeing themselves as a contributing factor to a larger, varied but unified
culture: that of Singapore as unified culture itself.
The pure joy of meeting people who are different from myself is the main benefit of
40 multiculturalism in my life. Experiencing new ways of thinking and using new
perspectives to re-examine my own is a continual inspiration and motivation. Language is
often the key as connecting with others in their first language can be a more personal and
emotional experience. As a food-lover, the continual mixing and creativity created by
cultures combining and sharing will always produce results I can appreciate daily! Finally,
45 the understanding of the things that connect us, often unexpectedly, helps to make me a
more empathic and supportive member of my community at a local, civic, national and
global level. Being a more supportive member of my community means more friends,
more work, more opportunities and more growth. As they say: if you want to go fast, travel
alone; if you want to go far, travel together.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

A viral pathogen can spread as fast as light in this globalized world, but the
phenomena of exclusion and discrimination can spread even faster. The covid panic
has had results that we don’t see in the case
of flu or pneumonia – racism and
5 xenophobia.
With the progress of social networking,
the spread of racial stereotyping has been
aggravated during times of global
involvement, worsening the existing
10 prejudice people have towards various
communities. In present times, across the
internet, people are not only blaming the
Chinese for the Coronavirus but have gone
as far as criticizing their culture.
15 Popular posts frequently claim that the pandemic is caused by “dirty people who
can’t keep order” and are warning people to “think twice before ordering anything
Chinese.” However, it is not the first time we have had something like this: we also
saw it with the Ebola outbreak in 2014, but it appears that we have had not learned
from the past.
20 Likewise, the media is contributing to racial stereotyping. On a now-deleted
Instagram post, the University of California, Berkeley, supported the idea of
xenophobia being a “normal reaction” to the spread of the disease. To cite the viral
post, it said “please recognize that experiencing any panic or anger can be normal
reactions and that over the next few days or weeks, you may experience periods of…
25 xenophobia: fears about interacting with those who might be from Asia and guilt
about those feelings.” Although they did apologize for their post, it shone a light
upon the fact that xenophobia has always been around.
Unfortunately, social stigma, discrimination, and xenophobia are perpetual
phenomena that seem to have been intensified during this global outbreak. Although
30 the concerns over the Coronavirus are understandable, the stereotypes and exclusion
currently clouding society are not. Instead of excluding an entire race during this
frightful time, we should try to support them as a form of solidarity. It is imperative
to see us in all our diversity and challenge the existing stereotypes. We are all at risk
of getting sick, there is no one more or less worthy of health.
35 During this appalling time of uncertainty and fear, we must come together and get
rid of the existing prejudice we have. Please be aware of how you express your fear.
Anxiety and fear do not excuse your attitude. We're all fighting the same battle. After
all, united we stand but divided we fall.

the increase in air travel and also immigration due to population movement most countries
now have small c. ethnic / moral minority groups living within them. These groups will have
their own culture and d. ethnicity / traditions, and it is this difference that can be said to
provide cultural e. background / diversity to a country.
Nations where there is much cultural diversity can also sometimes be known as a
multicultural society, this is the opposite of cultural f. uniformity / diversity. Diversity can take
many different forms, for instance certain citizens may have their own dress style, food,
g. race / language, traditions as well as different standards of h. morality / uniformity. The UK
can be described as a truly diverse and multicultural country because of the immigration that
has taken place there over the last fifty odd years.
You should also note that diversity is not just limited to i beliefs / ethnicity but can also
mean an indigenous person’s j. background / morality for instance their social class, sexual
orientation as well as their gender.

READING
You are going to read a text written by Fatimah Alayafi, who grew up as a Third Culture Kid.
FASCINATING YET COMPLICATED: THE IDENTITY OF A THIRD CULTURE KID.
We’re from everywhere and nowhere.
Born in Mexico City, my mother is Mexican
of Lebanese descent, my father an Arab. I was
brought up in five different countries, seven
cities, and far too many apartments. 1. ________
5 Yet sadly, I never learned Arabic despite it being
most of my family’s mother tongue. As for my
religious and spiritual beliefs? That’s
a WHOLE other topic.
As a Third Culture Kid (or TCK) myself, I
10 mainly identify myself as Mexican, until people
start asking questions. These are usually
regarding my last names, my English, my
physical features, and next thing I know I'm giving them a pitch on my life story.
So, what is it like to be a Third Culture Kid?
15 2. _________ Most TCKs spend their years overseas at international schools, yet many are
enrolled at local institutions if there aren’t significant language or cultural barriers. You find yourself
studying at a huge public elementary school in tropical South-East Asia, 40-something kids per
classroom, and no air conditioning; then a year later you’re at a small international school in Europe
with central heating, a homey environment, and piles of snow outside. Despite being drastically
20 different scenarios, you learn to adapt to both, finding the best of each experience, and building
memories that are forever dear to you.
During those years, you eagerly look forward to celebrating Chinese New Year, Christmas, Diwali,
Eid Al-Fitr, Día de Los Muertos, and other holidays depending on where you’re at. Decades later, you
still take note of those dates and feel nostalgic. I still find myself hunting mooncakes down in Mexico
25 City’s Chinatown when Chinese New Year comes round.
3. _________ Influenced by all sorts of ideas, you develop a broad worldview from a young age.
However, this can also be confusing, and establishing your own identity becomes a challenge. On the
upside, by age 8 you’re a tiny world who is multicultural, open-minded, and highly respectful of
others. Able to comprehend the social rules of other places, you can instinctively adjust your
30 personality to blend in.
4. _________ As a teenager, being the new kid at school and having to make new friends becomes
quite daunting. It takes you longer to adjust, and when you’re finally feeling comfortable, it's time to
move again. Yet over the years, you've grown to be resilient, brave, and confident that despite the
initial culture shock, you’ll adapt to this new location.
35 5. ________ Yes, some people will treat you differently due to your ethnic background, religious
beliefs, or even skin colour. However, on other occasions, you break stereotypes, forming friendships
with individuals who in other circumstances would’ve conflicted with you over political or religious
issues.
As for family, it's basically just your parents and your siblings. Cousins, uncles, grandparents,
40 you’ll see them once a year tops, and in most cases never getting round to properly bonding with them.
6. __________ So upon being repatriated, you begin limiting yourself by not fully expressing who
you are and trying hard to fit in by masking this uniqueness which you believe makes you “weird”.

