Building Skills / Book 4 Introduction Secondary school students need to be prepared for the world in which they live. Book 4 accomplishes this task by providing challenging and appropriate educational experiences that develop the individual intellectually, morally and socially. Students will be able to communicate effectively, read proficiently, and think critically, as well as to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of basic life skills. As it is important for students to have the opportunity to learn and apply life skills at school, these skills are addressed into the subject content area for students to become successful citizens. All students will make decisions and solve problems by specifying goals, identifying resources and constraints, generating alternatives, considering impacts, choosing appropriate alternatives, and evaluating results. Students will appreciate the importance of these skills and become lifelong learners and successful in the global community.

Book 4 brings to light four essential goal areas for secondary school students: Character, Communication, Community and Career.

The Goal Areas

Character Communication

Career

Community

A

Character

Students of all ages need to get a kind of education, which will reinforce character building, or education. It teaches students about basic human values and ethics including honesty, trustworthiness, caring, courage, fairness and respect. The goal is to help students become morally responsible and self disciplined citizens.

Students will recognize how character and behaviour affect and influence the actions of others. They will seek and model positive personal development, learning and growth.

Communication

Communication is a give-and-take process that includes selecting, analyzing, and giving information to others using a variety of methods.

Communication skills are essential to successful performance in the workplace.

Students will learn techniques to communicate clearly. All students will apply basic communication skills (e.g., reading, writing, speaking, and listening), as well as the appropriate communication strategies for a given situation.

They will listen well and offer productive feedback. They will be introduced to communication barriers and sequences of these barriers.

Career

The ability to identify personal interest, aptitudes and qualities of character that lead to a career path is an essential goal area for students to discover. Students will understand the academic skills needed in several occupational fields. They will use acquired knowledge to choose among a variety of career paths.

Students will acquire, organize, interpret, and evaluate information from career awareness and exploration activities, to identify and to pursue their career goals.

Community Social responsibility is an obligation that leads to realize and support the welfare of individuals and society. This includes participating in social activities, recognizing community problems, valuing common properties, and respecting authority figures.

Students will develop their awareness of their responsibilities as good citizens. They will be encouraged to participate in community service and B

social activities. They will voluntarily respond to the needs of others. They will also gain knowledge of the important role of the authority in the community.

Course components: Building Skills 4 consists of a student’s book, a workbook, a teacher’s manual and audiotapes.

Student’s Book: consists of four core units and two review units. Each unit consists of eight lessons that cater for the four major language skills; e.g.

Listening, speaking reading and writing.

Workbook: provides practice activities. These exercises provide additional practice to the teaching material presented in class. The workbook can be used in class or for homework.

Teacher’s Manual: gives detailed suggestions on how to teach the book with answer keys. In addition, teachers are encouraged to use authentic material as extra practice.

Audiotapes: they contain recordings of listening activities and readings.

Guide to Building Skills / Book 4 The Book Map: A helpful guide for teachers. Under each unit title, a summary of content, language and strategy of the unit is provided.

A Chapter Breaker: Introduces the unit and builds up student expectations.

It sets the specific goals of the unit.

Lesson One: Discussion introduces the topic and the vocabulary of the unit, with a variety of activities.

Lesson Two: Vocabulary building strategy is presented in a contextualized manner. Vocabulary of the unit is pre-taught and are recycled throughout the unit.

C

Lessons Three and Four: Reading lessons elaborate on the topic and present the reading strategy. Each reading selection is preceded by pre-reading and followed by post reading exercises.

Lesson Five: Grammar and Translation: Grammar is functional based and follows the same content theme of the units. It is presented in context and contains different types of communicative activities. Translation is presented to throw light on the unit grammar. Students demonstrate understanding of the nature of language through comparisons of the target language and Arabic.

Lesson Six: Listening and Speaking are functional in nature. Theme- related dialogues are presented in natural language. Speaking activities are used as post listening activities to give students a chance for more language practice and development.

Lessons Seven and Eight: Writing lessons provide different techniques to help students come up with ideas and develop thinking skills. Drafting is the actual writing. At this stage, students express their ideas and feelings freely.

