Training for the Javelin
The javelin is over 400,000 years old. This long, pointed
stick was first used as a weapon before it became an
integral event in the Olympic Games. Though even as
a sport, it can still cause damage today.
Javelin throwers can become injured because they
often repeat the same action many times during
training or competitions. There is especially a risk of
elbow injury if athletes bend their arms the wrong
way when they throw the javelin. As with all sports, it’s
important to warm up properly before practicing the
javelin.
For people considering taking up this sport, here are
some suggestions for preventing injury:
1. Practice with a professional coach. It’s essential to develop a good technique from the
beginning.
2. Develop healthy eating habits and a good
diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and protein
(chicken or fish). Don’t skip breakfast on the
day of the competition.
3. When competing ___________sports events, plan
the day properly. Competitions can begin ____________the morning, so start your warm up when you
get up. Do exercises for your arms, legs, back,
and neck before you put your gym
clothes and go the stadium.
4. It’s important for athletes to keep their body
temperatures up, so after warming up, it’s best
to wear a tracksuit while waiting for the event
to begin. Sometimes the different parts of the
competitions take place at different times. In
between, keep your throwing arm warm. For
example, wrap a towel around it while you’re
waiting.
5. After the competition, many athletes want
to relax and hang out with their friends, but
don’t finish the competition without cooling
down first. Put ice on the throwing arm for
about a quarter of an hour. This prevents injuries after the event.
6. Finally, don’t practice too much. Only Olympic
athletes need to practice every day. Sports are
for fun. Just enjoy the event.
The English language should be taught in a way
that the integration of the four skills is the key for creating a real communicative situation.
They propose the mixing of __________________and _______________comprehension with __________________and ________________ expression.
Choose the alternative that contains the correct words to complete the sentence.

Text 4A1-II
You know a nun when you see one. The uniform, known
as a habit, is a dead giveaway. But the outfit you’re picturing in
your head might look very different from the one worn by the
sisters at your local convent. And yet, each ensemble’s meaning
is immediately clear. That’s because nuns abide by a sartorial
system that is at once endlessly adaptable and instantly
recognizable.
That’s an impressive feat for any visual system. In the
case of nuns’ habits, that system relies on a standardized
combination of symbolic elements. “It’s really a kit of parts”,
says Lucienne Roberts, cofounder of a British publishing house
devoted to design’s more esoteric subjects. For their latest book,
Looking Good: A Visual Guide to the Nun’s Habit, Roberts
worked with her team to dissect the dress of nuns from some
40 Catholic orders. The result is a fascinating work of reference
on a subject to which you've almost certainly never paid much
mind.
The book begins by cataloguing the various components
that typically comprise a nun's habit. These may include things
like veils, rosaries, tunics, medals, coifs (the cap worn under the
veil), and sandals. It's a collection from which each religious
order draws some, but not all, of its impeccable elements. This
section provides the reader with a visual framework which relies
on simple cues to distinguish between religious families.
For instance, many orders of nuns wear some form of
girdle, be it a belt, a cord, or a cincture. Each type and subtype of
garment carries specific connotations. Franciscan nuns, for
instance, favor a cord over a leather belt, to reflect their order's
devotion to poverty. Its four knots, plainly visible in the book as
an illustration of the Franciscan garb, represent the order's vows
of chastity, poverty, obedience, and enclosure.
These are the kinds of minutiae encoded in the book's
pages, which the authors color code to differentiate between the
various orders. Even the nuns' orientation on the page is
significant; some face towards the reader, while others face
away. This is to distinguish between sisterhoods that are active in
their communities from ones that live cloistered lives,
respectively. The book itself, like the habits it analyzes, is a form
of information design.