READING
Read the text carefully.
ARE YOU A GLOBAL CITIZEN?

It seems that “global citizen” has become a buzzword of sorts for today’s travel-hungry youth.
More often than not, vacation selfies are paired with hashtags like #worldcitizen and #wanderlust.
But being part of the global community is about much more than the number of stamps in your
passport; it’s understanding (and implementing) a set of shared values that is priceless in today's
5 complex and interconnected world. If you are a global citizen, these eight characteristics should
sound familiar to you.
#1 You know the beaten path is often the known and
expected one. When a group of your friends decide to vacation
in Ibiza (again), you instead embark on a thrilling trek through
10 northern India. Global citizens are independent-minded and
never afraid of exploring the unknown.
#2 Sure, your Holi selfies look great on Instagram, but you
know there’s much more to the festival than tossing around
brightly coloured powder in a sea of other people. Global
15 citizens take time to learn about different cultures and
traditions because they realise it can go a long way in helping
them better understand the people, places, and events they
experience.
#3 We live in a complex world where there is a difference in opinion on just about everything
20 under the sun. Despite this, you believe we can all exist harmoniously. One thing all global citizens
recognise is that it is more important to understand one another than to agree on everything. Making
an effort to better understand where others are coming from is key to thriving in situations of diversity
and belonging to the world community.
#4 Although you may have never visited Nepal, when news spread of the devastating earthquakes
25 that killed thousands of people and left many more displaced or injured, you were emotionally
affected and felt compelled to help. Global citizens don’t let borders stand in the way of showing
compassion; they care for people all over the world.
#5 You believe the saying: the best things in life are free. As cliché as it may sound, you really
do think experiences trump material possessions and would pass on buying the latest tech gadget if
30 it meant you were able to spend your spring break exploring the ins and outs of an unfamiliar city.
Global citizens are always eager to broaden their minds with new experiences, which at the end of
the day are likely to last longer than something purchased at the mall.
#6 You don’t get overwhelmed easily and are always up for a challenge. Global citizens don’t
stand by and watch others come up with answers to the problems we all face. They may not
35 necessarily have solutions to each issue, but they’re able to make sense of complex situations and…
#7 … work alongside others to solve them. Global citizens are like great sports captains: they can
identify the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates and understand how to work with different
personalities to inspire others to contribute to the task at hand.
#8 Global citizens belong to an emerging world community and they recognize this as a
40
responsibility as much as it is a privilege. You understand your role in the world community and how
your actions help shape our world.

READING
ARE YOU A GLOBAL CITIZEN?

It seems that “global citizen” has become a buzzword of sorts for today’s travel-hungry youth.
More often than not, vacation selfies are paired with hashtags like #worldcitizen and #wanderlust.
But being part of the global community is about much more than the number of stamps in your
passport; it’s understanding (and implementing) a set of shared values that is priceless in today's
5 complex and interconnected world. If you are a global citizen, these eight characteristics should
sound familiar to you.
#1 You know the beaten path is often the known and
expected one. When a group of your friends decide to
vacation in Ibiza (again), you instead embark on a thrilling
10 trek through northern India. Global citizens are independent-
minded and never afraid of exploring the unknown.
#2 Sure, your Holi selfies look great on Instagram, but you
know there’s much more to the festival than tossing around
brightly coloured powder in a sea of other people. Global
15 citizens take time to learn about different cultures and
traditions because they realise it can go a long way in helping
them better understand the people, places, and events they
experience.
#3 We live in a complex world where there is a difference in opinion on just about everything
20 under the sun. Despite this, you believe we can all exist harmoniously. One thing all global citizens
recognise is that it is more important to understand one another than to agree on everything. Making
an effort to better understand where others are coming from is key to thriving in situations of diversity
and belonging to the world community.
#4 Although you may have never visited Nepal, when news spread of the devastating earthquakes
25 that killed thousands of people and left many more displaced or injured, you were emotionally
affected and felt compelled to help. Global citizens don’t let borders stand in the way of showing
compassion; they care for people all over the world.
#5 You believe the saying: the best things in life are free. As cliché as it may sound, you really
do think experiences trump material possessions and would pass on buying the latest tech gadget if
30 it meant you were able to spend your spring break exploring the ins and outs of an unfamiliar city.
Global citizens are always eager to broaden their minds with new experiences, which at the end of
the day are likely to last longer than something purchased at the mall.
#6 You don’t get overwhelmed easily and are always up for a challenge. Global citizens don’t
stand by and watch others come up with answers to the problems we all face. They may not
35 necessarily have solutions to each issue, but they’re able to make sense of complex situations and…
#7 … work alongside others to solve them. Global citizens are like great sports captains: they can
identify the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates and understand how to work with different
personalities to inspire others to contribute to the task at hand.
#8 Global citizens belong to an emerging world community and they recognize this as a
40 responsibility as much as it is a privilege. You understand your role in the world community and how
your actions help shape our world.