Reviewing, Editing and Writing the Final Draft come as a final step of the writing process. Peer revision is required.

Character is defined as the combination of qualities in a person.

However, it is important to understand that most people have positive and negative qualities. In other words, a person may have strong and weak qualities. These qualities affect our self-discipline; that is our ability to control ourselves. In addition, they affect our decisions which are the choices we make. Thus, it is important to identify our weakness in order to strengthen our character. One way of strengthening our character is by writing a personal development plan, which is a list of actions you need to take in order to achieve a goal. While writing your personal development plan, make sure you set SMART goals. SMART, stands for the characteristics of our goals, which should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Rewarding and Timed.

Our goals, whether short-termed or long-termed, will succeed if planned carefully.

Active Reading A Read the first part of Monty's story, then do the skillful decision making

activity.

The Story of Monty Monty was the son of a horse trainer of little means, that is having very little money. During the last year of school, Monty's teacher assigned his class a writing project asking then to describe what they wanted to be when they grew up. Monty was very excited about the assignment. He knew exactly what he wanted; he had a goal and had already made plans to reach it. His seven-page essay described in details the 200-acre ranch that he wanted to own. His essay also included a drawing of the ranch and a detailed floor plan of his 4,000 square foot home. Despite the effort Monty put into his paper, he got an "F" on it. There was also a note from his teacher to see him after class. The teacher told Monty that the reason he had given him that grade was that his paper was unrealistic. He went on to explain the reasons why, and then he told Monty that if he would rewrite the paper with a more realistic goal, he would reconsider the grade.

The conclusion of this true story has the teacher bringing 30 students for a summer camp out at 200- acre ranch of the now successful Monty who lives in his 4,000 square foot dream home.

This story shows that courage requires intention, will power, as well as and applying energy in the direction - we want to do, we usually find the time and energy for it is the us forword successfully.

After considering it for a week, the young man turned in the same paper with on changes, along with the remark, "you can keep the fand i'll keep my dream."

Personal Development Plan or Action Plan A personal development plan is a list of actions that you need to take to achieve a goal. It will help you plan what to do, how, when and how long. It will also help you overcome any difficulties you may face as you move towards your goal. In other words; a personal development plan can be considered a road map that will get you from point A to Z when goals are set.

Active Writing: Drafting: Personal Development Plan Essay In the essay that describes your plan, write your goal in the introductory paragraph. In the body, list the steps. Use time order words to clarify the sequence of the steps. In the concluding paragraph, restate your goal.

Time order words First – First of all-To begin with Second – Third Next – Then After – Afterwards – After that Finally – Lastly – In the end

Read the PDP essay below. What is the writer's goal and what are the steps he will take to achieve it?

I have always dreamt of working with the UNICEF, but by being honest with myself I found that I need to be more responsible and more caring. Hence, I'll have to work upon these personal traits.

Firstly, I will work hard to be more caring. I will do some community service like participating in our neighborhood committee to help the poor and the needy. I will collect money and distribute food and medicine. So, by this time next year, I will have participated in, at least, two community projects.

Secondly, to become more responsible person I have decided to do all my school assignments independently without asking for help. I will not allow myself to postpone any school assignment. I have also planned to assign for myself some house chores such as washing the car twice a week or setting the dinner table every evening. I will increase the number of house chores gradually to increase my responsibilities, which will also force me to manage my time more wisely. Thus by the end of this years I will have become a more responsible person who is a skillful time manager.

Page 23

If I follow this plan, I strongly believe that by time I am 20, I will have become caring enough and responsible enough to be able to.

Vocabulary Strategy: Prefixes and Suffixes *(Review) Prefixes and suffixes are word parts. When these parts are added to a root word, they often change the meaning of the word and its part of speech.

For example, "commune" is a root word. By adding the suffix "-cate" and the prefix "mis-" you can make new words such as "communicate" and "misscommunicate".

A Read, then underline the words with prefixes and or suffixes.

Communication is the process of exchanging information. Information is conveyed in three forms; words, tone of voice, and body language.

Studies have shown that words account for 7% of the information communicated. Tone of voice accounts for 55% and body language accounts for 38%. To be effective communicators and to avoid misunderstandings, team members must be aware of the three forms, and how to use them effectively. This will help avoid communication barriers which are the cause of most misunderstandings.

