'I felt lighter, more open': Why you are never too old
for therapy
We assume therapy belongs to youth, yet older people
may be particularly likely to benefit from psychological
support.
Maurizio is 70. He recently began therapy in the hope of
better understanding a physical pain he had carried since
childhood. He has suffered migraines since the age of
seven and wanted to explore what might lie behind them.
Over the years he had consulted different doctors and
sought multiple opinions – therapy was another attempt
to trace the origins of the problem. But he continued even
after realising he might never find a single cause. "The
process itself became something meaningful, a space for
introspection that helped me understand my life more
clearly," Mauizio says. (We have omitted the surnames of
the therapy clients quoted within this piece to preserve
their privacy.)
Antonio, 73, and his wife Gigliola, 68, turned to therapy
hoping to save their relationship after years marked by
disappointments and unspoken tensions. "After some
time, I realised I felt lighter, more open," Antonio says.
"Looking within ourselves and bringing out what we could
never say before perhaps helped us," Gigliola adds.
Their stories challenge a common assumption: that
therapy is only for the young. And a growing body of
evidence suggests that many older people could benefit
from the same kind of help.
Therapy in later life
The potential for therapy to treat mental illness and
enhance our overall wellbeing is now well-established,
yet it is relatively rare for older people to access these
services.
According to the World Health Organization, around 14%
of people over 70 live with a mental health disorder, most
commonly anxiety and depression, and 17% of all
suicides occur in people of in this age range. A study
published in 2024, however, found that only around 4%
of US adults aged 65 and over received psychological
therapy, compared with 12% of those aged 18-24 and
8% among those aged 35-64.
This is despite there being no evidence that therapy is
any less effective or useful as we get older, according to
Pim Cuijpers, professor of clinical psychology at the Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. "Therapies
work across the whole adult age," he says.
Cuijpers recently published a review on psychotherapy
for depression across different age groups. "What
surprised me is that there is quite a lot of research in
older people who are above 75 and we didn't find any
indication that psychotherapies differ in that age group either," he says.
Older people may find that therapy helps to target some
of the specific concerns that come with ageing, including
social isolation and chronic illness, with widespread
benefits. Many report improvements in overall wellbeing,
renewed motivation and increased social participation. In
this way therapy can function as a bridge: helping older
adults reconnect with themselves and the wider world.
The strongest responses, according to a 2025 review,
may be found in group-based interventions, which makes
sense, since they offer a structured means of relating
with others.
And despite lower levels of initial access, completion
rates among older participants can reach up to 54%,
often surpassing those of younger adults. This
demonstrates that older patients are frequently highly
committed to therapy and capable of sustaining the work
required for meaningful change.
"We don't know the reasons but we could imagine that
when older adults are willing to seek help, they are also
more motivated to do that," says Cuijpers.
Barriers to care
Financial difficulties help explain part of the gap in older
people beginning therapy in the first place: their health
insurance may not cover therapy, and they may not be
able to afford to pay for it independently.
A world of therapy options
Therapy comes in many different forms and can be
tailored to different needs. A few that may be worth
considering trying are:
• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on
identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns.
• Psychodynamic therapy has an emphasis on how past
experiences shape present emotions and behaviours.
• Family therapy is for those who want to work beyond an
individual focus (such as in Antonio and Gigliola's case)
and looks at relationships and dynamics within the family
as a whole.
• Group therapy creates opportunities to share
experiences with people facing similar medical diagnoses
and to feel more understood and less alone.
But another barrier can arise within the healthcare
system itself. The journey into therapy often depends on
a referral from a primary care physician, yet some
research suggests that older adults are referred to
psychological treatments less frequently, even when they
present with symptoms of anxiety or depression. Their
distress may be seen as a natural response to ageing or
physical decline, rather than as a mental health condition
that warrants treatment.
Part of this prejudice comes from Sigmund Freud, the
founder of psychoanalysis, who argued that therapy
stopped working after 40 or 50 years, says Rossana De
Beni, professor and senior researcher in experimental
psychology at the University of Padua, Italy. In On
Psychotherapy (1905), a brief technical paper on the practice of psychoanalysis, Freud noted that above a
certain age "the elasticity of the mental processes, on
which the treatment depends, is as a rule lacking".
But that is "absolutely not true", says De Beni. In fact,
"studies show the opposite".
Clinicians need to see the older person for who they truly
are, De Beni points out, not simply as "an old person",
but as a multi-faceted individual. Unfortunately, our ageist
prejudices are often "deeply entrenched", she says.
Some of the ageism may be internalised by the potential
patients themselves. Beliefs such as the idea that mental
health problems are simply a normal part of ageing are
among the most frequently cited obstacles to accessing
care. This is especially problematic, since ageism can
itself predispose someone to greater anxiety and
depression.
The simple truth is that positive transformation is possible
across the lifespan. "Ageing, right to the very end, is a
stage of life marked by change," De Beni says. "People
become more fully themselves in a process of continuous
transformation, learning and flexibility that never truly
ends."
Maurizio certainly identifies with this sentiment. "There
are three moments when therapy helped me: in dealing
with my marital separation, in working through certain
conflicts with my children, and in navigating the transition
from active work to a pre-retirement phase, where I had
to find new ways to socialise," Maurizio says. "I never
thought it could be too late for anything."
He hopes that he has set an example for others to follow.
"I think it may have planted a small seed: not today, not
tomorrow, but perhaps the day after, they will bring it out
and water it," he says.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão:
Notional-functional syllabuses (hereafter referred to as
NFS) began to be used in the United Kingdom in the 1970’s.
The distinguishing characteristics of the NFS were its attention
to functions as the organizing elements of English language
curriculum, and its contrast with a structural syllabus in which
sequenced grammatical structures served as organizers.
Thus, the NFS focused strongly on the pragmatic purposes to
which we put language. Curricula were then organized around
such functions as identifying, reporting, denying, accepting,
declining, apologizing, etc. Some seventy different language
functions were identified.
The NFS quickly provided popular underpinnings for
the development of communicative textbooks and materials
in English language courses. It is important to emphasize
that the NFS did not necessarily develop communicative
competence in learners because, as a syllabus, it still
presented language as an inventory of units – functional
rather than grammatical units, but units nonetheless.
Communicative competence implies a set of strategies for
getting messages sent and received and for negotiating
meaning as an interactive participant in discourse, whether
spoken or written. It pressuposes the learners’ ability
to “know how to do” things, being able to act in different
situations as they put their constructed knowledge into
practice.

