Read the excerpt below from "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare:

"Even as a flatt'ring dream or worthless fancy.
Then take him up, and manage well the jest.
Carry him gently to my fairest chamber,
And hang it round with all my wanton pictures;
Balm his foul head in warm distillèd waters,
And burn sweet wood to make the lodging sweet;
Procure me music ready when he wakes
To make a dulcet and a heavenly sound."

'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon


A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3 million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study.

Researchers used LIDAR − a technology that fires pulses of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map the ground below − to survey more than 4,400km of the southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were published in Nature.

Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may have been around three times larger than previously expected. At its peak, their society may have numbered 1.25 −3 million people.

The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take various shapes including circles and squares and appear to be connected by straight roads or pathways.

"The scale and precision of these constructions are simply astonishing," lead author and University of Helsinki archaeologist, Prof Martti Pärssinen, told BBC Science Focus.

"Based on LiDAR surveys covering 4,500 km², we estimate that the entire 183,000 km² Aquiry region may contain approximately 24,000 to 30,000 earthworks linked by hundreds of roads, revealing a scale of landscape modification previously unimaginable for this part of Amazonia."

Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the trees, experts could only investigate deforested areas of the Amazon − fuelling a mistaken belief that only the rainforest's sparser regions had been settled by humans, and not its denser parts.

"These findings suggest that many other regions across Amazonia may likewise have been far more densely populated and intensively modified than previously assumed, challenging the long-standing view of the rainforest as a largely untouched wilderness," Pärssinen said.

The next phase of the project is to use the same laser technology to identify tree species that early societies domesticated − such as those bearing nuts or fruit, and which continue to grow in the region today.

"We will then investigate how their distribution relates to different ecosystems, as well as to the locations of earthworks and ancient road networks," Pärssinen said. "Simply put, one cannot help but wonder: what else remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?"

Consider the sentence.

"Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation [...] may have been around three times larger than previously expected."

The words "now," "larger," and "previously" belong to different grammatical categories and perform distinct functions in the sentence.

In Brazil, four in ten teenagers face school bullying


In Brazil, four out of ten students aged 13 to 17 say they have already been victims of bullying, and 27.2 percent in this age group have suffered some form of humiliation two or more times.

The data, released this week, are based on testimonies collected in 2024 in schools across Brazil by the Brazilian government’s statistics agency IBGE as part of the National School Health Survey (PeNSE).

Compared to the previous survey, conducted in 2019, there was a 0.7 percentage point increase in the total number of students who reported having suffered bullying. The proportion of students who experienced it at least twice rose by more than 4 percentage points, Marco Andreazzi, the research manager, emphasized.

“Bullying is already characterized as something persistent, intermittent… And here we observe an upward trend, indicating that more students have begun to experience repeated situations of violence,” Andreazzi said.

The researcher stressed that “the number of those who suffer bullying remains practically the same; however, the persistence and intensity of the episodes have increased.”

Appearance, race, gender

Bullied students told researchers that their facial features or hair were the main targets of bullying, accounting for 30.2 percent of cases.

Next is body appearance, accounting for 24.7 percent, followed by bullying related to color or race, reported by 10.6 percent.

“There is also a high percentage - 26.3 percent - of students who say the bullying had no reason. That is, many of those who suffer do not know why, and this is natural, since bullying occurs collectively and the victim does not necessarily perceive a reason for it. On the contrary, they feel completely wronged,” the research manager noted.

The research found that girls are the most affected - 43.3 percent have experienced bullying, compared to 37.3 percent of boys.

Furthermore, 30.1 percent of female adolescent students reported feeling humiliated by teasing from classmates two or more times. This proportion is nearly 6 percentage points higher than among male students.

Profile of the aggressors

Data on those who commit bullying show an inverse pattern: 13.7 percent of students reported having engaged in some form of violence - 16.5 percent of boys and 10.9 percent of girls.

IBGE also asked about the reasons for the aggression, and once again, facial features, hair, body type, and skin color or race were the most frequently cited.

However, some significant differences emerged in relation to victims’ reports. For example, 12.1 percent of perpetrators said they engaged in bullying because of their classmates’ gender or sexual orientation, while only 6.4 percent of victims identified this as a motive for the violence.

A similar pattern emerged regarding disability: while 7.6 percent of perpetrators acknowledged engaging in bullying for this reason, only 2.6 percent of victims associated the attacks with this characteristic.

For researchers, this may indicate that many victims prefer to remain silent about the circumstances for fear of being stigmatized.

Underground library in Warsaw metro invites commuters to trade scrolling for stories

In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a newly opened subterranean library inside the Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.

The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than 16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal area, all while waiting for their train.

“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational and cultural center, and not just a place where you can borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.

A modern space that breathes life into books

Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers gives the underground space a breath of fresh air, literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft, undulating waves, add to the organic feel.

“I always joke that books are not made of glass,” Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”

Aiming to reverse a national trend

Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy of war has shaped these numbers. During World War II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.

“We had several generations that did not see their parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,” Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers, librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”

By placing literature in the path of everyday commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural perception.

An open invitation to all

For Makowski, the location is just as important as the books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but a place where you can spend time freely, take part in discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”

In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the community. Books can be returned either directly to the library or via parcel lockers outside the station, available around the clock.

As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm, Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural moments. By meeting people where they are, literally underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading. It’s redefining what public space can offer.

(__) Advérbios de modo derivados de adjetivos terminados em -ic, como "tragic" ou "economic", exigem a inserção da sílaba intermediária -al- antes da adição do sufixo -ly, resultando em formas como "tragically".
(__) Advérbios de frequência indeterminada, como "seldom" e "often", ocupam majoritariamente a posição final da frase quando o verbo principal está no tempo presente simples, para evitar a fragmentação do sintagma verbal.
(__) O termo "hardly" funciona como um advérbio de intensidade com carga semântica negativa, não guardando relação de significado com o advérbio de modo "hard", que descreve a aplicação de esforço ou força.
(__) Advérbios conectivos (conjunctive adverbs), como "nonetheless" e "furthermore", exigem o uso de ponto e vírgula ou ponto final para separar as orações independentes que relacionam logicamente no texto.

National Assessment Reform: Core Considerations for Brazil


    Education has been an integral part of Brazil’s success story. With expanded access to basic education and improvements in literacy rates, young Brazilians are entering today’s workforce with higher levels of education than previous generations. This educational progress has contributed to and benefited from the economic growth that helped improve living standards and, during the first decade of the millennium, lifted more than 29 million people out of poverty. Trend data from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) reveal that Brazil’s increasing school participation rates have been realised alongside progress in education quality. This is a remarkable achievement considering that many of the new students progressing through the education system come from disadvantaged backgrounds and often lack the socio-economic support that helps enable learning. Nevertheless, PISA also reveals that the overall performance of Brazil’s education system is well below the OECD average and other emerging economies, such as parts of China and the Russian Federation. One reason for this is Brazil’s high share of students who do not achieve baseline proficiency, or Level 2 in PISA. Results from PISA 2018 show that 50% of Brazilian students failed to reach Level 2 in reading, meaning they can only complete basic tasks. Brazil’s share of low-performers was even higher in Mathematics and Science (68% and 55%, respectively). At the other end of the spectrum, few students in Brazil were able to answer more difficult PISA questions, like inferring neutrality or bias in a text, which require skills that are increasingly important in today’s world. The new approach to education, set out in the BNCC, aims not only to ensure that all students achieve basic cognitive skills but also develop the higher-order skills needed to solve complex problems of everyday life.
