There should be more severe laws to prevent fake news from quickly spreading on social
media.

3. Drag and drop to complete the argument with the linking words and expressions
below.
Many are the inequalities in our society, but let’s have a quick look at gender inequality.

The systematic challenges faced to fight it are undeniable. Additionally , COVID-19 crisis

has prevented progress on the cause. As a consequence , local and global women’s

movements shrank, unfortunately. But important groups have made efforts to overcome a lot

of obstacles. As an example , there were forums held in Mexico City and Paris that

mobilised billions of dollars to plan and accelerate gender equality. Lastly , it is urgent to

take action to eliminate violence against women.

5. Write the expressions to complete the review of the Black Panther film.

I think by far • My favourite character is • This is a perfect film • goes without saying

Black Panther (2018) is a top five box-office film in the USA, and its importance as one of the

most iconic movies ever produced goes without saying . It tells the story of five African

tribes that went on a war over a rare metal – vibranium. After swallowing a herb affected by

this rare metal, one warrior gains superpowers becoming the first ‘Black Panther’. Then he

reunites all the tribes, except one, Wakanda. The people from Wakanda use the vibranium to

become a technological superpower but get isolated from the rest of the world by pretending

to be a third world nation.

My favourite character is Nakia, the protagonist’s girlfriend, because of how powerful she

is and also the way she defends a peaceful cooperation, not to mention Lupita Nyong’o’s
amazing performance.

This is a perfect film to watch with the family. It is gripping and it can trigger an interesting

conversation with children and adolescents. I think by far that Black Panther is a favourite

superhero film among young people because of its important representation of black people

as superheroes.
