LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TODAY
Until a few years ago, learning a foreign language took
place largely in the classroom, within an education system.
It usually meant learning grammar rules and vocabulary,
doing written exercises, reading specially written texts and
answering comprehension questions and - possibly -
listening to recorded texts (and answering further
comprehension questions about these, too). A lot of people
learned the language this way; in fact, you may have done
so yourself.
However, some adults who first experienced a foreign
language at school in the past did not have much success
with it. This was often because they could only see the
difficulties, such as the differences between the L1 and the
target language (L2). They often became demotivated and
decided that English was too difficult, that it had no real
use for them, and many of them gave it up as soon as they
could. They joined the large worldwide community of
unsuccessful foreign language learners.
Today, however, because English is so widely available on
the web, and in social media, as well as in many
workplaces, it has become a reality - and even a
requirement - for a great many people. As a result, it is
much easier to see the connection between what is done in
the classroom and the use of the language in the outside
world, and to ensure that the first can be seen to be a
practical preparation for the second.

Read the following text to answer question:
The Missing Ingredient in Education? Curiosity.
It’s easy to forget how important individual passion is in
education; too often it can feel like it’s a game of just painting
by the numbers. But if we all think about it for a moment,
isn’t learning actually meant to be a joyous experience? If
you think about your own life, haven’t you had an afternoon
fly past because you’ve been gripped by a certain task, a
particular lesson, a specific train of thought? School education
is no different. If we make room for young people’s individual
curiosities, notice and nurture them, we can make learning a
natural experience.
Once we find that individual spark in a child, in many
ways, the hard part is over. They can lead the way with their
learning and they don’t have to be coaxed into it. Curiosity can
be utilized through inquiry-based learning and schools all over
the world are already making the most of this type of learning.
For instance, children are driven to the museums where
they are engaged in stories, games and activities. To develop
curiosity, children identify an exhibit on a particular topic and
are encouraged to ask questions about the exhibits to fill in
the gaps in their own knowledge. Along with utilizing manmade resources such as museums, nature itself has an
important part to play in inquiry-based learning. The world is
full of natural wonders which can spark curiosity in children.
Not only is identifying and encouraging curiosity pivotal
in a child’s educational career, but it will be useful for them in
the working world too. By instilling these behaviours early on
we can help kids to become lifelong learners, which they will
need to be, as single-track careers become an antiquated idea
and we’ll potentially find ourselves working several different
careers within our lifetime. Curiosity may have killed the cat in
decades past, but it could be the key to a more stable future
for the next generation.
(Josephine Lister. Disponível em: https://hundred.org. Adaptado)
Indicate the sentence in which the word “once” is being
used with the same meaning as the word in bold in the
excerpt from the second paragraph “Once we find that
individual spark in a child, in many ways, the hard part is

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.

ABSTRACT
The impact of streaming services on youth television viewing habits and media literacy
Streaming services have revolutionized the entertainment industry, playing an important role in
attracting young people for movies and television series. The availability of streaming services such
as NetFlix, Amazon, Apple TV and other platforms have drastically reduced traditional television
viewing. Because of the availability of the shows at any time, youth are used to “marathoning”,
resulting in a single session watching complete seasons of different shows in one sitting.
Streaming watching has helped the youth to increase their knowledge about various cultures, beliefs,
and perspectives, which has helped in improving their overall understanding of the world. However,
this has also led to exposure to inappropriate content, resulting in parental monitoring of the content
viewed.
The present research has identified that streaming services have beneficial effects on the media
literacy of the youth. Nevertheless, the exposure to inadequate content needs to be monitored, so
that the beneficial aspects of streaming viewing outweigh the harm it might cause.