You are going to read a text about refugees who try to reach the UK.
NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL
When you live in a safe and comfortable
home, it’s easy to take it for granted –
especially if you’re craving a holiday or
simply a change of scenery after spending
5 more time home than usual this year. But for
those fleeing war, climate change, torture or
other brutal situations, leaving home hasn’t
been a choice taken lightly. War, persecution,
and the effects of climate change don’t pause
10 for a pandemic.
Recently, there’s been a spotlight on a particular group of people searching for a safe
place to call home: those crossing the English Channel on small, flimsy, and often
overcrowded boats to seek sanctuary in the UK. They are men, women, and children –
everyday people like you and me – who have the right to seek a safer life. And because they
15 have no other choice, they must risk their lives for it.
We need to show empathy and offer a humanitarian alternative to help people reach
safety, rather than policies that effectively slam shut the doors on people who need help.
Every single person crossing the Channel is a human being with a right to seek safety –
and a Refugee Convention that backs up that right. Seeking sanctuary isn’t a crime. The few
20 desperate men, women, and children on those boats aren’t a “threat”, or “illegal”, or the
cause of a “crisis”. The only difference between us and them is where we happened to be
born – and luck.
People are crossing the Channel because they’re desperate. And that makes sense, as they
come from some of the most chaotic and war-torn areas of the world – Yemen, Eritrea, Chad,
25 Egypt, Syria, Libya, Sudan, and Iraq. They have no homes left to go back to.
When people leave France to cross the Channel, they do so in desperation, and for reasons
such as fear of exploitation or trafficking, the threat of police brutality or simply wanting to
reach their family already in the UK. Also, according to the UN Refugee Convention, there
is no rule forcing refugees to claim asylum in one country over another, nor do people have
30 to stay in the first so-called “safe” country they reach.
The only way to claim asylum in the UK is in person – so people must arrive on UK soil
before having their claims heard. Getting here is dangerous, and once you get here, the UK’s
hostile environment policies ensure that surviving here is no holiday either.
Resettlement schemes enable some of the most vulnerable people to be relocated from
35 camps to other countries. But the UK resettlement scheme has been frozen since March,
leaving people with no “legal” option to get to the UK. Human beings can’t be illegal. It’s
inhumane to force people to choose between a perilous journey and their right to claim
asylum here.
The vast majority of people who are refugees are hosted in neighbouring countries to
40 those they are fleeing. For example, there are 3.6 million refugees in Turkey, versus just over
125,000 in the UK. And even compared to other European countries, like Spain, France,
Germany and Greece, the UK has taken only a small percentage of refugees.
Everyone has a right to a life lived in safety, and with dignity. We must embrace our
shared humanity to help those who need it. Lend your voice. Take action now and demand
45 safe and legal routes to the UK. And most of all, remember that no human is illegal.

Two speeches from the Climate Summit COP26
Brianna Fruean
When I was a little girl, I was taught the importance and impact
of words. In my culture there is a proverb that goes, “e pala ma’a
ae lē pala upu”. It means that even stones decay, but words
remain.
5 A lesson in knowing how words can be wielded. How text can
change everything. How each word you use is weighted. How
switching one word or number can reframe worlds. How “climate
action” can be vastly different from “climate justice”. How 2 degrees could mean “the end” and 1.5
could mean “a fighting chance”.
10 You all have the power here today to be better. To remember that your meeting rooms and
drafting documents are not just black and white objects. To remember that in your words, you
wield the weapons that can save us or sell us out.
I don’t need to remind you of the reality of our vulnerable communities. You don’t need my pain
or tears to know that we’re in a crisis. The real question is whether you have the political will to do
15 the right thing, to wield the right words and follow it up with long overdue action.
If you’re looking for inspiration on climate leadership, take a look at young Pacific people. We
are not just victims of this crisis, we have been resilient beacons of hope.
As Pacific youth we have always rallied behind the warrior cry “we are not drowning, we are
fighting”. This is my message from Earth to COP. I hope you remember my words, because “e pala
20 ma’a ae le pala upu”.

Txai Surui
My name is Txai Surui, I’m only 24 but my people have been
living in the Amazon Forest at least 6,000 years. My father, the
Great Chief Almir Surui, taught me that we must listen to the stars,
5 the moon, the wind, the animals, and the trees.
Today the climate is warming. The animals are disappearing. The
rivers are dying, and our plants don’t flower like they did before.
The Earth is speaking. She tells us that we have no more time!
A friend asked me, will we continue to think that today’s injuries can be resolved with ointments
10 and painkillers, even though we know that tomorrow our own wounds will be deeper. We need a
different path, with both local and global changes. It’s not 2030 or 2050. It’s now. While you are
closing your eyes to reality, the land defender Ari Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau, my friend since when I was a
kid, was murdered for protecting the forest.
Indigenous people are on the front line of the climate emergency, and we must be at the centre
15 of the decisions happening here. We have ideas to post on the end of the world.
Let us stop the answering with lies and fake promises. Let us end the pollution of hollow words.
Let us fight for a liveable future and present. It is always necessary to believe this dream is possible.
May a utopia be our future on Earth.

