“Woman Loses Seagull Compensation Case”
In this activity, we are dealing with a text about compensation culture. First, read
the introduction on page 144 (text after activity 2). This is a newspaper
editorial. Then, read the news report and the “list of shame” on page 145 and
answer the questions in activity 7.
LISTENING:
“Scars: how our wounds make us who we are”
Scars are not just skin deep - emotional and
psychological histories lie beneath the healed wounds. In this documentary, we
meet 5 different people for whom their scars changed forever how they see the
world, and how the world sees them. Their scars are the result of war, self
harm, birth defect, cancer and domestic violence which are a collection of
stories both extraordinary and every day. These scars bear witness to our lived
experience of love, loss, strength and overcoming the odds.
These people are Simon, Helen, Cordelia, Christina and
Pete.
Watch the video up to 11’43’’ (without subtitles) and
answer these comprehension questions. If after the first time you watch it you
can’t answer them correctly, watch it again with subtitles.
1. What was the origin of Simon’s wounds?
2. Why did they lift the skin up on the right side of
Helen’s head?
3. How have scars shape Pete’s personality?
4. What was the problem for Cordelia and when did they
realize it was serious?
5. Why did Helen decide not to cover up her scars?
6. What does Christina’s tattoo mean for her?
7. How could Simon overcome self-isolation when he
recovered after his traumatic experience?
8. What did Cordelia realize when she was working in the
laboratory?
That’s all for now.
