Netherlands: Phone ban announced to stop school
disruptions
(1º§) Devices including mobile phones are set to be
banned from classrooms to stop them from disrupting
learning, the Dutch government has announced. The
initiative is being introduced in collaboration with schools
and is to take effect at the start of next year.
(2º§) There will be some exceptions, including for
students with medical needs or a disability, and for
classes focused on digital skills. The ban is not legally
enforceable but may become so in the future. "Even
though mobile phones are almost intertwined with our
lives, they do not belong in the classroom," said
Education Minister Robbert Dijkgraaf. "Students must be
able to concentrate there and be given every opportunity
to learn well. We know from scientific research that
mobile phones disrupt this."
(3º§) Various studies have found limiting children's
screen time is linked to improved cognition and
concentration. Other tech including tablets and
smartwatches are also included in the Dutch ban. The
government said it would be up to individual schools to
agree the exact rules with teachers, parents and pupils -
including whether they wanted to completely ban devices
__ schools.
(4º§) The scheme is the result of an agreement between
the ministry, schools and related organisations. It will be
reviewed at the end of the 2024/2025 school year to see
how well it had worked and whether a legal ban is
needed. The announcement follows a similar decision by
Finland last week.
(5º§) Its government announced it would change the law
to make it easier __ restrict the use of phones in schools.
Other countries, including England and France, have also
proposed banning mobile phones to improve learning.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder a questão.
(1º§) Arthritis and osteoporosis are long-term conditions
that affect your bones. Arthritis causes swelling and
inflammation. Osteoporosis develops as a result of
decreased bone mass and density, and can lead to
fractures.
(2º§) Jane Atkinson looks at ways to keep your bones
and joints healthy. Regular, low-impact exercise can help
in the battle against joint pain. Nuffield Health has
launched a free joint pain programme to help sufferers
lead a more independent life - and you don't even need
to be a paying member of the gym to join up. As well as
exercises, it offers lifestyle tips and uses relaxation
techniques to try to help with pain so those affected can
sleep.
(3º§) The programme, which lasts six months, has
proven results. Of those who completed it, 69 per cent
say they have improvements in mobility, pain, general
fitness levels and overall quality of life. Among
participants who were in such pain they couldn't work, 30
per cent were able to return after week 12. Working out
what supplements you need and how much you need is
not always easy.
(4º§) Osteo Complete is a bone health complex that
includes calcium, vitamin D3, zinc, boron and copper.
These elements work together to help maintain your
musculoskeletal system, which supports the body and its
movements. Vitamin D3 is crucial for the absorption of
calcium. The minerals magnesium and zinc contribute to
normal protein synthesis, while copper helps maintain
connective tissues.
(5º§) These very tasty vanilla-flavoured tablets are a
good alternative for people who do not like swallowing
pills as you can chew them. 240 chewable tablets,
£18.95, healthspan.co.uk.
(6º§) The world has gone mad for collagen. There are
different types, but for bone health the best is Type I. It
provides structure to your skin, bones, tendons and
ligaments. The change is not instant. Take it regularly
and it could take a year to achieve the full results, but if
you are persistent it does work. I like Correxiko Marine
Collagen Type I. It comes from the skin of deep-sea fish,
caught off the coast of Canada.
(7º§) It is an unflavoured powder that you bung in water
or a coffee. Lisa Snowdon says her menopausal and
age-related aches and pains have gone since she started
using it. £39.95 for a 42-day supply, correxiko.com.

Read the quote about error to get familiarized with the topic.
“Mistakes are often divided into errors and slips. Errors happen when learners try to say something that is beyond their current level of language processing. Usually, learners cannot correct errors themselves because they don’t understand what is wrong. Errors play a necessary and important part in language learning. Slips are the result of tiredness, worry or other temporary emotions or circumstances. These kinds of mistakes can be corrected by learners once they realize they have made them.”
(SPRATT; PULLVERNESS; WILLIAMS, 2005, p. 44)
Judge the items below as (T) True or (F) False.
1. There are two main reasons why learners make errors. The first reason is influence from the learner’s first language (L1) on the second language. This is called interference or transfer. Learners may use sound patterns, lexis or grammatical structures from their own language in English. The second reason is because they are unconsciously working out or organizing language, but this process is not yet complete. This kind of error is called a developmental error.
2. Errors in which learners wrongly apply a rule for one item of the language to another item are known as overgeneralization, and as a second language learners’ language ability increases, these kinds of errors also reduce.
3. Errors are part of learner’s interlanguage, which develops and progresses as they learn more. Experts think that interlanguage is an essential and unavoidable stage in language learning. In other words, interlanguage and errors are necessary to language learning.
4. Errors are a natural part of learning. They usually show that learners are learning and that their internal mental processes are working on experimenting with language.
5. Sometimes errors do not disappear, but get fossilized. These fossilized errors may be the result of lack of exposure to the second language and/or of a learner’s lack of motivation to improve their level of accuracy.
Choose the CORRECT sequence.
