Q3623095 Inglês

In today’s fast‑paced business environment, hardly anything is more vital for growth and survival than innovation. And this is especially the case when it comes to technologies


IT innovation may sound like an area that’s purely the domain of IT companies, but really, it’s something that every business should be working towards. With new IT solutions coming out practically daily, it’s critical to find the ones that are going to boost operations, that are going to help companies to reach and exceed business goals. And it’s important to not just put innovative IT services in place, but to find the ones that are going to add the most value, and to find ways of using IT services in unique and innovative ways to enhance the way businesses are done.


Imagine IT innovation as a breath of fresh air into the sometimes stale corporate world, refreshing and reinvigorating business models, product development processes, and the very fabric of operational efficiency. Innovative IT breakthroughs like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, or the Internet of Things (IoT), are not just buzzwords but actual business growth strategies.


The ways in which businesses can leverage innovative IT solutions are as varied as the businesses themselves. From using AI to offer personalised customer experiences, to using conversational AI as training aids for new team members, to taking advantage of platforms like Microsoft Copilot and enhancing humans’ daily workflows – the potential is limitless.


One of the real‑world IT innovation examples that showcases the power of forward‑thinking is the adoption of chatbots for customer service. With AI and natural language processing, chatbots can handle simple inquiries, freeing up human staff to tackle more complex issues. More than that, it is possible to feed chatbot information that it can learn from in turn, helping it to provide answers that are unique to a specific business. For example, it could upload responses to the most common questions received, and the chatbot will not only provide this information to potential clients and customers that ask those questions, but will adapt them to the client’s unique situation. This not only improves efficiency but also enhances the customer experience.


IT innovation doesn’t take a single form. Because there are so many different ways to take advantage of innovative technology solutions, the IT innovation types can be broadly broken down into two different categories, but even these aren’t definitive.


Businesses are always looking for ways to enhance the products and services that they offer, and using innovative IT solutions to both pinpoint new product offerings or enhance the services that companies are already specialised in can setting in an increasingly competitive market space. Using IT innovation in product development can involve finding new ways to analyse data to get more meaningful insights, finding ways to incorporate solutions into technologies like apps, smart watches, or IoT devices. 


The second category of IT innovation is improving the existing processes within companies. By taking advantage of innovative technologies, they can enhance their internal operations and help the humans behind business to work smarter, not necessarily harder. This will see efficiency at an all‑time high, and more being done in less time. Some examples of ways that innovation can improve processes include using machine learning and AI to automate tasks, streamlining workflows, and both simplifying and enhancing data management.

Inside the charming city named 'Europe's highest capital' - with no trains or airports


Most of Europe's capital cities are full of tourists wanting to come and see the beautiful scenery and architecture.


But only one can say it's the highest in the continent.


High up in the Pyrenees mountains, 1,023m (3,356ft) above sea level, is Andorra la Vella, in Andorra.


The capital city - also one of the smallest in Europe - spans just five square miles, making London more than 120 times bigger than it.


And it's very hard to get to - due to the fact that no airport or train station can be found throughout the entire country of Andorra.


But that hasn't stopped 8 to 10 million people visiting the tiny place every year.


The best way of getting to Andorra is by flying to Barcelona, Girona or Lleida, in Spain, or Toulouse, France, and driving from any of them.


And while there, you can take advantage of Avinguda Meritxell, the Shopping Mile, filled with huge department stores and duty-free shopping, as Andorra has one of the lowest VATs in Europe.


One person on Tripadvisor described: 'It is a giant duty free shopping haven.


'Selling cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, perfumes and, more cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, perfumes, and even more clothes, shoes and the likes.


'Very good for local economy, very boring.'


Another draw for tourists to Andorra is the Caldea spa, the largest thermal spa in southern Europe - designed in 1987, using the hot springs that naturally flow in the region.


Here, you'll find indoor saunas, hammams and various types of baths, as well as an outdoor lagoon, surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain views.