2.3 / 2.4 Reading
The advertising industry is fuelling climate disaster

To confront the climate emergency, the amount we
consume needs to drop dramatically. Yet every day
we’re told to consume more. We all know about air
pollution – but there’s a kind of “brain
5 pollution” produced by advertising that, uncontrolled,
fuels overconsumption. And the problem is getting
worse.
Advertising is everywhere, so prevalent as to be
invisible but with an effect no less insidious than air
10 pollution. It’s woven into our personal communications whenever we use social media
platforms. In public spaces, where we have little choice over where we look, adverts are
invasive, appearing without our consent. And the trend towards digital billboards only
exposes us ever more. Some big companies even boast about how “unmissable” digital
screens are on busy roads, “captivating audiences” when drivers would be better off
15 watching the road.
1. __________ Extensive scientific research shows that, when exposed to advertising,
people “buy into” the materialistic values and goals it encourages. Consequently, they report
lower levels of personal well-being, experience conflict in relationships, engage in fewer
positive social behaviours, and experience detrimental effects on study and work. Critically,
20 the more that people prioritise materialistic values and goals, the less they embrace positive
attitudes towards the environment – and the more likely they are to behave in damaging
ways.
2. __________ Brands that have been made familiar through advertising have a strong
influence on the choices people make. Brands and logos have also been shown to generate
25 strong preferences between virtually identical products, such as fizzy drinks – preferences
that disappear in blind tests. Researchers looking to assess the power of advertised
brands concluded that, “there are visual images and marketing messages that have insinuated
themselves into the nervous systems of humans.”
Indeed, some of the earliest work in this area concluded, “Scary as it may sound, if an ad
30 does not modify the brains of the intended audience, then it has not worked.” Yet this is little
known more widely. Through a combination of experience and ad exposure connected to
emotional responses, brands and their logos become more “mentally available”. 3. __________
Still other research demonstrates how exposure to different brands can influence behaviour,
for example making them behave less honestly, or creatively. Customisable tools for neural
35 profiling are now available to test the effectiveness of brands and logos on consumers, giving
rise to what has become known as “neuromarke ting”.
4. __________ But advertising heavily polluting products and services, such as for fossil
fuels, aviation and petrol-engined cars, is particularly damaging.
Tackling “brain pollution” requires action equivalent to the campaign to end tobacco
40 advertising. New checks and balances need to accommodate the natural concerns of councils
and residents around climate, air pollution, environmental light pollution, mental health, and
the dominance of non-consensual adverts in public spaces.
5. __________ But as the climate crisis bites, its role is set to rise up the agenda.
Campaigners are calling for legislation against high-carbon advertising, focusing on fossil
45 fuel companies, petrol- and diesel-engined cars and aviation; at municipal level, places
like Norwich, Liverpool and north Somerset are introducing measures to end high-carbon
advertising; and an EU-wide campaign is now following a ban on the Amsterdam
metro. Tackling brain pollution won’t just make us feel better, but help clear the air too.

Two speeches from the Climate Summit COP26
Brianna Fruean
When I was a little girl, I was taught the importance and impact
of words. In my culture there is a proverb that goes, “e pala ma’a
ae lē pala upu”. It means that even stones decay, but words
remain.
5 A lesson in knowing how words can be wielded. How text can
change everything. How each word you use is weighted. How
switching one word or number can reframe worlds. How “climate
action” can be vastly different from “climate justice”. How 2 degrees could mean “the end” and 1.5
could mean “a fighting chance”.
10 You all have the power here today to be better. To remember that your meeting rooms and
drafting documents are not just black and white objects. To remember that in your words, you
wield the weapons that can save us or sell us out.
I don’t need to remind you of the reality of our vulnerable communities. You don’t need my pain
or tears to know that we’re in a crisis. The real question is whether you have the political will to do
15 the right thing, to wield the right words and follow it up with long overdue action.
If you’re looking for inspiration on climate leadership, take a look at young Pacific people. We
are not just victims of this crisis, we have been resilient beacons of hope.
As Pacific youth we have always rallied behind the warrior cry “we are not drowning, we are
fighting”. This is my message from Earth to COP. I hope you remember my words, because “e pala
20 ma’a ae le pala upu”.

Txai Surui
My name is Txai Surui, I’m only 24 but my people have been
living in the Amazon Forest at least 6,000 years. My father, the
Great Chief Almir Surui, taught me that we must listen to the stars,
5 the moon, the wind, the animals, and the trees.
Today the climate is warming. The animals are disappearing. The
rivers are dying, and our plants don’t flower like they did before.
The Earth is speaking. She tells us that we have no more time!
A friend asked me, will we continue to think that today’s injuries can be resolved with ointments
10 and painkillers, even though we know that tomorrow our own wounds will be deeper. We need a
different path, with both local and global changes. It’s not 2030 or 2050. It’s now. While you are
closing your eyes to reality, the land defender Ari Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau, my friend since when I was a
kid, was murdered for protecting the forest.
Indigenous people are on the front line of the climate emergency, and we must be at the centre
15 of the decisions happening here. We have ideas to post on the end of the world.
Let us stop the answering with lies and fake promises. Let us end the pollution of hollow words.
Let us fight for a liveable future and present. It is always necessary to believe this dream is possible.
May a utopia be our future on Earth.

2.3 / 2.4 Reading
The advertising industry is fueling climate disaster

To confront the climate emergency, the amount we
consume needs to drop dramatically. Yet every day
we’re told to consume more. We all know about air
pollution – but there’s a kind of “brain fWS_Reading_2.3_2.4a
5 pollution” produced by advertising that, uncontrolled,
fuels overconsumption. And the problem is getting
worse.
Advertising is everywhere, so prevalent as to be
invisible but with an effect no less insidious than air
10 pollution. It’s woven into our personal communications whenever we use social media
platforms. In public spaces, where we have little choice over where we look, adverts are
invasive, appearing without our consent. And the trend towards digital billboards only
exposes us ever more. Some big companies even boast about how “unmissable” digital
screens are on busy roads, “captivating audiences” when drivers would be better off
15 watching the road.
1. __________ Extensive scientific research shows that, when exposed to advertising,
people “buy into” the materialistic values and goals it encourages. Consequently, they report
lower levels of personal well-being, experience conflict in relationships, engage in fewer
positive social behaviours, and experience detrimental effects on study and work. Critically,
20 the more that people prioritise materialistic values and goals, the less they embrace positive
attitudes towards the environment – and the more likely they are to behave in damaging
ways.
2. __________ Brands that have been made familiar through advertising have a strong
influence on the choices people make. Brands and logos have also been shown to generate
25 strong preferences between virtually identical products, such as fizzy drinks – preferences
that disappear in blind tests. Researchers looking to assess the power of advertised
brands concluded that, “there are visual images and marketing messages that have insinuated
themselves into the nervous systems of humans.”
Indeed, some of the earliest work in this area concluded, “Scary as it may sound, if an ad
30 does not modify the brains of the intended audience, then it has not worked.” Yet this is little
known more widely. Through a combination of experience and ad exposure connected to
emotional responses, brands and their logos become more “mentally available”. 3. __________
Still other research demonstrates how exposure to different brands can influence behaviour,
for example making them behave less honestly, or creatively. Customisable tools for neural
35 profiling are now available to test the effectiveness of brands and logos on consumers, giving
rise to what has become known as “neuromarketing”.
4. __________ But advertising heavily polluting products and services, such as for fossil
fuels, aviation and petrol-engined cars, is particularly damaging.
Tackling “brain pollution” requires action equivalent to the campaign to end tobacco
40 advertising. New checks and balances need to accommodate the natural concerns of councils
and residents around climate, air pollution, environmental light pollution, mental health, and
the dominance of non-consensual adverts in public spaces.
5. __________ But as the climate crisis bites, its role is set to rise up the agenda.
Campaigners are calling for legislation against high-carbon advertising, focusing on fossil
45 fuel companies, petrol- and diesel-engined cars and aviation; at municipal level, places
like Norwich, Liverpool and north Somerset are introducing measures to end high-carbon
advertising; and an EU-wide campaign is now following a ban on the Amsterdam
metro. Tackling brain pollution won’t just make us feel better, but help clear the air too.

