Adolescence can be rife with anxieties and challenges, but today’s youth face unique threats on a scale encountered by no previous generation, according to an exhaustive new report on their health and wellbeing.
More than one billion people aged 10 to 24 are at risk of poor health outcomes by 2030, which is at least half the global adolescent population, concluded the report published on Tuesday in the Lancet, a leading medical journal. Adolescents are experiencing rising rates of obesity and mental health struggles, while also grappling with the influence of digital technologies and a destabilized global climate.
“Even I was shocked by what some of these numbers and future predictions look like,” says Sarah Baird, a professor of global health and economics at the George Washington University and co‑chair of the Lancet Commission that produced the report. “It’s clear we’re already in, and going to be increasingly in, a crisis of bad health among young people.”
Lancet Commissions are independent research teams convened by the Lancet to examine specific health topics and recommend policy actions. This report was compiled by 44 experts, including ten Youth Commissioners, who reviewed some 550 peer‑reviewed studies since starting their work in 2021. It follows the first report on adolescent health and wellbeing published in 2016.
“What life is like as an adolescent today is very different than ten years ago,” says Baird. “Given all these other competing demands for resources, attention, and focus, adolescents have once again fallen into the background. It’s time to really remind people of why they’re important, and that ignoring them in this time of rapid change is potentially disastrous.”
Though there is some good news in the report’s f indings – declining rates of cigarette smoking and alcohol use and better access to education, particularly for girls – the report warns that the health of young people is at “a tipping point” in an uncertain and rapidly changing world.

Is other a verb?
Like many English words, other possesses great flexibility in
meaning and function. Over the past few centuries, it has served
as an adjective, an adverb, a noun, and a pronoun. In recent
decades, other has increased its part-of-speech portfolio to
include verb use, having acquired the meaning "to treat or
consider (a person or a group of people) as alien to oneself or
one's group.” Some people find it disconcerting when a word
takes on a new part of speech, a process known as functional
shift. The phenomenon is quite common, however -- our
language contains many thousands of words which are reported
to have been formed in this fashion.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/other.
Forms of other can be used as either adjectives or pronouns –
besides the more recent verb form. They include others, the
other, the others, another. Indicate the correct use of one of
these forms:

READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER QUESTION
The importance of assessing the social and economic impacts of
environmental policies
Policymakers face the challenge of supporting both inclusive and
sustainable economic development and a healthy environment.
While the most desirable policy outcome is one that achieves the
greatest environmental benefits while also advancing socioeconomic goals, it is important for policymakers to fully
understand the possible trade-offs between these objectives. A
better understanding of the broader impacts of environmental
policies is crucial to mitigate their adverse effects on competing
goals, especially as countries are faced with the arduous task of
responding to mounting environmental challenges in economically
turbulent times.
Governments are under pressure to scale up and accelerate their
ambition on climate and environmental goals. But in taking such
action forward, they have to carefully navigate a number of
headwinds. These include the long-term impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on both the economy and society, cost-of-living crisis,
political tensions and geopolitical crises such as the Russian
invasion of Ukraine. Low-income people and the poorest
economies are the hardest hit, primarily due to the steep increases
in the price of energy and food.
The level of environmental policy stringency can have an impact
on a variety of policy outcomes. Empirical research is crucial to
shed light on these interlinkages. Previous research has shown that
more stringent environmental policy has achieved significant
environmental benefits with little aggregate effect on economic
performance. However, localized effects may generate winners
and losers, with significant losses for certain sectors, firms or
individuals and benefits for others. Nonetheless, at present, the
empirical evidence on these distributional aspects is still scarce,
despite its crucial role in supporting good policy design. More than
ever, regulators need better tools and insights to assess the
consequences of environmental policies on the economy and on
social outcomes.

