A Better Way to Paint a House
Fall is by far the best time to paint a house in most locations. The cooler, drier weather allows the paint to cure properly and also makes the work more _____________ rather than suffering through the summer heat or spring showers.
Keeping your house painted is the best way to keep issues like rot or termites at bay and should be a regularly scheduled part of your maintenance every 10-20 years depending on your climate and the condition of your paint.
If you let a paint job go too long you run the risk of damage to the underlying structure and increased costs for more involved surface prep. Heavy sanding, scraping and carpentry repairs can be budget busters so keeping your house painted regularly is a time and money saver.

Far from being selfless gestures, giving gifts creates a
personal debt
It would be nice to believe that gifts are genuine
tokens of affection, given without any expectation of
recompense. (Indeed, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
“gift” as something “voluntarily transferred” and “without
compensation.”) But if you’ve ever had the niggling sense
that something other than selflessness drives the presents
you dutifully exchange with friends and family, then
sociology has your back.
Dimitri Mortelmans, sociology professor at
Antwerp University in Belgium, explains that there is far
more to gifting than meets the eye. “Gift-giving is one of
the ancient early topics in sociology,” he says. “There’s a
whole world behind gift-giving that goes very close to the
basics of living together.” Gift giving, after all, is a physical
symbol of a personal relationship and an expression of
social ties that bring individuals together.
Far from being voluntary, the 20th century French
sociologist Marcel Mauss argues that presents are tied up
with strict obligations. “To refuse to give, to fail to invite,
just as to refuse to accept, is tantamount to declaring war;
it is to reject the bond of ___________ and ___________,”
he wrote in his 1925 essay “The Gift.” A present is a token
of a relationship and a wish to continue that relationship
and so, in rejecting a gift, the offer of extended friendship
is also rebuffed.
This gift exchange can be summarized by the
Latin phrase: Do Ut des: “I give because I expect you to
give something back.”
We see such attitudes among families and friends,
where each person gives out presents worth roughly the
same price. This behavior is particularly obvious in the
more pressured stakes of a new romantic relationship,
where buying an overly lavish present (or a particularly
stingy one) could send the wrong signal and cause upset.
A gift doesn’t necessarily have to be exchanged
for another gift. “You don’t need to repay the things given
to you in a material way. You can also be nice or perform
some other kind of behavior,” says Mortelmans. So for
example, someone who can’t afford to buy a gift in return
might be especially affectionate or helpful.

In relation to text types and genres, classify the assertions below into true (T) or false (F):
( ) A genre is a type of text, defined by its purpose and intended audience and identified by its format, style and language. An advertisement, a letter, an e-mail and a fairy tale are all examples of genres.
( ) Text types, on the other hand, represent groupings of texts which are similar in linguistic form, irrespective of genre. For instance, Hammond and colleagues (1992) classified the genre recipe as being of the procedure text type, and the genre student essay as being of the expository text type.
( ) Let’s take the ‘genre’ of advertisements for example. The purpose of an advertisement is to persuade the reader to buy something. Therefore, the format is attractive with pictures and few words. The style is direct and persua-sive, and the language uses short, simple sentences with powerful vocabulary.
( ) Teaching genre features do not help set the context for reading but, for writing, knowing genre features provide learners with a starting point and ensure cohesion.
( ) Teachers should use a range of genres and text types that match learners’ age, interests and needs.
Choose the alternative with the correct sequence:

Read the abstract below, analyze the following statements and identify the correct ones:
“This paper discusses some of the assumptions behind the use of the terms international, global, foreign, additional language and lingua franca when referring to English. Such terminology is approached from the angle of the pedagogical praxis surrounding teaching-learning English in Brazilian public schools (GIMENEZ, CALVO & EL KADRI, 2011), based on Derrida’s and Foucault’s thoughts on text and discourse, taken here as our focal point when analyzing such terminology for English language teaching. The connotations attributed to English are analyzed in their occurrence in language policy documents, international academic journals and abstracts of papers presented at a Brazilian teacher’s education conference; the uses of the terms are contrasted with English as a foreign language (EFL), as has been traditionally used in Brazil. KEYWORDS: foreign language, additional language, English, language concept, poststructuralism.” (JORDÃO, Clarissa Menezes. ILA – ILF – ILE – ILG: Quem dá conta? RBLA, v.14, n.1, p.13, 2014)
I- An abstract summarizes, usually in one paragraph of 300 words or less, the major aspects of the entire paper. It is normally followed by a list of keywords.
II- Jordão’s paper aims at discussing the implications of teaching English in Brazil.
III- In Brazil, the term EFL is present in all official documents.

How well can we really get to know someone during a 30-minute activity on the first day of class?”

Agency
“Agency is a term borrowed from social sciences (see for example Taylor 1977, Frankfurt 1988, Belz 2002).
Here it is appropriated to mean something similar to the agent of a passive sentence, that is, in the words
of some grammarians, the person or thing 'that does'. A lot of the time, in some classes, students have
things done to them and, as a result, risk being passive recipients of whatever is being handed down. J
J Wilson suggests that wherever possible students should be allowed to make decisions. He wants to
give students ownership of class materials, letting them write on the board or control the CD player, for
example.
Teachers might allow students to tell us when and if they want to be corrected in a fluency activity rather
than always deciding ourselves when correction is appropriate and when it is not. We might have students
tell us what words they find difficult to pronounce rather than assuming they all have the same
difficulties.”
