First of all, the syllbus
Writing 1. Describe, report, and give
personal information.
Carry out longer writing
tasks on a wider range of
topics.
• Writing letters to people in
different situations (some
formal, some informal).
• Writing down your feelings
and opinions, e.g. diary
entries, and recording your
experiences in other ways,
e.g. postcards.
• Writing descriptions of
events, places, people, etc.
2. Use language for a specific
purpose, e.g. to persuade, to
consider others’ views, to write
a commentary
• Taking part in debates and
writing up the conclusions
in a report
• Writing letters or articles of a
very specific nature, e.g. to
persuade your local council
to not build a new road; to
argue that smoking should be banned.

I’m sorry I haven’t written for ages, but I’ve been busy studying and haven’t had the time.
HOWEVER if it is in response
It was lovely to hear from you last week\ a few minutes ago\yesterday
Transition: Any way, I thought to drop you a line about .. I thought you would like to know ……….
Signature would be love from or hugs and kisses or
yours.
In narration we could start I cant wait to tell you about \ you will never guess what happened to me and then use time phrases as ( this week- a few minutes ago)
State who and what and where and when and why things you were doing.
E.g. I was walking home with Ahmed on Tuesday, we were chatting about. When suddenly\out of the blue …………
Time phrases must be used in narrative as, while I was doing. By this time The minute I within no time.. After what seemed like ages.

Heba
Consideration to others :-
Popular opinion states that that the collapse of the financial system was caused by uncurbed greed and opportunism in the economy’s “higher layers.” There is a popular notion of greedy, lustful billionaires who could never get enough, and who played irresponsible games to win more, while people’s well-being was at stake.
Many people support President Obama’s measures to even out the financial system, and support his and Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s talk of the need for consideration for others, greater compassion, and a kinder attitude between people.
The Average Joe Scenario

It is easy, and thus common, for the average Joe to point the finger at the ones in the high positions, and say that they are the ones in need of a new attitude: an attitude of consideration for others in terms of “How can I help these people?” instead of “How can I profit from these people?”

The average Joe thinks that his consideration of his family, friends and neighbors, makes him generally a good person, and that those in higher positions are the ones responsible for much of his misfortunes, such as losing his job, or having to pay more money for goods and services.
What this same average Joe fails to see is that the same billionaire he’s pointing his finger at, in many cases, also has consideration for his family, friends and neighbors, and is generally “a good person” by the same standards. It’s just that in his professional life, he is cutthroat competitive, while the average Joe isn’t.
Essentially, Kabbalah states the problem with this scenario is that both the average Joe and the ones in higher positions, have the same small “field of consideration” – one localized to benefiting only oneself and one’s close ones, and both are operating according to the same internal calculation stemming from a desire to profit from others.

Extending the Field of Consideration – From Personal to Global
Kabbalah states that this “being nice to others” in human society stems from a need to be secure and comfortable, and embedded into that same calculation is one that makes it okay to exploit and succeed over those who aren’t close. Moreover, it states that it is this attitude, of differentiating between “close ones that one should be nice to” and “distant ones that it is okay to profit from” is where the change needs to be made, and it’s no different for the ones in high positions than it is for the average Joe.
Globalization is the condition of today’s present era, and Kabbalah states that it requires everyone to extend their field of consideration to encompass humanity as a whole. In other words, the only way people can prosper and live secure, comfortable lives is by relating to all people as if they belong to one global family, of which everyone is a member.
Kabbalah states that by promoting the idea of global family, about how profitable it is to care for others, people will be influenced and will start acting accordingly. If examples of true consideration for others are promoted through all the popular media channels, people will begin to think and act according to these examples, even though they initially might not want to.
According to Kabbalah, this is how a needed change of attitude in this day and age should be implemented. By doing so, Kabbalah states that all economic and social systems will begin operating smoothly, for everyone’s benefit, because its operators (i.e. all people, not just those in high positions) will be in tune with this world’s new conditions.
