READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER QUESTION
The importance of assessing the social and economic impacts of
environmental policies
Policymakers face the challenge of supporting both inclusive and
sustainable economic development and a healthy environment.
While the most desirable policy outcome is one that achieves the
greatest environmental benefits while also advancing socioeconomic goals, it is important for policymakers to fully
understand the possible trade-offs between these objectives. A
better understanding of the broader impacts of environmental
policies is crucial to mitigate their adverse effects on competing
goals, especially as countries are faced with the arduous task of
responding to mounting environmental challenges in economically
turbulent times.
Governments are under pressure to scale up and accelerate their
ambition on climate and environmental goals. But in taking such
action forward, they have to carefully navigate a number of
headwinds. These include the long-term impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on both the economy and society, cost-of-living crisis,
political tensions and geopolitical crises such as the Russian
invasion of Ukraine. Low-income people and the poorest
economies are the hardest hit, primarily due to the steep increases
in the price of energy and food.
The level of environmental policy stringency can have an impact
on a variety of policy outcomes. Empirical research is crucial to
shed light on these interlinkages. Previous research has shown that
more stringent environmental policy has achieved significant
environmental benefits with little aggregate effect on economic
performance. However, localized effects may generate winners
and losers, with significant losses for certain sectors, firms or
individuals and benefits for others. Nonetheless, at present, the
empirical evidence on these distributional aspects is still scarce,
despite its crucial role in supporting good policy design. More than
ever, regulators need better tools and insights to assess the
consequences of environmental policies on the economy and on
social outcomes.

Maintaining good eye contact can show you’re engaged and actively listening to what someone is telling you. However, if you stare too intensely, it can have the opposite effect by making the other person feel too targeted. Pay attention to their response to determine if they feel comfortable.

Read the following text to answer question:
In language teaching and research on language,
the term culture includes many different definitions and
considerations that deal with forms of speech acts, rhetorical
structure of texts, socio-cultural behaviors, and ways in which
knowledge is transmitted and obtained. Culture may find its
manifestations in body language, gestures, concepts of time,
hospitality customs, and even expressions of friendliness.
While all these certainly reflect the cultural norms accepted
in a particular society, the influence of culture on language
use and on the concepts of how language can be taught and
learned is both broader and deeper. To a great extent, the
culture into which one is socialized defines how an individual
sees his or her place in society.
Although attaining linguistic proficiency is essential
for learners to be considered communicatively competent,
particularly in the case of ESL learners, this is not sufficient. On
the whole, to become proficient and effective communicators,
learners need to attain second language (L2) sociocultural
competence. Knowing how to say thank you, for example,
does not automatically confer the knowledge of when to say
thank you, how often to say thank you, and whether any
additional action is called for. Quite reasonably, learners
first apply the standards that exist in the first language (L1)
communities where they were socialized.

Read the following text to answer question:
The Missing Ingredient in Education? Curiosity.
It’s easy to forget how important individual passion is in
education; too often it can feel like it’s a game of just painting
by the numbers. But if we all think about it for a moment,
isn’t learning actually meant to be a joyous experience? If
you think about your own life, haven’t you had an afternoon
fly past because you’ve been gripped by a certain task, a
particular lesson, a specific train of thought? School education
is no different. If we make room for young people’s individual
curiosities, notice and nurture them, we can make learning a
natural experience.
Once we find that individual spark in a child, in many
ways, the hard part is over. They can lead the way with their
learning and they don’t have to be coaxed into it. Curiosity can
be utilized through inquiry-based learning and schools all over
the world are already making the most of this type of learning.
For instance, children are driven to the museums where
they are engaged in stories, games and activities. To develop
curiosity, children identify an exhibit on a particular topic and
are encouraged to ask questions about the exhibits to fill in
the gaps in their own knowledge. Along with utilizing manmade resources such as museums, nature itself has an
important part to play in inquiry-based learning. The world is
full of natural wonders which can spark curiosity in children.
Not only is identifying and encouraging curiosity pivotal
in a child’s educational career, but it will be useful for them in
the working world too. By instilling these behaviours early on
we can help kids to become lifelong learners, which they will
need to be, as single-track careers become an antiquated idea
and we’ll potentially find ourselves working several different
careers within our lifetime. Curiosity may have killed the cat in
decades past, but it could be the key to a more stable future
for the next generation.

Read the following extract to answer question.
A friend of mine who is an orchestral conductor was
asking me (early in our acquaintance) about what I did for
a living. When I told him that apart from other activities, I
wrote books about how to teach English he said ‘Books in
the plural? Surely once you’ve written one, there’s nothing
more to say!’ I wanted to reply that he had just argued himself
out of a job (I mean, how many performances of Beethoven
symphonies have there been in the twenty-first century
alone?), but someone else laughed at his question, another
musician made a different comment, the conversation moved
on, and so Martin-the-conductor’s flippant enquiry evaporated
in the convivial atmosphere of a British pub.
But his question was a good one. Surely we know how
to teach languages? After all, people have been doing it
successfully for two thousand years or more, and some
aspects of teaching in the past have probably not changed
that much. But other things have, and continue to change.
Which is (I suppose) why every time I re-examine past
assumptions about teaching, I find myself questioning and
reinterpreting things I thought were fixed. And of course, I am
not alone in this. We all do it all the time – or at least we do if
we haven’t closed our minds off from the possibility of change
and renewal.
Language teaching, perhaps more than many other
activities, reflects the times it takes place in. Language is
about communication, after all, and perhaps that is why
philosophies and techniques for learning languages seem to
develop and change in tune with the societies which give rise
to them. Teaching and learning are very human activities; they
are social just as much as they are (in our case) linguistic.
But it’s not just society that changes and evolves. The
last decades have seen what feels like unprecedented
technological change. The Internet has seen to that, and
other educational technology has not lagged behind. And it’s
exciting stuff. I’ve tried to reflect that excitement and newness
in parts of this new edition.

successfully for two thousand years or more, and some
aspects of teaching in the past have probably not changed
that much. But other things have, and continue to change.
Which is (I suppose) why every time I re-examine past
assumptions about teaching, I find myself questioning and
reinterpreting things I thought were fixed. And of course, I am
not alone in this. We all do it all the time – or at least we do if
we haven’t closed our minds off from the possibility of change
and renewal.
Language teaching, perhaps more than many other
activities, reflects the times it takes place in. Language is
about communication, after all, and perhaps that is why
philosophies and techniques for learning languages seem to
develop and change in tune with the societies which give rise
to them. Teaching and learning are very human activities; they
are social just as much as they are (in our case) linguistic.
But it’s not just society that changes and evolves. The
last decades have seen what feels like unprecedented
technological change. The Internet has seen to that, and
other educational technology has not lagged behind. And it’s
exciting stuff. I’ve tried to reflect that excitement and newness
in parts of this new edition.

Read the following extract to answer question.
A friend of mine who is an orchestral conductor was
asking me (early in our acquaintance) about what I did for
a living. When I told him that apart from other activities, I
wrote books about how to teach English he said ‘Books in
the plural? Surely once you’ve written one, there’s nothing
more to say!’ I wanted to reply that he had just argued himself
out of a job (I mean, how many performances of Beethoven
symphonies have there been in the twenty-first century
alone?), but someone else laughed at his question, another
musician made a different comment, the conversation moved
on, and so Martin-the-conductor’s flippant enquiry evaporated
in the convivial atmosphere of a British pub.
But his question was a good one. Surely we know how
to teach languages? After all, people have been doing it
successfully for two thousand years or more, and some
