Read the following text and answer question.
Introduction to global food loss and food waste
Food losses and food waste are quickly becoming a top global issue, because while there are millions of families with children starving, others are living in abundance, with many others carelessly throwing food away. Many of us have wasted food in one way or the other, but the real food losses and waste matter is ______ than just consumer food waste.
From farming fields and storage places, through transportation, processing, market places, down to
consumption places such as homes, schools, restaurants and workplaces, more than half of all food
produced globally go to waste. This is a tragedy!
In developing countries, it takes a lot of man-power to produce food. In more advanced countries, machines and technology are used, but the drain on energy, destruction of vegetative lands, the use of chemicals and ______ impact on the environment are phenomenal. Putting all that together, it is clear that a major problem has emerged and we are all in a position to help in one way or the other.

The defenders of Normandy were not the best of

in France, but on the other side of the Seine, the Pas-de-Calais, which the Germans thought the more likely invasion target. (Extracted from Time– June 6, 1994) – O pronome demonstrativo "those" faz referência aos:

Is ‘Facebook’, the social networking website, making us narcissist? A new book argues we are much more
self-absorbed nowadays, stating that technology is to
blame. I tweet, therefore I am. Or is it, I tweet, therefore
I am insufferable? As if adult celebrities that pop out on
the red carpets were not clue enough, we now have
statistical evidence that we are a lot more in love with
ourselves than we used to be. This social phenomenon
has raised fields of research to academic studies
nowadays. In the book ‘The Narcissism Epidemic:
Living in the Age of Entitlement’, Jean M. Twenge, a
professor of psychology at San Diego State University,
and W. Keith Campbell, a social psychologist at the
University of Georgia, look to the Narcissistic
Personality Inventory, which measures self-regard, materialism, and lack of empathy. They found that the
number of college students scoring high on the test has
risen by 30 percent since the early 1980’s.
What kind of human behavior is central to the study
mentioned in the text?

QUESTION
Technological change – from consumers to producers
Chris Pim
Over the last 20 years, there has been a tremendous shift in the way that users integrate technology into their personal lives. These changes have taken time to filter down into the educational sector, but slowly teachers have realised the need to adapt their practice in order to reflect the changing nature of technological use in the wider world.
In the past, technology has predominately been used to source and consume information, whereas today‟s learners have become particularly adept at creating and collaboratively developing content for a wide variety of purposes, for example so-called Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, forums and wikis. Moreover, children and young people are now becoming increasingly interested in the concept of „content curation‟ –selecting, sifting, showcasing and sharing content with friends, family and peers.
The change from a „read Web‟ to a „read/write Web‟ has encouraged teachers to become increasingly inventive in their approach to engaging technologically savvy learners who want to publish their work within an ever expanding arena.

Using authentic material from the real
world to teach English
STEFFANIE ZAZULAK
There are lots of resources available to
English language teachers today: from
textbooks to online teaching tools, they can
all aid and enrich English lessons. Many
teachers also introduce authentic English
material into their lessons to expose learners
to the language as it is spoken in the real
world.
Authentic material is any material written in
English that was not created for intentional
use in the English language classroom. Using
this content to teach the English language
can make the learning process even more
engaging, imaginative and motivating for students. It can also be useful to elicit
genuine responses from learners.
The great thing about using authentic
material is that it is everywhere, which makes
it easy to find, and simple for learners to
practice English in their own time. Remember
that it isn‟t limited to articles from newspapers
and magazines. Songs, TV programs and
films, radio and podcasts, leaflets, menus –
anything written in English constitutes
authentic material.

