Text 1– The Black Cat (Edgar Allan Poe)
Pluto– this was the cat’s name– was my favorite pet and
playmate. I alone Blank I him, and he attended me wherever I
went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could
prevent him from following me through the streets.
Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for several years, during which my general temperament and character– through the
instrumentality of the Fiend Intemperance– had (I blush to confess it) experienced a radical alteration for the worse. I Blank II,
day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the
feelings of others. I suffered myself to use intemperate language
to my wife. At length, I even offered her personal violence. My
pets, of course, were made to feel the change in my disposition.
I not only neglected, but ill-used them. For Pluto, however, I still
retained sufficient regard to restrain me from maltreating him, as
I made no scruple of maltreating the rabbits, the monkey, or even
the dog, when by accident, or through affection, they came in my
way. But my disease grew upon me– for what disease is like
Alcohol!– and at length even Pluto, who was now becoming
old, and consequently somewhat peevish– even Pluto Blank III
to experience the effects of my ill temper.

Regarding the process of word formation, it can be stated that:
I. Playmate is an example of a compound word formed by combining the words “play” and “mate”.
II. Inflection occurs when a suffix is added to a word without changing its grammatical class as in becoming (...Pluto, was now becoming old...).
III. Derivation occurs when affixes are added to a word to change its meaning and, in some cases, its grammatical class.

Since the 1950s, researchers, inventors and
entrepreneurs have been fascinated by the idea of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) to replicate human behaviour
and thinking into technology. Over time AI has evolved to
mimic human behaviour in information technology (IT)
with key milestones like machine learning, natural
language processing and understanding, generative AI
and orchestrating decision making and now the latest
advancement: agentic AI.
Today, AI is not just a technology but a critical
part of modern IT strategies. AI in the IT industry has been
a transformative force, automating tasks, analysing vast
amounts of data and improving operational processes. By
using AI for ITSM, organisations can adapt to a changing
technology landscape and complex digital environments
and keep their IT infrastructure future proof.
AI has come a long way from theory to software
to recent innovations like machine learning (ML). ML is
about developing AI algorithms and models that help
systems learn and make decisions based on patterns and
relationships in data. Instead of programming each decision
manually, systems can make decisions on their own based
on large amounts of data. Continuous learning on data
allows systems to get better over time. At the next level
is natural language processing (NLP), a branch of machine
learning that’s about interpreting human language and
generating intelligent and contextual responses. By using
ML algorithms on language, machines can do things
like response generation, speech recognition, language
translation and more. NLP is the foundation for modern
day chatbots that can understand user intent and generate
responses to user requests.
AI is revolutionizing ITSM by introducing innovative
solutions such as an AI service desk that enhances IT
operations. With automated ticket triaging, routing,
deflection, and process automation, organizations can
streamline tasks that IT agents encounter daily.
By providing agents with agent assist capabilities
and an AI Copilot, organizations can reduce redundant
and repetitive service tasks and improve productivity,
thereby minimizing the need for human intervention
in these repetitive tasks. With AIOps, organizations can
also stay ahead of potential incidents and outages with
proactive detection and remediation, as well as automated
incident management.
AI also plays a big role in software development
and testing. It helps quality assurance teams by generating
test cases and predicting defects. This means they can catch
and fix bugs much earlier which prevents bigger issues
down the line. When it comes to data center security,
computer vision is a powerful tool. It allows systems to
analyze images and videos to monitor infrastructure and
spot anything unusual. Additionally, machine learning
models can analyze network traffic in real time to detect
cyber threats and fraud and allow teams to respond quickly
and protect their systems.

