Hi, my name is Rodrigo and today the teacher asked me
to observe the class and tell you all the details. So, here
it goes! My classmate Camille likes pink very much, her
backpack is pink and her pencil case is also pink. Carlos
likes green, his pencil is green. David likes the color
orange, his eraser and his notebook are orange. Luis and
Luana are siblings, their pens are blue. Our chairs are
yellow and our tables are white. My book is red and my
ruler is black. I guess this is all I could observe, thanks for
your attention!

Benefits of a Bilingual Brain
¹ Language ability is typically measured in two active parts, speaking and writing, and two passive parts, listening and reading. While a balanced bilingual has near equal abilities in two languages, most bilinguals around the world know and use their languages in varying proportions. But recent advances in brain imaging technology have given neurolinguists a glimpse into how specific aspects of language learning affect the bilingual brain.
² It's well known that the brain's left hemisphere is more dominant and analytical in logical processes, while the right hemisphere is more active in emotional and social ones, though this is a matter of degree, not an absolute split. The fact that language involves both types of functions has led to the critical period hypothesis. According to this theory, children learn languages more easily because the plasticity of their developing brains lets them use both hemispheres in language acquisition, while in most adults, language is lateralized to one hemisphere, usually the left. If this is true, learning a language in childhood may give you a more holistic grasp of its social and emotional contexts.
³ Conversely, recent research showed that people who learned a second language in adulthood exhibit less emotional bias and a more rational approach when confronting problems in the second language than in their native one. But regardless of when you acquire additional languages, being multilingual gives your brain some remarkable advantages, such as higher density of the grey matter that contains most of your brain's neurons and synapses, and more activity in certain regions when engaging a second language. The strong workout a bilingual brain receives throughout its life can also help delay the onset of diseases, like Alzheimer's and dementia by as much as five years.

I. There are various methods that could help an adult learner acquire a second language, for example communicative language teaching, task based learning or the direct method.
II. The Critical Period Hypothesis described in the ‘Text 3’ explains how children are more likely to learn a second language than an adult learner.

“The teachers are afraid of their pupils”, by Morrisey
There's too many people
Planning your downfall
When your spirit's on trial
These nights can be frightening
Sleep transports sadness
To some other mid-brain
And somebody here
Will not be here next year
So you stand by the board
Full of fear and intention
And, if you think that they're listening
Well, you've got to be joking
Oh, you understand change
And you think it's essential
But when your profession
Is humiliation
Say the wrong word to our children
We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you
Source: The teachers are afraid of their pupils, as sung by
Morrisey, 1995. Available on: https://genius.com/Morrissey-the-teachers-are-afraid-of-the-pupils-lyrics
Examine the following statements about ‘Text 2’:
I. In: "So you stand by the board / full of fear and intention",‘fear’ could be changed to 'self-respect' to match intention,as it introduces the teacher in class.
II. In: "Sleep transports sadness / to some other mid-brain",mid-brain could possibly mean 'to another place'.

In an effort to attract younger Hispanic voters, campaigns
are turning to Spanglish
¹ Mayra Alejandra Rodriguez is used to seamlessly toggling
between Spanish and English in conversation. If she doesn’t
know the Spanish version of a word, she’ll use the English,
and vice versa. The mishmash, known as Spanglish, comes
naturally. Those around her understand her, at least most of
the time.
² The Silver Spring, Md., resident is the kind of young
Hispanic voter attracting increasing attention from political
operatives who advocate that campaigns use the blended
language in advertising and other outreach as the 2024
election cycle accelerates.
³ The language — a portmanteau of English and Spanish that
blends words, grammar and dialects from both tongues — is
growing in popularity in the United States as the country’s
Hispanic population grows. Currently, 19 percent of the U.S.
population identifies as Hispanic, a new high according to the
Pew Research Center, which also found that 63 percent of
Hispanics in the United States speak Spanglish at least
sometimes in their day-to-day life. Forty percent say they
speak it often.
4 Operatives who are urging campaigns to reach young
voters in Spanglish argue that its use not only reflects the
nation’s changing demographics, but is also a way to meet
voters with a lingo that feels more familiar and approachable.

I. According to the text, Spanglish can be used when speakers change from English to Spanish completely in a conversation.
II. It can be inferred from the text that because there are more Hispanic speakers in the U.S now, Spanglish is also becoming more prominent.
III. It is said in the text that the political operatives are interested in the young Hispanic population only, since they want to meet the nation's changing demographics.