The New Rules of Data Privacy
The data harvested from our personal devices, along with our trail of electronic transactions and data from other sources, now provides the foundation for some of the world’s largest companies. […] For the past two decades, the commercial use of personal data has grown in wild-west fashion. But now, because of consumer mistrust, government actions, and competition for customers, those days are quickly coming to an end.
For most of its existence, the data economy was structured around a “digital curtain” designed to obscure the industry’s practices from lawmakers and the public. Data was considered company property and a proprietary secret, even though the data originated from customers’ private behavior. That curtain has since been lifted and a convergence of consumer, government, and market forces are now giving users more control over the data they generate. Instead of serving as a resource that can be freely harvested, countries in every region of the world have begun to treat personal data as an asset owned by individuals and held in trust by firms.
This will be a far better organizing principle for the data economy. Giving individuals more control has the potential to curtail the sector’s worst excesses while generating a new wave of customer-driven innovation, as customers begin to express what sort of personalization and opportunity they want their data to enable. And while Adtech firms in particular will be hardest hit, any firm with substantial troves of customer data will have to make sweeping changes to its practices, particularly large firms such as financial institutions, healthcare firms, utilities, and major manufacturers and retailers.
Leading firms are already adapting to the new reality as it unfolds. The key to this transition — based upon our research on data and trust, and our experience working on this issue with a wide variety of firms— is for companies to reorganize their data operations around the new fundamental rules of consent, insight, and flow.
[…]
Federal lawmakers are moving to curtail the power of big tech. Meanwhile, in 2021 state legislatures proposed or passed at least 27 online privacy bills regulating data markets and protecting personal digital rights. Lawmakers from California to China are implementing legislation that mirrors Europe’s GDPR, while the EU itself has turned its attention to regulating the use of AI. Where once companies were always ahead of regulators, now they struggle to keep up with compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

In a world where many of us are glued to our
smartphones, Dulcie Cowling is something of an anomaly — she
has ditched hers. The 36-year-old decided at the end of last year
that getting rid of her handset would improve her mental health.
So, over Christmas she told her family and friends that she was
switching to an old Nokia phone that could only make and
receive calls and text messages.
She recalls that one of the pivotal moments that led to her
decision was a day at the park with her two boys, aged six and
three: “I was on my mobile at a playground with the kids and I
looked up and every single parent — there was up to 20 — were
looking at their phones, just scrolling away,” she says.
“I thought ‘when did this happen?’. Everyone is missing
out on real life. I don’t think you get to your death bed and think
you should have spent more time on Twitter, or reading articles
online.”
Ms Cowling, who is a creative director at London-based
advertising agency Hell Yeah!, adds that the idea to abandon her
smartphone had built up during the covid-19 lockdowns.
“I thought about how much of my life is spent looking at
the phone and what else could I do. Being constantly connected
to lots of services creates a lot of distractions, and is a lot for the
brain to process.”
She plans to use the time gained from quitting her
smartphone to read and sleep more.
About nine out of 10 people in the UK now own a
smartphone, a figure broadly replicated across the developed
world. And we are glued to them — one recent study found that
the average person spends 4.8 hours a day on their handset.
Yet for a small, but growing number of people, enough is
enough.
Alex Dunedin binned his smartphone two years ago.
“Culturally we have become addicted to these tools,” says the
educational researcher and technology expert. “They are blunting
cognition and impeding productivity.”
He has become happier and more productive since he
stopped using a smartphone, he says.
Mr Dunedin doesn’t even have an old-fashioned mobile
phone or even a landline anymore. He is instead only
electronically contactable via emails to his home computer.
“It has improved my life,” he says. “My thoughts are freed
up from constantly being cognitively connected to a machine that
I need to feed with energy and money. I think that the danger of
technologies is that they are emptying our lives.”
Yet, while some worry about how much time they spend
on their handset, for millions of others they are a godsend.
“More than ever, access to healthcare, education, social
services and often to our friends and family is digital, and the
smartphone is an essential lifeline for people,” says a
spokesperson for UK mobile network Vodafone.
“We also create resources to help people get the most
from their tech, as well as to stay safe when they’re online —
that’s hugely important.”
Suzanne Bearne. The people deciding to ditch their smartphones.
Internet: <www.bbc.com> (adapted).
Considering the previous text, judge the following item.
In the sentence (thirteenth paragraph) “Yet, while some
worry about how much time they spend on their handset, for
millions of others they are a godsend.”, the word “Yet” is
synonymous with However.

Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate
change, we usually think ________________how it is going
to affect humans. However, we need to think about
animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had
no natural enemy apart _______________________man, but is now
under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.
Analyze the words in bold in the sentences
below:
However, we need to think about animals, too ‘…but is now under threat from nature itself.’ ‘Due to exhaustion or stormy weather…’ ‘As a result of all these factors…’
We can infer that the words in bold:
1. They are called discourse markers or linking words, as they help the speaker to manage the conversation and mark when it changes.
2. Discourse markers are words and phrases used in reading to ‘signpost’ discourse.
3. Linking words show us turns, join ideas together, and generally control communication.
4. Discourse markers are referred to more commonly as ‘linking words’ and ‘linking phrases’, or ‘sentence connectors’.
5. They are used more frequently in speech, unless the speech is very formal.
Choose the alternative which contains all the correct affirmatives.

Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming
which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and
features ordinary people rather than professional
actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or
“heightened” documentary. Although the genre has
existed in some form or another since the early years
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates
from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television
programming formats, _____________game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning
programmes produced in Japan _____________ the 1980s and
1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), _____________surveillance-focused productions such __________ Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in
certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other
post-production techniques.
Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability
to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales.
Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also
reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The
Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world
in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed
with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to
describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It
really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.

Teachers sometimes assume that more outgoing learners
will be able to learn pronunciation better than shyer students, and
there may be some truth to this. Confident students might speak
more and be more willing to try new sounds, and this extra
practice could help them improve their pronunciation. However,
this improvement is certainly not guaranteed. Some outgoing
students may be producing a lot of language, but they may also
be jumping ahead without paying attention to the accuracy of
their pronunciation. If listeners are impressed by their fluency
and accept their imperfect pronunciation, they have no way to
know that they need to improve.
Some more introverted students might actually be
thinking carefully about sounds and practicing “within
themselves,” even if they don’t speak much in class. Don’t
underestimate the quiet students. Appreciate the strengths and
possibilities of all your students and encourage everyone. All
students can learn and improve in their own way.
Another aspect of personality that can affect pronunciation
is the degree to which a person is willing or able to change the
way they sound. Most of us have been speaking and listening to
language in the same, familiar way since we learned to talk. Our
voice and our pronunciation are a central part of the way we see
ourselves. It can be uncomfortable, and possibly even
frightening, to try out unfamiliar sounds and melodies of
language. For some people this process seems like a small bump
on the road, but for others, it’s a serious roadblock.

English Language teaching as a social interprise
In Communicative ELT (English Language Teaching),
text genre analysis is essential to uncover the social and the
cultural basis of language. The notion of genre has largely
drawn the attention of many scholars. It is incontestable
that a genre-based approach to teaching greatly improves
learners’ skills, not only in academic settings, but also in
professional scenarios. A genre--oriented approach to
language teaching incorporates an understanding that
language is purposeful and that structures emerge from use.
Additionally, there is an increasing recognition of the
relevance of taking into consideration language varieties, text--types, and text genres while designing reading and
writing language programs. As Martin (2002) points out,
genres have been defined as staged, goal-oriented social
processes. In these terms, as a level of context, genres
represent “the system of staged goal-oriented social
processes through which social subjects in a given culture
live their lives”. In ELT, the concept of text genre sheds light
on the influence of the context of culture on language. From
that viewpoint, every culture structures particular ways of
achieving communication goals in a given context through the
production of written and oral texts. The fact that English is
considered the predominant language for communicating
research findings makes it paramount that users of English as a
Foreign Language (EFL) develop proficiency in research English
across the skills of reading and writing. In order to be part of the
scientific community, EFL researchers need to understand “the
social processes by which knowledge about reality and the
world are made”, that is, they need to be able to understand
several genres that are part of academic social practice. Failure
to understand written genres as social action may result in
instruction that encourages the creation of texts to fit formal
requirements, as opposed to the practice of achieving social
goals. Technology also plays a role in assisting second/foreign
language (L2) writing instruction. The Internet, social networks
and digital media may provide EFL learners with greater
opportunities for meaningful and authentic language use,
which are usually interactive, social and multimodal. Learners
can interact with other speakers of the language from different
parts of the world, write blogs or create webpages and profiles
in social networks and produce both written and oral language
with a targeted community of speakers in mind.

Incidental vocabulary learning through
the viewing of video
There is growing evidence that L2 learners pick up new words while viewing video but little is known about the role of individual differences. This study explores incidental learning after the viewing of a French documentary containing 15 pseudowords and investigates whether learning is moderated by participants’ prior vocabulary knowledge and working memory. Sixty-three higher-intermediate learners of French participated in this study. Prior vocabulary knowledge was measured by means of a French meaning recognition test. Participants also took a forward digit-span (phonological shortterm memory), a backward digit-span, and an operation-span task (complex working memory). After viewing the video, four surprise vocabulary tests on form and meaning were administered. Results revealed that learning gains occurred at the level of form and meaning recognition. Vocabulary knowledge was positively related to picking up new words from video. Complex working memory correlated with the recognition tests showed more incidental learning gains for learners with higher complex working memory.