READING
WE CAN SAVE THE EARTH

We hear a lot about how terrible the world is today. Greenhouse gas emissions are rising,
scientists’ extreme weather predictions appear to be coming true, the air in our cities
is becoming dangerous, groundwater is getting scarce, ocean health and fish stocks are
declining, forests and natural habitats are being destroyed, plastic in our ocean is out of
5 control and researchers warn that a “biological annihilation” of wildlife means a human-
driven sixth mass extinction event is under way.
Worse still, earth systems scientists warn that, because of our impact on the planet, we
risk flipping ourselves into a highly risky “hothouse earth” scenario, with uncontrolled
feedback driving faster warming and more droughts and storms.
10 This doesn’t make an easy bedtime story for those who have their whole lives still ahead
of them. And it sets us up for an even more unfair world as we get close to nine billion people
on the planet. This challenge is arriving on
our watch, so what are we doing about it?
For years, big environmental problems
15 were for governments and international
organizations to solve, and we deferred to
their leadership for action and delivery. But
despite all the efforts, protocols and funds,
the overall state of our global environmental
20 commons has worsened.
In the last few years, a revolution in the
environmental agenda has quietly taken
shape, slowly at first, then spreading into a
movement, which now appears
25 unstoppable. This is a revolution in
collaboration for action – a new drive for
environmental cooperation that is helping NGO and CEO leaders to bind business,
communities and civil society organizations together to a common purpose; a public-private
repositioning that is helping environment ministers to marry “earth” targets with “economic”
30 targets; and a realignment that helps companies turn the risks inherent in environmental
failure into new business model opportunities and partnerships for smart, clean industrial
production.
People have realised that governments and international organizations, while vital for
agreeing on global targets cannot be expected to deliver them alone. Environmental goals
35 cannot be met just by environment ministries, no matter how much money they are given. It
is now clear to all in the environment agenda that it takes unprecedented levels of
collaboration and innovation involving many outside of the public sector to trigger the big,
systemic changes required to achieve these ambitious goals (like keeping warming to less
than 2o C).
40 This awakening is happening across forestry, ocean, water, cities and food systems. It
involves the mobilization of states, cities, provinces, civil society groups, business and
investors, and innovators and technologists. It is also happening across global supply chains,
such as agricultural commodities, plastics and electronics, as companies learn to work with
each other, forging new collaborative systems to drive long-term environmental
45 improvements.
It is an exciting time to enter the environmental space. The action revolution is beginning,
but we still have a long way to go. However, by unleashing these new forms of innovation,
which are intent on delivering the global targets and unlocking new, sustainable forms of
economic value on the way, we can save the Earth by 2030.

READING
THE PARADOX OF THE “SUSTAINABLE INFLUENCER”

One cannot scroll on social media without the
bombardment of ads and influencer-promoted
product posts pushing fast fashion hauls onto
unassuming consumers.
5 Influencer marketing has become increasingly
popular online, and is expected to become more
powerful, driving the latest trends, and therefore the
purchases of many individuals. Influencer
marketing has grown with the expanded use of
10 social media, and therefore, brands have begun to
utilize this form of advertising more frequently,
many having their own “influencer relations” department or specialist. Influencers are an
extremely effective method of marketing because of the perceived trust between follower
and influencer.
15 With that being said, increased discussion of sustainability online due to ongoing
environmentally-friendly trends has produced a new type of influencer: the Sustainable
Influencer. The sustainable influencer is someone who participates in influencer marketing
that specifically promotes products that are considered to be sustainable, ethical, and/or
eco-friendly. However, while sustainable influencers are vocal in promoting sustainably and
20 ethically-produced products, they run amiss in a number of ways.
Sustainable influencers often promote brands that do not put sustainability into practice.
Since sustainability has become a trend, especially among fashion brands, greenwashing*
has become more prominent within influencer-based advertising. With the right
sustainability jargon, even the most unethical brands can seem as though they have good
25 intentions for the environment and for garment makers. Sustainable influencers are (or can
be) paid to promote a product or brand in a particular way, which can promote greenwashing.
Granted, not all sustainable influencers promote greenwashed products, but monetary
incentives involved with influencer work can cause many to overlook a brand’s true
practices, which are often abhorrent.
30 In addition to the intentional or accidental promotion of non-sustainable products, most
sustainable influencers ultimately make their living off of the promotion of consumerism,
which in practice is not sustainable. The excessive consumption of clothing goods has led to
the current state of waste in the fashion industry.
Even if a garment or product is produced sustainably and ethically, it is still possible to
35 over-consume. The overconsumption of ethical goods does not contribute to a more
sustainable future, and the only way for a “slow” fashion future to exist is to slow down all
aspects of production, which includes the consumption of clothing goods. The irony isn’t
lost that many sustainable influencers perpetuate the idea that individuals need to buy more
clothing or items to achieve a fashionable lifestyle worth photographing and hashtagging.
40 As consumers, it is important to remember that products promoted by sustainable
influencers are not guaranteed to be what they claim to be. After all, the most sustainable
items are the items of clothing that already live in someone’s closet, not the clothing in
sustainable influencer posts.

Greenwashing is the use of generic, sustainably-minded verbiage in brand advertising in order to create an
ethical or sustainable facade.

READING
WE CAN SAVE THE EARTH

We hear a lot about how terrible the world is today. Greenhouse gas emissions are rising,
scientists’ extreme weather predictions appear to be coming true, the air in our cities
is becoming dangerous, groundwater is getting scarce, ocean health and fish stocks are
declining, forests and natural habitats are being destroyed, plastic in our ocean is out of
5 control and researchers warn that a “biological annihilation” of wildlife means a human-
driven sixth mass extinction event is under way.
Worse still, earth systems scientists warn that, because of our impact on the planet, we
risk flipping ourselves into a highly risky “hothouse earth” scenario, with uncontrolled
feedback driving faster warming and more droughts and storms.
10 This doesn’t make an easy bedtime story for those who have their whole lives still ahead
of them. And it sets us up for an even more unfair world as we get close to nine billion people
on the planet. This challenge is arriving on
our watch, so what are we doing about it?
For years, big environmental problems
15 were for governments and international
organizations to solve, and we deferred to
their leadership for action and delivery. But
despite all the efforts, protocols and funds,
the overall state of our global environmental
20 commons has worsened.
In the last few years, a revolution in the
environmental agenda has quietly taken
shape, slowly at first, then spreading into a
movement, which now appears
25 unstoppable. This is a revolution in
collaboration for action – a new drive for
environmental cooperation that is helping NGO and CEO leaders to bind business,
communities and civil society organizations together to a common purpose; a public-private
repositioning that is helping environment ministers to marry “earth” targets with “economic”
30 targets; and a realignment that helps companies turn the risks inherent in environmental
failure into new business model opportunities and partnerships for smart, clean industrial
production.
People have realised that governments and international organizations, while vital for
agreeing on global targets cannot be expected to deliver them alone. Environmental goals
35 cannot be met just by environment ministries, no matter how much money they are given. It
is now clear to all in the environment agenda that it takes unprecedented levels of
collaboration and innovation involving many outside of the public sector to trigger the big,
systemic changes required to achieve these ambitious goals (like keeping warming to less
than 2o C).
40 This awakening is happening across forestry, ocean, water, cities and food systems. It
involves the mobilization of states, cities, provinces, civil society groups, business and
investors, and innovators and technologists. It is also happening across global supply chains,
such as agricultural commodities, plastics and electronics, as companies learn to work with
each other, forging new collaborative systems to drive long-term environmental
45 improvements.
It is an exciting time to enter the environmental space. The action revolution is beginning,
but we still have a long way to go. However, by unleashing these new forms of innovation,
which are intent on delivering the global targets and unlocking new, sustainable forms of
economic value on the way, we can save the Earth by 2030.

You are going to read a text about regenerative tourism.
REGENERATIVE TOURISM: EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY
The travel and tourism sector is at a pivotal

moment in its evolution. There are those who
believe things will return to normal and there
are those who recognise the need for radical
5 change. This group cites all the evidence
illustrating that the pace of global change is
increasing and the existing economic system
is failing due to inherent flaws made evident
by an obsession with continuous growth and
10 the culture around how many define success.
Tourism cannot grow ad infinitum and remain largely unaccountable for its externalities.
The good news is that it doesn’t need to. We can build tourism back better through
regenerative tourism. Tourism can regenerate cultural heritage, communities and degraded
ecosystems, and support their recovery.
15 Tourism has inherent negative environmental impacts and is extractive in nature when
it’s not well-managed. Sustainable tourism is oftentimes focused on sustaining current
tourism activities and or limiting environmental damage and negative impacts on host
communities. Avoiding the use of plastics, hiring and buying locally, using renewable
energy and the like are all well-known examples. It’s not enough.
20 If we are to resuscitate a dying economy and the natural systems that sustain all life, a
completely different approach to tourism development and management has to be taken.
Regenerative tourism has quickly emerged as the solution, but it’s no silver bullet. It is a
complete deviation from the industrial production and consumption tourism model.
Embracing and fostering such change requires a shift in mindset to understand how tourism
25 and hospitality, and the heritage, economy, and ecology of a place work together as a living
system.
There is no globally taken definition for regenerative tourism. It’s focused on how
tourism can make destinations better for both current and future generations. It involves
tourism businesses, communities, donors, and government collectively drawing upon
tourism to holistically make net positive contributions to the well-being of visitors, residents,
30 host communities, and the environment to help them flourish and create shared prosperity.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. And, according to the regenerative tourism
visionary and thought-leader, Anna Pollock, it is not possible to plan or micro-manage a
regenerative recovery. It is, however, possible to create the conditions that enable a living
system to survive, thrive and evolve. This applies to the tourism system, and everyone
35 involved in the value chain has a role to play.
Fortunately, a number of examples are emerging as regenerative recovery measures are
being taken by destinations and stakeholders around the world – from small businesses and
community members working together to regenerate clear-cut rainforest and farmlands to
large municipalities and countries embracing doughnut economics.

b. ____. A life affirming regenerative tourism that works with wholes and not parts, with
permeable boundaries not hard lines of demarcation, is better able to integrate tourism with
those other life support systems expressed in the place – be they hydrological, food-based,
socio-cultural, political or economic.
c. ____. It pays less attention to parts and more to relationships and the integration of systems
not their separation. This holistic approach starts with a view of the guest as a whole human
being having a complete experience; not a segment to be targeted but a living being playing
a particular role in a specific place and time.

