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.

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 grammatical category of:
