Tuesday ARTICLE

Top soccer video game has female teams

One of the world's best-selling video games has increased its list of options to attract more women players. The game is the latest in EA Sports' incredibly popular FIFA series and is

called FIFA 16. It will be on sale later this month. Game players will be able to choose women's teams for the very first time. The new game has 12 of the top international women's teams. They can only play against other women's teams, so there will be no women against men games. A demo version of the game was made available from September 8th. Game players who tested FIFA 16 said the games with women's teams were played at a faster pace than games with men's teams. The vice president of EA Sports said he was excited about the introduction of women's teams. He said it was one of the most important changes in the 22-year history of the video game. He

said: "Bringing some of the best women's players and teams in the world to our franchise is a massive event for EA Sports, and we are equally excited about bringing millions of fans a new way to play." Alex Morgan, who plays for the U.S. national women’s team, spoke of her excitement at being one of the players in the FIFA 16 game. She said: "It is such an honour for…our team to be included in FIFA 16. I always wondered what it would be like to see our team in the game and it is very cool to know that it is now a reality."

Thursday DEBATE

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION SHOULD BE FREE

Nearly every country in the developed world, and more and more in the developing world, provide free primary and secondary education. Such education is generally uncontroversial and accepted as necessary by both liberals and conservatives around the world. In the case of university education, however, there is a great deal of disparity between countries’ education policies. In many states students must pay fees to attend university, for which they may seek student loans or grants. Often states offer financial assistance to individuals who cannot afford to pay fees and lack other methods of payment. In other states, university education is completely free and considered a citizen’s right to attend. Debates center on the issues of whether there is in fact a right to university education, and on whether states can feasibly afford to finance such education.

Pros: It is a fundamental right of individuals to experience university and to have access to the knowledge it affords. University offers a huge opportunity. It is a treasure trove of knowledge to be gained and experiences to be had. University provides an opportunity that exists at no other time in an individual’s life. It is a time of personal, intellectual, and often spiritual, exploration. In secondary school and in professional life, no such opportunities exist, as they are about instruction and following orders, not about questioning norms and conventions in the same way university so often is[1].

Cons: There is no right to the university experience. University life is a piss-up. Students rarely take their time in university as seriously as some would suggest. Rather, university life is about alcohol first, education second. Such education can provide valuable knowledge, but it is not the responsibility of the taxpayer to fund it. Self-knowledge and genuine wisdom come from study and reflection. This can be done anywhere, not just in a university. There is no fundamental right of individuals to be allowed to take four years free of charge to learn new skills that will benefit them or how to be better citizens. The state’s duty is to provide a baseline of care, which in the case of education secondary school more than provides. If individuals want more they should pay for it themselves. WORD CHECK UP

Friday BUSINESS IDIOM FOCUS

Read and be familiar with the Business Idiom below and use them in

your conversation.

Why study idioms?

One of the keys to speaking like a native is the ability to use and understand

casual expressions, or idioms.

Going under the knife

When critics and celebrity observers criticized Heidi Montag for undergoing

ten plastic surgery procedures in one operation, she answered back that going

under the knife is only a medical operation that doesn't involve any life-

threatening risk.

Smell a Rat

How come the front door is open? Didn't you close it before we went

shopping?

I'm sure I did. I can't understand it. Frankly, I smell a rat.

Me, too. I'm convinced that something is definitely wrong here. We'd

better call the police.

Go to the Dogs

Have you seen their house lately? It's really gone to the dogs.

It's true that it has become run-down and in serious need of repair, but I'm

sure that it can be fixed up to look like new.

I guess with a little carpentry work and some paint it could look pretty

decent.

Fishy

When the security guard saw a light in the store after closing hours, it seemed

to him that there was something fishy going on. He called the central office

and explained to his superior that he thought something strange and

suspicious was occurring.

Take the Bull by the Horns

Julie had always felt that she was missing out on a lot of fun because of her

clumsiness on the dance floor. She had been putting off taking lessons, but

she finally took the bull by the horns and went to a professional dance

studio for help. She was tired of feeling left out and acted decisively to

correct the situation.