The basic package for three hours access starts from ?30.50.


One person on Tripadvisor said: 'Fantastic spa with hydro massage pools and overlapping pools with futuristic design.'


Another visitor, who booked the basic entry, added: 'Very clean, very nicely designed and enjoyable. Absolutely worth it, 3 hours is more than enough.'


For the historians, Andorra's Old Town has a pre-Roman church, called Sant Esteve, dating back to the 9th century.


And Andorra La Vella is also an excellent place to stay if you want to head into the Pyrenees mountains.


When it comes to the weather, don't expect too much sun in Andorra.


In the mountains, the highs are as little as 8C in January and February, with the country having an average annual snowfall of 228cm.


Meanwhile, temperatures peak at 24C in July and August.

Which statements are correct?

I."High up in the Pyrenees mountains" demonstrates the use of prepositions to indicate location and position.
II."But that hasn't stopped..." uses a coordinating conjunction to introduce contrasting information.
III."Due to the fact that" functions as a subordinating conjunction expressing cause and effect relationships.
IV."As Andorra has one of the lowest VATs" introduces a reason using a subordinating conjunction.

Inside the charming city named 'Europe's highest capital' - with no trains or airports


Most of Europe's capital cities are full of tourists wanting to come and see the beautiful scenery and architecture.


But only one can say it's the highest in the continent.


High up in the Pyrenees mountains, 1,023m (3,356ft) above sea level, is Andorra la Vella, in Andorra.


The capital city - also one of the smallest in Europe - spans just five square miles, making London more than 120 times bigger than it.


And it's very hard to get to - due to the fact that no airport or train station can be found throughout the entire country of Andorra.


But that hasn't stopped 8 to 10 million people visiting the tiny place every year.


The best way of getting to Andorra is by flying to Barcelona, Girona or Lleida, in Spain, or Toulouse, France, and driving from any of them.


And while there, you can take advantage of Avinguda Meritxell, the Shopping Mile, filled with huge department stores and duty-free shopping, as Andorra has one of the lowest VATs in Europe.


One person on Tripadvisor described: 'It is a giant duty free shopping haven.

Reading and Vocabulary: A Recipe for Success
Dr Randi Reppen
March 13, 2025


It’s no surprise that research shows a very strong relationship between reading comprehension and vocabulary knowledge. After all, we need to be able to understand the words that we encounter when reading in order to understand what we’re reading. As Grabe and Stoller so succinctly stated back in 1997, “reading improves vocabulary knowledge and vocabulary knowledge supports reading development” (p.119). It’s a reciprocal relationship: the larger your vocabulary, the easier it is to read, and the more you read, the more your vocabulary increases.

So how do we get learners to increase their vocabulary to make reading easier (and more pleasurable!)? Research tells us that to read with adequate comprehension, 95 – 98% of the words in the text need to be known (Nation 2001: 147). But what does it mean to know a word when a single word can have many diff erent senses/meanings? Take a simple word like green. Now put yourself in your student’s shoes. Imagine fi rst encountering this word in a story about someone who lost their green jacket. Then in a diff erent context you read about someone who was green – instead of a color this could mean that the person was feeling sick, or envious, or a novice, or eco-conscious. Not so simple, is it?

We also know that reading texts on diff erent topics increases the chances that our students will encounter diff erent words and come across new meanings of known words. But how can we get them to do this consistently? One eff ective way is to combine “intensive” and “extensive” reading practice. This approach can both fi ne tune reading skills and increase vocabulary knowledge, all while making reading more pleasurable.

Intensive Reading

Intensive reading activities typically take place in class and involve diff erent ways of interacting with a text. Examples include timed readings, scanning for information, or skimming to get the gist of the text before diving in to read.

Newspaper articles off er great resources for scanning activities since they often include dates and names. If your school has a campus paper (print or online), use it as a resource for scanning activities. Rather than focusing on just one article, have your students scan the entire school paper for when or where certain events are taking place. This has the added benefi t of being directly relevant to their daily lives.