Active Reading A When a misunderstanding takes place, the cause is usually communication

barriers. This means that either the listener is not listening effectively or the speaker does not send the message clearly. Read the first two paragraphs of “First-Day Employee” to underline the communication barriers.

B Read the story to complete the decision making graphic organaizer.

First-Day Employee My family had a small dairy business.

Each morning we got milk from farmers, pasteurized it and put it into bottles for home use, schools and restaurants. We were also known for our home made ice cream and friendly welcoming staff. So it was no surprise that in addition to our regular customers, rows of tourists lined up to taste my father's famous ice-cream and enjoy our southern hospitality. This made it necessary for my father to hire extra help during summer. I had worked for my father since I was young, so I had seen many new employees come and go. One day, we had a new employee, Duke, who wanted to work in the store for the summer. He had never done this type of work before but we really needed the extra hand.

On his first day, Duke practiced just about every DON'T in any book of communication.

He managed to build so many barriers between himself and the others in a way I have never seen before. When taking orders, Duke did not make eye contact with the customers; he did not hesitate to turn his back to them. He also talked really fast and his voice was not clear. I was really angry, but I didn't want to embarrass him so I went up to him, looked him in the eye and said, "Eyes, Eyes." Apparently, Duke did not get my message because he got me a glass full of ice. On the other hand, maybe he just wanted to tease me though he was too busy and it was not the right time.

I felt sorry for our customers, but it was impossible to get my message through to Duke. I looked towards my father's office and noticed that he had been watching Duke. No doubt he had seen everything through his glass office. I went in and said, "Dad, please put an end to this. He's going to drive everyone away." My father sat down and said "I'll deal with it later."

Page 31

At the end of the day, before closing, my father walked to Duke with a big smile on his face, put his hand on Duke's shoulder and said, "Duke, I have been watching you all day, and I saw how you treated the poor old man." My father continued "This man comes regularly to my store; I've never seen any one of my employees so polite to him.

Keep up the good work".

In return for being a wise and kind employer, my father got a trustworthy and hardworking employee for sixteen years ... and a friend for life. As for me, I had a life long lesson in communication.

Reading Strategy: AUTHOR'S PURPOSE The Author's Purpose is the reason why an author writes. It may be to inform, to entertain, to persuade or to express.

An author may give you facts or true information about a subject to inform you.

Some authors write fiction or stories that are not true to entertain you.

Other authors may write to persuade or get you to do something.

An author may write to express his ideas, feeling or opinion about something.

However, writers often combine purposes in a single piece of writing; for example a story may entertain and persuade or entertain and express.

C Read the story again, then answer the questions: 1 The author's purpose for writing "First Day Employee" is to: a inform & express. b entertain & persuade. c persuade & express. d entertain & express.

2 The moral of the story is that communication skills: a cannot be learned. b are easy to learn. c build strong relationships.

A Read to identify the author's purpose.

Understanding Character A lot of times, we hear people talk about someone as 'a man of character.' Sometimes, a person might be described as an 'unreliable character.' Other times, we find people referring to someone as 'quite a character'!

What exactly is character? The dictionary would tell you that it is, basically, a set of qualities that defines a person. This means that you are characterized by certain habits, qualities or attitudes. Their combination, form the basis on which your character is judged.

A person's character can have positive or negative associations. For instance, when someone is called 'a man of character', the unsaid adjective is a positive one. It means that he is ethically and morally upright and can be trusted.

On the other hand, a person described to have an 'unreliable character' or 'deceitful character', the negative association is clear. This direct statements are often softened by using words that have more than one meaning such as 'clever' instead of saying 'cunning.' When someone "has character," he is unique. This means he has a strong distinctive personal trait that sets him apart from others. He may be funny, awkward, interesting or ridiculous.

In Addition, every quality you have goes into the building of your character. If someone were to describe YOU as a character, they would look at all aspects of your personality, including your mood, reactions and other people’s opinion of your strengths. In fact, the last aspect – other people’s opinion of your character – is what goes into giving you a reputation, whether good or bad.

