اختبار الفصل الأول في اللغة الإنجليزية — السنة الثالثة ثانوي (النموذج 2)
Duration: ساعتان
According to international organisations, millions of children around the world still work instead of going to school. Many of them work in fields, mines or small factories for very little money. Some companies have bought cheap products made by children because they wanted to increase their profits.
In recent years, consumers have become more aware of this problem. Many of them now refuse to buy products when they are not sure how they were made. As a result, several big companies have changed their policies and promised to check their suppliers. Experts believe that governments ought to apply strict laws, and that companies must respect human rights if they want to keep the trust of their customers.