Europe’s tourism will most probably have to navigate the travel disruptions experienced last summer in terms of short-staffed airports and accommodation establishments, and soaring travel costs. Nevertheless, the EU has also demonstrated some economic resilience so far in 2023 with lower energy prices, encouraging employment rates, and gradually receding inflation1. However, risks to the tourism outlook remain and are notably stemming from stubbornly high core inflation and uncertainty around the impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine. One in four reporting destinations surpassed pre-pandemic levels of foreign tourist arrivals, including value for money destinations such as Serbia (+27%), Bulgaria (+21%), Montenegro (+12%) and Türkiye (+9%)

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
BRAVE TOT I lasered my baby's face - I was called a
'monster' by trolls, but I don't care... I'd do it again
(1º§)The decision was not one she took lightly but saw
her accused of being a "child abuser" and "monster" by
trolls on social media. The 34-year-old gave birth to little
Kingsley in January 2022 and instantly noticed he had a
maroon birthmark covering the right side of his face.
(2º§)Medically known as port-wine stain birthmarks, they
are linked to conditions like glaucoma, which can cause
blindness, and Sturge-Weber syndrome, an abnormality
of the brain that causes epileptic seizures and stunts
development. Since Kingsley was diagnosed with both,
Brooke and her partner Kewene, 27, made the difficult
decision to get laser treatment __ the tot's face when he
was just five-months-old. "People didn't understand why
we were lasering him at such a young age," she tells
Fabulous. "We received a lot of hate. "Nobody had really
heard of these types of birthmarks and a lot of people
assumed they would just fade over time, like others."
Brooke, from the Gold Coast, Aus, decided to share
Kingsley's story on social media to raise awareness but
was savagely hounded and mum-shamed by trolls. "We
started receiving comments online calling us child
abusers," she says. "That we need to let him decide
when he is older, that our child would hate us when he
gets older. "That we were sick in the head because it was
purely for cosmetic reasons, that we were faking it, that
he looked awful with or without it, that we were exploiting
him. "I was a monster, I was hungry for fame, we were
horrible parents."
(3º§)Brooke used to respond to trolls out of anger but has
now learnt to block them out, confident knowing laser
therapy was the right choice for little Kingsley. She urged
people to remember that not all birthmarks are "just a
birthmark" and can pose serious threats to a baby's
development. Port-wine stain birthmarks often darken,
thicken and develop vascular nodules, which are
susceptible to spontaneous bleeding or haemorrhage.
The increased tissue mass under the soft tissue of the
birthmark can also lead to further disfigurement of the
facial features and leave large growths on the face. As
Kingsley's birthmark was on his face, he was at a higher
risk of these complications. The tot has to have close
ongoing maintenance due to his conditions, including two
laser sessions a year, as there's no cure. He was
diagnosed with glaucoma and Sturge-Weber Syndrome
soon after birth and started experiencing seizures __
epilepsy in October last year.
(4º§)Kingsley has been rushed to A&E ten times already
this year due to seizures, alongside four laser treatments
and four operations on his eyes for glaucoma. At first,
Kingsley had to get laser treatments every month to get
the best clearance before his skin starts getting exposed
__ the sun and ageing. "We were extremely nervous for
his first laser treatment," Brooke recalls. "Even though it
was only two minutes worth of laser, my heart broke for
my darling boy. "Although we knew it was the right thing
to do, it still didn't make it easier."
(5º§)Brooke describes Kingsley as "the happiest, most
loving and sweetest boy you will ever meet" despite the
pain he has endured. Now one-year-old, the tot's
birthmark has been mostly cleared by the laser
treatments but he is still suffering from its complications -
something he will have to live with for his whole life."I
want to help normalise birthmarks and spread as much
awareness as I can," Brooke says. "So uneducated
people can stop the judgement and also make others
aware of what families like mine are going through. "It's
not 'just' a birthmark."

