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.

Hypatia (born c. 355 CE—died March 415,
Alexandria) was a mathematician, astronomer, and
philosopher who lived in a very turbulent era in Alexandria’s
history. She is the earliest female mathematician of whose
life and work reasonably detailed knowledge exists. Hypatia
was the daughter of Theon of Alexandria, himself a
mathematician and astronomer and the last attested
member of the Alexandrian Museum. Hypatia continued his
program, which was essentially a determined effort to
preserve the Greek mathematical and astronomical heritage
in (1) extremely difficult times. She is credited with
commentaries on geometry, number theory, as well as an
(2) astronomical table. These works, the only ones she is
listed as having written, have been lost, although there have
been attempts to (3) reconstruct aspects of them. She was,
in her time, the world’s leading mathematician and
astronomer, the only woman for (4) whom such claim can be
made.
She was also a popular teacher and lecturer on
philosophical topics of a less-specialist nature, attracting
many loyal students and large audiences. Her philosophy
was Neoplatonist and was thus seen as “pagan” at a time of
bitter religious conflict between Christians (both orthodox
and “heretical”), Jews, and pagans. Her philosophy also led
her to embrace a life of dedicated virginity.
The climate of tolerance lapsed, and shortly
afterward Hypatia became the victim of a particularly brutal
murder at the hands of a gang of Christian zealots.
The affair
made Hypatia a powerful feminist symbol and a figure of
affirmation for intellectual endeavor in the face of ignorant
prejudice. Her intellectual accomplishments alone were
quite ______ to merit the preservation and respect of her
name, but, sadly, the manner of her death added to it an
even greater emphasis.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
reports that once water is contaminated, it is difficult, costly,
and often impossible to remove the pollutants. Currently, 80%
of global wastewater goes untreated, and is contaminated by
a wide range of substances, from human waste to highly toxic
industrial discharges. The type and amount of pollutants in
freshwater determines its suitability for human uses such as
drinking, bathing, and agriculture.
Pollution of freshwater ecosystems can also impact the
habitat and quality of life of fish and other wildlife. This can
include pathogens (largely from human and animal waste),
organic matter (including nutrients from agricultural run-off
such as nitrogen or phosphorus), chemical pollution (from
irrigation, domestic wastewater and runoff of mines into
rivers) and salinity. Plastics, and chemicals of emerging
concern, such as certain pharmaceutical products, are issues
for which their extent and impacts on freshwater are largely
unknown. A preliminary assessment of water quality in rivers
in Latin America, Africa and Asia, “A Snapshot of the World’s
Water Quality” (Ringler, et al., 2016), estimated that severe
pathogenic pollution affects around one third of all rivers,
severe organic pollution around one seventh of all rivers, and
severe and moderate salinity pollution around one-tenth of all
rivers in these regions.

What Was the First Book Ever Written?
By The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
The Epic of Gilgamesh, from ancient Mesopotamia, is often cited as the first great literary
composition, although some shorter have survived that are even earlier (notably the “Kesh Temple
Hymn” and “The Instructions of Shuruppak”). Apart from its length, the Epic of Gilgamesh may be
considered the earliest significant composition because of its enduring impact on literature through
the ages. It is believed to have influenced other ancient literary works, including the Iliad, the
Odyssey, Alexander romance literature, and the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), all of which continue
to have significant literary impact in their own right.

'Blitz' review: In wartime London, a family's search for sanity
Adam Graham
By Detroit News Film Critic
A mother and her son are separated in wartime London in "Blitz," director Steve McQueen's drama
about clinging onto hope in the middle of chaos.
British actress Saoirse Ronan is Rita, who has to say goodbye to her son George (newcomer Elliott
Heffernan, in his first role), who joins the thousands of children who are sent by train to live in the
English countryside as Germany throws bombs on London during World War II.
Their parting is tense. "Don't forget to be a good boy," she tells him, all love. "I hate you," George
replies. The boy, who is bi-racial and never knew his father, is scared by the situation and terrified
to be on his own.
Midway into his journey, he jumps off the train to make his way back to London on foot. He ends up
in a series of mini-adventures that play out like chapters in a Charles Dickens novel.
Director McQueen efficiently identifies beauty even in the darkest of spaces, whether in a subway
station where people are taking cover from air raids, or in the neighborhoods destroyed by bombs.
For McQueen, the diversity of London is a constant issue in the film as is the prevalence of racism.
"Blitz" is a story of struggle and never giving up in the face of imminent doom.
