Read thoroughly to answer the following question.

    Had the great pleasure of introducing my 14-year-old son to one of my favorite movies tonight. I saw SCREAM five times when it was released theatrically in 1996. I was a freshman in college and working part-time at my hometown movie theater, Cineplex Odeon in Bowie, Maryland, and I remember loving it so much that I would sometimes spend my 15-minute breaks in the back of the theater just to admire the filmmaking.
   The movie absolutely knocked the wind out of me in '96, and I'm pleased to report that it still works beautifully for me today.
    SCREAM is a riff on the high-school slasher film, where a group of friends are picked off one-by-one by a masked killer. The difference is that both the killer and the intended victims are aware of (and in some cases well-versed in) the very movies that created this genre, and try to use those tropes as a means of attack, or a way to survive. This kind of meta-genre deconstruction was pretty revolutionary in 1996, but SCREAM succeeds at being an exceptional slasher film even as it takes the genre apart, and that is truly miraculous to behold.
    Kevin Williamson's script is crackling with wit, humor, and deep respect and love for the genre. Craven's direction is fluid, confident, and full of brilliant misdirection – it feels like watching close-up magic, and his slight of hand is balanced with some truly inspired set pieces and beautiful cinematography. The cast is wonderful, and I found myself smiling about just how affectionately I remember these characters. When the movie started, I didn't think “oh there's Neve Campbell, and there's Matt Lillard” – I was thinking “There's Sid, there's Stu.”
    It's easy to forgot how revolutionary and astonishing the iconic opening sequence was, and I marvel now at the extended party set-piece, which takes up almost the entirety of the second half of the film. Just wonderful stuff.
     SCREAM is a gleeful, brilliant deconstruction of the genre itself, breaking it apart with profound respect and love, and celebrating the very tropes it is exposing. There's a reason it had such impact on release, and that the franchise is still finding some fuel in the tank nearly three decades later. It's also a time capsule of the late 90's, and reminds me so much of my youth – I grinned when the sheriff asks Billy Loomis “Why do you have a cellular telephone, son?” This was, at the time, not an unreasonable question. It's a different world, but horror still works just as well.
     If I would have told my 18 year-old self that someday I'd work with (and become great friends with) Matthew Lillard, enjoy meals and social deduction games with Kevin Williamson, and have a relaxed, casual dinner with Neve Campbell... I frankly would never have believed it. I've now gotten to personally thank those artists for the impact this film had on me, and that in and of itself only further blurs the lines between movies and reality – a sensation I faintly felt watching NEW NIGHTMARE in 1994, and felt completely with SCREAM. What a wild world this is.
    This movie was formative for me, and changed the way I looked at what was possible in the genre. I loved it when I was 18, and I loved it tonight. And, my son also loved it... so a great evening all around.

Q3128396 Inglês
Linguistic variation refers to the differences in language use across different regions, social groups, or contexts. In the context of English language teaching, especially in countries like Brazil, where English is a foreign language, incorporating linguistic variation plays a crucial role in developing students' communicative competence. English is not a monolithic language; it has many varieties, including British,American,Australian, Indian, and Nigerian English, among others. Each variety is associated with different accents, vocabulary, grammar, and cultural contexts.
One challenge in English language teaching is the overemphasis on certain "standard" forms of English, often British or American, to the exclusion of other varieties. This can lead to a narrow understanding of the language and limit students' ability to interact in global contexts where English is spoken in diverse forms. By exposing students to different accents, dialects, and usages, teachers can prepare them for real-world communication, where English functions as a global lingua franca. This approach also promotes linguistic tolerance and awareness, teaching students that no variety is inherently superior to another, but that different varieties serve different communicative purposes.
For example, a Brazilian student learning British English may encounter challenges when interacting with a Nigerian English speaker due to different pronunciations and expressions. Thus, it's important that students not only learn the grammatical structure of English but also develop the ability to adapt to and understand different varieties of English. This adaptability enhances their global communication skills.
Additionally, the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) encourages teaching English as a means of fostering global citizenship  and intercultural communication, which implicitly requires an understanding of linguistic variation. Recognizing English as a plural language, with many forms and functions, aligns with the goal of preparing students for global engagement.

Call Me Libertad
Some of the things we see are apples with worms,
Maggots, expired juices, and other badly spoiled food.
Others are denied basic care, like fever or cold medicine.
The medical department solution?
“Drink a lot of water.”
Every day we wonder who will be deported next.
Every morning we look around for our friends.
We make sure they are still here.
Those who are deported are taken at the wee hours,
Setting that fear among us as if we were kids afraid of the dark.
While we wait behind these walls, all we can do is watch.
Watch all that we've worked for all these years go down in flames.
And our families?
They are scattered, living with relatives.
And our children?
They ask and wonder, “When is Daddy coming home?”
We don't ask for much. Just for liberty and justice for all.

Generation y or the millennials: digital natives

  The revolution was shaped by the millennials or generation Y. Also known as digital natives, millennials are those born between 1982 and 1994 and technology is part of their everyday lives: all their activities are mediated by a screen. The concept of on and off is completely integrated into their lives. However, they were not born into it; they migrated to the digital world from the analogue one in which they were living.

   Unlike previous generations, because of the economic crisis, the world requires them to be better trained to get a job, as competition is increasing. Unlike their parents, Generation X, digital natives are not satisfied with the world around them and are ambitious and want to achieve their goals.

    However, the millennial generation is labelled as being lazy, narcissistic and spoilt. In fact, in 2014, Time magazine labelled them as the me-me-me generation.

Is AI the future of education in the South East?
27 May 2024 - Jacob Panons, BBC News, South East
“Artificial intelligence (AI) in education was once just considered a tool used by pupils to help write their essays, but schools themselves in the South East are beginning to harness the technology too.

A West Sussex boarding prep school now has an AI head teacher acting as a "co-pilot" with the school's human leader Tom Rogerson.

Cottesmore School has also allowed students to design their perfect tutor using the technology.

The government has said AI has the power to "transform education".


- How AI is being used

Some schools in the South East have used the technology to help with formatting worksheets, but the AI head teacher was brought in to give advice on issues such as how to support teachers and staff members, as well as ways to help children with additional needs.

Mr Rogerson, head teacher at Cottesmore School, said: "It's there for advice and to clarify thoughts and as a sounding board."

On top of this the AI tutors were adopted so students could ask questions when one-on-one time with their teachers was not available.

The school in Pease Pottage, which educates children aged eight to 13, also set up the "my future school" project, where children design their perfect imaginary school with the help of AI.

         AI has also been incorporated into lessons in Turner Schools in Folkestone, Kent, to teach students about how to use it responsibly.”

"The Road Not Taken"
By Robert Frost (1916)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted
wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
In the line “And looked down one as far as I could,” from TEXT I, the word "as" is functioning as:
