Equity and equality are not the same thing. Equality focuses on creating the same starting line for everyone. Equity
has the goal of providing everyone with the full range of opportunities and benefits , in other words, the same finish
line. Let’s focus on the importance of equality. Equality is vital in any society or the world at large. We all have equal
rights and are equal before the law. These are important principles of any democratic society.
With your teacher and classmates, discuss the importance of having equal rights and that we all are subject to the same

Chiang Mai, in the north of Thailand, on January 29th, 2016. Phi Suea is the first housing complex to be solar-hydrogen
self- sufficient. In simple terms, the energy of the sun is transformed via solar panels into electricity. Any excess power
will be converted and stored as hydrogen. When the sun is not shining, they will use the stored hydrogen gas from tanks
to generate electricity by using fuel cells. These family homes include a permaculture garden and large double-glazed

According to C.S. Lewis, “Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.” The Cambridge dictionary says
that integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change. Integrity is
the core quality of a successful and happy life. If you are known for keeping promises and commitments and doing the
right thing in every area of your life, you will develop a reputation as an authentically good, trustworthy person. You may
not be liked at times, but you will be respected. In many situations, that is actually preferable.

• What does the word “integrity” mean to you?

• What is your common reaction when you find out people are not being honest or doing something wrong?

#SocialConscience
According to the Oxford Dictionary responsibility is defined as “the state or fact of being accountable or to blame for
something”. In order to create a happy, healthy, and successful life, you need to take responsibility.
You need to take responsibility for each and every decision that you make in your life. The things you choose to do and
are proud of, as well as the things you choose not to do or are not so proud of. Making excuses instead of taking the
responsibility for your actions, your thoughts, and your goals is a characteristic of people who fail to succeed both in
their professional and personal lives.
With your teacher and classmates discuss the importance of taking responsibility for your actions and decisions.

Listen and Repeat
Speak English is an app you can use to
improve your pronunciation through
listening to English speakers talking about
a span of topics – like job interviews or
customer service.
After listening to it as many times as
you’d like, you then record yourself
repeating the phrase. Finally, you get to
audibly compare your voice to that of the
recording. Try it!