English Should Not Be Taught Like It’s Physics:
Rethinking How We Teach Beginner Level Learners
Introduction
When teaching English to beginner-level learners, one of
the biggest mistakes we make is treating the language like
a set of scientific formulas to be memorized. In the
quintessential classroom of traditional, test-focused
educational systems, English is often taught as though it
were physics; it’s rigid, theoretical, and abstract. Language,
however, is a far cry from the aforementioned descriptions.
Language is dynamic, flexible, and has a certain “feel” to
it.
The problem with the “Physics” Approach
Picture this: you walk into a physics class and sit down.
Immediately, all sorts of theories, equations, and
vocabulary you’ve never heard before are being thrown at
you without any context. Doesn’t feel good, does it? That’s
how many beginner-level English learners feel. This
method relies heavily on grammar drills, vocabulary lists,
and some pretty unnatural textbook dialogues. Learners
may know the structure of the present perfect tense, but
they choke when asked, “How was your weekend?” Why? Because they’ve been trained to decode language
like a formula; not use it as a tool for expression.
What language really is
Language is instinctive. We don’t learn our first language
by studying grammar rules, but rather through interaction,
repetition, and real-life use. Babies don’t sit down with
textbooks in their lap. They listen, observe, repeat, and
gradually experiment; with zero fear of making mistakes.
This is how language sticks. For beginner-level learners,
especially adults, we need to replicate that natural process
as much as possible. The focus should shift from
knowledge about the language to using the language. There
should also be some emphasis on making sure the process
is enjoyable.
Rethinking success
We need to redefine what success looks like in beginner
English classes. It’s not about perfect grammar. It’s about
confidence, connection, and the ability to navigate simple
conversations. It’s about the listener’s ability to understand
what is being said by the speaker and vice-versa. I
remember when I’d tease my grandma for mispronouncing
words (for example, she’d say “brade” instead of “blade”),
and her retort would be, “You understood me though, didn’t
you?!”
It’s a win if a student can say, “I like sushi. You?” If they
can ask, “Where is the toilet?” when they’re pressed,
they’ve got more success than someone who has 50 verbs
memorized but can’t use them.
Conclusion
English is NOT physics. It’s not about solving problems on
paper; it’s about expressing thoughts and being understood,
building relationships and making life easier in an everchanging global world. If we want our students to thrive, as
well as keep being interested in improving and using
English long after moving on from our lessons together, we
need to stop treating the language like a set of scientific
formulas and start treating it like what it truly is: a human
skill.
Let’s make the classroom a space of interaction and
communication, not calculation.

they choke when asked, “How was your weekend?” Why? Because they’ve been trained to decode language
like a formula; not use it as a tool for expression.
What language really is
Language is instinctive. We don’t learn our first language
by studying grammar rules, but rather through interaction,
repetition, and real-life use. Babies don’t sit down with
textbooks in their lap. They listen, observe, repeat, and
gradually experiment; with zero fear of making mistakes.
This is how language sticks. For beginner-level learners,
especially adults, we need to replicate that natural process
as much as possible. The focus should shift from
knowledge about the language to using the language. There
should also be some emphasis on making sure the process
is enjoyable.
Rethinking success
We need to redefine what success looks like in beginner
English classes. It’s not about perfect grammar. It’s about
confidence, connection, and the ability to navigate simple
conversations. It’s about the listener’s ability to understand
what is being said by the speaker and vice-versa. I
remember when I’d tease my grandma for mispronouncing
words (for example, she’d say “brade” instead of “blade”),
and her retort would be, “You understood me though, didn’t
you?!”
It’s a win if a student can say, “I like sushi. You?” If they
can ask, “Where is the toilet?” when they’re pressed,
they’ve got more success than someone who has 50 verbs
memorized but can’t use them.
Conclusion
English is NOT physics. It’s not about solving problems on
paper; it’s about expressing thoughts and being understood,
building relationships and making life easier in an everchanging global world. If we want our students to thrive, as
well as keep being interested in improving and using
English long after moving on from our lessons together, we
need to stop treating the language like a set of scientific
formulas and start treating it like what it truly is: a human
skill.
Let’s make the classroom a space of interaction and
communication, not calculation.

English Should Not Be Taught Like It’s Physics:
Rethinking How We Teach Beginner Level Learners
Introduction
When teaching English to beginner-level learners, one of
the biggest mistakes we make is treating the language like
a set of scientific formulas to be memorized. In the
quintessential classroom of traditional, test-focused
educational systems, English is often taught as though it
were physics; it’s rigid, theoretical, and abstract. Language,
however, is a far cry from the aforementioned descriptions.
Language is dynamic, flexible, and has a certain “feel” to
it.
The problem with the “Physics” Approach
Picture this: you walk into a physics class and sit down.
Immediately, all sorts of theories, equations, and
vocabulary you’ve never heard before are being thrown at
you without any context. Doesn’t feel good, does it? That’s
how many beginner-level English learners feel. This
method relies heavily on grammar drills, vocabulary lists,
and some pretty unnatural textbook dialogues. Learners
may know the structure of the present perfect tense, but
they choke when asked, “How was your weekend?” Why? Because they’ve been trained to decode language
like a formula; not use it as a tool for expression.
