The use of high-stakes language tests
English’s rise as an international language has been accompanied by an increase in emphasis on English language education in
traditionally EFL setting. Learners worldwide are often accustomed to taking mandatory English language classes within their national
school systems, and assessing practices used within these educational systems are often positioned as gatekeepers for further educational progression. In Japan, for example, English is compulsory for all students, and is often the only foreign language taught in school.
Success in English language tests in high school directly impacts learners’ access to higher education due to the fact that English tests
make up a large component of junior high school, high school, and university entrance examinations. Upon entering university,
undergraduate students take at least two years of English classes, even in unrelated majors. In China, English education is compulsory
in primary schools from Grade 3, although many schools start earlier than this. Like Japan, it’s also compulsory in most Chinese colleges
and universities for the first two years, and the College English Test is becoming an increasingly predominant measure of success in
these programs, with some universities requiring it for graduation. South Korea also tests English in the national College Scholastic
Ability Test (CSAT), which is necessary to enter South Korean universities. Neighboring countries in Asia are also starting to follow suit;
in Vietnam, over 90 percent of children are engaged in English language study, and it is compulsory in most secondary schools, where
all students must pass an English test in order to graduate. Similar situations can be found across Europe and Latin America. In Italy, for
example, English language has been promoted in educational policy that encourages Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL),
where students are taught subjects such as history, mathematics, sciences and sport through English. Thus English knowledge not only
affects performance on language tests but also the teaching of other subjects of study.

I have always quite irrationally prided myself on my good health, for I have only occasionally had to take
a day off work when I have had a cold.
So I was quite offended by my doctor who, when we ran into each other in the street one day, took
one look at me and told me that I was definitely overweight and that if I did not make an effort to lose some
weight, I could expect to have a heart attack before very long. He added that, like many middle-aged men,
I led a completely sedentary life: I sat behind my office desk during the day and relaxed in my armchair in
the evening with my eyes firmly fixed on the television set.
It was true that I had been getting fatter, but this had not worried me much, for I simply attributed
it to the fact that I was getting older.
My doctor advised me to go on a diet immediately, so I tried cutting down on fattening foods, such as potatoes and butter, but without any visible signs of success, for my trouble is that I am very fond of my
food and besides, my wife is an excellent cook. I then decided that it was all a question of exercise, and for
this year’s holiday, I was determined to go somewhere which was conducive to taking exercise and not to
our usual seaside resort, where one is tempted to simply go down to the beach and lie in the sun. (In other
words – L.G. Alexander and Catherine Wilson).

Read the poem I too below to answer QUESTION.
I, Too
Langston Hughes - 1901-1967
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed —
I, too, am America.

Education
Education encompasses both the teaching and learning of knowledge, proper conduct, and technical competency. It thus focuses on the cultivation of skills, trades or professions, as well as mental, moral & aesthetic development.
Formal education consists of systematic instruction, teaching and training by professional teachers. This consists of the application of pedagogy and the development of curricula.
The right to education is a fundamental human right. Since 1952, Article 2 of the first Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights obliges all signatory parties to guarantee the right to education. At world level, the United Nations’ International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 guarantees this right under its Article 13.
Educational systems are established to provide education and training, often for children and the young. A curriculum defines what students should know, understand and be able to do as the result of education. A teaching profession delivers teaching which enables learning, and a system of policies, regulations, examinations, structures and funding enables teachers to teach to the best of their abilities.
Primary (or elementary) education consists of the first
years of formal, structured education. In general, primary education consists of six or seven years of schooling starting at the age of 5 or 6, although this varies
between, and sometimes within, countries. Globally,
around 70% of primary-age children are enrolled in
primary education, and this proportion is rising.
In most contemporary educational systems of the world, secondary education consists of the second years of formal education that occur during adolescence. It is characterized by transition from the typically compulsory, comprehensive primary education for minors, to the optional, selective tertiary, “post-secondary”, or “higher” education (e.g., university, vocational school) for adults.
Higher education, also called tertiary, third stage, or
post secondary education, is the non-compulsory
educational level that follows the completion of a
school providing a secondary education, such as a
high school or secondary school. Tertiary education is
normally taken to include undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as vocational education and
training. Colleges and universities are the main institutions that provide tertiary education. Collectively,
these are sometimes known as tertiary institutions.
Tertiary education generally results in the receipt of
certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees.
In the following sentence:
’Globally, around 70% of primary-age children are enrolled in primary education, and this proportion is rising.’
the underlined words are, respectively:
’Globally, around 70% of primary-age children are enrolled in primary education, and this proportion is rising.’