DOES DOING WHAT YOU LOVE FOR A LIVING COME WITH A PRICE?
The idea of doing what you love for
a living has always been alluring. As
the adage sometimes attributed to
Confucius goes: “Choose a job you
5 love and you’ll never work a day in
your life”. And this sentiment has
perhaps never been more pertinent;
since the pandemic hit, more of us have
been reconsidering our working lives.
10 New research shows we increasingly
want to care about – even love – our
professions. In this context, turning a
hobby or interest into a career may seem like the obvious choice.
But is there a downside to combining our passions and our working lives? Does the
15 reality mean turning a beloved hobby into a spreadsheet-filled obligation? And how do you
switch off from your job when the boundaries between work and leisure become blurred?
There are also finances to consider, if your passion doesn’t earn you enough money to live
the lifestyle you want. So, is doing what you love for a living really all it’s cracked up to be?
There’s plenty of new evidence to suggest people want to find work that suits them
20 better. A 2021 McKinsey survey showed two-thirds of all US-based workers said the
health crisis had made them re-evaluate their purpose in life, and 50% were reconsidering
the kind of work they do as a result. For some, developing and monetising their hobbies is
a potential solution. In another survey of 2,000 Americans, 60% said they had improved
their skill in one or more hobbies since the pandemic hit the US in March 2020, and 40%
25 thought it was “very” or “extremely” likely that they would be able to make money from
the hobby once the pandemic was over.
Turning an enjoyable hobby into something profitable can feel like a direct way to
improve well-being. Engaging with activities that bring us joy enriches us, explains New
York-based clinical psychologist Yesel Yoon. “If you allow that kind of part of yourself to
30 be active, that helps you in the long run develop a greater sense of psychological well-
being and happiness.”
Doing work we are interested in can also bring about a deep sense of purpose. Rikke
Hansen, a career-change advisor and podcaster from London, who often helps people
transition to new ventures in fields they are passionate about, says people who successfully
35 move into fields that they love reap real benefits. “You get autonomy, you get mastery and
you get purpose. And that’s the most motivational way to work,” she says.
Yet the reality of making your passion into your career also comes with complications.
When work is deeply intertwined with identity, it can also become difficult for people to
put a price on what they do. People may undercharge for their work either because they
40 lack confidence, or they feel that, as the work is enjoyable, it is something they would be
willing to do for free. A Deloitte study showed that people who were passionate about their
jobs were willing to work longer hours and be more available due to “internal drive to
learn and improve”.

3.1 / 3.2 Reading
DOES DOING WHAT YOU LOVE FOR A LIVING COME WITH A PRICE?
The idea of doing what you love for
a living has always been alluring. As
the adage sometimes attributed to
Confucius goes: “Choose a job you
5 love and you’ll never work a day in
your life”. And this sentiment has
perhaps never been more pertinent;
since the pandemic hit, more of us have
been reconsidering our working lives.
10 New research shows we increasingly
want to care about – even love – our
professions. In this context, turning a
hobby or interest into a career may seem like the obvious choice.
But is there a downside to combining our passions and our working lives? Does the
15 reality mean turning a beloved hobby into a spreadsheet-filled obligation? And how do you
switch off from your job when the boundaries between work and leisure become blurred?
There are also finances to consider, if your passion doesn’t earn you enough money to live
the lifestyle you want. So, is doing what you love for a living really all it’s cracked up to be?
There’s plenty of new evidence to suggest people want to find work that suits them
20 better. A 2021 McKinsey survey showed two-thirds of all US-based workers said the
health crisis had made them re-evaluate their purpose in life, and 50% were reconsidering
the kind of work they do as a result. For some, developing and monetising their hobbies is
a potential solution. In another survey of 2,000 Americans, 60% said they had improved
their skill in one or more hobbies since the pandemic hit the US in March 2020, and 40%
25 thought it was “very” or “extremely” likely that they would be able to make money from
the hobby once the pandemic was over.
Turning an enjoyable hobby into something profitable can feel like a direct way to
improve well-being. Engaging with activities that bring us joy enriches us, explains New
York-based clinical psychologist Yesel Yoon. “If you allow that kind of part of yourself to
30 be active, that helps you in the long run develop a greater sense of psychological well-
being and happiness.”
Doing work we are interested in can also bring about a deep sense of purpose. Rikke
Hansen, a career-change advisor and podcaster from London, who often helps people
transition to new ventures in fields they are passionate about, says people who successfully
35 move into fields that they love reap real benefits. “You get autonomy, you get mastery and
you get purpose. And that’s the most motivational way to work,” she says.
Yet the reality of making your passion into your career also comes with complications.
When work is deeply intertwined with identity, it can also become difficult for people to
put a price on what they do. People may undercharge for their work either because they
40 lack confidence, or they feel that, as the work is enjoyable, it is something they would be
willing to do for free. A Deloitte study showed that people who were passionate about their
jobs were willing to work longer hours and be more available due to “internal drive to
learn and improve”.

FUTURE SKILLS YOU’LL NEED IN YOUR CAREER BY 2030

In a few years’ time, in the year 2030, it’s highly
likely you’ll be working in a job that doesn’t even
exist yet – and no, we’re not talking about building
flying cars or developing the world’s first time
5 machine. The world of work is evolving quickly,
which means you have to figure out how to prepare
for a future job role that’s impossible to predict.
Of course, there isn’t a crystal ball that can tell us
exactly what skills will be needed and what skills
10 won’t. However, we’ve come up with five skills we believe you’ll need to succeed in your
future career, whatever it ends up being.
1. _____________________________
The rise of digital technologies means you’re going to need to be able to handle the
plethora of opportunities and challenges that come with it. Do you have the ability to adapt
15 to change and conceptualize complex multiple ideas all at once? If so, you’re showing
qualities that reside in advanced multi-taskers and which are highly valued by employers
and recruiters.
2. _____________________________
As the world continues to rely on highly technical and continuously evolving
20 technologies, the need for those with the digital skills to match also increases. You’ve most
definitely heard of STEM, but have you heard of SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics and
Cloud)? Although it may seem like we’re being bombarded with digital buzzwords, being
digitally literate offers capabilities beyond what was once thought possible when it comes
to emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, Internet of
25 Things (IoT) and data science.
3. ______________________________
Although robots and automation technology may be better than humans in some ways,
such as calculations and diagnostic solving, it’s still going to be humans that deal with the
subjective side of data analytics. Considering we’re on the cusp of the fourth industrial
30 revolution, we’re still going to need to have somebody who is able to show the world what
numbers mean and their significance.
4. ______________________________
Many things can be replaced by digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence, but
these skills remain uniquely human capabilities. In some sectors, these qualities are
35 absolutely crucial. The demand for jobs in healthcare, for example, are on the increase –
demonstrating how some roles will always require a human element. Your future job is
more than likely going to include working closely with others, so having empathy, the
ability to collaborate, as well as excellent communication skills is something you’re most
definitely going to need.
40 5. _______________________________
A report by the World Economic Forum in 2018 suggesting robot automation will
create more jobs than they displace, so you’ll do well as long as you can think outside the
box. Much like having an excellent sense of social intelligence, natural imagination is
something which can’t be easily replicated by the latest digital technologies.

