The Ringmaster's Advice
People say, "any publicity is good publicity" allthe
time. It's become a modern truism. But people don't seem
to give much thought to where it came from.
While there is no proof that he used exactly those
words, the quote is widely attributed to showman P.T.
Barnum. I think it's safe to say that even if he never said
"any publicity is good publicity," it describes his lived
ethos.
P.T. Barnum was the founder of the Barnum &
Bailey Circus, billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." He
advertised fake mermaids and a woman who claimed to
be George Washington's 161-year-old nurse. Barnum's
traveling shows featured midgets, Siamese twins, bearded
ladies, and even "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy."
There's no record of him saying these exact words
either, but he is also widely credited with the quote,
"there's a sucker born every minute."
P.T. Barnum did describe himself as the "Prince of
Humbug," proudly owning his reputation for hoaxes and
"harmless" deceptions.
Barnum was an interesting character, but he's not
a man we should be encouraging other men, especially
young men, to emulate. Unfortunately, his ethos is more
or less what social media has been teaching kids for the
past ten years.
And at the same time, everyone complains that
everything is "fake and ghey."
Well... if you follow the ringmaster's advice, don't
be surprised when you end up living in a circus.

in the phrase it describes his lived ethos,
the word ethos is an uncountable noun. With this in mind,
mark True (T) or False (F):
( ) The word ethos is uncountable because it refers to the guiding spirit, values, or character of a person, group, or culture.
( ) The word ethos names a general, continuous quality (a way of thinking/behaving).
( ) In the text, you could say two ethoses because it reÍers to an overarching spirit or attitude that applies to many people.
( ) The use of ethos is functional when the writer wants to talk about individual instances.
Which alternative CORRECTLY fills in the parentheses above?

Teacher Qualifications, Professionalism,
Competencies, and Benchmarks
To achieve professionalism, English language teachers
(both native English-speaking teachers [NESTs] and nonnative English-speaking teachers [NNESTs]) need to gain
competence in disciplinary content knowledge about the
nature of language, language learning, and language
teaching, as well as pedagogical content knowledge
regarding teaching strategies that they can use to make
their teaching contextually appropriate and effective.
Teachers also need to achieve the ability to use English
effectively for different purposes, and acquire knowledge
about English that gives them the skills to analyze and
explain the language. In addition, teachers need to engage
in reflective activities and classroom-based research as
part of developing teacher qualifications, in order to be
able to make a connection between these bodies of
knowledge and their practice and continue their
professional development. Benchmarks developed to
measure teachers' English language proficiency need to
reflect local needs and constraints as well as respond to the
role of English as a lingua franca.

During a grammar lesson, an English teacher corrected
recurring errors in students' written compositions,
explaining that certain English nouns — among them
information, furniture, advice, equipment and news — are
systematically misused by Brazilian learners who add plural
inflections or precede them with the indefinite article,
mirroring patterns from Portuguese. She clarified that
these nouns have no plural form, cannot be counted
directly, and require expressions such as "a piece of" when
quantity must be specified. These nouns belong to the