language pedagogy. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall Regents, 1994.

In natural spoken English, words are not necessarily
pronounced in exactly the same way as when they are
produced in isolation. Connected speech may involve
changes related to linking, sound omission, stress
placement and the interaction between adjacent sounds.
Judge the statements below as True (T) or False (F):
(__)In a non-rhotic variety of British English, the final letter r in far is normally silent when the word occurs alone, but the corresponding sound may be pronounced in far away because the following word begins with a vowel.
(__)In rapid speech, the t sound in next day may be omitted because of the complex consonant sequence, illustrating elision rather than the addition of a new sound.
(__)In did you, the final sound of did and the initial sound represented by y in you may interact and produce a pronunciation similar to the beginning of the word June.
(__)The words photograph and photography maintain primary stress on the same syllable because words belonging to the same lexical family normally preserve identical stress patterns.

The Multimodal Approach in English Language Teaching
TEXT I
The Multimodal Approach in English Language Teaching
In today’s media-rich environment, the vast majority of texts students engage with daily — such as YouTube videos, Instagram reels, TikTok clips, streaming series, video games and blog posts — are not only digital but also multimodal. These texts combine language with image, sound, movement and spatial design to convey meaning, often requiring learners to interpret and respond across multiple modes simultaneously. As digital technologies evolve, the pervasiveness and complexity of multimodal communication grow, reshaping both how we communicate and what it means to be literate.
Contemporary communication extends far beyond speech and writing; it is a layered, dynamic process that includes visual, aural, gestural and spatial elements. As such, literacy can no longer be understood solely as a linguistic skill. To participate fully in today’s social, academic and professional contexts, learners need more than the ability to read and write alphabetic text — they need to view, interpret, evaluate and represent meaning through a range of semiotic resources. In this context, traditional notions of literacy are insufficient and language education must evolve to reflect the multimodal nature of communication in the 21st century […]
Importantly, multimodal literacy also promotes accessibility and inclusion. Learners with reading difficulties, sensory impairments or diverse learning needs often struggle with traditional printbased instruction. Multimodal texts provide alternative pathways to meaning, allowing information to be accessed and expressed through visuals, sound, movement and space. This not only supports learners with special educational needs but benefits all students by offering multiple modes for engagement and expression. By embedding multimodal materials and encouraging students to compose multimodal texts, teachers create more equitable and inclusive classrooms. Multimodal learning reflects how people communicate in real life — and, crucially, supports the development of diverse literacies needed for participation in contemporary society.
In summary, integrating multimodal literacy into language teaching fosters deeper engagement, enhances learning outcomes and equips students with the skills to navigate and contribute meaningfully to today’s complex communicative landscape.

Xbox caps cloud gaming at 15 hours a month for
Game Pass subscribers
Xbox is introducing strict monthly time limits for Game
Pass subscribers who stream games online through its
cloud gaming service.
The changes, which come into effect in November, will
see a subscriber to the £16.99 Ultimate monthly plan
able to stream games for up to 15 hours a month - before
having to purchase additional cloud play time.
Xbox said the limits were due to the rising cost of cloud
gaming, and they would allow the firm to "continue to
invest" in the service's "reliability and performance".
