A. READING
Before you read
Pair work: Look at the picture in the text book (P. 74) and answer three questions.
What can you see in the picture?
Do think that the people in this picture lead a rich or a poor life?
What, in your opinion, should be done to improve the situation?
The picture shows us people’s life is very simple. The living standard is very low. People live in the cottages/huts. And there isn’t any modern means of transport.
The people in this picture lead a very simple and poor life.
In my opinion, people should carry out economic reforms. They should change their old and backward way of living and working. They also change their way of thinking. In a word, people should restructure their economy.