BRAVE TOT I lasered my baby's face - I was called a
'monster' by trolls, but I don't care... I'd do it again
(1º§)The decision was not one she took lightly but saw
her accused of being a "child abuser" and "monster" by
trolls on social media. The 34-year-old gave birth to little
Kingsley in January 2022 and instantly noticed he had a
maroon birthmark covering the right side of his face.
(2º§)Medically known as port-wine stain birthmarks, they
are linked to conditions like glaucoma, which can cause
blindness, and Sturge-Weber syndrome, an abnormality
of the brain that causes epileptic seizures and stunts
development. Since Kingsley was diagnosed with both,
Brooke and her partner Kewene, 27, made the difficult
decision to get laser treatment __ the tot's face when he
was just five-months-old. "People didn't understand why
we were lasering him at such a young age," she tells
Fabulous. "We received a lot of hate. "Nobody had really
heard of these types of birthmarks and a lot of people
assumed they would just fade over time, like others."
Brooke, from the Gold Coast, Aus, decided to share
Kingsley's story on social media to raise awareness but
was savagely hounded and mum-shamed by trolls. "We
started receiving comments online calling us child
abusers," she says. "That we need to let him decide
when he is older, that our child would hate us when he
gets older. "That we were sick in the head because it was
purely for cosmetic reasons, that we were faking it, that
he looked awful with or without it, that we were exploiting
him. "I was a monster, I was hungry for fame, we were
horrible parents."
(3º§)Brooke used to respond to trolls out of anger but has
now learnt to block them out, confident knowing laser
therapy was the right choice for little Kingsley. She urged
people to remember that not all birthmarks are "just a
birthmark" and can pose serious threats to a baby's
development. Port-wine stain birthmarks often darken,
thicken and develop vascular nodules, which are
susceptible to spontaneous bleeding or haemorrhage.
The increased tissue mass under the soft tissue of the
birthmark can also lead to further disfigurement of the
facial features and leave large growths on the face. As
Kingsley's birthmark was on his face, he was at a higher
risk of these complications. The tot has to have close
ongoing maintenance due to his conditions, including two
laser sessions a year, as there's no cure. He was
diagnosed with glaucoma and Sturge-Weber Syndrome
soon after birth and started experiencing seizures __
epilepsy in October last year.
(4º§)Kingsley has been rushed to A&E ten times already
this year due to seizures, alongside four laser treatments
and four operations on his eyes for glaucoma. At first,
Kingsley had to get laser treatments every month to get
the best clearance before his skin starts getting exposed
__ the sun and ageing. "We were extremely nervous for
his first laser treatment," Brooke recalls. "Even though it
was only two minutes worth of laser, my heart broke for
my darling boy. "Although we knew it was the right thing
to do, it still didn't make it easier."
(5º§)Brooke describes Kingsley as "the happiest, most
loving and sweetest boy you will ever meet" despite the
pain he has endured. Now one-year-old, the tot's
birthmark has been mostly cleared by the laser
treatments but he is still suffering from its complications -
something he will have to live with for his whole life."I
want to help normalise birthmarks and spread as much
awareness as I can," Brooke says. "So uneducated
people can stop the judgement and also make others
aware of what families like mine are going through. "It's
not 'just' a birthmark."

Two Teens Volunteering on an Archaeological Dig in
Israel Uncovered Solid-Gold Treasure Buried More
Than 1,000 years ago
The coins date to the Abbasid Caliphate, which ruled
1,100 years ago during the Golden Age of Islam.
A pair of 18-years-olds recently made an unexpected
discovery when they unearthed a cache of 424 rare
golden coins while volunteering at an archaeological dig
conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority. Such a
large amount of gold is, it goes without saying, extremely
valuable; it had been buried inside a clay jar for
safekeeping more than 1,00 years ago.
"I dug in the ground and when I swept away the soil, I
saw what looked like very thin leaves" one of the
teenagers, Oz Cohen, said in a statement. "When I
looked again I saw that they were gold coins. It was really
exciting to find such a special and ancient treasure."
In addition to full dinar gold coins, the hoard also contains
270 smaller fragments, reports Haaretz. In 9th century
Israel, cutting gold and silver coins to make small change
in lieu of cheaper bronze and copper currency that had
become scarce was common practice, according to
Robert Kool, a coin expert with the Israel Antiquities
Authority.
The 24-carat pure gold coins date to the Abbasid period,
around 1,100 years ago. The Abbasid Caliphate was a Muslim dynasty during what is known as the Golden Age
of Islam, ruling over Persia and North Africa from its
capital in Bagdhad.
But the coins also include a fragment of a gold solidus
minted in Constantinople featuring Theophilos, the
Byzantine emperor from 829 to 842 − possible evidence
of trade and cultural exchange between two ancient
empires. It is the only coin of its kind find in Israel to date.
"Finding gold coins, certainly in such a considerable
quantity, its extremely rare, said Liat Nadav-Ziv and Elie
Haddad, who oversaw the dig, in a statement. "The
person who buried this treasure 1,100 years ago must
have expected to retrieve it, and even secured the vessel
with a nail so it would not move."
The Israel Antiquities Authority is keeping the exact
location of the discovery − at a dig conducted ahead of
planned construction in Yavneh, south of Tel Aviv in
central Israel − under wraps to avoid looting from
would-be treasure hunters. The cache weighs 845 grams,
or close to two pounds. By weight alone, that much gold
would be worth $52,618 today.
