Your guide to the student book featuresA detailed contents list helps teachers to clearly navigate their way through the text, and specific features also assist teachers and students to work through material in a manageable and tailored way. Features and activities throughout the text span individual, paired and group work for a variety of approaches to ensure that students have enough practice. • A wide of range of Caribbean and international reading passages are included.
Annotated passages encourage discussion and opinion as students improve their reading and comprehension skills.
• Word power provides a sustained and systematic approach to vocabulary development and arms students with the words and skills to better articulate their thoughts using the English language.
• Language in action is a grammar component that is treated within the context of each reading passage.
You can Achieve! Achieve! is a four-level print and digital English language course designed specifically for the Caribbean learner. Spanning lower secondary and CSEC, Achieve! delivers comprehensive syllabus coverage through its range of components that support students and teachers in the improvement of long-term English language and literacy skills.
What makes Achieve! so great? Each learning unit is theme-based so that students are not just learning language, but exploring interesting areas of human experience too. Within each unit there are sections on all elements in the syllabus: listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as the mechanics of language, grammar and vocabulary. The scheme of work in this book helps to identify many of these. There is also a consistent infusion of literature, language appreciation, media and cross-curricular skills development. These are treated in an integrated way so that work in one section will help with work in the others. For example, a text in the reading section at the start of the unit creates a context for language use in the grammar and speech work sections; it also generates work on vocabulary and creates a springboard or model for writing. Every section emphasises the importance of student activity and encourages independent learning.
While Achieve! offers a comprehensive and systematic treatment of language and skills development, the emphasis on this course is very much on flexibility. Achieve! has been developed so that it can be adapted for a wide variety of students and classes as we recognise that classes all learn at different speeds.

Things to do
Review and self-assessmentIn this unit you
• read a short story and drew inferences Was the story just an exciting story or did it have a signifi cant theme?
• developed your vocabulary, using synonyms and antonyms Did you make a note of new words in your vocabulary notebook?
• listened to the end of a story, and retold it Did you realise that in retelling the story, you were summarising it?
• learned and practised the changes needed in reported speech If you need more practice, go to ACHIEVE! DIY Manual Unit 13
• acted and improvised TV interviews Is your oral production improving? If not, what do you think you need to work on?
• wrote a newspaper report Would you make a good newspaper reporter? Why / why not?
• revised topic sentences and used signal words in a text Did this help in your comprehension of the text?
1 Research
Find out what anti-drug programmes exist locally, and write a short presentation to give to the class.
2 Find out more about Caricom. What does it stand for? What are its aims? Why has it been criticised?
3 Look at the poster, which was published by Trinidad’s National Drug Abuse Control Council (NDACC). Design your own advert to discourage drug-taking.
4 Imagine that a cousin has written this letter to you:
<insert 931881_ph_13.11: Caribbean anti-drug poster;
ideally fi nd a more recent poster or reuse (SiE p. 159)>
I really need your advice – I am in deep trouble. I stupidly started playing around with cannabis, and though it made me feel ill, I have found it hard to stop, though I am trying to. Now a local guy is demanding payment – money I just don’t have. Please help me. Can you give me some advice on what to do!
Write an informal letter advising your cousin what he or she should do.

