Writing Global Citizenship: Culture, Society and Shared Duties

Idée directrice

Global Issues writing joins environment with wider society: rich and poor countries, cultural exchange, and controversial world problems (pollution, war, unfair development). Students must address a clear reader, propose measures, and keep English formal enough for a magazine or letter.

Sujet principal

Writing: an open letter on a global issue

1 questionCorrigé masqué

Writing — one paragraph (12–15 lines).

Situation: Your school takes part in a United Nations youth week on global citizenship.

Task: Write a short open letter to world leaders (or to the UN youth page). Choose one main issue: climate and the environment, or unequal chances between rich and poor societies, or respect between cultures in a connected world. In your paragraph: (1) state why the issue matters for young people, (2) give two concrete measures (laws, education, aid, clean energy, cultural exchange programmes…), (3) end with a clear call to act. Use formal tone and at least three linkers (Firstly, Furthermore, However, In conclusion…).

Model paragraph (climate focus)

Dear world leaders, young people inherit a planet under climate pressure, and we refuse to treat the environment as a secondary file. Firstly, global warming already threatens harvests, coastal towns and public health in both rich and poor societies. Furthermore, education campaigns and clean energy investments can cut pollution while creating jobs that keep talent at home. However, promises without laws change nothing: governments must enforce limits on the most damaging emissions and support communities that cannot pay for green technology alone. In conclusion, if culture teaches respect for the Earth and society funds real measures, the next generation may still know a liveable world. Act with us — not only for headlines, but for the climate record our children will read.

What the examiner rewards
- One clear issue + youth stake + two measures + call.
- Global Issues lexicon: global, climate, environment, society, culture, world.
- Formal open-letter tone; ordered linkers.
Trap: A private hotel complaint or a pure ICT netiquette lesson without global stakes misses the unit.

Answers: 1. Cultural · 2. environmental · 3. Climate / Global (prefer Climate warming / if Global then “Global warming”) · 4. society · 5. pollute · (coordinate: if (3) is Climate, extra may be global if unused — better key below)

Preferred key: 1. Cultural · 2. environmental · 3. Global (Global warming) · 4. society · 5. pollute · (extra: climate) — also accept 3. Climate with extra global if the learner writes Climate warming less idiomatically.

How to work: Cultural exchange is a fixed pair. Environmental law modifies law. Global warming is the standard collocation. Civil society / society needs rules. Blank 5 needs the verb pollute.

Reading: cultures meet in a connected world

3 questionsCorrigé masqué

Reading.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” Many teachers quote this line when they talk about culture and global understanding. Meeting other societies — through student exchanges, online projects, or community events — can reduce stereotypes and show that food, music and family habits differ without being inferior. Yet contact alone is not enough. Without respect, a global network spreads insults as quickly as friendship.

A healthy culture of dialogue therefore needs both curiosity and rules: listen before judging, protect minorities in local society, and remember that the environment we share is also part of our common heritage. Global issues are not only ice and carbon; they are also about how people treat one another on one planet.

Questions

  1. True or false? The passage says travel or contact automatically creates respect. Justify.
  2. What three positive results of meeting other societies are suggested in paragraph 1?
  3. How does the last sentence widen “global issues” beyond climate alone?

1. F — contact alone is not enough; without respect, networks spread insults.
2. Reduce stereotypes; show that differences need not mean inferiority; (open) understanding of culture (food/music/family habits) — any clear two or three from the paragraph.
3. It includes how people treat one another / social and cultural relations on one planet, not only ice and carbon.

Method: Quotation questions love the proverb and the “not enough” sentence — use them.

Méthode / Automatismes

Pick one issue and stay with it. Two measures should be concrete (a law, a school programme, a funding idea), not only “people should be nice to nature”.

Pièges classiques

Mixing three huge topics in one short paragraph produces slogans. Depth on one global issue scores higher.