While some questioned whether the service was used by
many to begin with, others called out the additional limits
for subscribers.
Cloud gaming allows players to stream and play games
online from a remote server using a phone, tablet or
controller, rather than downloading and running it on a
PC or console at home.
Different tiers of subscription to Game Pass will have
different limits.
Premium users will get 10 hours, while those on the basic
Essential tier will get five hours a month before they have
to pay for extra time.
Xbox claimed just 4% of the people who use Games
Pass - its Netflix-style subscription plan for games - use
its cloud gaming service.
A recent Wall Street Journal article reported Game Pass
has 30 million subscribers, which would leave the number
of people affected by the cloud gaming changes at
roughly 1.2 million.
"This is a pretty awful change, hopefully Xbox adds an
extra zero on the end cause 15hrs is abysmal. 30
minutes a day, really?" posted one commenter on X.
Jez Corden of Windows Central told the BBC the
announcement showed that "absolutely nothing is safe
from the AI-driven component crisis," but he added it also
highlighted "where Microsoft's priorities are".
Both cloud gaming and AI use the same infrastructure -
data centres - to process information.
"For them to continue to offer unlimited access to
Microsoft Copilot [AI] for free but restrict paid cloud
gaming in this way shows some contradiction," he added.
Xbox said in a blog post that from November, users
would also be able to use the company's cloud gaming
feature without subscribing to Game Pass, but by buying
"cloud playtime hours" through the Xbox store.
It has not revealed how much extra hours of cloud
gaming would cost.
Xbox's 'reset'
The news comes as Asha Sharma, Xbox's chief
executive, told the BBC in an exclusive recent interview
that the company and the industry as a whole needed to
"start to innovate on affordability and efficiency," amid a
"crisis" in computing prices.
"As an industry, we're in the middle of 'Rampocalypse'.
We're in the middle of people coming back from Covid
and the patterns changing," she said.
"Rampocalypse" refers to the fact that the cost of a
previously cheap hardware component, random access
memory (Ram), has shot up in price with the expansion
of compute-hungry data centres. Some people also call it
"Ramageddon".
Sharma added: "Within Xbox, we haven't been healthy.
And so a lot of the reset that will take us throughout the
year is really meant to help ensure that we are here for
the next 25 years and we're continuing to serve our
purpose and our mission."
According to Xbox owner Microsoft's July financial filings,
annual Xbox revenue dropped by $1.7bn to roughly
$21.8bn (£16.1bn) - a 7% decline from 2025.
Part of Sharma's reset has seen 3,200 people let go at
the company - with 1,600 job losses announced in July,
and the remaining posts to go gradually over the course
of Microsoft's 2027 financial year.
Studios which had been acquired by Xbox - including
Compulsion Games, which made the Bafta-winning
South of Midnight and Double Fine Productions, makers
of Psychonauts - were also made independent again.
Sharma is betting these changes can reverse its fortunes
despite concerns over its subscription strategy and rising
AI-related costs.
"Sometimes you have to restructure a business when it's
not doing well, and that was true with our Xbox
business," Microsoft's president Brad Smith recently told
the BBC.
Cloud gaming
In an interview in July, Jeff Gattiss, Amazon's head of gaming, told the BBC he believed the rising cost of tech
would mean people will turn to streaming games online
rather than buying new consoles.
However, despite some big names investing in the
technology, it has never fully reached the mainstream.
Google launched its own cloud gaming service Stadia in
November 2019, positioning it as a "Netflix for games".
The service was discontinued in January 2023 after the
company said it had not attracted as many users as
hoped.
For many gamers, cloud gaming remains too unreliable
for regular use due to its reliance on high-speed internet -
and an additional fee may further limit its appeal.