TEACHING GRAMMAR IN THE POST
COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH ERA
D I A N A B A U D U C C O
Grammar. To teach or not to teach? This
has been the question that language teachers
have asked themselves for ages. It has been
a matter of debate for teachers, linguists and
second language acquisition experts.
Historically, language teaching approaches
and methods have moved from one extreme
of the spectrum to another as regards the
explicit teaching of grammar. Long before our
times, grammar was at the centre of language
teaching, as it was believed that the study of
the grammar of X‟s language was the best
way to its mastery. So, from medieval times
till around the 1970s, the fixation of language
teaching on the study and description of
structures manifested in approaches such as
the Grammar Translation and the Audio
Lingual method, with short interludes of the
other approaches such as the Direct Method,
Total Physical Response and the Silent way
which although claiming to differ still based
their syllabus on grammar points.
From the Grammar-dominated end of the
spectrum, we moved to the Absolutely-noGrammar end. Grammar based approaches
proved inadequate in that students were
unable to communicate outside the
classroom. Based mainly on Hymes‟
“communicative competence” and Krashen‟s
models of language acquisition, the
Communicative Approach emerged as the
meaning-focused alternative to the formfocused approaches of the past. Strong
versions of the approach emphasized the
teaching of functions and absolutely
discouraged the teaching of grammar structures arguing that communication – and
not language description- was the aim of
language teaching.
However, the studies of the last 30 years
have proved that the lack of grammar
instruction has not encouraged language
acquisition. On the contrary, more recent
studies show that grammar instruction and
explicit knowledge of the target language do
have positive effects on language acquisition.
So, how should we approach the teaching of
Grammar in the Post- CommunicativeApproach Era?

TEXT:
After so long a pause that Marcia felt sure whoever it was
must have gone away, the front doorbell rang again, a
courteously brief ‘still waiting.’
It would be a neighbor child on the way home from school
with a handful of basketball tickets. Or an agent tardily
taking orders for cheap and gaudy Christmas cards.
The trip down to the door would be laborious. Doctor
Bowen had wanted her to avoid the stairs as much
as possible from now on. But the diffident summons
sounded very plaintive in its competition with the savage
swish of sleet against the windows.
Raising herself heavily on her elbows, Marcia tried to
squeeze a prompt decision out of her tousled blonde head
with the tips of slim fingers. The mirror of the vanity table
ventured a comforting comment on the girlish cornflower
fringe that Paul always said brought out the blue in her
eyes. She pressed her palms hard on the yellow curls,
debating whether to make the effort. In any event she
would have to go down soon, for the luncheon table was
standing exactly as they had left it, and Paul would be
returning in half an hour.
Edging clumsily to the side of the bed, she sat up,
momentarily swept with vertigo, and fumbled with her
stockinged toes for the shapeless slippers in which she
had awkwardly paddled about through two previous
campaigns in behalf of humanity’s perpetuity. When
done with them, this time, Marcia expected to throw the
slippers away.
Roberta eagerly reached up both chubby arms and
bounced ecstatically at the approach of the outstretched
hands. Wellie scrambled up out of his blocks and
detonated an ominously sloppy sneeze.
Marcia said “Please don’t tell me you’ve been taking cold
again.”
Wellie denied the accusation with a vigorous shake of
his head, whooped hoarsely, and began slowly pacing
the intermittent clatter of their procession down he dingy
stairway, the flat of his small hand squeaking on the cold
rail of the ugly yellow banister.
The bulky figure of a woman was silhouetted on the
frosted glass panels of the street door. Wellie, with a
wobbly index finger in his nose, halted to reconnoiter as
they neared the bottom of the stairs, and his mother gave
him a gentle push forward. They were in the front hall
now, Marcia irresolutely considering whether to brave the
blizzard. Wallie decided this matter by inquiring who it
was in a penetrating treble, reinforcing his desire to know
by twisting the knob with ineffective hands. Marcia shifted
Roberta into the crook of her other arm and opened the
door to a breath-taking swirl of stinging snow, the first real
storm of the season.

The bottleneck that is easy to cope................................. is stationary. Work-in-process inventory piles..................... quickly behind it; clearly, little is getting through. Its cause is usually also clear – a machine has broken........................ or key workers are absent or demand has simply outstripped the clear, rated capacity of a machine – and the remedy follows easily. Such bottlenecks often occur........................ service operations, causing customer waits.
More subtle are bottlenecks that shift from one part of the process to another or that have no clear cause. Inventories build up in different places and at different times. Such bottlenecks creep up on management and demand more thorough investigation. Perhaps they were detected as flaws in a product’s quality caused inadvertently by one or more workers trying to keep pace with production demands that should not have been placed on them. Or, they may be caused by missing parts. They may be caused by new product startup or changes in the mix of products through the factory. In such cases the remedies are less clear-cut, and some analysis is called for.
