Think your world view is fixed? Learn another language and you’ll think differently
Bilinguals get all the advantages. Better job prospects, cognitive improvement, and even protection against dementia. Now new research shows that they can also view the world in different ways depending on the language they are operating in.
In the past fifteen years there has been an overwhelming amount of research on the bilingual mind, with the majority of the evidence pointing to the tangible advantages of using more than one language. Going back and forth between languages appears to be a kind of brain training, pushing your brain to be flexible.
Just as regular exercise gives your body some biological benefits, mentally controlling two or more languages gives your brain cognitive benefits. This mental flexibility pays big dividends especially later in life: the typical signs of cognitive ageing occur later in bilinguals – and the onset of age-related degenerative disorders such as dementia or Alzheimer’s are delayed in bilinguals by up to five years.
People self-report that they feel like a different person when using their different languages and that expressing certain emotions carries different emotional resonance depending on the language they are using.
When judging risk, bilinguals also tend to make more rational, economic decisions in a second language. In contrast to one’s first language, it tends to lack the deep-seated, misleading affective biases that unduly influence how risks and benefits are perceived. So the language you speak in really can affect the way you think.

Donald Trump on Monday proposed collapsing the federal income tax rate from seven brackets down to three and called for allowing child-care expenses to be exempt from taxation in a speech allies hope will help the GOP presidential nominee turn the page on a tumultuous period some Republicans fear has severely damaged his campaign.
Overall, Trump offered few new details behind his economic vision, which he unveiled as a candidate last year. One notable exception was his call to enable families to "fully deduct" child-care expenses from their taxes. Some such expenses are already deductible; experts say that the additional amounts will largely benefit middle- and upper middle-class families.
On tax rates, business mogul said he would work with House Republicans and use the same three brackets they have proposed: 12 percent, 25 percent and 33 percent. Previously, Trump proposed tax brackets of 0 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent and 25 percent.
"For many American workers, their tax rate will be zero," said Trump.
The GOP nominee continued to leave large question marks about how he would pay for his plans and avoid ballooning the federal budget deficit. He included no new details on how he would limit the cost of his tax reform plan, which analysts have estimated would reduce federal revenues by as much as $10 trillion over a decade. His child-care expense plan would presumably raise that cost even further.
Trump released a tax plan last year that would reduce the top income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent and bring down the top corporate rate from 35 percent to 15 percent. The plan would eliminate the estate tax and reduce tax rates to 10 percent for households earning $100,000 or less.
Trump also did not spell out any federal spending cuts. In his remarks, Trump said he would offer more details in the coming weeks.