'Why I want an IVF baby to screen out gene that
made me go blind'
Blind content creator and TikTok star Lucy Edwards says
she's "so excited" to be on a health kick to undergo IVF,
but reveals the dilemma she faced in deciding to screen
out the very gene that made her blind.
"I'm so broody," the 29-year-old tells the BBC Access All
podcast.
Lucy and her husband Ollie married at Kew Gardens two
years ago and are now ready to start a family - but there
are complications to consider.
Lucy has the rare genetic condition Incontinentia
Pigmenti (IP) and lost her sight due to this aged 17, just
months after meeting Ollie.
The condition runs through the female line - Lucy's mum
has IP although isn't blind, her Grandma did too and her
great-aunt was blind in one eye.
Lucy is totally blind, but, if she had been a boy, she may
not have survived.
The abnormal IP gene is located on the X chromosome.
Women have two X chromosomes, while males have X
and Y, meaning the appearance of the gene can be more
catastrophic in male pregnancies.
"My grandma actually had nine miscarriages," Lucy says.
This is one of the facts that played into the complicated
decision Lucy and Ollie made to opt for pre-implantation
genetic testing, a special type of IVF where embryos are
created outside of the body and screened for the genetic
condition. Only those embryos which are not affected by
the condition are placed back into the womb.
Without medical intervention, Lucy says there would be
four potential outcomes to any pregnancy she carried: A
healthy and unaffected boy or girl, an affected boy she
would likely miscarry or who would be born with severe
brain damage or an affected girl.
She pauses, then laughs: "That sounds horrible, doesn't
it? That's me."
And that's the quandary. IVF will edit out the very thing
that has made Lucy who she is today - a journalist,
advocate, author and broadcaster.
It is an emotive topic of debate. The most well-known
conversation is around Down's syndrome and the
number of women who choose to abort a pregnancy
once their baby is tested and diagnosed as having the
condition. The question is around the value people place
on other peoples' lives which may not look like our own.
In 2021 campaigner Heidi Crowter, who herself has
Down's syndrome, challenged legislation allowing
foetuses with the condition to be aborted up until birth.
She took her case to the High Court arguing the rules were discriminatory to disabled people who could live a
good life. She lost the case and the subsequent
argument she made at the Court of Appeal. The
European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) later rejected it
as well, but Heidi continues to campaign to have the law
overturned.
It is something Lucy is very aware of and she and her
husband have spent a long time considering.
"It's understanding that it is removing that part of me that
makes me, me," Lucy says. "It's such a personal decision
and I know that I'm opening myself up for possible
designer baby discussions, but I know I'm doing it for the
right reasons."
Lucy says first being diagnosed with IP and then losing
her sight as a teenager were both traumatic events and
she wants to minimise the likelihood of miscarriage to
limit any future traumatic load.
She says she found it impossible to "knowingly" consider
having a baby naturally once she knew the science was
available to give a baby the healthiest start possible.
"If I had a baby and, unknowingly, I had a gorgeous,
gorgeous baby with disabilities, I would be so thankful, so
happy and amazed but knowingly having this gene?
That's why we're having IVF."
IP doesn't just cause blindness, it can also cause severe
epilepsy and more difficult outcomes. Lucy says having
the option to ensure complications were not passed on
felt like both a responsibility and a privilege previous
generations did not have.
"Whether we like it or not, we have to be responsible
here. Maybe a responsible issue for you, if you have IP
or another genetic disorder, is to have a child naturally
and we are not judging you in any shape or form, this is
just our decision."
In response to their openness around this decision
comments were overwhelmingly positive from Lucy's fans
which she thinks might be because she is so "disability
positive" in her everyday life - "I love being blind," she
frequently states.
But Lucy says responses have been different around the
world. When she was working in Japan and her content
was reaching audiences unfamiliar with her story, she faced a lot more trolling.
"I got a lot of abusive comments that go into my spam
filter questioning why I would be a mother," she says. "I
know that I'm going to get a lot of abuse, but I'm just
going to block them.
"I'm going to be OK. All I think about is the other mothers
that have come before me who are competent, capable
and resilient."
Lucy, who is known for her How Does A Blind Girl...
series of videos, is overjoyed by the prospect of IVF but
she has also been frank about the fact she currently does
not qualify, owing to her current weight, a sensitive
element of IVF treatment that many keep to themselves.
NHS guidelines specify your Body Mass Index (BMI)
must be 30 or under to qualify - a healthy BMI is
considered to be between 18.5 and 24.9.
"I need to be a BMI of 30 and I'm very open that I need to
lose 9kg," Lucy says. "I've already lost 15kg."
Her health journey has involved swimming, lifting weights
and many runs with Ollie tethered to her as her sighted
guide. She has also found a love for batch cooking
nutritious meals which she posts about on all of her
channels on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and the
workarounds she has developed as a blind cook.
"I wanted a positive representation of losing weight online
because it's all about this blinking jab," she says,
referring to weight loss injections. "I just wanted to lose it
healthily, have lots of nice food, talk about meal prep and
just smile and run."
Once she hits the required BMI, Lucy will qualify for three
rounds of IVF on the NHS.
She will contact her consultant, after which she has to
"spit in a cup" and offer up her DNA for genetic testing
and analysis.
Over a period of about three months, a genetics team will
"make a bespoke test to find the gene within my eggs,"
Lucy explains.
Meanwhile Lucy will inject herself with trigger shots to
stimulate the follicles within her ovaries to increase the
number of eggs produced which will be retrieved, and
then made into embryos with Ollie's sperm.
The embryos will then be tested so only ones without the
IP gene will be possible candidates. Those embryos will
be "shuffled about" so Lucy and Ollie don't know which
will be selected in terms of gender or other genetic
qualities, and implanted into Lucy, who will carry the baby
to term.
Lucy can't wait for the moment she holds her baby in her
arms.
"It will never stop being a thing within my mind that this
gene is being eradicated," she admits. "But I am very
happy in my decision."
A few days ago Lucy posted on Instagram, her cardigan
tightened at the back with a hairband to make it smaller
and fit.
"I've lost so much [weight] that my clothes are too loose
now so we had to tie it up with a bobble," she tells her
followers.
"Fingers crossed [we're] only a few weeks away from
ringing the clinic."