Read the following extract to answer question.
A friend of mine who is an orchestral conductor was
asking me (early in our acquaintance) about what I did for
a living. When I told him that apart from other activities, I
wrote books about how to teach English he said ‘Books in
the plural? Surely once you’ve written one, there’s nothing
more to say!’ I wanted to reply that he had just argued himself
out of a job (I mean, how many performances of Beethoven
symphonies have there been in the twenty-first century
alone?), but someone else laughed at his question, another
musician made a different comment, the conversation moved
on, and so Martin-the-conductor’s flippant enquiry evaporated
in the convivial atmosphere of a British pub.
But his question was a good one. Surely we know how
to teach languages? After all, people have been doing it
successfully for two thousand years or more, and some
aspects of teaching in the past have probably not changed
that much. But other things have, and continue to change.
Which is (I suppose) why every time I re-examine past
assumptions about teaching, I find myself questioning and
reinterpreting things I thought were fixed. And of course, I am
not alone in this. We all do it all the time – or at least we do if
we haven’t closed our minds off from the possibility of change
and renewal.
Language teaching, perhaps more than many other
activities, reflects the times it takes place in. Language is
about communication, after all, and perhaps that is why
philosophies and techniques for learning languages seem to
develop and change in tune with the societies which give rise
to them. Teaching and learning are very human activities; they
are social just as much as they are (in our case) linguistic.
But it’s not just society that changes and evolves. The
last decades have seen what feels like unprecedented
technological change. The Internet has seen to that, and
other educational technology has not lagged behind. And it’s
exciting stuff. I’ve tried to reflect that excitement and newness
in parts of this new edition.
(Jeremy Harmer, How to teach English. Adaptado)
In the fragment taken from the second paragraph “But
other things have, and continue to change”, the word in
bold belongs to a group of words made up of adjectives
and pronouns such as “the other”, “the others”, “others”,
“another”.

Hypatia (born c. 355 CE—died March 415,
Alexandria) was a mathematician, astronomer, and
philosopher who lived in a very turbulent era in Alexandria’s
history. She is the earliest female mathematician of whose
life and work reasonably detailed knowledge exists. Hypatia
was the daughter of Theon of Alexandria, himself a
mathematician and astronomer and the last attested
member of the Alexandrian Museum. Hypatia continued his
program, which was essentially a determined effort to
preserve the Greek mathematical and astronomical heritage
in (1) extremely difficult times. She is credited with
commentaries on geometry, number theory, as well as an
(2) astronomical table. These works, the only ones she is
listed as having written, have been lost, although there have
been attempts to (3) reconstruct aspects of them. She was,
in her time, the world’s leading mathematician and
astronomer, the only woman for (4) whom such claim can be
made.
She was also a popular teacher and lecturer on
philosophical topics of a less-specialist nature, attracting
many loyal students and large audiences. Her philosophy
was Neoplatonist and was thus seen as “pagan” at a time of
bitter religious conflict between Christians (both orthodox
and “heretical”), Jews, and pagans. Her philosophy also led
her to embrace a life of dedicated virginity.
The climate of tolerance lapsed, and shortly
afterward Hypatia became the victim of a particularly brutal
murder at the hands of a gang of Christian zealots.
The affair
made Hypatia a powerful feminist symbol and a figure of
affirmation for intellectual endeavor in the face of ignorant
prejudice. Her intellectual accomplishments alone were
quite ______ to merit the preservation and respect of her
name, but, sadly, the manner of her death added to it an
even greater emphasis.

Dear friend,
I do not like high school. The cafeteria is called the
"Nutrition Center," which is strange. There is this one girl in
my advanced English class named Susan. In middle school,
Susan was very fun to be around. She liked movies, and her
brother Frank made her tapes of this great music that she
shared with us. But over the summer she had her braces
taken off, and she got a little (1) taller and prettier and grew
breasts. Now, she acts a lot dumber in the hallways,
especially when boys are around. And I think it's sad because
Susan doesn't look as happy. To tell you the truth, she
doesn't like to admit she's in the advanced English class, and
she doesn't like to say "hi" to me in the hall anymore.
When Susan was at the guidance counselor meeting
about Michael, she said that Michael once told her that she
was the (2) prettiest girl in the whole world, braces and all.
Then, he asked her to "go with him," which was a big deal at
any school. They call it "going out" in high school. And they
kissed and talked about movies, and she missed him terribly
because he was her best friend.
It's funny, too, because boys and girls normally
weren't best friends around my school. But Michael and
Susan were. Kind of like my Aunt Helen and me. I'm sorry.
"My Aunt Helen and I." That's one thing I learned this week.
That and more consistent punctuation.
I keep quiet most of the time, and only one kid
named Sean really seemed to notice me. He waited for me
after gym class and said really immature things like how he
was going to give me a "swirlie," which is where someone
sticks your head in the toilet and flushes to make your hair
swirl around. He seemed pretty unhappy as well, and I told
him so. Then, he got mad and started hitting me, and I just
did the things my brother taught me to do. My brother is a
very good fighter.

WHAT IS THE COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH?
In the Communicative Approach, real communication and interaction is not only the objective in learning, but also the means through which it takes place. This approach started in the 70s and became prominent as it proposed an alternative to the then ubiquitous systems-oriented approaches, such as the Audiolingual method. That means that, instead of focusing on the acquisition of grammar and vocabulary (grammatical/linguistic competence), the Communicative Approach aimed at developing the learner’s competence to communicate in the target language (communicative competence), with an enhanced focus on real-life situations.
