Coordinating conjunctions, including “and,” “but,” and “or,”
serve to connect elements of equal grammatical rank
within a sentence. These conjunctions facilitate the
formation of compound structures, enabling a concise
and organized expression of ideas in American English.
Understanding their application enhances syntactical
clarity and coherence in written and spoken
communication.

Correlative conjunctions, exemplified by pairs like
“either...or” and “neither...nor,” work together to connect
grammatically parallel elements. The correct usage of
correlative conjunctions ensures a balanced and
harmonious structure within sentences, promoting
effective communication in American English.
Understanding the interplay between these paired
conjunctions facilitates the construction of well-formed
and logically connected expressions in both written and
spoken contexts.

Mistakes help you learn
Maija Kozlova
May 19, 2021
It is not uncommon for English language lessons to favour
communication over accuracy: real life is nothing like a
classroom! In real-life situations, when you make a mistake in the
language you are learning, context provides ample information
as to what the intended message is. In fact, most of the time,
impeccable accuracy is not needed at all! “Don’t worry about
making mistakes,” I used to tell my English language students.
“Communicating is the most important thing!”
While making mistakes when trying to master a language might
seem counter-intuitive, letting learners freely communicate
and negotiate meaning is key to success. A learner who
communicates a lot while making a few mistakes is much more
likely to develop confidence for dealing with real-life situations
than a learner who communicates very little because they’re
afraid of making any. In communicative language teaching, for
example, the teacher is tasked with both encouraging the learner
to express themselves and with providing corrective feedback in
a way that is not obstructive to communication.
This means that if a learner says, “I go swimming last night,”
it is much more effective to respond with, “Oh, that’s nice, you
went swimming. What did you do after?” rather than, “No! You
went swimming! Use past simple for past events!” – the former
encourages the learner to continue their narrative while the latter
is much more likely to make the learner stop in their tracks,
re-evaluate the context, and think twice before expressing
themselves again in the future, for the fear of making a mistake
again. Teachers need to be careful not to parrot back everything
the students say in this manner, of course, but the technique
can be an effective method of acknowledging the content of a
student’s response, while also providing feedback on accuracy.
The importance of the freedom to make mistakes in language
learning is also supported by research in psychology, which
suggests that learners who try a task without having mastered
it completely experience improved retention of new information.
A similar experiment in the context of language learning also
indicates that the process of making mistakes activates a greater
network of related knowledge in the brain, which leads to superior
learning outcomes.
It is believed that the key to help learners feel relaxed and ready
for communicating freely in the classroom is authenticity. This
means that there should be both a real communicative need for
a learner to speak and the authentic reaction from those around
to what the learner has said.
Here are a few ways of how such authentic communicative
interactions can be practiced in the classroom:
• surround learners with the English language – encourage
them to speak to you and each other in English;
• don’t worry about diverging from topics that are not strictly
covered in your lesson plan;
• model communication by telling your students stories and
anecdotes about your own life and encourage them to do
the same;
• let your learners have fun with English – give them colloquial
expressions to try and ask them to share some expressions
;
• do not overcorrect – make a note of errors and cover it in
subsequent lessons;
• avoid the temptation to turn what was intended as speaking
practice into a full-on grammar lesson.
While easier said than done, especially when the outcome of an
exam is at stake, it is worth remembering that people that our
learners might come to interact with outside of the classroom
are driven by the natural desire to understand the people they
communicate with. This is especially powerful when practiced in
the context of a classroom. They set the learners up for success
in real-life communication. In other words, when communication
is the goal, mistakes are secondary, and that’s real life, isn’t it?

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.

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.

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.

The Latest Avatar 3
Adapted from the internet
The latest Avatar 3 updates have confirmed that Captain Mick Scoresby (Brendan Cowell) will return for Avatar 3. This could spell either good news or bad for the next Avatar instalment, as his storyline was similar to Quaritch’s in that it was presumed he bit the dust, only to come back for another sequel. In addition, Zoe Saldana recently gave a filming update while speaking to Entertainment Tonight. While director James Cameron had stated that filming is nearly done for Avatar 3 back in 2020, Saldana reported to ET that the crew was going back to film for the summer, and that the process was “70% done there”.
That being said, conflicting Avatar 3 updates come from a Q&A session with producer John Landau, who said that Avatar 3 and the first act of Avatar 4 were filmed simultaneously with Avatar 2. Either way, the consensus is the sequel is nearly done with the filming process. In the same Q&A, Landau revealed that Avatar 3 will introduce two new Na’vi cultures. "But we're going to meet at least two new clans in the next movie, culturally, and go on and on as we continue that," Landau said. Likely one of these new cultures will be the fire Na’vi, of which Oona Chaplin's Varang will be a part of.
In addition, other Avatar 3 updates have confirmed two major character returns. The first is that of Avatar: The Way of Water's breakout character Payakan, the gentle and intelligent Tulkun. In an interview with The Wrap, Landau confirmed that Payakan would be back for Avatar 3, saying, "I always viewed Payakan a little bit like Lassie. And I would say this is a story like a boy and his dog, and they’re both outcasts, and they need each other." In the same interview, Landau also stated that the Avatar secondary villain Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi), who was absent for the sequel, would come back in a major way for Avatar 3.
The word “likely”, in bold type in the text
(paragraph 2) is
