Text: Village life
My village is Tanta. It is so far from the town. The population is about two hundred
inhabitants. It is a quiet and attractive place near the river. The inhabitants always use this
water for cooking. We never get tap Water.
In my village, there are farmers, fishermen, hunters and traditional doctors, but there
are also teachers for the primary school. We can sometimes see some students who are going
to school without shoes. During the rainy season, farmers grow cassava, maize, groundnuts,
beans and tomatoes. Fishermen catch fishes with their fishing nets. They sell their products in
the small market. Hunters hunt animals with guns, spears, bows and arrows in the forest. My
mother often cooks dinner with meat. We usually eat in family natural foods and often listen
to grandmother’s stories at the village place. At night we sleep early because there is no
electricity.

Text :
A long time ago, Africans communicated with the traditional means of
communication. Town criers passed the message from a king or a chief to their people.
Means of communication have greatly developed. So, people use modern means of
communication today. Among these means, we can cite the letter, the telegram, the cell
phone, the radio, the television, the computer, the internet, etc…
The cell phone is so common nowadays. It is a good invention that helps society gain time
and solve problems at distance. Millions of businessmen use cellular phones every day. What
a useful tool it is! But, like any technological invention, it has its disadvantages: people use
it to tell lies to their friends; it makes drivers cause accidents; radiation increases risks of
cancer; there is finally the question of theft.
Computers linked one to the others are called Internet. A lot of people use Internet
because of its advantages: schools, universities, banks, lawyers, research laboratories,
politicians… use it to communicate and collaborate. Beside these advantages of the Internet,
it also has its negative aspects. There are for example, cyber frauds, cyber terrorism, cyber
criminalities.
Slightly adapted from student’s book 4ème

Vocabulary: to tell lies : dire des mensonges; theft : vol;

Text: Role of foods
1- Humans are classified as omnivores, partaking both classes of food i.e. meat and
vegetables. Having the right diet is important for humans especially a diet that provides the
6 essential food groups comprising carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oil, vitamins, minerals,
and water.
2- We need protein to build our body and to make new cells in order to repair worn-
out tissues. Protein comes from meat, fish, eggs, beans, peas, milk, yoghurt, etc. The body
needs energy to work and play. We get most of our energy from carbohydrates which come
from starch food, rice, potato, maize.... The rest of our energy comes from fats and oils. Fats
and oils keep our body warm and supply essential fatty acids which help to keep the skin
smooth.
3- Many people can be malnourished though they eat a lot of starchy food and meat.
This can happen because they don't eat a lot of vitamins which protect the body against
diseases and minerals which build our bones. Vitamins are found in fruits (orange, lemon,
mango, pawpaw...), in liver and in milk. The good sources of minerals are green and leafy
vegetables, spinach, unpolished rice, milk, bitter leaf, cereal, salt etc.
4-The main nutrient, without which other nutrients can't function correctly is water. Water
helps to digest the food we eat into nutrients and carries the nutrients around our body. It can
be found in drinking water, in beer, coke, fruits and in most foods.

Text: Tree- planting campaign in Ouémè.
1- The development policy of Benin has always paid special attention to the
environment protection and the war against desertification. Since April 1995, the National
Tree-day and the National Tree-planting campaign had been decreed. These two events are
celebrated every year, the first, on the 1st of June and the second, during the rainy season.
2- Many structures are involved in the production of plants and the firewood project,
which recently came to an end, occupies the first position with about 85%. It is followed by
‘’ CARDER OUEME’’ nurseries with 10%, Villages groups with 2%, schools with 1% and
communities with 0,14%.
3- The low result of communities shows that villages tree-planting communities are
not functioning, claimed certain leaders of ‘’CARDER OUEME’’ who deplored the lack of
supervisory and monitoring communities for the annual National Tree-planting Programme.
4- With the impressive number of 300,000 trees per year on the average planted in the
OUEME department during the campaign, it is sad to note that most of the plantations no
longer exist in the area.
5- A lot of plants have disappeared for lack of maintenance. They were appreciated
by most people in the area. Faced with the continued degradation of the environment as a
result of human activities, the opinion of some ‘’CARDER OUEME’’ leaders is that people
should be further integrated into the tree-planting process. This would awaken the
consciousness of the people to the need for a correct execution of the two programmes.

Text : The use of the cell phone in the learning process.

1-One and one half billions people, all over the world are walking around with
powerful computers in their pockets and purses. The fact is that they don’t realize it, because
they call it something else. But today’s students have the cell phones everywhere, this
computing power of the mid-1990s.
2-In the United States of America (USA), it’s pretty much universally acknowledged
that computers are essential for 21st century students, although there is still considerable
debate about how and when to use them. It is time we began thinking of our cell phones as
computers; even more powerful in some ways than their bigger cousins. With dropping
prices and increasing utility, it is almost a foregone conclusion that not too far in the future,
all students will have a cell phone, quite possibly built right into their clothing.
3-Students around the world increasingly carry this miniature “computing
communication device” during the school day, using it almost exclusively for personal
purposes. “When you lose your mobile,” says one student in Japan “you lose part of brain.”
This statement indicates an intuitive understanding of the link between Digital Natives and
technology that has escaped educators.
4-Most American teachers and administrators believe that cell phones have no place
in the educational process. This is not totally surprising since schools have never had an easy
time integrating technology into teaching. Far too often, and certainly today with cell phones,
some educators argue new technologies constitute a “huge distraction” from the education
they are trying to provide. Some imagine dozens of these phones ringing constantly, despite
the fact that the devices have off switches and penalties can be collectively established and
enforced by good teachers. Others observe “cheating” during tests via mobile phones and
think that banning the device rather than educating the students is the appropriate answer.

12
5-Cell phones are not just communication devices sparking new modalities of
interacting between people, they are also particularly useful computers that fit in your
pockets. They are always with you, and are always on. According to the thought leader Marc
Prensky, cell phones like all communication and computing devices can be used to learn. So
rather than fight the trend for kids to come to school carrying their own powerful learning
devices which they have already paid for, why not use the opportunity to our advantage ?