The Best Fast Food Fried Chicken Chain in America
Is Dropping 2 New Menu Items
When it comes to fast food, it's no secret that French fries
are a critical (and contentious) menu item for almost
every major chain. Whether it's Arby's curly fries,
Chick-fil-A's signature waffle-cut fries, or Taco Bell's
Nacho Fries with its signature Tex-Mex flair, most fast
food restaurants have their own way of zhuzhing up the
humble potato. Now, another fan-loved chain is
branching out beyond the simple spud and dropping two
new iterations of the iconic menu item, and we can't wait
to try them.
Jollibee Just Debuted New Flavored French Fries
After maintaining its title as USA Today's 'Best Fast-Food
Fried Chicken in America' for the third consecutive year,
Jollibee is introducing two new menu items for a limited
time, and it looks like the chain is already vying for the
top spot in 2027. While classic fries are a fast food
staple, flavored fries have emerged across the food
scene, including the McShaker Fries from the Golden
Arches and Wendy's Shaker Fries. Now, Jollibee is
entering the chat with new Jolly Flavor Fries, bringing two
fan-favorite potato flavors to the chain's signature spud.
Jollibee Cheesy Cheddar and Sour Cream & Onion Fries
on a teal and yellow background
Inspired by fan-favorite potato chip flavors, Jollibee is
upgrading its signature Jolly Crispy Fries by tossing the
taters in two new, made-to-order varieties. First up are
the Cheesy Cheddar fries, which feature a rich
cheddar-flavored seasoning perfect for anyone who
enjoys cheese and chips, melted cheese on a baked
potato, or my go-to Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles.
Jollibee is also channeling another beloved savory potato
chip with the Sour Cream & Onion Jolly Crispy Fries,
which are tossed in a savory sour cream and onion
seasoning.
Each order of Jolly Crispy Fries comes in a custom
mini-bucket without a lid, making it easy to grab and
snack on the go. The fries are available à la carte starting
at $4.49, or you can try them as part of a combo upgrade
for a small upcharge.
Jolly Flavor Fries are only available through Oct. 13, so if
you want to try Jollibee's newest iteration of the fast food
favorite, you may want to head to your local restaurant
sooner rather than later. And, while you're there, you may
as well grab some Jollibee chicken and see if it really
lives up to the national hype.

