Reading

2 Following the Reading Strategies, answer these questions before reading the article.

1. How did the Red Crescent get its name?

2. Why is the Red Crescent important to the International Federation?

3. What does the Red Crescent do to help people?

Answers Students’ own answers

 

3 Now, read the article and check your answers.

Answers

1. The symbol of the red cross, which was used by all countries to protect medics during battle, reminded the Ottoman Empire of previous wars. So, they changed it to the Red Crescent.

2. It is important because the Red Crescent societies have developed guidelines that include non-Western traditions.

3. The Red Crescent responds to disasters such as earthquakes or fires. It also provides aid to developing countries. The Red Crescent volunteers work to prevent suffering for everyone.

 

The Red Crescent

In 1877, the Ottoman Empire went to war with Russia. The medics who took care of the wounded soldiers on the Russian side marked their ambulances with a red cross. This was the symbol used by all countries to protect medics during battles. However, the cross reminded the Ottoman Empire of previous wars against soldiers carrying a similar flag. So the Ottoman officials used a red crescent to mark their ambulances instead. Some time later, other Muslim countries accepted this symbol, and it was formally adopted in 1929. So far, 33 Islamic countries have recognised the Red Crescent.

 

The Red Crescent Society is part of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. This is a huge organisation that has 97 million members, volunteers and supporters in 187 National Societies. Red Crescent societies are important to the International Federation, as they have developed guidelines that include non-Western traditions.

 

Today, the Red Crescent is very important in responding to disasters such as earthquakes or fires, as well as providing aid to developing countries. A key principle of the organisation when providing this aid is neutrality. Red Crescent volunteers work to prevent suffering for everyone – regardless of nationality, race, religion or gender.

LISTENING

6 Listen to this doctor talking about first aid. Identify his attitude, then complete the following table in your notebook.

 

 

Audioscript

First aid

Usually, when you wake up for work or school you will go through your day normally. However, there are some situations when a basic knowledge of first aid could be very helpful or even save a life! For example, what do you do when someone starts suffering from heat exhaustion?

If someone doesn’t drink enough water in hot weather, they may get heat exhaustion. The symptoms include nausea, weakness and a headache, but if you don’t treat it, it becomes heat stroke. This is more dangerous and can be life-threatening. Help someone with heat exhaustion by giving them plenty of water and putting them in the shade.

Do a first-aid course and learn more about how to help save lives!

 

Answers

The attitude of the speaker is to encourage people to take a first-aid course to help save lives.

Problem(s): heat exhaustion

Cause(s): hot weather; not enough water

Effect(s): nausea; weakness; headache; heat stroke

Solution(s): give plenty of water; put in shade

 

 

7 Read the Speaking Strategies. Then, think of a project to help the people in need in your city. It can be a poor neighbourhood, children in hospital or children in orphanages, for example. What do they need? What can you and your classmates do to help them? How can you convince your classmates to help them?

 

Speaking Strategies: Arguing persuasively

● Make your arguments simple and clear.

● If you can, give facts and examples.

● Think of relevant reasons to back up your arguments. Use expressions like ‘because’ and ‘the reason why’.

● Be practical. What can you and your classmates do to help? If your ideas are too complicated, people won’t feel able to help.

Audioscript

Noura: I’m bored. I want to do something useful.

Samar: What’s wrong Noura? Noura: Don’t you think we are living very easy lives? There are so many people who are suffering! Why don’t we do something about it?

Samar: OK, but what do you propose?

Noura: I don’t know. Some old people’s homes are asking for books. We could ask our friends for books they have read and take them to the homes.

Samar: You’ve got a point there! My grandma’s friend is in a home and she complains that they have seen all their DVDs and read their books more than three times. It would be nice if we could get them new ones, right?

Noura: Absolutely! We can begin by phoning our friends and asking them if they have old DVDs and books that they no longer want. Samar: That’s true! And we could also start a campaign at school.

Noura: You’re right! I wonder why I didn’t think of it. Let’s make a poster…

Samar: I suppose we can, but don’t you think we have to ask the headmaster first?

My favourite possessions are also the cheapest. They cost very little. They are my photo albums. I make them myself from old notebooks that still have lots of blank pages in them. I decorate the covers and paste my favourite photos in the notebooks. Under each photo, I write something – about the day or people in the photo. I have photos of my mum, my dad, my brother and my friends. I love looking at the photos in my albums every now and then – they are like diaries. The trouble is I’ve got so many albums now that I haven’t got much more space left on my shelves.