In the text, Lucy is described as "so excited" to undergo
IVF and "very open" about her health journey. Which
statement best explains the grammatical role of "so" and
"very" in these examples?

Inside the classroom, some learners seem to take
advantage of what is going on more than others. Aware of
this, teachers will frequently say that successful students
possess some or all of the following characteristics.
1. A willingness to listen: good learners listen to what
is going on – not just in the sense of paying attention,
but also in terms of really listening to the English
that is being used, soaking it up with eagerness and
intelligence.
2. A willingness to try new things: many good learners
are not afraid to ‘have a go’. They are prepared to
try things out and see how it works. Of course, not
all successful language learners are extroverts, but
the urge to use the language (loudly or quietly) is an
important one.
3. A willingness to think about how to learn: good
learners bring or invent their own study skills when
they come to a lesson. They think about the best way
to memorize vocabulary, the best way to read a text
(slowly, translating every word? Or quickly, trying to get
a general understanding?), the best method of drafting
and re-drafting a piece of writing.
4. A willingness to ask questions: although some
teachers can become irritated by students who are
constantly asking difficult (and sometimes irrelevant)
questions, the urge to find out why is part of a
successful learner’s equipment.
5. A willingness to accept correction: good learners
are prepared to accept corrections if it helps them.
They are keen to get feedback from the teacher and
act upon what they are told. But this only works where
teachers are able to offer constructive criticism. It
involves teachers in judging their students’ responses
to correction so that they can act accordingly.

Rain Is Coming to Burning Los Angeles and Will Bring Its Own Risks
Rain is forecast to begin as soon as Saturday afternoon and to continue as late as Monday evening, says meteorologist Kristan Lund of the National Weather Service’s Los Angeles office. The area desperately needs the precipitation, but experts are warily monitoring the situation because rain poses its own risks in recently burned areas— most notably the potential occurrence of mudslides and similar hazards. “Rain is good because we’ve been so dry,” Lund says. “However, if we get heavier rain rates or we get the thunderstorms, it’s actually a lot more dangerous because you can get debris flows.”
Fires do a couple of different things to the landscape that can increase the risk of burned material, soil and detritus hurtling out of control. When fires burn hot or long enough, they leave an invisible layer of waxy material just under the surface of the ground. This develops from decomposing leaves and other organic material, which contain naturally hydrophobic or water-repellent compounds. Fire can vaporize this litter, and the resulting gas seeps into the upper soil—where it quickly cools and condenses, forming the slippery layer.
When rain falls on ground that has been affected by this phenomenon, it can’t sink beyond the hydrophobic layer— so the water flows away, often hauling debris with it. “All of the trees, branches, everything that’s been burned—unfortunately, if it rains, that stuff just floats,” Lund says. “It’s really concerning.” Even a fire that isn’t severe enough to create a hydrophobic layer can still cause debris flows, says Danielle Touma, a climate scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. Under normal conditions, trees and other plants usually trap some rain above the surface, slowing the water’s downward journey. But on freshly burned land there’s much less greenery to interfere; all the rain immediately hits the ground. [...]
Fortunately, the rain should also help firefighters tame the blazes that remain active. The largest, the Palisades Fire, is currently 77 percent contained. The second largest, the Eaton Fire, is 95 percent contained. The Hughes Fire is third largest and only 56 percent contained. A fire can be fully contained but still burning. The containment percentage refers to the amount of the perimeter that has barriers that firefighters expect will prevent further spread.