Skillful Decision Making A Our character traits affect our decisions. Our decisions affect our future. Read

the first part of "The Pebble-Shooter" then apply the steps of skillful decision making to decide what Mansay should do?

L

ONG AGO in Laos, the Land of a Million Elephants, there once lived a 10-year-old orphan named Mansay. The boy was born lame and could not walk, but other boys in the village were kind and included him in their games as often as they could. However, Mansay had spent a lot of time alone, and as a result had become very skilled at shooting pebbles. He would practice shooting pebbles at faraway targets and could hit leaves in the top most branches. Younger boys gathered ! pebbles for him and watched as he always hit his mark. One morning the village boys made a cart for Mansay with wheels and moved him to the shade of a large tree where he could create more beautiful shapes. He flicked his pebbles to create the outline of elephants that seemed to move whenever the wind blew. The boys were having so much fun they didn't hear a march approach.

It was the king on his way to a nearby city. Frightened at the sudden appearance of the guards, the boys quickly rolled Mansay's cart out of sight and hid themselves behind the trees.

Under the tree the King commanded his men to stop and rest.

When the wind blew, he was startled to see images of elephants on the ground moving about as if they were alive. He called in a ! loud voice to his guards, "What is this? Whoever created it - Find them" " I shall take them to the castle”. The boys heard the King's commanding voice saying: "Find them!" and they ran as fast as they could, leaving poor Mansay behind.

Mansay was soon discovered and, was brought before the King. "Who has done this?" said the King in a commanding tone, pointing to the images on the ground.

Mansay sat there shaking not knowing what to say.

D Read the rest of the story to find out what Mansay has decided?

"I did," Mansay whimpered, not knowing what else to say.

"Ah, so it was you?" said the King, stroking his chin. "Prove it." He told his guards to gather some pebbles. "Make another picture," he ordered. Just then a bird landed on a low branch. Mansay flicked pebbles onto a leaf in the shape of the bird. The King laughed heartily and clapped his hands.

"My son," said the King, "you have a remarkable talent." He was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes…I know exactly what you can do for me." He ordered his guards to lift Mansay onto an elephant. Mansay did not know where he was taken or why. After traveling for a number of days, the grand buildings of the capital of Laos came into view.

"Now young man," said the King to Mansay after he was bathed and clothed “I have an important job for you. Soon I will meet with my councilors. One of them talks too much, and I need him to be silenced so I can hear what the others have to say. You will sit behind the curtain. There is a hole in a curtain. You'll be able to see the councilor I'm talking about. Let him speak for ten seconds. Then shoot a mud pellet through the hole, directly into his mouth. Whenever he opens his mouth to speak after that, you must do it again.

"Mansay was carried to a chair behind the curtain and handed a basket of mud pellets. As soon as the King opened a question for his councilors to debate, the councilor he had described seized the opportunity to talk. After ten seconds - thwop! - something revolting flew into his mouth. He immediately closed his mouth and swallowed the vile thing, whatever it was. He found another opportunity to speak, but when he opened his mouth - thwop! again a terrible tasting thing - and he had no choice but to swallow. and so it went for the rest of the meeting, much to his confusion. "My friend," said the King, at the end of the meeting "I can see you finally realized how important it is to allow others to speak. I'm pleased and impressed with you!" "Well. I actually...! said the councilor. Actually what? said the King.

Page 60

Oh, nothing, what I've always said...That it's a wise man indeed who will listen to what others have to say."

"Good man!" said the King, smiling.

From then on, Mansay was invited to stay at the King's castle for as long as he liked.

In the years that followed, he never lacked for food or shelter, or an audience.

Forming compound words Compound nouns are nouns that are usually formed by combining two words to form a new word. They can be formed in different ways, one of them is noun + noun.

Examples: post + office = post office; history + book = history book; mineral + water = mineral water, mail + box = mailbox, town + house = townhouse, car + seat = car seat, play + ground = play ground … etc.

There are three different ways to write a compound word: 1 The closed form, in which the nouns are written as one word, such as "firefly –

keyboard – notebook … etc."

2 The hyphenated form in which the nouns are hyphenated such as "self-esteem, -

ski-boot, … etc."

