[HS] Lesson 2
A Hero in a War
The Nazis invaded Poland in 1933 and took over the country. All Jewish people were forced to live in a certain area of the city known as ghettos. They were forbidden to leave ghettos, and anyone who tried to escape was killed. They suffered from hunger and got infected by different diseases. Because of that, social workers were assigned to monitor the situation. However, they were not allowed to help the Jewish people.
Irena Sendler, one of the social workers, helped the Jewish children escape. She knew the risk but could not bear seeing them suffering. She and other social workers decided to take the children out of the ghettos secretly. Some of the children were hidden in a box or bag. Others were put under a pile of clothes and vegetables. Irena was able to save 2,500 children. They were adopted by Polish families and were given false identities. However, a few years later, Senler got caught and was asked questions about the Jewish children. She kept her mouth shut despite all the sufferings she went through. In the end, she was able to escape with the help of her friends. After all the good things she did, she never considered herself a hero.

Beginner Business Conversation: Team Conflicts

Few days after the team meeting, Mr. Evans wants to talk to Mr. Newton.
There you are, Mr. Newton. If you don’t mind, I would like to speak with you. |
Of course, sir. What would you like us to talk about? |
The team and I noticed the quality of your work is becoming a problem. We have to delay the production process whenever your research is incomplete since it is based on the findings of your research. |
I’m very sorry for my actions. There are just some tasks that are still difficult to do aside from doing my research. I know it’s easier said than done but don’t worry. I will do my research better next time to avoid giving bad work quality. |
That’s understandable. By the way, Mr. Wilson has been doing some parts of your research already to avoid more delays. As much as possible, we want to avoid conflicts such as handling double tasks and delaying in medicine production and selling. |
Okay, sir. Next time, I will ask for help if I have trouble doing other tasks. This won’t happen again. Thank you for telling me, Mr. Evans. |

[HS] If your son was blind, what could you do as a mother or a father?
Blind People
Having a blind person inside the family might not be easy. It takes a lot of patience and courage to be able to deal with them. Some of them do not want to receive special treatment but they still need guidance from sighted people. Since they cannot use their sense of sight, they focus more on using their other senses. According to a study, blind people are better in using the other senses than sighted people.
One of the things that someone can do for a blind person is to give them what they need. Going to school and studying is also a right for them. They can still study even without being able to see. There is a special language that blind people use to read. Braille is a written language made up of raised dots that represent letters and numbers. Blind people study by reading using braille or listening to lectures on their computers or mobile phones.
People should also support them in doing what they love. They do not want others to feel sorry for them and think that they are suffering from their condition. Like others, they want to share their talents and abilities. They also want to be able to express themselves by doing what they love. Having people to support them gives them more courage to do so.
