READ THE TEXT CAREFULLY AND DO THE ACTIVITIES.
In a society where written communication predominates, the person who doesn’t
possess the fundamental technical skills of reading, writing and arithmetic inevitably finds
himself in a position of inferiority: in shops, public transport, at the bank and the post
office, in the exercise of civil rights and duties, and even in the access to employment. An
illiterate unemployed person will even avoid applying for work at an employment agency
because he is ashamed of his inability to complete the necessary forms. An illiterate
worker will find it difficult to play an active role in trade union activities.
……. Having a child admitted to hospital, completing allowance form and other
administrative formalities all dealing with the authorities, school and the law, represent
insurmountable obstacles to the illiterate.