TECH ENABLES, BUT HUMANS MAKE THE RULES

Covid disruption could be the turning
point for adopting – finally – quality work-
life practices proposed for decades. Flexible
schedules, equal opportunity for women and
5 minorities, a good balance between work
and family, and socially responsible
companies have long been on the horizon as
distant hopes.
One driver is technology. Tech contributes
10 to change by enabling work from anywhere.
It transforms institutions and makes services more accessible, whether education online or
health care through telemedicine, robotic surgery or home health monitoring. Labour
shortages in poorly paid routine jobs make room for robots, such as the robotic
restaurant in my tech-heavy neighbourhood. Goodbye, wage slavery.
15 But tech won’t make a workers’ paradise without bigger reforms. In-person face time is
still an advantage for workers who can get to a workplace, which means that they need
accessible childcare and transportation, which have yet to materialise on a large scale. And
a tech-dominated world carries troubling possibilities for control through increasingly
sophisticated surveillance techniques, unless worker autonomy is protected.
20 Another potent driver of change is worker activism, led by younger top talent.
Emboldened by competition for their skills and fuelled by a mistrust of establishments,
they protest undesirable customers, environmentally unfriendly products, rigid work
requirements, discriminatory treatment and serial harassers. They seek greater participation
in decisions, self-organizing to act directly rather than waiting for permission. They
25 reinforce external pressure groups in holding businesses to ever-higher standards, and thus
help corporate social responsibility programs.
That’s not enough. Unless workplaces better help workers realize their family priorities
and personal values, jobs will cease being a central source of identity. The Great
Resignation could continue, especially if entrepreneurship becomes a viable path for
30 women and racial minorities – when they can break through the white male privilege on
venture capital. Even for the well-paid, jobs will be a sidetrack, dispensed with quickly so
that the real business of living can begin. The charity road race will replace the rat race.
The best work situations will offer opportunities for community service.
Work won’t morph from wage slavery into a workers’ paradise without a culture and
35 public policies that require accessible childcare, flexible schedules, a voice in decisions
and social responsibility. Tech enables, but humans make the rules.

The impacts of technological change on work and employment are multifaceted. a. _____.
It can both create and displace jobs and the effects of technology on employment will
depend on the strength of any job displacement effect. b. _____ – rather, there is scope for
paid work to grow with the advance of technology. Indeed, technology itself enables new

affects the nature and quality of work itself. c. _____ Just as technology may help to
improve skills and raise the quality of work, so it can also produce processes of deskilling
and create low paid, low autonomy work. Importantly, while technology can help to
preserve work, it can also generate shifts in the qualitative experience of work.

1. Read the synopsis of the film Billie Elliot and put the plot in the correct order.
a. The film is set during the 1984/1985 UK miners’ strike,

and centres on the character of 11-year-old Billy Elliot,
his love of dance and his hope of becoming a
professional ballet dancer.
b. Billy returns home with his father. Some time later, he
receives a letter accepting him at the Royal Ballet
School, and he leaves his family to go there.
c. Both Jackie and Tony are coal miners out on strike.
d. But, passionate about dancing, Billy secretly continues his lessons with his dance teacher
Georgia Wilkinson’s help.
e. Georgia believes Billy is talented enough to study at the Royal Ballet School in London, but
due to Tony’s arrest during a skirmish between police and striking miners, Billy misses the
audition.
f. Georgia goes to Billy’s house to tell Jackie about the missed opportunity. Jackie and Tony,
fearing that Billy will be considered a “poof”, are outraged at the prospect of him
becoming a professional ballet dancer.
g. Billy lives with his widowed father Jackie, older brother Tony, and his invalid Nan, who
once aspired to be a professional dancer in Durham.
h. He then happens upon a ballet class that is using the gym while their usual basement
studio in the Sports Centre is temporarily being used as a soup kitchen for the striking
miners.
i. However, as a final question, they ask him what it feels like when he’s dancing, to which
Billy responds, “like electricity.”
j. Jackie attempts to cross the picket line to pay for Billy’s training, but is blocked by Tony.
Instead, his fellow miners and the neighbourhood raise money for Billy, and Jackie takes
him to London to audition for the Royal Ballet School.
k. Jackie takes Billy to the Sports Centre to learn boxing, but Billy dislikes the sport.
l. Later, Jackie sees Billy dancing in the gym and realises his son is truly gifted, and he
decides to do whatever it takes to help Billy make his dream come true.
m. Despite being extremely nervous, Billy performs well, but after he punches another boy in
an unprovoked attack at the audition, he is sternly rebuked by the review board.
n. Billy joins the ballet class without his father’s knowledge.
o. When Jackie discovers what’s been happening after the boxing coach mentions Billy’s
absence, he forbids Billy to take any more ballet.
p. The film’s final scene is set fourteen years later, when Billy has finally attained his goal:
the mature Billy takes the stage to perform the lead in Swan Lake, as Jackie, Tony, and
Michael watch in the audience.