Leia o texto e responda a questão.
The Christmas Anti-drink drive campaign is in full
swing, but there will always be those who think they
can get away with it. Beyond the points, the driving
ban and the criminal record, how do those caught
handle the shame? Another Christmas, another
warning about getting behind the wheel while under
the influence of alcohol.
The theme of the 2019 campaign is that a conviction
can ruin a driver´s life. “That is could come between
you and Christmas” is the slogan. The criminal
record and driving ban are automatic and for those
who rely on their cars that can be punishment
enough. But what about the stigma and the shame?
Mary, a 27-year-old care co-ordinator from Torquay
in Devon, found that being convicted even affected
her relationship whit her mother. “She made me feel
really, really bad. She didn’t want to see me and
shut the door in my face and told me to go away.
That was the worst feeling ever.”
Mary, which is not her real name, says the incident
that changed her life came at the end of a “rubbish”
day at work last year, close to the anniversary of her
grandmother’s death. She began drinking a bottle
of wine at home and then went into town to continue
drinking, but on the way she hit a parked car, failed
a breath test and spent a night in a police cell. “That
was lonely and horrendous. You feel very bad about
yourself,” she says.
Lessons
“It gives you time to things over and how you could
have killed someone. You feel embarrassed
because you don’t think you could even end up in a
cell.”
She was given a £300 fine and a 16-month driving
ban. The ban was reduced to a year because she
signed up a course with the Devon Driving Course
lrun by Devon County Council, which aims to
educate drink-drivers about their crime.
The court meant she had to tell her parents the truth
and endure her mother’s cold shoulder, having
previously told her the accident had not been fault.
I don´t want people to make the same mistake as I
did. People’s silence and looks on the faces says it
all. It makes you never want to do anything so
stupid again”.
She learnt many things from the £145 course but
among them was the fact her shame, criminal
record and costs could have been avoided had she
paid £ 20 for a taxi.

Why Joe Biden Saw Mixed Success With Latinos
Democrats' long-term hopes for electoral success have
long cited the growing Latino population in the country. But
former Vice President Joe Biden's performance in heavily Latino
areas of key states has concerned members of his party — and
may have cost him Electoral College votes, according to groups
and activists working to mobilize Latino voters.
Nationally, Biden appears to have gotten support from
roughly twice as many Latino voters as President Trump, but that
support looked very different depending on where you looked in
three key states with large Latino populations.
Democrats were pleased with their performance in
Arizona, where The Associated Press awarded Biden the state's
11 electoral votes early Wednesday morning, while anxiety ran
high about the results in Florida, where President Trump's
strength with conservative Cuban American voters helped secure
him that state's 29 electoral votes, according to AP. And while
Texas was a long shot for Biden, Democrats had seen
opportunity in the explosive growth in the state's Latino
population.
During a post-election virtual press conference on
Wednesday, leaders from groups aimed at mobilizing Latino
voters expressed frustration that the votes of Latinos were not
more aggressively pursued, even as they cheered record levels of
turnout among Latinos in some key states.
Internet: <www.npr.org> (adapted)
The excerpt "...leaders from groups aimed at mobilizing Latino
voters..." has an example of a gerund. Gerunds can be used as the
subject or object of a sentence. Another example of a gerund can
be found in the sentence:
