English language teachers must explicitly teach reading strategies to help students process texts efficiently. Different reading purposes require different approaches. When students need to find specific information quickly, such as a date, name, price, or particular fact, without reading the entire text, they should employ a particular technique. This strategy involves moving eyes rapidly over the text to locate specific keywords or information, similar to searching for a contact in a phone list. It differs from other strategies like skimming (getting general idea), intensive reading (detailed comprehension), or extensive reading (reading for pleasure). What is this reading strategy called when students search for specific information without reading every word?

Tax rises and benefit cuts are on the horizon as Reeves prepares the UK for a bad-news budget


The UK chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has made it clear that taxes will go up, and more cuts to welfare spending are on the horizon. The moves will be deeply unpopular and controversial − but in an extraordinary press conference ahead of the UK budget on November 26, Reeves made it clear that she believes both will be necessary.

In a highly unusual move, the chancellor used the press conference to set out her priorities for balancing the books while growing the economy. Notably, she did not mention the pledge in Labour's manifesto not to raise taxes on working people or increase national insurance, VAT or income tax.

Instead, she said her focus was on lowering the burden of excessive government borrowing and debt, improving public services and tackling the cost of living.

Reeves gave particular importance to sticking with her "iron-clad" fiscal rules. These, she argued, were essential for showing she is being responsible with the nation's finances and preventing a further rise in the cost of borrowing (the interest the government pays on its debt).

At more than £100 billion per year, this already makes up 10% of all government spending. The government's spending watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), projects the total to rise to £111 billion by the next financial year.

She also emphasised the importance of measures to boost UK productivity. Productivity forecasts are expected to be downgraded by the OBR, heaping yet more pressure on the chancellor's budget choices. Reeves questioned whether the forecast would accurately predict the future − but has accepted that she will have to work within the OBR's constraints in this year's budget.

The chancellor is right that there is a pressing need to boost productivity. But it is by no means certain that planned investment in things like housing, nuclear power and a third runway at Heathrow will yield big gains, at least in the near term.

 At the same time, she made it clear that to meet her budget target there will need to be cuts to public spending. Some cuts will come from more "efficiency" savings by government departments (that perennial option that all chancellors reach for).

But they will also come from tackling the UK's rapidly rising welfare budget, focusing on the large number of young people who are not in education, employment or training but depend on state benefits (so-called "Neets").

Any cuts to the welfare budget, as well as a failure to abolish the two-child benefit limit (although she is under pressure from colleagues to bite the bullet and axe it), will cause dismay within the parliamentary Labour party as well as many party activists.

As ever, the budget choices will be political as well as economic. Both the Conservatives and Reform UK will accuse Labour of breaking its manifesto promises. They will also claim Labour is undermining any chance of growth by raising taxes by a larger amount than any UK government has done in the last 50 years.

 At the same time, it will become even more difficult for Labour to manage its large but fractious parliamentary majority. Earlier this year, backbenchers forced the government to restore the winter fuel payment for some pensioners and abandon plans to cut personal independence payments for disabled claimants.

Local government elections, as well as elections to the Scottish and Welsh parliaments, are looming next May. Reeves risks further alienating Labour's grassroot supporters and pushing them towards smaller left-wing parties such as the Greens. They already seem to be pulling ahead of Labour among younger voters.

The stakes could not be higher. A bad result could even lead to questions about the future of both the chancellor and the prime minister Keir Starmer.

Finally, the chancellor's goal to cut the cost of living for working people does not seem particularly ambitious. Her suggested approach involves cutting energy costs by investing more in electricity generation, and reducing the cost of food by changing the business rates system to help small businesses.

Even if effective, these changes will take some time to work through and may not be enough to convince voters that Labour is on their side − particularly if inflation is not brought under control.

Reeves' appeal to the public to back her long-term approach to sorting out the British economy may be admirable. But the political risks to her personally − and Labour more broadly − remain considerable.

The article presents an argumentative structure where the author analyzes Reeves' budget strategy, provides evidence, and evaluates potential consequences. The text employs cohesive devices such as "At the same time," "As ever," "Finally," and contrastive structures like "But" to connect ideas logically. In teaching argumentative writing in English, particularly for students preparing to write opinion essays or analytical texts about current events, it is essential to focus on thesis statements, supporting evidence, counterarguments, and appropriate linking words. Consider a teacher who wants students to write a 250-word argumentative essay responding to the question: "Should governments prioritize reducing debt over increasing welfare spending?" Which instructional sequence would prepare students for this task?

In authentic spoken English, native speakers use features of connected speech including linking (connecting final consonant sounds to initial vowel sounds), elision (dropping sounds), assimilation (sounds changing when they meet), and weak forms. In the sentence "Reeves gave particular importance to sticking with her iron-clad fiscal rules," native speakers would likely link sounds between words, use weak forms for function words, and potentially reduce certain sounds. Understanding these features is crucial for both listening comprehension and pronunciation teaching. A teacher preparing students for oral communication should address these phenomena. Which approach effectively develops students' ability to understand and produce natural connected speech?

The article uses several idiomatic expressions and collocations that are characteristic of British political and economic discourse. For example: "balancing the books" (managing finances to ensure income matches expenditure), "iron-clad fiscal rules" (extremely firm financial regulations), "bite the bullet" (make a difficult decision), and "the stakes could not be higher" (the consequences are extremely serious). Understanding these expressions is crucial for authentic comprehension of English texts. A teacher planning a lesson on idiomatic expressions from authentic political texts should consider both their literal and figurative meanings, as well as register and context. Which pedagogical approach would effectively help intermediate-level students understand and use such expressions appropriately?

The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach emphasizes meaningful communication and functional language use over mechanical grammar drills. Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), an extension of CLT, organizes instruction around tasks that reflect real-world language use. Using the article about UK budget policy, a teacher could design a task-based lesson where students engage with authentic content. The task cycle typically includes: pre-task (introducing topic and useful language), task (students complete the task in pairs/groups), planning (preparing to report to class), report (presenting findings), analysis (examining language features), and practice (focused work on language forms that emerged). Which lesson design exemplifies task-based principles while using this article?

Text 2 – The Picture of Dorian Gray


The Picture of Dorian Gray, moral fantasy novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde, published in an early form in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in 1890. The novel, the only one written by Wilde, had six additional chapters when it was released as a book in 1891. An archetypal tale of a young man who purchases eternal youth at the expense of his soul, the work is a romantic exposition of Wilde’s own Aestheticism.

The story begins in the art studio of Basil Hallward, who is discussing a current painting with his witty and amoral friend Lord Henry Wotton. Henry thinks that the painting, a portrait of an extraordinarily beautiful young man, should be displayed, but Basil disagrees, fearing that his obsession with the portrait’s subject, Dorian Gray, can be seen in the work. Dorian then arrives, and he is fascinated as Henry explains his belief that one should live life to the fullest by indulging one’s impulses. Henry also points out that beauty and youth are fleeting, and Dorian declares that he would give his soul if the portrait were to grow old and wrinkled while he remained young and handsome. Basil gives the painting to Dorian.
