[GLN EC] No meeting on 31/08 & 1/09

Please be informed that there will be no meeting as usual in both GLN EC Saturday and GLN EC Sunday this week (31/08 & 1/09)                                            

[GLN EC Sunday] Topic 25/08: Transportation

Distance is a key reason that decides which type of transportation to use. Scooters, cars, trains, ships, etc all of them are means of transportation, and they make people travel more easily. Despite the undeniable benefits, transportation also has negative points. Let's come to GLN EC this Sunday and raise your voice about this topic.

[GLN EC Saturday] Topic 24/08: Beggars

Around public places in modern cities and towns, including Hanoi, Ho chi minh city, there are a plenty number of people begging for money. They look so miserable with insufficient and disheveled clothes, no food and eyes wandering aimlessly. Passers-by, out of their sympathy, throw some coins and notes into these beseeching people’s hats used as their money collection boxes while most go by without a glance and even eye them with a despising thought “What is the hell these bastards are doing?”.

How do you think about begging? Let’s come to GLN English Club and enjoy the topic “Beggars” in this Saturday afternoon.

2:30 – 2:45 Breaking the ice

Making friends with others

2:45 – 3:35 Working in pairs

1.      Have you often encountered beggars on streets?  How have they behaved? What have you done to them?

2.      Why do people become beggars?  List as many reasons as you can (even the most impossible one).

3.      In Vietnam, is begging a reluctant way to survive the hard times of homeless people with no job and possession or organized thoroughly by groups of beggars?

4.      How are the impacts of beggars on other people and our society (including the security, the peace and the reputation of towns and cities)? 

5.      Should this act legally banned? Why (or why not)? Brainstorm the solutions to help beggars if they weren’t allowed by the law to beg other people.

3:35 – 3:50 Playing a game

3:50 – 4:30 Solving the problem

If you had nothing, no friend, no relative, no money, food and others, what would you do? Would you become beggars, perhaps, for a short time? Each member has at most 2 minutes to present his idea to cope with the problem.
