Text 2A7
Artificial intelligence (AI) is arguably the most rapidly
advancing technology humans have ever developed. A year ago,
you wouldn’t often hear AI come up in a regular conversation,
but today it seems there’s constant talk about how generative AI
tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E will affect the future of work,
the spread of information, and more. A major question that has
thus far been almost entirely unexamined is how this
AI-dominated future will affect people’s minds.
There’s been some research into how using AI in their
jobs will affect people mentally, but there isn’t yet an
understanding of how simply living amongst so much
AI-generated content and systems will affect people’s sense of
the world. How is AI going to change individuals and society in
the not-too-distant future?
AI will obviously make it easier to produce
disinformation. That will affect people’s sense of trust as they’re
scrolling on social media. AI can also allow someone to imitate
your loved ones, which further erodes people’s general ability to
trust what was once unquestionable.

(§1º)Budelli Island is part of the La Maddalena
Archipelago and is home to Spiaggia Rosa - a stretch of
pink sand that's been protected by the Italian government
since 1992.
(§2º)The pink shade is caused by the crushed shells of a
micro-organism mixing with the sand when it dies. But
when the beach started to lose its rose-tinted hue
because of over-tourism, visitors were banned in a bit to
protect the pink sand.
(§3º)The colour has since returned but a new wave of
unauthorised daytrippers are threatening the pink shores.
While it is strictly forbidden to step foot on the beach,
holidaymakers are able to admire the pink sand from the
safety of a boat. But according to one expert, some
holidaymakers are flouting the ban.
(§4º)In an article in the Times, Fabrizio Fonnesu, director
of the Maddalena archipelago national park said: "The
beach is again in danger as people arrive by boat,
clamber up the beach, then post photos, which allow us
to fine them up to 500 euros (£430)."
(§5º)Tourists who've attempted to take Sardinia's pink
sand away as a souvenir can up fined up to 3,500 euros (£3,007). And according to the Guardian, a couple were
fined 1,000 euros (£860) in 2001 after they were caught
filling a plastic bottle with sand.
(§6º)Brits who want to visit the island will need to book
themself onto a private boat tour or a ferry service to
glimpse this secluded spot from afar. Other beaches on
the island have also brought in measures to minimise the
impact of tourists. Only 1,600 people can visit Cala Sisine
while Santa Maria Navarrese only permits 1,300 euros.
(§7º)Fewer still are able to visit Cala Mariolu, with only
550 people allowed in per day and each having to pay a
1 euro fee. Elsewhere, Pelosa Beach has banned towels
and asked visitors to instead bring mats which gather
less sand. Anyone visiting will have to pay 3.50 euros.
(§8º)Meanwhile, tourists wanting to visit the beaches of
Cala Coticcio and Cala Brigantina in the archipelago of
La Maddalena will have to pay 3 euros per person for
access each day after new rules were brought in. The
archipelago itself is a national park and only accessible
with a guide, which will cost 25 euros for five hours.
(§9º)And anyone caught visiting the archipelago without a
guide could face prosecution. Just 60 people will be
permitted on each beach per day, as the local authorities
look at ways to protect the sites from the impact of
tourism.
(§10º)Slots must be booked in advance by contacting a
local guide but it is hoped that an app will be launched
soon. Here are several other pink beaches
holidaymakers can visit across Europe - and one's in the
UK. And a beach in the Canary Islands even has sand
that looks like popcorn, due to the shape of the coral.

Tracy Chou is a 31-year-old programmer — and “an
absolute rock star,” as her former boss Ben Silbermann, the CEO
and co-founder of Pinterest, once said. Yet for all her street cred,
Chou still finds herself grappling with one of the biggest
problems in the industry: Female programmers are regarded
skeptically, and sometimes even treated with flat-out hostility.
She’s seen the same pattern of behavior personally during her
decade in coding: colleagues who muse openly about whether
women are biologically less wired to be great programmers.
There’s a deep irony here — because women were in
computing from its earliest days. Indeed, they were considered
essential back when “computers” were not even yet machines.
Just before the digital age emerged, computers were humans.
And for a time, a large portion of them were women.
Soon, the human computers faced an even more
existential threat: digital computers, which promised to work
with far greater speed and to handle complex math.
Women, though, were among the original coders of these
strange new digital brains, because in the early days
programming was seen as dull work. The earliest programmers
for the Eniac — the military-funded first programmable
general-purpose computer — were entirely women. And though
they wound up inventing brilliant coding techniques, they
received none of the glory: When the Army showed off the Eniac
to the press, it did not introduce the women who had written
the code.

In many parts of the world colonial hegemony has
resulted in the dominance of the coloniser's language at the
expense of native languages. The suppression of indigenous
languages is intricately connected with mental health problems.
Indigenous youth with less knowledge of their native language
are six times more likely to have suicidal ideation than those
with greater language knowledge. Language suppression impairs
self-identity, wellbeing, self-esteem, and empowerment.
Just as language extinction can affect mental health, so
can reinstating a language. Aboriginal youth who are capable of
speaking their native language are less likely to consume alcohol
or use illicit substances at risky amounts, and are less likely to be
exposed to violence. Moreover, knowledge of indigenous
languages is associated with a decrease in youth suicide by 50% a
year.
The digital recording of indigenous languages might be
useful for documentation, restoration, promotion, and education.
Sufficient fund allocation is required to recover and store the
alphabets of indigenous languages. Separate indigenous language
educational institutes, in which researchers and mental health
professionals can work in cooperation, are also extremely
necessary. These concerted efforts might help result in the
renewal of a given indigenous language and potentially reduce
mental health problems.