3 The open form, in which nouns are written as two separate words such as "smoke

1 Read the following. Underline all the compound words (noun + noun)

Teenagers often have a negative attitude or a mixed feeling of fear and anger towards authority figures. They tend to think that authority ! figures deprive them of their rights and weakens their personality."We are grown ups," They say. "We have our own personality and can make our own decisions." In order to change this negative attitude and develop a positive relationship with authority figures, teenagers need to be aware of the importance of having authorities.

No complete is complete without authority figures, such as parents, teachers, policemen, etc. These people have the right to make citizens obey the rules.

They enforce rules only to safeguard the community and make it an orderly place.

Imagine your neighborhood without traffic lights or road signs and no policemen.

Imagine your school without a schedule or school hours and no teachers.

As authority figures make life easier and less confusing, it is very important to develop a positive relationship with them. Teachers are there to help you if you have a problem; go to them for advice. They are older and have more experience. Respect them by obeying the rules. Rules and regulations are there for your benefit. Never break them.

Always tell the truth and be responsible for your actions.

Respecting authority figures and knowing how important they are in a community makes obeying rules much easier.

Active Reading Read the story then answer the questions.

Rescue at Sea Years ago, in a small fishing village in Holland, a young boy taught the world about the rewards of unselfish service. The entire village depended upon the fishing industry, thus a volunteer rescue team was formed in case of emergency.

One night the winds raged, the clouds burst and a strong storm overturned a fishing boat at sea. Stranded and in trouble, the crew sent out an S.O.S. The captain of the rescue rowboat team sounded the alarm and the villagers gathered in the town square overlooking the bay. While the team launched their rowboat and fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited restlessly on the beach, holding lanterns to light the way back.

An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the cheering villagers ran to greet them. Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely overturned the rescue boat and all would have been lost.

Frantically, the captain called for another volunteer team to go after the lone survivor. Sixteen-year-old Hans stepped forward. His mother grabbed his arm, pleading "Please don't go. Your father died in a shipwreck ten years ago and your older brother, Paul, has been lost at sea for three weeks. Hans, you’re all I have left."

Hans replied, "Mother, I have to go. What if everyone said, 'I can't go, let someone else do it’? Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the duty calls, we must do our part no matter what." Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and disappeared into the dark.

Page 70

Another hour passed, which seemed to Hans' mother like an eternity.

Finally, the rescue boat rushed through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow. Cupping his hands, the captain called, "Did you find the lost man?" Barely able to contain himself, Hans excitedly yelled back, "Yes, we found him. Tell my mother it's my older brother, Paul!"

Translation of Modals Modals: Unlike the English language, Arabic does not have modals; however it has other words or phrases that are used for the same purpose. The modals 'can', 'could' are translated as: (‫)ﻳﺳﺗﻁﻳﻊ ﺃﻥ ﺃﻭ ﻳﻣﻛﻧﻪ ﺃﻥ‬ The modals ‘may’ and ‘might’ are usually translated as : (‫)ﻗﺩ ﺃﻭ ﺭﺑﻣﺎ‬ The modals ‘should’ and ‘must’ are translated as : ( ‫) ﻳﺟﺏ ﺃﻭ ﻳﺟﺏ ﺃﻥ‬ ‫ ﺃﻭ ﺗﻐﻳﻳﺭ‬.‫ ﺍﻟﺦ‬... ‫ ﺍﺳﺗﻁﻳﻊ‬،‫ ﺗﺳﺗﻁﻳﻊ‬،‫ ﻳﺳﺗﻁﻳﻊ‬:‫ﻋﻧﺩ ﺍﻟﺗﺭﺟﻣﺔ ﻳﺟﺏ ﻣﺭﺍﻋﺎﺓ ﺗﻐﻳﻳﺭ ﺍﻟﻔﻌﻝ ﻟﻛﻲ ﻳﻧﺎﺳﺏ ﺍﻟﺿﻣﻳﺭ ﻣﺛﻝ‬ ‫ ﺍﻟﺦ‬... ‫ ﻋﻠﻳﻪ‬/ ‫ ﻋﻠﻳﻙ‬/ ‫ ﻳﺟﺏ ﻋﻠﻲ‬:‫ ﺍﻟﺿﻣﻳﺭ ﻣﺛﻝ‬.

