It is a fallacy to suppose that all men are equal and that society will be levelled out if you provide every body with the same educational opportunities. (It is debatable whether you can ever provide everyone with the same educational opportunities, but that is another question.) The fact is that nature dispenses brains and ability with a total disregard for the principle of equality. The old rules of the jungle, ‘survival of the fittest’, and ‘might is right’ are still with us. The spread of education has destroyed the old class system and created a new one. Rewards are based on merit. For ‘aristocracy’ read ‘meritocracy’; in other respects, society remains unaltered: the class system is rigidly maintained.
1. Find and write out an example of condition relationship. Underline the marker of condition.

Being so traditionally-minded, the British are less fashion-conscious than other Europeans. The majority dress conservatively rather than fashionably. For example, the upper and upper middle classes tend to dress ‘safely’ in the well tried styles of the past fifty years or so. During the 1980s this style appealed to a wider clientele which, inspired by the romance of the upper classes, particularly by the Royal Wedding (Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer) in 1981, began to imitate them. For all its simplicity, this old-fashioned style of the upper and upper middle class is distinctively exclusive.
1. Write out an example of comparison / contrast relationship and underline the marker of comparison / contrast.
2. Note-taking. Characterize the way the British upper and upper middle classes dress.
3. Which of the words is synonymic to the word “for” in the sentence:
For all its simplicity, this old-fashioned style of upper and upper middle class is distinctively exclusive.
Words: because, although, despite, however, due.

Which of these two approaches do you agree with? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion. Poverty is no sin. The more you have, the more you want.

This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of sombre political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbours attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we are meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is no wonder that in totalitarian regimes any satire against the Establishment is wholly banned. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish.
1. Identify the controlling idea.
2. Is the following an example of argumentation? Carry out the for /so test.
Political fanatics lock humour. If they could see the funny side, they would never make the mistake of taking themselves too seriously.
3. Find and correct the false statement.
a. There is much grimness in the world.
b. The problem of politicians is that they have lost their sense of time.
c. Satire against Establishment is banned if totalitarian regimes.

Old people are always saying that the young are not what were. The same comment is make from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.
