8A_CRIME AND JUSTICE_INDEPENDENT LEARNING

 INDEPENDENT LEARNING


 Let me provide you with some texts and recordings. I am sure they will help you boost your critical thinking and have your say (have the opportunity to give your opinion about something).

I do hope you find them all useful for your progress.


- Illegal downloading is such a controversial issue.

Do you think that the Internet Service Providers are liable for  the actions of their customers?
Do you think the providers should take "reasonable steps" to make sure their customers aren't breaking the law, even when they don't have the direct power to stop them?
The fundamental problem we've got is Internet piracy is a big issue. Do you agree?
Do you think that people are entitled to (RIGHT/HAVE THE RIGHT TO: to give someone the official right to do or have something) do whatever they like when they go online?

Do you agree with Mr. Turnbull? "... if you want to discourage piracy /ˈpaɪrəsi/, the best thing you can do, and the music industry is a very good example of this, the way they've responded, the best thing you can do is to make your content available globally, universally and affordably.

6A-6B GRAMMAR AND SPEAKING PRACTICE


 I hope you can get the chance to practise using these grammar points with someone else outside the class.

Remember that you might have to play the role of a particular person who leads a different lifestyle from yours.

For instance, you will have to pretend to be living in a foreign country or to do shift work.

Try to come up with a context for each sentence. Use your imagination and creativity as well.

I am certain that this kind of activity will have a positive impact on your progress.

I am sure that you will get the most out of your learning experience.