OBJECTIVES
M15_ACHI_SB3_CAR_1881_U15.indd 262 12/11/2012 11:44
Secret decisions are being made to auction off or give away all of Guyana’s lands to foreign interests. The governments of Guyana and Suriname are considering bids that would put over 80 per cent of the region’s forest under foreign control.
According to the Bretton Woods Reform Organisation, the people of the region are poised to lose, forever, major portions of their land at a token price from multi-national corporations. At the rate at which logging is presently being conducted, the forests will all be gone in eight to ten years.
These lands, if they belong to anyone at all, belong to their people and no individual or government has the right to give away concessions over public territory without the consent of its people. These concessions are granted in an atmosphere of secrecy and the people are given no opportunity to be part of the decision-making process. Basically, it means that the company that has been butchering the forests of Sarawak in East Malaysia and Papua New Guinea have been given an open invitation to rape Guyana’s virgin forest.
The Northwest District of Essequibo alone equals about 10 per cent of Guyana. In addition to the land grant, the company has been granted a � ve-year tax holiday,
minimum royalty payments and the right to export unprocessed timber, tax-free. In return, after � ve years, Guyana gets a measly 20 million dollars annually.
Furthermore, the company gets its labour as cheap as possible, and there are no workers’ rights, health care, insurance, accident coverage, pension schemes, and so on. With the continued devaluation of the Guyanese dollar, the company will make even more money off the forests and backs of Guyanese people because the royalty payments are � xed for the next 20 years. The company in turn sells the timber to Japanese and American companies at a handsome pro� t.
In 1989, 2.4 million hectares of Guyana’s 14 million hectares of loggable forests were being exploited. Today, contracts for more than 9.1 million hectares have been signed and a further 4 million hectares are in the pipeline. The income is ridiculously low, one-twentieth of the US cent per acre.
Environmentalism aside, these are not sound economic or social policies. At best, they are the desperate actions of politicians to generate cash for cash-starved economies. Now, not only are the people of the region being evicted from their homes, and their traditional livelihoods being lost, but the trees, animals and land will be destroyed as well.
There are two articles about the operations of a timber company in Guyana on this page and the next. They give two very different views of the company’s operations. Read the fi rst article carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The Sarawhacking of Guyana

While some other tropical countries were mashing up their forests in the 1970s and 1980s, Guyana was in an economic tailspin, and traditional logging continued very much in its own sweet way. Guyanese-owned companies concentrated on species that were in demand, like greenheart and purple heart, and left the forest canopy largely intact. Natural regeneration could close the gaps. There was no land-hungry peasant population. Waterfalls and rapids on the rivers made access to many parts of the interior commercially impossible. Traditional Guyanese logging practices were not perfect. Few real-world industries are. But it did not produce a ‘red desert’ of bare laterite either. Large-scale tropical forest management has now learned from mistakes which have been made elsewhere, and Guyana is able to bene� t from these lessons. Managers
feel that it should be possible to increase production on a sustainable yield basis, which will maintain the forest resource for long-term use and retain the essential features of the ecosystem. In 1991, the Barama company, which is owned by Malaysian and South Korean interests, was granted a concession covering over four million acres (17,000 km
2) in the North West region.
Logs are transported by barge from Port Kaituma in the North West out to sea, then up the Demerara River to a new plywood plant at Land of Canaan, 15 miles from Georgetown. Plywood is a high value-added product – and it generates more jobs in the processing plant than in the forestry operation itself. The Edinburgh Centre for Tropical Forestry, based in Scotland, has been advising the company on sustained-yield forestry techniques. There is now an approved
Forest Management Plan. An agreed annual cut – about eight trees per hectare – will be taken out under the supervision of the Forestry Commission. Amerindian reservations will be excluded from the concession. No Barama employee is allowed to enter a reservation without the explicit permission of its Amerindian Captain. And the gold producers will not be affected – Barama has no mining rights. The company will also rehabilitate and equip the hospital at Port Kaituma, and recruit a doctor and support staff. The company will also provide an electricity and pumped water supply for the settlement. Barama says it will be employing 300 people in the North West and 1,200 at Land of Canaan when the project is on-stream; at a later stage, there may be up to 5,000 jobs.
Activity 1 Questions
1 Explain what the heading ‘Th e Sarawhacking of Guyana’ mean?2 What does the writer of that article accuse the government of Guyana of doing?3 What are the writer’s three main reasons for objecting to the government’s
actions?4 Explain why the government’s income is likely to diminish over the years the
concession is in operation.5 List the reasons why the company fi nds the contract with Guyana attractive.6 In what ways are the local people suff ering, according to the writer?
Now read the second article below and answer the questions that follow.

