The relationship between teacher and student in the
classroom is characterized by a complexity that goes
beyond simple didactic interaction or warm human
interaction. Both parties play fundamental roles, where
the actions of one affect those of the other, and the
student is not seen as a mere recipient of knowledge but
as a being capable of thinking, reflecting, and actively
participating in the educational process.

Verb phrases contain a verb as their central element.
However, sentences that include a modal verb (such as
can, may might etc) can also be considered a verb phrase,
since the modal verb will change the meaning and tone of
the main verb. It is important to note that modal verbs is
the only exception to verb phrases without a verb as its
central element.

READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER QUESTION:
Artificial intelligence and the future of humanity
Thinking and learning about artificial intelligence are the mental
equivalent of a fission chain reaction. The questions get really big,
really quickly.
The most familiar concerns revolve around short-term impacts:
the opportunities for economic productivity, health care,
manufacturing, education, solving global challenges such as
climate change and, on the flip side, the risks of mass
unemployment, disinformation, killer robots, and concentrations
of economic and strategic power.
Each of these is critical, but they’re only the most immediate
considerations. The deeper issue is our capacity to live meaningful,
fulfilling lives in a world in which we no longer have intelligence
supremacy.
As long as humanity has existed, we’ve had an effective monopoly
on intelligence. We have been, as far as we know, the smartest
entities in the universe.
At its most noble, this extraordinary gift of our evolution drives us
to explore, discover and expand. Over the past roughly 50,000
years—accelerating 10,000 years ago and then even more steeply
from around 300 years ago—we’ve built a vast intellectual empire
made up of science, philosophy, theology, engineering,
storytelling, art, technology and culture.
If our civilisations—and in varying ways our individual lives—have
meaning, it is found in this constant exploration, discovery and
intellectual expansion.
Intelligence is the raw material for it all. But what happens when
we’re no longer the smartest beings in the universe? We haven’t
yet achieved artificial general intelligence (AGI)—the term for an
AI that could do anything we can do. But there’s no barrier in
principle to doing so, and no reason it wouldn’t quickly outstrip us
by orders of magnitude.
Even if we solve the economic equality questions through
something like a universal basic income and replace notions of
‘paid work’ with ‘meaningful activity’, how are we going to spend
our lives in ways that we find meaningful, given that we’ve evolved
to strive and thrive and compete?

Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie is one of the rare writers who has completely transcended pop culture to become a more or less permanent
fixture in the literary filament. Most authors — even best-selling authors who won awards and enjoyed huge sales of their
books — fade away shortly after they die, their work falling out of fashion. A favorite example is George Barr McCutcheon,
who had several bestsellers in the early 20th century — including "Brewster’s Millions," which has been adapted to film seven
times — and was quite the literary star. A hundred years later, few people know his name, and if they know the title of his
most famous work, it’s probably because of Richard Pryor.
But Christie is something else entirely. [...] Christie’s works are protected from the sort of rot that makes most non-literary
classics fade from the public mind, of course, because they are generally quite clever, and the mysteries they describe and
solve are crimes and schemes that could still be attempted today despite the march of time and technology. That makes
Christie’s stories very adaptable, and indeed they are still adapting her most famous novels for television and film. Whether
as period pieces or with effortless updates, these stories remain the gold standard for a “whodunnit.” On top of that, despite
being a writer of paperback mysteries, a traditionally low-rent genre, Christie injected a certain thrilling literary adventure
into her writing, ignoring the rules quite often and setting new standards [...].
And that’s likely the reason for Christie’s continued popularity. Despite writing what could have been tossed-off novels that
sold like hotcakes and were then forgotten, Christie managed a perfect balance between intelligent artistry and the red meat
of surprise twists, sudden reveals, and convoluted murder plots. Tha t literary intelligence, in fact, means that there’s a lot
more than just clues to the mystery at hand in Christie’s stories — in fact, there are clues to Agatha Christie herself hidden in
her prose.

Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie is one of the rare writers who has completely transcended pop culture to become a more or less permanent
fixture in the literary filament. Most authors — even best-selling authors who won awards and enjoyed huge sales of their
books — fade away shortly after they die, their work falling out of fashion. A favorite example is George Barr McCutcheon,
who had several bestsellers in the early 20th century — including "Brewster’s Millions," which has been adapted to film seven
times — and was quite the literary star. A hundred years later, few people know his name, and if they know the title of his
most famous work, it’s probably because of Richard Pryor.
But Christie is something else entirely. [...] Christie’s works are protected from the sort of rot that makes most non-literary
classics fade from the public mind, of course, because they are generally quite clever, and the mysteries they describe and
solve are crimes and schemes that could still be attempted today despite the march of time and technology. That makes
Christie’s stories very adaptable, and indeed they are still adapting her most famous novels for television and film. Whether
as period pieces or with effortless updates, these stories remain the gold standard for a “whodunnit.” On top of that, despite
being a writer of paperback mysteries, a traditionally low-rent genre, Christie injected a certain thrilling literary adventure
into her writing, ignoring the rules quite often and setting new standards [...].
And that’s likely the reason for Christie’s continued popularity. Despite writing what could have been tossed-off novels that
sold like hotcakes and were then forgotten, Christie managed a perfect balance between intelligent artistry and the red meat
of surprise twists, sudden reveals, and convoluted murder plots. Tha t literary intelligence, in fact, means that there’s a lot
more than just clues to the mystery at hand in Christie’s stories — in fact, there are clues to Agatha Christie herself hidden in
her prose.

Failed policies and false promises bedevil multilingualism in South Africa
Twenty-seven years after democracy, English retains its hegemony as the language of influence, means, and access in all
spheres of life – despite progressive language policies and government promises to foster all eleven official languages. “We
are a multilingual country with monolingual practices,” said University of Cape Town (UCT) Vice-Chancellor Professor
Mamokgethi Phakeng in a public lecture, delivered as Bristol Illustrious Visiting Professor (BIVP). [...]
In 1997 South Africa announced a new Language in Education policy for schools, recognising eleven official languages and
encouraging multilingualism. Within this policy, learners must choose the preferred language of learning on admission to a
school. Where the language they choose is not available, parents can apply to the provincial education department to provide
instruction. Most choose English – probably through their parents’ influence, as it holds the key to opportunities, said
Phakeng.
In 2020 the Department of Higher Education and Training published a language policy framework for public higher education
institutions. These policies are intended to develop and strengthen indigenous languages as languages of scholarship, teaching
and learning, and communication in South African universities, said Phakeng. The policy framework is also meant to highlight
the role of higher education in creating and promoting conditions for the development of historically marginalized official
South African languages of the Khoi, Nama, and San people, as well as sign language [...].
History has shown that despite their lofty intentions, both policies have failed to redress the situation. English still dominates
in almost every facet of public life. The reasons are many and complex, said Phakeng [...].
“For example, you can be fluent in six of the country’s eleven official languages but denied an opportunity to join the military,
because your matric English mark was 45%. It doesn’t matter that you scored 78% for your home language, Xhosa.” [...]
Research suggests that schools are not opting to use indigenous African languages as languages of learning and teaching, in
both policy and practice. Those in power should have known better, Phakeng said.
“Mother-tongue instruction has a bad image among speakers of African languages. It is associated with apartheid, and hence
inferior education – parents’ memories of Bantu education, combined with our perception of English as a gateway to better
education, and making most black parents favor English from the beginning.”
English is also a prerequisite for anyone aspiring to become a professional in South Africa. [...]
