Who votes for the Academy Awards?

        After the glitzy red-carpet arrivals, the feel-good montages, and the host’s opening roast, the Oscars ceremony switches to its raison d’être: revealing the previous year’s highest achievers in cinema. One after another, the presenters list the nominees, open a lavish envelope, and reveal the winner in each category. The champions breathlessly accept their awards and, over and over, effusively thank their mothers, God, and the academy... What is this obscure body? The academy—that is, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—is the organization that votes for the Oscar winners.
        The academy is an exclusive Hollywood institution that has its own governing body, 17 separate branches, and a thorough rule book on membership eligibility and voting processes. Since 2016, when the board announced that it would diversify its membership, the academy has grown to about 8,000 members. It doesn’t publicize the names of all those members, but each spring it releases a list of the individuals it has invited to join its ranks.
        The rest of the academy members are not listed, but we can guess who a few are by looking at some of the requirements to join the institution. To qualify, an individual must work in the film industry. This means that neither individuals who work exclusively in television nor members of the press may join. Oscar nominees are often considered for membership automatically, while other candidates must be sponsored by two active members of the branch they wish to join. Each branch also has its own specific requirements.

The dialogue describing an everyday purchase situation was presented for role playing, and oral practice, being the underlined segments examples of:

Salesman: Madam, how may I help you?
Customer: I’m looking for a leather purse.
Salesman: What size do you prefer?
Customer: Medium.
Salesman: What about the brand?
Customer: Maybe an Italian one in red.
Salesman: It won’t be a problem. The section on the left has new famous Italian arrivals but I’m not sure we have all of them in red.
Customer: The variety there seems far less. Anyway I will see the second, fourth and sixth red Italian ones on the first row to start with.

Every language has, due to several factors, variations in its structure, speech, grammar and pronunciation. That is, in the same language we may find different ways of speaking, that enrich even more the linguistic content and the dynamism in communication. Some of these possibilities are related to the linguistic variations that occur in specific regions, namely, there is a difference in words and phonemes, according to the place where certain language is spoken. For example, does a person who was born in Rio Grande do Sul speak in the same way as someone who was born in Bahia? Certainly not. Each region has its own variations of a same language. The same applies to international examples, such as The United States, England, New Zealand, The Virgin Islands, and South Africa, to quote just a few of the locations where English is mainly spoken, in different places and regions, different forms develop. This linguistic phenomenon happens in locations with different cultures, habits, customs and traditions, thus creating other language structures, diverse lexicon, as well as sounds and accents. The dimmension of linguistic variation described is:

How do most teachers use micro-dictations?
      However ‘small’ they are, micro-dictations have great value! They can help students notice connected speech, which is what usually blocks their understanding in a listening lesson. The teacher reads the sentences or plays the recording. They repeat each sentence a few times. Example: He must have gone out.
      Students listen and write what they hear.
      The teacher now writes the sentence on the whiteboard and asks students to compare it to theirs.
      Finally, the teacher asks: which part was difficult to understand and why?

Ain't It Fun


I don't mind

Letting you down easy, but just give it time

If it don't hurt now then just wait, just wait a while

You're not the big fish in the pond no more

You are what they're feeding on

So what are you gonna do

When the world don't orbit around you?

So what are you gonna do

When the world don't orbit around you?

Ain't it fun?

Living in the real world

Ain't it good?

Being all alone

Where you're from

You might be the one who's running things

Where you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want

See it's easy to ignore trouble

When you're living in a bubble

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star


Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.


When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.


Then the traveler in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark,

How could he see where to go,

If you did not twinkle so?


In the dark blue sky you keep,

Often through my curtains peep

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.


As your bright and tiny spark

Lights the traveler in the dark,

Though I know not what you are,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
