HOW TO COPE WITH THE SUNDAY
SCARIES
by Chantelle Lee
________(1) Sunday night, and you’re feeling sad and anxious about going back to work in the morning.
Say hello to the Sunday scaries
You’re not alone in your workweek dread: “They’re very, very common,” says Susanne Cooperman, a neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst at New York University Langone Huntington Medical Group. “There’s nothing wrong with a person if they feel sad that the weekend is over. It’s when it really interferes in your functioning—when you can’t focus, when you can’t sleep, when you feel yourself medicating with alcohol—then you need help.”
Here’s why people get the Sunday scaries and the best ways to combat those thoughts of doom and gloom.
__________(2) are the Sunday scaries? The Sunday scaries typically manifest in two ways: feelings of depression that the weekend is ending, feelings of anxiety about the week to come, or both. These feelings typically start on Sunday afternoon.
“It could be that you feel sad and irritable and you have difficulty concentrating and fatigue,”
Cooperman says. That collection of feelings is called anhedonia—basically a loss of enjoyment.
If you feel more dread for the work week ahead, that’s called “anticipatory anxiety,” she says.
Why people get them
The scaries strike for all kinds of reasons. They could be related to work—maybe you’re afraid of losing your job, or you’re dreading going to the office in person, or you’re simply having a hard time unplugging from work after hours, Cooperman says.
Or, she adds, it could also be that you overbooked yourself during the week and feel exhausted by the time Sunday comes around.
How to deal with the Sunday scaries
One of the best ways to deal with the Sunday scaries is to mentally plant yourself firmly in the present. One way to achieve this is to try a mediation or relaxation app, even if it’s only for 10 or 15 minutes, Cooperman says. “I think that’s probably the best out of all the tips: stay in the moment, really try to curtail that catastrophizing into the future,” she says. There are other paths away from the scaries, too: Unplug from your phone or social media, maintain a good work-life balance, do some exercise, or get some fresh air. Make sure to schedule fun activities for Sunday afternoon and evening and do things that reliably make you feel better or help you “refuel [your] batteries,” Cooperman says. Just as important is allowing yourself downtime to relax and unwind, she adds. She also recommends trying to split up errands throughout the week so you don’t feel like you wasted your entire Sunday doing them.
While the Sunday scaries are common, people should keep an eye on how they’re coping come the end of the weekend. “Use healthy, adaptive ways to self-soothe when you’re anxious and have the scaries,” Cooperman says. “A glass of wine is fine, but if it’s more than that and you need it every night, then that’s a problem.” If the scaries are so bad that it’s significantly impacting your life, Cooperman suggests talking about these feelings with a therapist or a psychologist. Some warning signs include being so anxious that it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning, having anxiety attacks, needing alcohol to calm down, not being able to focus or sleep, or failing to enjoy the weekend at all. “If you just can’t get out of that loop where you’re constantly unhappy, then I think you’re at a place where you should see a psychologist or a therapist,” Cooperman says. “Sometimes it’s hard to [deal with it] on your own. It’s good to talk to a professional.”

Question must be answered based on the following poem.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.
—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Question must be answered based on the following passage.
Reports generally use the present tense to describe general truths and factual information. Passive voice is frequently employed to maintain objectivity, and technical vocabulary is preferred to convey precise information.
Adapted from: https://www.pdst.ie/primary/literacy/writing-report-genre

"The laboratory staff measures the chemical concentrations in each solution."
One can say that the most grammatically correct and academically appropriate passive construction for a report is:
Question must be answered based on the following text.
Despite Brazil’s linguistic plurality, the myth of monolingualism persists, delineating a “linguistic territory” conceived as uniform. Language policies have historically been slow to acknowledge the country’s multilingual and plurilingual realities, although instruments such as the National Inventory of Linguistic Diversity (2010) represent notable exceptions.
Adapted from: GUIMARÃES, Felipe Furtado; FINARDI, Kyria Rebeca; CASOTTI, Janayna Bertollo Cozer. Internationalization and language policies in Brazil: what is the relationship? (2019). Available at: https://www.scielo.br/j/rbla/a/7yRjFPFBGHnxFzfrhYWvcJd/?lang=en
In the context of internalization, multilingualism, as a linguistic policy, is most accurately conceptualized as:
Question must be answered based on the following text.
It appears to me to be useful to simplify the descriptive framework and make a two-part distinction: principles and procedures. The term, principles, may be operationally defined as a set of insights derived from theoretical and applied linguistics, cognitive psychology, information sciences, and other allied disciplines that provide theoretical bases for the study of language learning, language planning, and language teaching. The term thus includes not only the theoretical assumptions governing language learning and teaching but also those governing syllabus design, materials production, and evaluation measures. Similarly, procedures may be operationally defined as a set of teaching strategies adopted/adapted by the teacher in order to accomplish the stated and unstated, short- and long-term goals of language learning and teaching in the classroom. Thus, certain elements of Antony’s approach and method, and Richards and Rodgers’ approach and design can be subsumed under principles. Classroom events, activities, or techniques can be covered under procedures. The terms principles and procedures are not new; they are implicit in the literature and are being used widely, though not uniformly or consistently.
Adapted from: KUMARAVADIVELU, B. Understanding language teaching: from method to postmethod. New Jersey/London: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers, 2006.
According to the text, throughout the history of language teaching, the concepts of Approach, Method, and Technique have been defined in different ways by different scholars. Even Kumaravadivelu proposes his own two-part framework. Considering these perspectives and the hierarchical relationship among Approach, Method, and Technique, one can conclude that:
Question must be answered based on the following situation.
You are teaching an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) class for first-year Brazilian Radiology students at a federal institution. The students need to read and comprehend technical articles about imaging techniques, patient care protocols and radiology equipment manuals. Most students are native Portuguese speakers with varying levels of English proficiency. Some struggle with understanding complex technical terms, others with interpreting text structures and summarizing procedures in English. You, as a teacher, aim to design reading tasks to improve their knowledge in the radiology field.
Considering approaches to ESP course design (Hutchinson & Waters (1987); Dudley-Evans & St. John (1998); Fortanet-Gomez & Raisanen (2008), your reading tasks must
