Pronouns make links to what has already been said and help avoid repetition. Pronouns can be used as cohesive devices in order to create cohesion. A pronoun is a word that stands in for a noun, often to avoid the need to repeat the same noun over and over. Like nouns, pronouns can refer to people, things, concepts, and places. Most sentences contain at least one noun or pronoun. Pronouns do more than helping avoid repetitiveness. They provide context, make sentences’ meanings clearer, and shape how we perceive people and things. Read the sentences that follow and do what is required.

I. Her aunt will be vacating next week.
II. That toy on the shelf is mine.
III. Did you do it yourself?
IV. She is the girl I was talking to you about.
V. I am going home today evening.
VI. All my friends are coming home for my birthday party.

In the order they were respectively underlined and written in bold letters, the pronouns written in the sentences above have specific functions, check the answer whose pronouns types are correspondent to the ones read above.

Title: A Day in the Life of a 25-Year-Old Brazilian Professional


    In the bustling city of São Paulo, Maria, a 25-year-old Brazilian professional, navigates through the intricate dance of daily life. Her routine is a symphony of responsibilities and aspirations, with the melody of a 9-to-5 job dominating the forefront. Each morning, she kick-starts her day with a hearty breakfast, a routine she cherishes as a moment of quiet reflection before plunging into the demanding world of work.

    Maria's workdays are diverse, as she is engrossed in the dynamic realm of marketing. From brainstorming creative campaigns to analyzing market trends, her tasks are as varied as the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro. Juggling between meetings, deadlines, and coffee breaks, she finds solace in the camaraderie of her colleagues, creating a supportive work environment that fuels her professional growth.

    Evenings unfold as a balancing act, where Maria strives to maintain a harmonious equilibrium between her career and personal life. Post-work hours are dedicated to pursuing her passion for photography, capturing the rich tapestry of Brazilian culture. Weekends offer a reprieve, allowing her to immerse herself in the colorful rhythm of samba dancing, a cherished pastime that serves as both exercise and a cultural connection.

    As the day winds down, Maria reflects on the challenges and triumphs that define her 25-year-old self. Balancing ambition with the appreciation of life's small joys, she embodies the spirit of a young Brazilian professional, navigating the complexities of a modern career while staying deeply rooted in the vibrant tapestry of her culture.

"Evenings unfold as a balancing act, where Maria strives to maintain a harmonious equilibrium between her career and personal life."

         A lawyer used ChatGPT to prepare a court filing. It went horribly awry.

       

 A lawyer who relied on ChatGPT to prepare a court filing on behalf of a man suing an airline is now all too familiar with the artificial intelligence (AI) tool’s shortcomings — including its propensity to invent facts. 

      

  Roberto Mata sued Colombian airline Avianca last year, alleging that a metal food and beverage cart injured his knee on a flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York. When Avianca asked a Manhattan judge to dismiss the lawsuit based on the statute of limitations, his lawyer submitted a brief based on research done by ChatGPT.


        While ChatGPT can be useful to professionals in numerous industries, including the legal profession, it has proved itself to be both limited and unreliable. In this case, the AI invented court cases that didn’t exist, and asserted that they were real. The fabrications were revealed when Avianca’s lawyers approached the case’s judge, saying they couldn’t locate the cases cited in Mata’s lawyers’ brief in legal databases.


        “It seemed clear when we didn’t recognize any of the cases in their opposition brief that something was amiss,” said the airline’s lawyer. And soon they figured it was some sort of chatbot of some kind. On the other hand, the passenger’s lawyer said that it was the first time he’d used ChatGPT for work and, therefore, he was unaware of the possibility that its content could be false.

Based on the preceding text, judge the item that follow.  


It is correct to infer from the text that, due to the lawyer’s expertise, he had used ChatGPT for work before.

Text 3


The large majority of humankind is more or less fluent in 2 or even more languages. This raises the fundamental question how the language network in the brain is organized such that the correct target language is selected at a particular occasion. Here we present particular behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging data showing that bilingual processing leads to language conflict in the bilingual brain even when the bilinguals' task only required target language knowledge. This finding demonstrates that the bilingual brain cannot avoid language conflict, because words from the target and nontarget languages become automatically activated during reading. Importantly, stimulus-based language conflict was found in brain regions in the LIPC associated with phonological and semantic processing, whereas response-based language con whereas flict was only found in the pre-supplementary motor area/anterior cingulate cortex when language conflict leads to response conflicts.


Index terms: event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, interlingual homographs, lexical decision, pre-supplementary motor area and anterior cingulated, response conflict.

Communicative Language Teaching aims broadly to apply the theoretical perspective of the Communicative Approach by making communicative competence the goal of language teaching and by acknowledging the interdependence of language and communication. What this looks like in the classroom may depend on how the tenets are interpreted and applied. Nevertheless, we will follow our usual way of und erstanding the theor y and ussocia rcd practices by visiting a class in which a form of Communicative Language Teaching is being practiced. The class we will visit is one being conducted for adult immigrants to Canada . These twenty people have lived in Canada for two years and are at a high-intermediate level of English proficiency. They meet two evenings a week for two hours each class.

The Best & Worst Places for Expats in 2022 (Part 1)



*expat: informal for expatriate, someone who does not live in their own country. 
Consider the following statements about the excerpt “Among the most interesting findings are #1 Mexico delights with more than just its food” (l. 03):
I. The excerpt contains both a comparative and a superlative structure. II. To convey the opposite meaning, it would be grammatically correct to replace the superlative structure with “the less interesting” or “the more boring”. III. The word “its” is a possessive adjective. IV. There would be no significative changes in meaning if the word “among” were replaced by “between” because they are always interchangeable.

All the Beijing snow is human-made


      Climate variability has forced the Winter Games to be virtually 100% reliant on artificial snow -- part of a trend that is taking place across winter sports venues around the world.

     Just one of the 21 cities that have hosted the Winter Olympics in the past 50 years will have a climate suitable for winter sports by the end of the century, a recent study found, if fossil fuel emissions remain unchecked.

    As the planet warms and the weather becomes increasingly more erratic, natural snow is becoming less reliable for winter sports, which forces venues to lean more on artificial snow.

    But it comes at a cost: human-made snow is incredibly resource-intensive, requiring massive amounts of energy and water to produce in a climate that's getting warmer and warmer. Elite athletes also say that the sports themselves become trickier and less safe when human-made snow is involved.

O adjetivo é uma palavra que serve para qualificar ou determinar o substantivo. Em inglês, o adjetivo não concorda em gênero e número com o substantivo; portanto, não sofre mudança alguma na terminação.

Analise as asserções a seguir e a relação proposta entre elas.

I - A função de um adjetivo é mudar um substantivo, ou seja, o adjetivo possessivo deve ser sempre acompanhado da palavra (substantivo): my book, his father, their mother; são chamados adjetivos, e não pronomes
