Q3890989 Inglês
Although there are no official numbers due to this lack of regulation, it is possible to picture the expansion of bilingual schools based on research data and publishing houses. There are also few projects in public schools. This expansion may be understood once the teaching of English in Brazil has become a booming business and the belief that this language is essential to a successful life is transmitted by the media (Rajagopalan, 2005). It is necessary that (…) researchers problematize and propose reflections on people’s rights and duties involving their participation in the economic, social, and political life of the communities which they are part of and which they may join. For this to be accomplished, there must be a conscientious multilingual education and not just teaching by means of a practice called “elite bilingual education” reinforcing its “elite” nature. (…) We observed that although heteroglossic views of language have been an important notion discussed at universities in order to rethink the teaching of language and the type of bilingual education provided in Brazil, these discussions do not reach the schools which continue to adopt monolingual views of language in their practices and policies.

Based on the excerpt above, which difficulties persist in the development of bilingual education in Brazil?

Q3890988 Inglês
(…) In some cases, the interest in a prestigious bilingualism arose from a desire by some countries to benefit economically, politically, and culturally from the straightforward participation in the global network that has been built through the use of English (Gardner, 2012). On the other hand, it is also accomplished as an answer to world multilingualism, generating the possibility of participation in intercultural actions in different languages and different cultural experiences (García & Flores, 2012). Therefore, this means the creation of a kind of education that, in a significant way, not only includes apprentices but also opens space for them to act and participate through various language practices (García & Flores, 2012). With the learning experience within a bilingual education context, students may increase their cultural awareness both in the culture(s) of origin, and in the culture of the additional language, have a different way of looking at things, build tolerance towards linguistic and cultural groups, value human diversity, and constitute themselves with hybrid identities (Canclini, 2011).

Read the excerpt above and decide if the information below is True (T) or False (F). Then choose the correct alternative below.

I. Some countries’ interest in English is mostly connected to political, cultural, and economic benefits as an attempt to be part of a larger international network.
II. The use of English worldwide is described as one of the strongest tools for the manipulation of soft power that has been developed through bilingual education in Brazil by the elite and against minorities.
III. Students’ agency, empowerment, and interculturality are some of the possible outcomes of bilingual education.
IV. Bilingual education is presented as strengthening students’ original cultural identity, even shielding students from letting in any changes or hybrid influences from Englishspeaking countries.

Q3890987 Inglês
Brazil has always been a multilingual country, although throughout its history it has systematically tried to get rid of its linguistic and cultural diversity or veil it. However, for the last two decades alone, we have witnessed an ideological change that acknowledges and stimulates Brazilian plurilingualism. In this scenario, Liberali and Megale (2011) point out that there are four Brazilian bilingual education proposals: bilingual education with sign language, indigenous bilingual education, bilingual education in multilingual contexts, and elite or prestigious bilingual education whose name was given due to the favorable financial conditions of students who can attend these schools, in them instruction occurs in two languages simultaneously, most commonly English ad Portuguese.

What is correct to affirm about the passage?

        Of all the writers' retreats in all the summer towns in all of New York, he had to walk into hers. As the sun fades on a perfect Montauk night – setting the stage for a first kiss that, like so many of the most resonant moments in Celine Song’s transcendent “Past Lives”, will ultimately be left to the imagination – Nora (Greta Lee) tells Arthur (John Magaro) about the Korean concept of Yin-Yun, which suggests that people are destined to meet one another if their souls have overlapped a certain number of times before. When Arthur asks Nora if she really believes in all that, the Seoul-born woman sitting across from him invitingly replies that it’s just “something Korean people say to seduce someone”. Needless to say, it works.

         But as this delicate yet crushingly beautiful film continues to ripple forward in time – the wet clay of Nora and John’s flirtation hardening into a marriage in the span of a single cut – the very real life they create together can’t help but run parallel to the imagined one that Nora seemed fated to share with the childhood sweetheart she left back in her birth country. She and Hae Sung (“Leto” star Teo Yoo) haven’t seen each other in the flesh since they were in grade school, but the ties between them have never entirely frayed apart.

       On the contrary, they seem to knot together in unexpected ways every 12 years, as Hae Sung orbits back around to his first crush with the cosmic regularity of a comet passing through the sky above. The closer he comes to making contact with Nora, the more heart-stoppingly complicated her relationship with destiny becomes. And with each passing scene in this film – all of them so hushed and sacrosanct that even their most uncertain moments feel as if they’re being repeated like an ancient prayer – it grows easier to appreciate why Nora invoked In-Yun on that seismic Montauk night. Sure, maybe she really was just using it as a pick-up line, knowing that it would give her (neurotically Jewish) future husband the green light that he needed to make a move. But then again, what could possibly be more seductive to a person in this world than the promise of divine providence?

To enhance students’ reading comprehension, the teacher provided four pre-reading questions about the movie review:

● Have you ever heard of cultural concepts from other countries that explain relationships or encounters?
● How do movies or stories from other countries help us understand different cultural beliefs?
● In some cultures, people believe that past experiences or past lives influence the present. Have you encountered this idea in books, movies, or history?
● Do you think knowing about another culture’s beliefs can change the way you interpret a movie or book? Why or why not?

According to National Curricular Parameters (PCNs), “assessment is an integral and intrinsic part of the educational process, going far beyond the traditional view that focuses on external control of the student through grades and marks. The purpose of assessment is to support, guide, and inform pedagogical action, rather than merely to ascertain a student’s level. It is also implied that not only conceptual content is assessed, but procedural and attitudinal aspects as well, going beyond observable outcomes to identify underlying causes. Understood in this way, assessment provides both description and explanation; it is a means of understanding what is achieved and why”.

(Available: https://basenacionalcomum.mec.gov.br/. Access in: September, 2025.)

Carefully review all items and choose the option that includes only statements that are true about assessment according to the PCNs:

I. Student participation in the assessment process is essential to ensure interaction and a plurality of perspectives.
II. Assessment is multiple and necessary for the teacher, the student, the parents, and society.
III. Regarding the affective dimension of assessment, three factors are predominant: the differences between the mother tongue and the foreign language, the dilemma between prioritizing knowledge about the language or the ability to use it, and the choice between rational learning or intuitive learning.
IV. Continuous assessment, using observation as its main instrument and directly involving the student, gives less emphasis to developed and regulated social interactions than, for example, traditional correction does.

All the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Runway Looks From Gigi Hadid and Alex Consani to newcomers like Angel Reese and Barbie Ferreira

(By Sophie Wang — Published: Oct 15, 2025.)


      The Victoria’s Secret fashion show has never been short on familiar faces. Since its inception 30 years ago, the runway has welcomed the biggest names in the world of modeling, from Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, and Gisele Bündchen in the ’90s to Karlie Kloss, Martha Hunt, Lily Aldridge, and the Hadid sisters in the 2010s.
       After a six-year break, the event returned last year under new direction and with a fresh lineup of angels, including Alex Consani, Ashley Graham, and Paloma Elsesser – all of whom returned for the 2025 edition. Joined by veterans and fresh faces alike, the supermodels walked the runway alongside Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Barbara Palvin, and Stella Maxwell, as well as Olympic gymnast Suni Lee and WNBA star Angel Reese, the first professional athletes to get their wings.
        On the performance side, Missy Elliott, Karol G, Madison Beer, and K-pop group Twice made their VS debuts (marking a second consecutive year of all-female performers), joining a list of previous artists like Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, and Harry Styles. Front row, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jodie Turner-Smith joined the celebrations.
