Unless women are given the __________, they will never be able to show that they can _______ ___________ successfully.

career

business

Speaking
Do you agree with the speaker? Why?
Sample dialogue
A: I don’t agree with the speaker. I think girls
have as much chance to have a good career
as boys do.
B: That may be so in the cities, but what about
the countryside? I don’t think it’s so easy
for girls to get a good education then. My
cousin comes from the western part of
China, and she’s often told me about the
problems her classmates have. As soon as
there’s a family crisis, they want their girls
to come home and help sort it out!
A: Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration? My
friend comes from the countryside and her
family are so proud of her. They encourage
her to go to university and find a good
career.
B: Well, anyway, it’s harder for women to do
well there than men. And look at the big
companies. They’re all run by men.
A: Maybe you’re right.

Listening Task (Page 44)
Each year large numbers of civilians are killed and injured?by “explosive remnants of war”. These are the unexploded weapons such as artillery shells, mortars, grenades, landmines and rockets, left behind after an armed conflict.
The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) is a global network in over 70 countries that works for a world free of antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions.
The organization and its chief spokesperson, Jody Williams, jointly received the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts.
Jody Williams (born 1950), an American teacher and aid worker
Listen to Part 1 carefully and take notes. Then fill in the chart.
People were killed by landmines.
To stop the making or use of landmines.
To help remove landmines more quickly
Research notes on ICBL
Who is ICBL’s leader? Jody Williams
Why did Jody start the work?
What is ICBL’s aim?
Why do ICBL countries talk to each other?
Listen to Part 2 carefully and fill in the missing information.

181
81
laws
received
honour
Peace
the same year
Listen to the whole dialogue and write down at least two ways ICBL tries to remove landmines forever.
1. ICBL speaks to governments all round the world and tries to stop them making or using landmines.
2. They got the 181 countries to sign an agreement ( the Oslo Agreement) that they would not make or use landmines in the future.
3. They convinced 81 countries to include in their national laws that they would never make or use landmines in the future.
What do you think Jody Williams’s
work?
What problems do you think she has?
Discussion
A: I really admire Jody Williams. What a
useful job she’s done!
B: And very successful too!
A: Why do you think she did so well?
B: I think it was because she worked with
local organizations in each country. She
made sure that those countries which were
most successful at removing landmines
told other countries how to do it more
efficiently. That gave everyone confidence.
Sample dialogue
A: An excellent strategy. That’s why she got the Oslo Agreement and a Nobel Peace Prize in 1997.
B: But I’m sure her work was not easy.
A: Why do you say that?
B: She has to talk to so many countries and governments. There must be so many cultural differences to overcome.
A: Using local people must have helped. I think it must have been harder to convince some countries not to use landmines – they’ve found them useful in fighting their wars.
B: Yes, and they provide work for workers
in the factories that make landmines.
Some people never think of the effect on
others.
A: Do you think that might stop its complete
success?
B: I’m afraid it might, but I hope not.