I’m also a fan of timed readings using short texts (200 – 400 words) that cover a wide range of topics. These increase the opportunity for students to encounter more diff erent words and to see words they already “know” in diff erent contexts and with diff erent meanings (as our example above of the word green).

Extensive Reading

Extensive reading usually happens outside the classroom, but there are benefi ts to including a dedicated time for this type of reading in class. When I teach reading, I always have 10 – 15 minutes of silent sustained reading as part of class. During that time everyone, including me, reads something of their choice. I set a timer so that we don’t lose track of time while reading.

With extensive reading, students choose texts of high interest to read every day for a predetermined amount of time. It’s important that students are reading for pleasure during this time and NOT reading textbooks. Graded readers or young adult literature are great resources for extensive reading.

You can help motivate your students by keeping track of their reading. Here are two suggestions:

1. Reading logs – Have your students keep reading logs of how much time they spend reading each day. They should also write a sentence or two about what they read.

2. Reading progress tracker – Have a place in your classroom to show their reading progress. For example, if students commit to reading 15 minutes a day, create a board showing student progress in 15-minute increments. As students accumulate reading time, you can have benchmarks (e.g., an hour, fi ve hours) for when students receive diff erent rewards, such as a certifi cate, time for an in-class game, or even a free book.

Combining intensive and extensive reading activities has long been a recipe for success in my classrooms. I have no doubt that it will help you help your students become more successful, and happier, readers, too.

Then in a diff erent context you read about someone who was green – instead of a color this could mean that the person was feeling sick, or envious, or a novice, or eco-conscious. Not so simple, is it?

We also know that reading texts on diff erent topics increases the chances that our students will encounter diff erent words and come across new meanings of known words. But how can we get them to do this consistently? One eff ective way is to combine “intensive” and “extensive” reading practice. This approach can both fi ne tune reading skills and increase vocabulary knowledge, all while making reading more pleasurable.

Intensive Reading

Intensive reading activities typically take place in class and involve diff erent ways of interacting with a text. Examples include timed readings, scanning for information, or skimming to get the gist of the text before diving in to read.

Newspaper articles off er great resources for scanning activities since they often include dates and names. If your school has a campus paper (print or online), use it as a resource for scanning activities. Rather than focusing on just one article, have your students scan the entire school paper for when or where certain events are taking place. This has the added benefi t of being directly relevant to their daily lives.

I’m also a fan of timed readings using short texts (200 – 400 words) that cover a wide range of topics. These increase the opportunity for students to encounter more diff erent words and to see words they already “know” in diff erent contexts and with diff erent meanings (as our example above of the word green).

Extensive Reading

Extensive reading usually happens outside the classroom, but there are benefi ts to including a dedicated time for this type of reading in class. When I teach reading, I always have 10 – 15 minutes of silent sustained reading as part of class. During that time everyone, including me, reads something of their choice. I set a timer so that we don’t lose track of time while reading.

With extensive reading, students choose texts of high interest to read every day for a predetermined amount of time. It’s important that students are reading for pleasure during this time and NOT reading textbooks. Graded readers or young adult literature are great resources for extensive reading.

You can help motivate your students by keeping track of their reading. Here are two suggestions:

1. Reading logs – Have your students keep reading logs of how much time they spend reading each day. They should also write a sentence or two about what they read.

2. Reading progress tracker – Have a place in your classroom to show their reading progress. For example, if students commit to reading 15 minutes a day, create a board showing student progress in 15-minute increments. As students accumulate reading time, you can have benchmarks (e.g., an hour, fi ve hours) for when students receive diff erent rewards, such as a certifi cate, time for an in-class game, or even a free book.

Combining intensive and extensive reading activities has long been a recipe for success in my classrooms. I have no doubt that it will help you help your students become more successful, and happier, readers, too.
