Unit 165 Part A English

 

1    The lawyer spoke confidently, while the jury seemed unaffected.
2    The accused twitched nervously,
3    whereas her defense looked calm.
4    Expressions which once sounded 'supercool' or 'hip' ...
5    can end up sounding a bit 'naff' - or even 'pants'.
6    Governments shouldn't withhold information from you.
7    If it happens; however, citizens can appeal to higher courts of law.
8    Our police and judicial systems are at the forefront of world justice.
9    It's only natural that other countries would want to follow our lead.
10    The world is funny. Politics, on the other hand, is serious business.