Translate the following: A You might ask yourself, “What can I do to be a good citizen?” Being a good

citizen is showing that you care about the community. Waiting politely in line, getting rid of trash without littering, being careful with public property are all different ways you practice to show sense of belonging.

C Like a healthy human body, a healthy community is one in which all systems

function as they should, and work together to make the community functions well. In an individual, health is, to a large extent, the result of the cooperative work of billions of body cells to give the body what it needs. Likewise a healthy community should have all citizens work hand in hand not only to survive but to grow.

Every day when students arrive at 6:45 a.m., there is loads of garbage that has not been collected from the day before. This does not only look and smell horrible but it is also the cause for many health problems.

I would really appreciate it if you reschedule the garbage collectors to pick up the garbage before the time we arrive to school.

Career means a job or an occupation with the chance for progress and promotion. Planning for a career is important for high school students.

It is the search for answers to questions about ourselves and the choices available: • What are my interests?

• What are my abilities? (listening, reading, writing, computer skills, categorizing, decision making, planning, team work…etc) • What should I do after I graduate: continue with school or get a job?

• What kind of school should I attend: vocational, college, university, other?

• What are the different career paths?

• What major should I choose?

• What is important to my future career: income, success, security, co-workers, and environment, something else?

• How to choose a career path?

Finding answers to these questions can help you in your career planning.

Remember that your career will affect your finance, your life style, your social circle and your leisure time. It will also affect your satisfaction with life.

Active Reading A Read the story and find out why the student changed his college major and

career path several times.

As a senior high school student, you are probably thinking about graduation and what comes next. You’ve got many important decisions ahead of you. What are you going to do after graduating? What are you going to study in college? What do you want to do with your life? These are just a few of the many questions high school students face.

During high school, I was faced with these questions. To be honest, I wasn't really sure what my interests were or what career path to choose. So when my father suggested medical school, I thought it might be a good idea.

My first year in medical school was a disaster. I had to take courses such as physics, chemistry and biology. I found great difficulty in understanding the new terms. So, it was only natural that my grades declined and eventually failed the year. This ended the medical career path that my father had chosen for me. Believe it or not, I was quiet relieved. In fact, I couldn’t see myself as a doctor; I guess I didn't have the heart for it.

So I had to make another choice.

Later, I was accepted into the college of engineering, I was quite pleased. I remember my uncle proudly saying "Engineers do it better," so I started the year with great enthusiasm. At that time, I didn't realize that maths was not my passion. Working with so many numbers confused me; I also hated the statistics course. By the end of the term, I realized that engineering was not the thing for me either. It was not surprising then that the year ended with an even greater disappointment. I started doubting my abilities to succeed. I was losing my self-confidence. I no longer knew what to do or what to study.

Finally, in a desperate attempt to make a decision, I attended a course on career planning.

This course changed my view on life and the way I looked at myself. I realized that I was not alone; many young people face difficulties in choosing a career path. I learned that planning is the key to reach goals and to achieve success. The lecturer said, "If you wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes, If you don't wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes."

This old African saying explained it all. It helped me think about my life and what I wanted out of it. During the course, I filled in a number of questionnaires that helped me identify my skills, preferences and aptitude. I was also exposed to possible career choices that matched my interests. By the end of the course, I was confidently able to select the major that fit my ability, skills and my deep interest in exploring the world.

Page 93

My only regret is that I did not know about all these things in school. I made many mistakes and wasted a lot of time. The point is, if I had known what steps to take to plan my career sensibly, I could have avoided failures and struggle.

choose. So when my father, suggested medical school I thought it might be a good idea. It can be inferred that the father: a suggested that all students go to medical school. b expected his son to succeed in medical school. c wanted to go to medical school.

2 My first year in medical school, was a disaster. I had to take courses such as physics, chemistry and biology. I didn't enjoy these courses; I found great difficulty in understanding all the new terms. So, it was only natural that my grades declined and eventually failed the entire year. It can be inferred that the writer was: a disappointed. b satisfied. c accepted.