But the Americans also invented many new words to
describe landscapes, wildlife, vegetation, food and
lifestyles. Different pronunciations of existing words
emerged as new settlers arrived from various parts of
the UK and established settlements scattered along
the East Coast and further inland. After the USA
achieved independence from Great Britain in 1776
any sense of who ‘owned’ and set the ‘correct rules’
for the English Language became increasingly blurred.
Different forces operating in the UK and in the USA
influenced the emerging concept of a Standard
English. The differences are perhaps first officially
promoted in the spelling conventions proposed by
Noah Webster in The American Spelling Book (1786)
and subsequently adopted in his later work, An
American Dictionary of the English Language (1828).
Both of these publications were enormously
successful and established spellings such as center
and color and were therefore major steps towards
scholarly acceptance that British English and American
English were becoming distinct entities.
Influence of Empire
Meanwhile, elsewhere, the British Empire was
expanding dramatically, and during the 1700s British
English established footholds in parts of Africa, in
India, Australia and New Zealand. The colonisation
process in these countries varied. In Australia and
New Zealand, European settlers quickly outnumbered
the indigenous population and so English was
established as the dominant language. In India and
Africa, however, centuries of colonial rule saw English
imposed as an administrative language, spoken as a
mother tongue by colonial settlers from the UK, but in
most cases as a second language by the local
population.
English as a Global Language
For more than half a century, immigrants from the
Indian subcontinent and the West Indies have added
variety and diversity to the rich patchwork of accents
and dialects spoken in the UK. British colonisers
originally exported the language to all four corners of
the globe and migration in the 1950s brought altered
forms of English back to these shores. ___________(1)
that time, especially in urban areas, speakers of Asian
and Caribbean descent have blended their mother
tongue speech patterns with existing local dialects
producing wonderful new varieties of English,
___________(2) London Jamaican or Bradford Asian
English. Standard British English has also been
enriched by an explosion of new terms, such as balti
(a dish invented in the West Midlands and defined by
a word that would refer to a 'bucket' rather than food
to most South Asians outside the UK) and bhangra
(traditional Punjabi music mixed with reggae and hiphop).
The recordings on this site of speakers from minority
ethnic backgrounds include a range of speakers. You
can hear speakers whose speech is heavily influenced
by their racial background, alongside those whose
speech reveals nothing of their family background and
some who are ranged somewhere in between. There
are also a set of audio clips that shed light on some of
the more recognisable features of Asian English and
Caribbean English.
Slang
As with the Anglo-Saxon and Norman settlers of
centuries past, the languages spoken by today’s ethnic
communities have begun to have an impact on the
everyday spoken English of other communities. For
instance, many young people, regardless of their
ethnic background, now use the black slang terms,
nang (‘cool,’) and diss (‘insult’ — from ‘disrespecting’)
or words derived from Hindi and Urdu, such as
chuddies (‘underpants’) or desi (‘typically Asian’).
Many also use the all-purpose tag-question, innit — as
in statements such as you’re weird, innit. This feature
has been variously ascribed to the British Caribbean
community or the British Asian community, although
it is also part of a more native British tradition - in
dialects in the West Country and Wales, for instance
— which might explain why it appears to have spread
so rapidly among young speakers everywhere.
Original influences from overseas
The English Language can be traced back to the
mixture of Anglo-Saxon dialects that came to these
shores 1500 years ago. Since then it has been played
with, altered and transported around the world in
many different forms. The language we now recognise
as English first became the dominant language in
Great Britain during the Middle Ages, and in Ireland
during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. From
there it has been exported in the mouths of colonists
and settlers to all four corners of the globe.
‘International English’, ‘World English’ or ‘Global
English’ are terms used to describe a type of ‘General
English’ that has, over the course of the twentieth
century, become a worldwide means of
communication.
American English
The first permanent English-speaking colony was
established in North America in the early 1600s. The
Americans soon developed a form of English that
differed in a number of ways from the language
spoken back in The British Isles. In some cases older
forms were retained — the way most Americans
pronounce the sound after a vowel in words like
start, north, nurse and letter is probably very similar
to pronunciation in 17th century England. Similarly,
the distinction between past tense got and past
participle gotten still exists in American English but
has been lost in most dialects of the UK.
English around the world
Like American English, English in Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa has evolved such that they
are distinct from British English. However, cultural
and political ties have meant that until relatively
recently British English has acted as the benchmark
for representing ‘standardised’ English — spelling
tends to adhere to British English conventions, for
instance. Elsewhere in Africa and on the Indian
subcontinent, English is still used as an official
language in several countries, even though these
countries are independent of British rule. However,
English remains very much a second language for
most people, used in administration, education and
government and as a means of communicating
between speakers of diverse languages. As with most
of the Commonwealth, British English is the model on
which, for instance, Indian English or Nigerian English
is based. In the Caribbean and especially in Canada,
however, historical links with the UK compete with
geographical, cultural and economic ties with the USA,
so that some aspects of the local varieties of English
follow British norms and others reflect US usage.
An international language
English is also hugely important as an international
language and plays an important part even in
countries where the UK has historically had little
influence. It is learnt as the principal foreign language
in most schools in Western Europe. It is also an
essential part of the curriculum in far-flung places like
Japan and South Korea, and is increasingly seen as
desirable by millions of speakers in China. Prior to
WWII, most teaching of English as a foreign language
used British English as its model, and textbooks and
other educational resources were produced here in
the UK for use overseas. This reflected the UK's
cultural dominance and its perceived ‘ownership’ of
the English Language. Since 1945, however, the
increasing economic power of the USA and its
unrivalled influence in popular culture has meant that American English has become the reference point for
learners of English in places like Japan and even to a
certain extent in some European countries. British
English remains the model in most Commonwealth
countries where English is learnt as a second
language. However, as the history of English has
shown, this situation may not last indefinitely. The
increasing commercial and economic power of
countries like India, for instance, might mean that
Indian English will one day begin to have an impact
beyond its own borders.

Communicative approach
The communicative approach is based on the idea
that learning language successfully comes through
having to communicate real meaning. When learners
are involved in real communication, their natural
strategies for language acquisition will be used, and
this will allow them to learn to use the language.
Example
Practising question forms by asking learners to find
out personal information about their colleagues is an example of the communicative approach, as it
involves meaningful communication.
In the classroom
Classroom activities guided by the communicative
approach are characterised by trying to produce
meaningful and real communication, at all levels. As a
result there may be more emphasis on skills than
systems, lessons are more learner-centred, and there
may be use of authentic materials.

Abaixo são transcritos pequenos trechos de um artigo de autoria de Andy Engel, no original em inglês, sobre os princípios da
construção sustentável, dentre outros, citados na cartilha A3P:
I. Title: “Green Building Basics − Seven principles that make up this important, growing trend”.
II. “Solar orientation is the most important design element. Heating and cooling loads in a home could be cut significantly by
orienting the long walls of houses east-west, exposing south facing windows in winter, and shading them in summer, and
avoiding expanses of glass on west-facing walls that get the full brunt of the flat afternoon sun”.
III. “Similar Energy Star–rated appliances can vary in actual consumption, so go one step further and compare annual energy
use printed on each appliance's label”.
IV. “There are two approaches to improving indoor air quality (IAQ). The first is reducing the use of products that off-gas
[off-gassing from OSB, most forms of particle board, and some carpet and their glues]”.
V. “Simply choosing one product over another is the easiest, yet the least important path to going green. Look for swaps that
take something not as green and replace it with something greener that requires no changes in worker skills”.

Atenção: Para responder à questão, considere o texto abaixo.
The sole proprietor of a plumbing shop was sentenced to 13 months in prison, three years of supervised release for tax evasion and ordered to pay approximately $130,000 in restitution to the IRS. The business owner willfully attempted to evade paying his federal income taxes by skimming gross receipts of his plumbing business and paying personal expenses from his business accounts and claiming them as business expenses.
As part of his tax evasion scheme, he instructed several of his employees to solicit checks from clients payable in his name, rather than in the name of the business. He then cashed these checks and did not deposit the monies into his business’ bank account. Since this money was not recorded on the books of the business, nor deposited into the business’ account, he did not include these gross receipts on his income tax return. He also deducted personal expenses as business expenses thereby substantially reducing his tax for tax years 2003 through 2006.