A New Buzz In Teaching And Learning: ChatGPT
[…]
We live in a world constructed by data and content. With theavailability of AI chatbots, we can generate tons of them, with just
a few taps on our keyboards. Undeniably, ChatGPT is a powerful
and versatile language model, with the potential to revolutionize
how we learn and interact with machines. As the Chinese idiom
says, "Water can carry a boat but can also overturn it." This
expression is a reminder that everything has its pros and cons, and
it's therefore important to remain aware of potential risks and take
the necessary precautions. With this in mind, it’s of the utmost
importance to use this tool in a responsible and ethical manner, to
ensure that the output aligns with the desired use cases.

Text 2 – Computers
(Text adapted from History of Computing. Retrieved from
https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~mitra/csFall2006/cs 303/lectures/history.html)
When you hear the term computers, it’s difficult to
imagine different devices from a laptop or a small
desktop. Believe it or not, they weren’t always like
they are today. They used to be very large and
heavy, sometimes as big as an entire room. Some
technology professors historically define computers,
as “a device that can help with computations”. The
word computation involves counting, calculating,
adding, subtracting, etc. The modern definition of a
computer is a little wider, because in our day and
age, computers store, compile, analyze and
compute an enormous amount of information.
Ancient computers were very interesting. Actually,
the first computer may have been located in Great
Britain, at Stonehenge. It is a man-made circle of
large stones. Citizens used it to measure the
weather and forecast the change of seasons. Some
specialists say that another ancient computer is the
abacus. It was used by the early Romans, Greeks,
and Egyptians to count and calculate. Even though
they are no longer in use, certainly, these early
devices are fascinating. Computers are embedded
in our history and some people say that we are
completely dependent of them. No matter the
complexity of the task, easy or difficult, some people
can’t do anything without them. Do you contest or
share this opinion?
Note the adjective order in the sentences: “It is
a made-man circle of large stones”. Mark the
correct alternative regarding the explanation
about the position of adjectives in English.
I. the made-man circle - the inversion of a noun (man) with an adverb (made) is one of the possibilities for forming noun groups with an emphasis on adjectives.
II. circle of large stones – the preposition 'of' is an indication that the previous word is a verb.
III. large stones – the position of the adjective (large) before the noun (stones) is one of the possible formations of the order of adjectives.

Text 1- English as a global language
(Adapted from Teaching English Today: context
and objectives, Holden & Nobre, 2018, p.03)
All languages reflect the culture of the countries and regions where they have developed and are used. However, some languages are also used as a means of communication between a wide range of non-native speakers and contexts. In this way, the communication develops new priorities to reflect those contexts.
Today, English is probably the prime example of a global language. It is used to communicate in areas such as the workplace, science and technology, the arts and in the world of business. This is why so many parents are keen of their children to start learning it at an ever-earlier age. Students, too, realize that English in more than just a school subject: it is important for their own future success. This realization can be used to your advantage as a teacher:
Your students should be aware that English is widely used among non-native speakers in a variety of contexts in their own environments. It is no longer just linked with going to the US or Britain.
They are more likely to be motivated if they feel they are being given appropriate materials and practice for their own needs, which is easier to do nowadays, since English is present almost everywhere.
In fact, you are part of this world where English is used, however imperfectly, in real life, as well as being part of that other, classroom world. This gives your role even more importance.
The intercultural context
There are, then, clear practical and economic reasons why it is important for as many of your students as possible to feel positive about learning English, and ultimately, to feel confident about using it. However, there is also an equally important reason, which applies to all languages: their social function.
Learning and using another language can put people into contact, directly or indirectly, with others from different societies and cultures. It exposes them to different ways of thinking, different ways of communicating, different values. This, in turn, encourages them to think about their own culture, values and way of life. They realize there is not just one way of doing something, but many different ones.
In other words, as well as equipping learners with practical skills, learning a foreign language extends their horizons, which is one of the important aims of education in most countries.
In reading process, the strategy of finding the ‘headword(s)’ (noun in Morphology; and core argument in Syntax - as subject or object main word), and the ‘modifier(s)’ (words that modify the headword) is (are) important because it (they) can define the pluralization or not of a verb, and they can also provide the complement of a verb. The combination of H (headword) and M (modifier) is called nominal group.
From the underlined fragments, analyze the headword of each nominal group and mark the correct alternative. “the communication /develops /new priorities /to reflect /those contexts”.

Why Easter is bad for ducks
On Christmas Eve, two Pekin ducks were found
frozen to a pond in Smithville, Ohio. They flapped their
wings and squawked, fruitlessly struggling to free
themselves until two locals, Maiara and Helder Bertolucci,
spotted them. The pair slid on their stomachs over razor-thin
ice and chiseled the animals free.
The rescued ducks—later named Olaf and Elsa, after
characters from Disney’s Frozen—were two of 109 domestic
ducks abandoned in a pond outside of a restaurant. A local
group ________ Good Sprout Rescue and Sanctuary rescued
the animals; two died, but the rest were rehomed to
sanctuaries or adopted. Every spring, the Barn Restaurant
would buy a hundred new babies for its patrons to enjoy—
but since this incident they’ve __________ not to do so
again.
Every year in springtime, particularly at Easter,
many people “impulse buy” ducklings as gifts, often for their
kids. But after the holiday, sometimes months later, animal
rescuers routinely see an uptick in abandoned adult ducks in
local parks and ponds, Di Leonardo says. There’s no
________ data on how often this happens, but he estimates
tens of thousands of domestic ducks are dumped each year
throughout the U.S. His organization rescues as many as 500
ducks per year in the New York City area alone.
