Show the Human Development Report on the screen and ask students to answer the questions.The United Nations Human Development Program has released its yearly study on the quality of life for people around the world. The UN report was started in nineteen-ninety to measure the progress of nations based on the lives of their citizens. This years report lists one-hundred-seventy-three countries. It is based on the length of time citizens are expected to live, their education level and the amount of money they earn. Norway was listed as the country providing the best quality of life for the second year. It was followed by Sweden, Canada, Belgium, Australia and the United States. The twenty four countries at the bottom of the list are all in Africa. The report says many countries in East Asia have made progress since nineteen-ninety. They include China, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia. In Latin America and the Caribbean, as many as nine countries have improved since nineteen-ninety. They include Chile, Costa Rica and Panama. At the same time, many countries in Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union lost progress in the quality of life for their citizens. This was because of problems with economic reforms. They include Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Tajikistan. This years human development report centered on the issue of democracy. Researchers found that a majority of people live in countries claiming to be democratic. However, civil rights and political freedoms were limited in one-hundred-six nations. Also, the number of voters taking part in elections is decreasing. In addition, cheating, wrongdoing and unfair politics have weakened the democratic process. In some countries, elected governments have not carried out democratic reforms. This has led to public opposition to the government and a return to military rule. UN officials say that democratic changes are slow in some countries. However, the report shows that international development goals set at the start of the twenty-first century can be met. For this to happen, they say developing countries need to move quicker toward economic, social and political reforms. And they say rich countries must become more open to trade while increasing aid and other resources. Questions:1）Why did the countries in Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union lose progress in the quality of life for their citizens?2）What is the centre of this years development report?3）Which country provides the best quality of life for their citizens?4）When was the development report started?Suggested answers:1）This is because of problems with economic reforms.2）Democracy3）Norway4）1990 Step 2 Grammar: but & however1.

Ask students to sum up the differences between the two link words. If they have any difficulty, you may give them a hand.Possible answer:From the sentences above we can sum up the similarities and differences between But and However. The two words are of the same meaning. They both mean a turn in the course of events. But is a conjunction and it can join two coordinate parts or two clauses together. While however is an adverb, so when it is used, it cannot join two clauses but can only initiate a new sentence, with a comma followed.4.