During an oral-comprehension lesson, students compare
a carefully articulated recording with a spontaneous
exchange. The teacher wants them to analyze how
prominence, reduction, and connected speech contribute
to meaning and may affect listening.
Considering English phonology in oral interaction, mark T, for true, and F, for false.
(__)In "Emma sent A draft, but not the final one," prominence on "a" can contribute to a contrast between an unspecified draft and the expected final version.
(__)A rising intonation contour gives an utterance interrogative grammatical structure independently of its syntax and communicative context.
(__)Reduced or coalescent forms in sequences such as "did you" may make segmentation difficult for learners who recognize the words more easily in isolation.
(__)Maintaining full vowels in unstressed grammatical words is necessary for an utterance to remain intelligible in spontaneous English speech.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom.

Regular English inflectional endings may have different
pronunciations even when their spelling remains the
same. A teacher selects words from a classroom text so
that students can identify how plural "-s" and past "-ed"
endings are pronounced.
Match the items in Column I with the words in Column II.
COLUMN I
1.Plural "-s" pronounced with an "s" sound, as in cats.
2.Plural "-s" pronounced with a "z" sound, as in dogs.
3.Past "-ed" pronounced as an extra syllable, as in needed.
4.Past "-ed" pronounced with a "t" sound, as in worked.

An English teacher uses spelling activities together with
oral discrimination so that students do not assume a
one-to-one relationship between letters and sounds. The
activity includes letter names and words whose similar
spelling patterns correspond to different pronunciations.
Considering English orthography and pronunciation, mark T, for true, and F, for false.
(__)The letter name "G" begins with the same consonant phoneme found at the beginning of "job."
(__)The conventional English name of the letter "H" begins with the phoneme /h/.
(__)The grapheme "c" represents the same consonant phoneme in "city" and "cat."
(__)The words "though," "through," and "thought" illustrate that similar orthographic sequences may correspond to different phonological patterns.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom.

'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive
lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon
A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3
million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon
rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study.
Researchers used LIDAR − a technology that fires pulses
of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map
the ground below − to survey more than 4,400km of the
southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were
published in Nature.
Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which
lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may
have been around three times larger than previously
expected. At its peak, their society may have numbered
1.25 −3 million people.
The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns
built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take
various shapes including circles and squares and appear
to be connected by straight roads or pathways.
"The scale and precision of these constructions are
simply astonishing," lead author and University of
Helsinki archaeologist, Prof Martti Pärssinen, told BBC
Science Focus.
"Based on LiDAR surveys covering 4,500 km², we
estimate that the entire 183,000 km² Aquiry region may
contain approximately 24,000 to 30,000 earthworks
linked by hundreds of roads, revealing a scale of
landscape modification previously unimaginable for this
part of Amazonia."
Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the
trees, experts could only investigate deforested areas of
the Amazon − fuelling a mistaken belief that only the
rainforest's sparser regions had been settled by humans,
and not its denser parts.
"These findings suggest that many other regions across
Amazonia may likewise have been far more densely
populated and intensively modified than previously
assumed, challenging the long-standing view of the
rainforest as a largely untouched wilderness," Pärssinen
said.
The next phase of the project is to use the same laser technology to identify tree species that early societies
domesticated − such as those bearing nuts or fruit, and
which continue to grow in the region today.
"We will then investigate how their distribution relates to
different ecosystems, as well as to the locations of
earthworks and ancient road networks," Pärssinen said.
"Simply put, one cannot help but wonder: what else
remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?"

Several regular past forms occur in the text, including
lived, linked, and uncovered. Although each is written with the ending -ed, the phonological realization of that
ending depends on the preceding sound.
Considering standard English pronunciation, mark T, for true, and F, for false.
(__)In lived , the -ed ending is typically realized as /d/.
(__)In linked , the -ed ending is typically realized as /tu/.
(__)In uncovered , the final -ed normally forms an additional syllable pronounced /yd/.
(__)The different realizations of -ed demonstrate that identical orthographic endings may correspond to different phonetic forms.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom.
