Underline the linking words/phrases and replace them with synonymous ones. "What could be done to improve the lives of the elderly?" For many elderly people the latter part of their life is not a time to relax and enjoy retirement, but rather a difficult and unhappy period, owing to financial worries, failing health and loneliness. As life expectancy increases, the average person lives well beyond the age of retirement. As a result, the elderly make up an ever-increasing percentage of society, which makes it more important than ever for a real effort to be made in improving the lives of senior citizens. One way to deal with the situation would be to ensure that the elderly have enough money on whch to live. Obviously, when a person stops working, they still require a source of income to cover their basic nees such as food, accommodation and heating. A clear solution to the problem is for the government to make sure that the state pension is adequate for these needs. Furthermore, free financial advice should be made available to retired people so that the stress of worrying about money could be reduced as far as possible. Steps should also be taken to overcome problems the elderly face as a result of deteriorating health due to old age, and inadequate health-care provisions. Again, the responsibility should fall to the government to provide access to the best health-care available, which may necessitate paying for residential homes where the elderly can have round-the-clock nursing, or, at the very least, providing medication free of charge to all people over a certain age. As a result, old people would enjoy not only better health, but also peace of mind from the knowledge that they need not fear falling ill and being unable to pay for treatment. The lives of old people could also be improved if attempts were made to address the problem of social isolation which so many of them face. If we organized trips for the elderly to community centres, visits from social workers or free bus passes to allow pensioners greater mobility, the effect would be to alleviate the problem of loneliness which marks the lives of so many old people living alone and far from their families. One final suggestion, which would help enormously, is to change the attitude of the community towards its older members, who are all too often seen as a burden on society and dismissed as having little to do with modern life. We need to be taught from an early age to respect the views of old people, and appreciate their broader experience of life. This would help society as a whole, and encourage appreciation of the role that old people can still play today. To sum up, there are several measures which could be taken to improve the lives of old people. If the government and individuals alike were to help, it would make retirement and old age a time to look forward to, rather than dread.

a. keep idle youths off streets and away from crime. b. eradication of poberty which is a major cause of crime_._ c.discouraging criminals with mmediate police presence. d.make criminals afraid of consequend.ces of being caught. Rewrite the following sentences using the words in brackets without changing the meaning.

  1. The environmental damage caused by factories will probably become more extensive if adequate measures are not imposed. (quite likely to)
  2. If the number of patrols is reduced, burglaries in teh area will almost certainly increase. (highly probable)
  3. The public will probably react negatively to any decisions by the government to increase taxes. (bound to)
  4. The problem of overpopulation will probably not be solved over the next few decades. (rather unlikely that) Look at each of the following sentences, identify the problem and say what solution is suggested.
  5. One way to dal with pollution in cities is to promote the use of public transport.The result of this would be fewer cars polluiting the atmosphere.
  6. One way to combat dfamine would be to provide affected countries with financial aid.
  7. An effective method of combating the spread of disease in poverty-stricken areas of the world might be to send doctors from developed countries.
  8. One wy to prevent illnesses such as heart disease is to ensure you take regular exercise and follow a healthy diet.
  9. It could help the world's rain forests if we used more recycles paper. **In the essay below there are a number of mistakes. Read the modeland underline examples of the following:
  10. Three misused linking words.
  11. An over-generalisation
  12. an irrelevant sentence.
  13. A sentence containing over-emotional language
  14. two sentences written in very informal colloquial language
  15. two irrelevant/unclear topic sentences. Correct the essay.** Various ecosystems are being systematically destroyed by man. What measures do you think should be taken to prevent further destruction? We can scarcely turn on our televisions or pick up a newspaper these days without being confronted with yet another depressing news item about the environment. As the population of many cities increases, more and more land is being converted from its natural state to accommodate homes and factories. The direct result of this is the systematic destruction of different ecosystems all over the world which, in turn, has led to seas becoming polluted with poisons, rivers becoming contaminated by pesticides and the air becoming polluted with fumes from vehicles and industry.

While teh problems of pollution and habitual destruction are obvious, the solutions are elusive. Moreover, serious attempts to halt the destruction of ecosystems must be made immediately. As Paul Claudel once said: "Nature is only an immense ruin". Clearly, individuals need to become more aware of the consequences of their actions and should act more responsibly. Only if people do so will the Earth be saved from further destruction and the world become a healthier, safer place to live in. People should not expect governments to provide all the solutions. Citizens must begin to recycle goods and packaging whenever possible, as well as buy only environmentally friendly products. Nonetheless, domestic food scraps should be recycled; dfor example, potato peelings and melon rinds can be turned into substances that enrich the soil. By doing this, we can reduce the amount of non-biodegradable waste bing dumped at rubbish tips, thus ensuring that materials such as glass and plastic are not left in earth which could be used as farmland in the future. Despite this, individuals can help protect the earth by using public transport whenever possible. Where such facilities do not exist, sharing lifts is recommended to reduce traffic congestion, noise and vehicle emissions on the roads. The less petrol our societies burn, the better the air quality will be. In addition, if there were fewer cars in circulation, there would be fewer road accidents. Another possible measure to combat industrial pollution would be the imposition of strict fines on wicked, greedy corporations and unfeeling, ignorant businesses which contaminate land, air or water. To be effective, the fines should be heavy enough to deter potential polluters; if they are too small, they could simply be regarded by industries as "the cost of doing business" and they might be ignored. Finally, governments should be far more responsible. All governments have the funds and technology to provide solar, wind, geothermal and tidal power. The problem is that many governments couldn't care less and wouldn't lift a finger to help their countries by funding research to develop such sources or to discover new ways to produce energy. If, however, this were to happen, the consequence would be that depletion of finite resources such as oil and coal would be slowed down, or even halted altogether. To sum up, the earth is suffering as a result of the destruction wreaked upon it by humanity. Don't you think it's time we cleaned up this dreadful mess? DISCUSS AND WRITE Look at the following topic and then asnwer the questions below. Discuss the problems of unemployment and offer possible solutions.

  • What has caused the problem?
  • What are the consequences?
  • Match each of the suggestions (1-3) below with the corresponding result (a-c)
  1. Governments to create incentives/subsidise industries. a. reduce crime/social problems connected with idleness/boredom.
  2. Better education/training so workers can operate computers, sophisticated machinery, etc. b. Create more positions, limit number of workers made redundant.
  3. Free sports/recreational centres for unemployed to help people spend their time constructively. c. People will have proper qualifications for types of jobs available.
  • Can you suggest any other solutions to this problem? What would the expected result of each be?
