According to Kramsch (2009), literature aids students in their development of an ability to understand the symbolic value of symbolic form and the different cultural memories evoked by different symbolic systems. Additionally, it also helps them draw on the semiotic diversity afforded by multiple languages so that they may reframe ways of seeing familiar events, create alternative realities, and find an appropriate subject position between languages. Considering Kramsch’s position about the use of literature in English classes, analyse the following statements and choose which one(s) is (are) correct:
I - Literature may be an interesting resource in English classes, as long as the teacher applies it to discuss topics familiar to the students. II - Coherent with the intercultural perspective for foreign languages teaching, literature may be considered a useful tool for giving students an opportunity to interact with different cultures and linguistic manifestations. III - Symbolic competence, as proposed by Kramsch, has to do with a sort of critical awareness that the literary text may be of great aid to develop. IV - Symbolic competence refers to the ability to decode linguistic signs.

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.