3 Later, I was accepted in the college of engineering, I was quite pleased. I knew that my uncle would be proud of me. I remembered my uncle proudly saying "Engineers do it better," so I started the year with great enthusiasm It can be inferred that the uncle is working in the field of: a business. b engineering. c education.

4 "If you wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes. If you don't wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes." It can be inferred from the old African saying that: a you better plan for the future, it will come any way. b Africans think of tomorrow as their future. c don’t wait for the future it will not come.

5 By the end of the course, I was confidently able to select a major that would lead me to the career path that fits my ability and my deep interest to explore the world. It can be inferred that the writer wanted to become: a an engineer. b an astronaut. c a pilot.

Grammar and Translation

Lesson

Translating participial adjectives Usually the past participle is translated as “‫”ﺍﺳﻡ ﺍﻟﻣﻔﻌﻭﻝ‬ Examples: ‘He is a pleased customer”. ‫ﺍﻧﻪ ﺯﺑﻭﻥ ﻣﺳﺭﻭﺭ‬ "The child is loved” ‫" ﺍﻟﻁﻔﻝ ﻣﺣﺑﻭﺏ‬He is a loved child” ‫ ﺍﻧﻪ ﻁﻔﻝ ﻣﺣﺑﻭﺏ‬.

However the present participle is translated as an adjective.

"Math is fascinating" ‫ﺍﻟﺭﻳﺎﺿﻳﺎﺕ ﻣﺫﻫﻠﺔ‬

Translate the following: A Career decisions may be confusing; however, they should not be about what

you love most. Career decisions are about the kind of life you want to set up for yourself.

...................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................... ......................................................................................................................

B Here is an interesting piece of advice: “Do not do what you love; do what you

are”. You will be surprised at what you can achieve if you choose a job based on your strengths.

C In the western world, people often change their careers even if these careers

are planned well. Career research tells that today most adults make four or five career changes during their working lifetime. Most of these changes happen because of the rapid changes in the job market and the changing life styles. They are also related to the changes in the person’s interests and opportunities.

Page 112

I was seventeen, and my motives were simple: to improve my final Health Assistant grade. To accomplish my goal, I volunteered at the nearby nursing home.

For weeks, I complained to my friend, " I can’t believe I’m stuck with looking after old people for free." She agreed. The bright yellow uniforms we had to wear made matters even worse. On our first day at the center, the nurses nicknamed us the " yellow birds".

One long month passed before I first met Lily Sturgeon, an eighty -seven-yearold resident who would change my life. We talked for few minutes. There was something about Lily that I liked immediately.

One rainy afternoon she smiled and said, "Come here, Karen. Sit down. I have something to show you." She lifted a small photo album and began to turn the pages.

"She pointed to a pretty little girl sitting on top of a fence. " That was my darling Emmy when she was eight years old.she died from cancer," Lily said sadly.. "I’m so sorry," I said, . She smiled slightly and showed me a faded picture of middle-aged Lily standing next to a clown. "That’s my Albert," she laughed, "After Emmy died, Albert decided to become ‘Smiley the Clown". to help the children at the hospital." The children loved it!

Every weekend we’d volunteer at the hospitals to bring smiles and gifts to the children."

"But you said you were poor, "I reminded her. "Well, smiles are free, and the gifts were not anything fancy. After Albert died, I dressed as Smiley myself… that is, until my first heart attack, about ten years ago. Smiley was then forced into retirement." When I left Lily’s room that day, I couldn’t think of anything but how generous she and Albert had been to children who were not their own. Her words were "Good things should be done without thoughts of self".

Graduation day neared and on my last day, I hurried to Lily’s room. She asked in a concerned voice, "What is it, dear?" "I’ll be back in two weeks," I responded, explaining about high-school graduation. "And then I’ll visit you every day. I promise."She sighed and squeezed my fingers. "I can’t wait for you to tell me all about it."

Two weeks later, I rushed back to Lily’s room with a bouquet of lilies in my hands. As I stepped in, the clean, neat, unoccupied room said everything; I threw the flowers on the bed and wept. A nurse came in and gently touched my shoulder. "Were you one of the yellow birds?" she asked. "Is your name Karen?"I nodded, and she handed me a giftwrapped box. "Lily wanted you to have this. It was her photo album. Clutching it tightly to my chest, I quickly left.

