Text:

A species of animal becomes extinct when every animal of its kind has died. Why animals become extinct is not always clear. Many scientists believe that a balance exists in nature, so that the establishment of a new species results in the loss or extinction of an existing species.
Most extinct animals died out because of changes in their food source, or the destruction of their habitat. Human beings have caused many animals to become extinct. Such activities as farming, hunting, and logging, or mere settlement by humans, contribute to extinctions. Today, the growth of urban areas and the pollution of the environment with pesticides and industrial wastes pose serious threats to many species.
During the last 200 years, more than 50 species of birds, over 75 species of mammals, and perhaps hundreds of other species have become extinct.

In the future, robots will perform more and more tasks for humans. This will have both positive and negative effects. On the one hand, while robots are doing the boring and dangerous jobs, human will devote more time to interesting pursuits. In this respect, robots will make life a lot easier for humans. On the other hand, the widespread use of robots will create a lot of future unemployment. There is a risk that robots will take on jobs that humans need in order to earn a living. And some robots could even become dangerous. I’m afraid that in the not-too-distant future robots will operate nuclear power stations! And before too long, robot will fight in wars. Although, on second thoughts, that will be better than humans killing each other.

I’m going to retire next week and I’m looking forward to it. For the first time in my life, I shall be able to do all the things I’ve always wanted to do. When I wake up in the morning, I won’t have to travel to work anymore. So as soon as I finish taking my bath, I’ll go to the living room. I shall listen to music while I wait for my breakfast to be served. You know, if my firm pays a good pension into my bank account, I will hire a cook.

Thank you for asking me about what I’ll do after taking the Brevet exam. Well, if I succeed, I’ll go to secondary school. I’ll opt for the foreign Languages stream. If I pass my Baccalaureate, I’ll go to university. I’ll train to become a translator. If I get my diploma, I’ll travel all around the world to see other people and make friends.
However, I know that life is full of surprises. So if I fail, I’ll go to a vocational school. I’ll train to be a computer technician. If I manage to get my diploma, I’ll open a cybercafé an work on my own. Of course if I make a lot of money, I’ll build a house. I’ll get married and start a family.

Dear Dr Hakima,
I’m writing to seek your kind advice. I’m a four –year Middle School student. I took my Brevet last June and had a pass with merit. The problem is that I’m facing a dilemma as to the choice of the stream in which I’ll register in the lycée. My parents want me to register in the scientific stream whereas my choice goes for the literary stream.
Indeed, if I decided to register in the stream of my choice, I would realise the dream of my life which consists of becoming a translator. I would work very hard to get a literary stream Baccalaureate, which would allow me to register at a department of translation at university.
However, if I followed my choice, my parents would be really disappointed. They want me to become a doctor.
In conclusion, I’m at a crossroads in my educational career. I don’t know whether I must listen to my parents or decide about what I must do with my school life on my own. What should I do?
Yours sincerely,
Ahlem.

A Frightening Experience.
Many years ago while I was living in India, I was invited at a reception at the embassy. When I arrived, some of the guests were sitting and smoking while others were chatting and drinking. A few couples were dancing while a group of musicians were playing waltzes.
My friend came to me and introduced me to some guests. Then it was time to have dinner. We were sitting round the table eating and listening to an old colonel talking about his army experiences when a woman suddenly shouted: “A snake! There ‘s a snake near the window!” there was a great panic in the room. Some guests climbed onto the table screaming; two women fainted.
While some of us were looking for the snake everywhere, the old colonel rushed to the veranda. A few seconds later, we heard two shots. We were wondering about what was happening when he entered the room, dragging a dead cobra.