Note: Useful expressions for a TV discussionYou may wish to write the following useful expressions on the board for students to use in their group discussions on TV:I’m afraid I disagree with…In my opinion…In my view…I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with…Contrary to what…says, I believe…I’m afraid that opinion is unfounded as there is strong evidence to suggest that…May I interrupt at this point to say…Excuse me, but I don’t think what you’re saying is true…
Speak for yourself
Activity 1
Role-playWorking in groups, students should follow the steps outlined in their books for this activity. It may be helpful if the same characters from di� erent groups got together beforehand to plan their arguments (for example, all the students role-playing the government spokesperson in their respective groups could meet separately and discuss ideas about what to argue; all the students role-playing the Economist could do the same, and so on.) Encourage students to base their arguments on what they have read in the articles. It may also be helpful if the students role-playing the Chairperson in each group got together beforehand too, and decided on e� ective ways of chairing their discussions. For example, they could agree on the following:• Each speaker gets one or two
minutes to present his or her point of view.
• Speakers in favour of the Barama development should alternate with those against it.
• � ere should be a 15 minute time limit on the whole discussion.
• If a particular speaker starts to dominate the discussion, then an e� ort should be made to elicit the point of view of an opposing speaker.
• Once students have prepared themselves for the discussion, they can go ‘on air’ and hold the discussion on TV. If time permits, you may wish to ask each group to hold their discussion in front of the rest of the class or ‘audience’. However, if your class is large and you do not have enough time, then you may have to have group discussions going on simultaneously in di� erent parts of the classroom.
Writing: a letter of protestTalk about the example letter to a newspaper editor with the class � rst, drawing attention to its format, content and style. Point out the following:• � e salutation (‘Dear Editor’).• � e introductory sentence that states the purpose of the letter.• � e main body paragraph that describes the issue and calls for
immediate action by the relevant authorities.• � e concluding paragraph that sheds an alternative light on the issue
and ends with a thought-provoking question.• � e writer’s name and email address (sometimes this can be printed
as a pseudonym, although you have to send your real name to the newspaper).
2 Spend a few minutes thinking about what you would like to say in the role of your character.
Use the information in the articles on pages 273 and 274 to brief yourself on your arguments.
If your character is for or against the new project in the North West of Guyana, be prepared to argue your case strongly, courteously and clearly.
If you are the chairperson, you have the toughest job of all. You must ensure that everyone gets a fair hearing and that the viewers or listeners to the programme obtain a balanced picture of the issues involved. You must also be prepared to decide who should speak if two people start talking at once.
3 Carry out your discussion for the TV programme.
Speak for yourself
Activity 1 Role-play
Do you watch current affairs programmes on TV or radio in which topical issues are discussed? Usually there is a chairperson or link person and several experts or politicians who have differing views about the issue under discussion.
Imagine that there is a TV discussion about Barama’s activities in Guyana.1 Work in groups of about eight. Choose one of the following roles for
each person. (You are also free to choose any other role you can think of, if you wish.)

Pro (in favour of development)Government spokespersonBarama company employeeLocal businessman at Port Kaituma or Land of CanaanAmerindian CaptainLocal logging company employee

Writing: a letter of protestThere are times when ordinary citizens feel almost powerless to infl uence events. One thing you can do is write to your local member of parliament or to a newspaper. Either way, your letter should be set out properly and should include your full address, telephone number and email (even though these are not usually printed in a newspaper). You can see an example below.
Le� ers to the Editor
Dear EditorI feel compelled to write to you about an urgent public health issue.
Recently, I drove along Spanish Town Road in order to get to Six Miles, but I forgot that the fi re at Riverton dump was still burning. Even inside my car, with all the windows and vents closed, I found myself choking; I can’t imagine what it must be like for those living or working in the area. This is not just a smoke nuisance: it is a major public health issue and needs urgent action by the authorities.
In the longer term, it is good news that new contracts have been negotiated by the government to build waste-to-energy plants. Can we hope that the toxic smell of burning garbage will then become a thing of the past?

Activity 1 Writing your own letter
Write a letter to the newspaper or council complaining about a local issue you feel strongly about.
If you like, choose one of the following:1 Th e centre of the city has recently seen a huge infl ux of street vendors who
clutter up the road and represent a traffi c hazard. In addition, they are taking away business from local shopkeepers.
2 A formerly attractive local park has been allowed to deteriorate. Make specifi c points about what is wrong and how it could be improved.
3 Write a letter to your local council pointing out the need for more recreational facilities in your neighbourhood.
4 Write a letter to the newspaper pointing out the need to plant more trees in your area. Th e lack of trees is causing soil erosion, and the area is unattractive.
Don’t forget to address the envelope properly.