In the 1980s, plant genetic resources were considered
under international law to be a common heritage of mankind, and
were therefore classified as goods that cannot be owned.
However, this status was strongly rejected by many emerging
countries because it gave pharmaceutical and seed companies
(mostly from rich countries) free access to their genetic resources
without being required in any way to redistribute a share of their
profits.
These countries scored a victory with the signing of the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1992 and the
TRIPS agreement in 1995. Genetic resources now come under
the control of sovereign countries, and some property rights can
be recognized to the indigenous communities on the resources
that they have been conserving from generation to generation.
States are now required to organize these “collective intellectual
property rights” in such a way that any local resource conserved
in this manner will generate dividends for these populations when
used by multinational firms.
The now well-known concept of Access to Genetic
Resources and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) emerged in the second half
of the 1990s. Their aim was to organize a biological diversity
marketplace capable of enhancing the value of the genetic
resources of countries of the South, which cannot refuse access to
these resources. In addition, these countries can now claim a
share of the profits that may result from their use.
In short, the change in the status of genetic resources from
common heritage of mankind to a good that can be owned under
national sovereignty took place in the early 1990s at the request
of countries of the South and to their benefit, and the ABS
mechanism is a fine example of intellectual property rights set up
in the interest of the people of these countries.
In a general sense, this analysis is fairly accurate and
could constitute an argument to be used against those who are of
the opinion that the spread of intellectual property rights is an
obstacle to the development of the South. However, the issue
today is whether the South gained anything by playing this card.
In answering this question, it is important to more clearly
emphasize the deep connection—often overlooked—between the
conservation of genetic resources and their practical use.

Agriculture and fisheries are closely linked to climate,
making them vulnerable to changes in temperature, CO2 levels,
and extreme weather. While increased temperature and CO2 can
enhance some crop yields, this depends on factors like nutrient
levels, soil moisture, and water availability. More frequent
droughts and floods could challenge food production and safety,
while warming waters may shift fish habitats, disrupting
ecosystems. Overall, climate change may complicate traditional
methods of farming, livestock raising, and fishing.
Crop responses to temperature changes depend on each
crop's optimal growth temperature. Warmer conditions might
benefit certain crops or enable the cultivation of new ones, but
yields decline if temperatures exceed a crop's threshold.
Increased CO2 can enhance plant growth under controlled
conditions but may be offset by water, nutrient, and temperature
constraints. Additionally, elevated CO2 reduces the protein and
nitrogen content in crops like soybeans and alfalfa, lowering their
quality and diminishing the forage value for livestock.
Extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, can
harm crops and reduce yields. For example, high nighttime
temperatures in 2010 and 2012 lowered U.S. corn yields, while
premature budding caused $ 220 million in losses for Michigan
cherries in 2012. Rising summer temperatures may also dry soils,
complicating drought management. Increased irrigation could
help, but reduced water availability might limit its feasibility.
Climate change also favors weeds, pests, and fungi, which
thrive in warmer, wetter conditions with higher CO2 levels. This
could expose crops to new threats and increase farming costs.
U.S. farmers already spend over $ 11 billion annually on weed
control, and these challenges are likely to grow as weed and pest
ranges expand.
While rising CO2 stimulates plant growth, it also lowers
the nutritional value of major crops like wheat, rice, and
soybeans by reducing their protein and mineral content. This
poses a potential risk to human health. Additionally, increased
pest pressure may lead to higher pesticide use, further impacting
health and reducing pesticide effectiveness. Climate change,
therefore, presents multifaceted challenges to food production,
nutrition, and ecosystems.

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.

Should schools just say no to pupils using phones?
14th July 2024
Natalie Grice – BBC News
“I wouldn’t say it’s a good thing for a child never to have a smartphone. I think it’s part of a balanced life. You’ve got to live in your own time.”
These are not the words you might expect to hear from a teacher at a school that has never in its history allowed pupils under sixth form age to use a mobile phone on the premises.
But Sarah Owen, deputy head at Stanwell School in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, was simply expressing a personal opinion, rather than the school’s view about a young person’s wider life.
It is clear that she and the school have very firm opinions on what is best for children while they are on school grounds.
For Stanwell pupils in years 7 to 11, that has always meant no phones. Not in lessons, not in the corridor, not at breaktimes.
It is such a long-established rule that it presumably comes as no surprise to pupils and parents when they join the school, which is starting to seem as if it may have been ahead of a growing curve.
In the past few years, a number of schools across Wales and further afield have introduced total bans on mobiles. While Stanwell only asks pupils to keep phones switched off in their bags, others require the devices to be handed in at the start of the day.
Llanidloes High School in Powys is one which has implemented this policy in the past few years and Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, followed suit at the start of this year.
Sarah Owen has been at Stanwell School since 2000 and says that there has always been a no phone policy in the school. For Sarah, it is a question not of trying to impinge on their students’ freedom, but of giving them vital time away from mobile life, for welfare as well as educational reasons.
“We genuinely believe this is in their best interests,” she said. “Phone addiction and screen addiction and scrolling, the loss of concentration, the loss of soft skills around listening and interacting with others, that’s something we need to be concerned about as a society generally.”
“We want children to be interacting with each other, having conversations, playing football, having those connections and interactions with other people.”
Sarah also believes it gives pupils relief from the possibility of being “photographed, filmed, mocked in some way – that’s not a nice way for children to live”. She said she wanted her pupils to have “some sanctuary from the anxiety of feeling so scrutinised and looked at”.
