13 Ask learners to read the review and say if they find the 
opinions expressed clearly or not. Elicit that the student 
makes their opinions very explicit, which might not be 
appropriate in an academic context.
Suggested answers
Professional skills and ethics, which so far have attracted 
(little) no attention, are analysed in this article from a narrower 
perspective which focuses (more) on the job of an economist. 
However, the conclusions of the author (may/might/could) apply 
to (almost) any profession. The pace of development in society is 
(can be) fast in (practically any sphere) all spheres of life, which 
creates a new system of standards and requirements. Thus, 
professionalism comes to be viewed through the lens of morality 
which is a (fairly) complex notion, difficult to define objectively. It 
is (practically) really impossible to use morality as a criterion in 
assessing the degree of professionalism of any employee. 
Speaking
14 It might be difficult for some learners to remember a 
book or an article to review. In this case, ask them to find 
a book to review at home and review it in the next lesson.
If your learners all work in the same field and know the 
books that may be reviewed, you could organise this 
activity as a game. Ask learners to make notes on a book 
or an article in their field. and to present their short 
reviews without giving the name of the book/article 
reviewed. The other learners have to guess what book/
article is being reviewed.
Learners’ own answers.
Follow-up
15 Advise learners to find reviews of books they have read 
or are familiar with as this will help them to understand 
the reviews. Learners’ compare the language and the 
content of the reviews, not those of the books reviewed.