Three weeks later, my horrified brother stood before me. "You can’t be serious!" he said, pacing back and forth. "You look ridiculous! "As I tried to look at myself in the mirror, he blocked my reflection. "You can’t be serious!" he repeated. "How in the world did you pay for that thing anyway?" "With my graduation money," I answered. "What?" he exclaimed, shaking his head. "You have cancelled your trip to New York?" "Yep," I said. "Life is more about giving than receiving."

Lesson

Dreaming about one’s future brings happiness to life. Read the first part of "No More Car Wash" then, apply the steps of skilful decision to help Sammy and Ethan make a decision.

Page 118

“Ethan, I don’t know how much longer I can do this. My feet really hurt.”

“Yeah, so do mine, Sammy. Maybe we should just live at the zoo like Uncle Carl. He gets fed well and just relaxes all day,” said Ethan. “When I said I don’t know how much longer I can do this, I meant this job.I didn’t mean give up on our dream of being independent elephants.” “Relax. I haven’t lost sight of that dream either, Sammy. Look, I appreciated Mr. Dilley giving us a job at his carwash, but using my trunk as a water hose isn’t how I want to spend my days.” “You think I do? I have one dream in life, just one.” “I know, I know, I’ve heard this story a thousand times; you want to be a chef more than anything else on Earth,” said Ethan. “That’s right, a chef,” said Sammy.

“But that’s never going to happen, because nobody wants to eat food cooked by an elephant.” “Don’t give up, Sammy. Somebody will give you a job eventually.” said Ethan. “Thanks Ethan. I’m just tired of waiting for someone else to give me a chance, so first thing tomorrow morning I am going to the bank for a loan. We’ll just open up our own place. And every customer that walks through the door will be treated with respect. “Can I be the one who greets customers at the door with a song?” asked Ethan. “I’ve always dreamed of being a singer.” “Absolutely,” said Sammy. “I’ll make the stew and you can sing your heart out to all the customers.” Ethan and Sammy finished washing the cars smiling the whole time. Even with sore feet it was easy for them to smile now, because they knew their dreams were going to come true. Next morning Sammy went to the bank but when he tried to use the peanuts which Mr. Dilley had been paying them, he was informed he would have to shell out something else: money. Sammy was heartbroken. He and Ethan didn’t have one nickel between them, and the cost of starting up a restaurant was more than Sammy ever imagined.

“It’s all right, Sammy, we can still go live at the zoo like uncle Carl.” said Ethan as he saw the sad look on Sammy’a face. Sammy didn’t know what to do.

Next morning, Mr. Dilley agreed to start paying Ethan and Sammy with money, and not just peanuts. Ethan and Sammy saved every penny they made. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months but Sammy and Ethan’s spirits were high. One day, something unexpected happened. Something wonderful! While hosing down a car one afternoon, Ethan and Sammy were surprised to see a big orange truck in the parking lot. It was playing music and selling ice cream.

“What? You’ve got to be kidding me. That man is selling ice-cream to people from his truck,” said Sammy. “What a brilliant idea. Don’t wait for your customers to come to you, go out and find them!”

“And he is playing music for them too,” said Ethan. “Are you thinking What I’m thinking, Sammy?” “Yeah, how does he keep the ice-cream from melting?”

“No, that’s not what I was thinking,” said Ethan shaking his head. “I am sure there’s a freezer on the truck, Sammy. I’m talking about us. A truck should be a lot less expensive than a restaurant. Why don’t we start our own business by renting a truck, and just go out and find our customers like the man with the ice-cream?”

Sammy didn’t say a word, but smiled from ear to floppy ear. He knew right then and there that his life was going to change. And it did! After a pay raise and a couple more months of working at the car wash, Ethan and Sammy bought their tuck and started their business . They had the words “Stew and Tunes,” written on the side of their truck. It took awhile to catch on, but eventually the whole town of Belvar fell in love with Sammy’s peanut butter stew. And everyone in Belvar knew the truck was close by when they heard Ethan’s singing.
