China's domestic economy has faltered and is being sustained largely by a record trade surplus and strong exports from the technology and clean energy sectors.
Consumer spending remains weak, while much of the housing market is still in crisis. A five-year nationwide decline in apartment prices has wiped out much of the middle class's savings in a country where households typically hold about three-quarters of their assets in real estate.

A YouTuber has been banned for life from visiting all Six Flags parks after posting a viral video that appeared to show him eating chicken nuggets while riding one of the country’s most famous roller coasters.
The video, uploaded in May by content creator Allen Ferrell, shows him attempting to eat McDonald’s chicken nuggets while riding Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
The stunt quickly gained attention online, generating hundreds of thousands of views and prompting a response from park officials. The company said food and other loose items are prohibited on rides because they can create safety hazards.
“Safety is a cornerstone of our business, and we have zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior,” a Six Flags spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

‘He was not a hero’: How the dark, violent medieval origins of
Robin Hood were erased Robin Hood began as an oral tradition in the 12th Century before morphing into a heroic, family-friendly stereotype – here’s how new takes are restoring his dark side.
When writer and director Michael Sarnoski began shooting his new film, he showed the cast and crew one he has always loved. It was Disney’s 1973 animated Robin Hood, its hero a fox with a feather in his green cap, robbing the rich to give to the poor.
That beloved version could not be further from The Death of Robin Hood, Sarnoski’s dark, thoughtful drama. Hugh Jackman stars as a grey-haired, battle-weary Robin, reflective at the end of his life and acutely aware of his own legend.
When he encounters a woman who talks about the virtuous, justice-seeking Robin Hood, he denies who he is and speaks of himself in the third person. “He was not a hero. He robbed and killed for the joy of it, nothing more.”

English is perhaps the most widely-spoken, widely-taught and widely-researched language in the world. For these reasons, research centred on (varieties of) English1 has been fundamental to the development of sociolinguistics and related disciplines, as with many branches of linguistics and language sciences. From insight into the social stratification of linguistic variables (Labov), to understanding of the way in which language intertwines with social communities and identity (Eckert), via explorations as to how context is embedded in language (Gumperz), studies focusing on English have played a key role in shaping the questions, methods and concepts of sociolinguistics and other disciplines that adopt a social approach to researching language.
This dynamic shows no signs of abating and recent research has continued this exploration of English as a social practice, shedding light on the reciprocal influence between English and matters relating to gender (Eckert and McConnell-Ginet), sexuality (Ehrlich et al.), political resistance (Reisigl and Wodak), race (Makoni et al.), climate change (Flottum) and all nature of social, sanitary and/or economic crises (Piller et al.), to name but a few key areas of interest. In sum, English – whether as a first language, as a lingua franca (Mauranen and Ranta) or within multi- or plurilingual practices (Forlot) – is deeply intertwined with extremely diverse sociolinguistic configurations. Linguistically speaking, these different social contexts contribute profoundly to shaping all aspects of the genesis, evolution and variation of English (Glain). Seen from another angle, these same English(es) constitute social, cultural, ideological, identity, political, or sometimes even economic, resources (e.g. Heller; Eckert; Trudgill), deployed by speakers in any number of social contexts, to any number of social ends. [...]
1 In a quest for clarity, “English” is used in place of “(varieties of) English” from this point forward. However, all occurrences of “English” should be taken to include “(varieties of) English”.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet - Synopsis by William Shakespeare
The prologue of Romeo and Juliet calls the title characters “star-crossed lovers”—and the stars do seem to conspire against these young lovers.
Romeo is a Montague, and Juliet a Capulet. Their families are enmeshed in a feud, but the moment they meet—when Romeo and his friends attend a party at Juliet’s house in disguise—the two fall in love and quickly decide that they want to be married.
A friar secretly marries them, hoping to end the feud. Romeo and his companions almost immediately encounter Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who challenges Romeo. When Romeo refuses to fight, Romeo’s friend Mercutio accepts the challenge and is killed. Romeo then kills Tybalt and is banished. He spends that night with Juliet and then leaves for Mantua.
Juliet’s father forces her into a marriage with Count Paris. To avoid this marriage, Juliet takes a potion, given her by the friar, that makes her appear dead. The friar will send Romeo word to be at her family tomb when she awakes. The plan goes awry, and Romeo learns instead that she is dead. In the tomb, Romeo kills himself. Juliet wakes, sees his body, and commits suicide. Their deaths appear finally to end the feud.

The Multimodal Approach in English Language Teaching
In today’s media-rich environment, the vast majority of texts students engage with daily — such as YouTube videos, Instagram reels, TikTok clips, streaming series, video games and blog posts — are not only digital but also multimodal. These texts combine language with image, sound, movement and spatial design to convey meaning, often requiring learners to interpret and respond across multiple modes simultaneously. As digital technologies evolve, the pervasiveness and complexity of multimodal communication grow, reshaping both how we communicate and what it means to be literate.
Contemporary communication extends far beyond speech and writing; it is a layered, dynamic process that includes visual, aural, gestural and spatial elements. As such, literacy can no longer be understood solely as a linguistic skill. To participate fully in today’s social, academic and professional contexts, learners need more than the ability to read and write alphabetic text — they need to view, interpret, evaluate and represent meaning through a range of semiotic resources. In this context, traditional notions of literacy are insufficient and language education must evolve to reflect the multimodal nature of communication in the 21st century […]
Importantly, multimodal literacy also promotes accessibility and inclusion. Learners with reading difficulties, sensory impairments or diverse learning needs often struggle with traditional printbased instruction. Multimodal texts provide alternative pathways to meaning, allowing information to be accessed and expressed through visuals, sound, movement and space. This not only supports learners with special educational needs but benefits all students by offering multiple modes for engagement and expression. By embedding multimodal materials and encouraging students to compose multimodal texts, teachers create more equitable and inclusive classrooms. Multimodal learning reflects how people communicate in real life — and, crucially, supports the development of diverse literacies needed for participation in contemporary society.
In summary, integrating multimodal literacy into language teaching fosters deeper engagement, enhances learning outcomes and equips students with the skills to navigate and contribute meaningfully to today’s complex communicative landscape.
