Subordinate clauses, also known as dependent clauses, are introduced by subordinating conjunctions such as “although,” “because,” or “while.” These clauses provide additional information and cannot stand alone as complete sentences. Proficiency in using subordinate clauses enhances sentence complexity, enabling the conveyance of intricate relationships and details in American English.

What life in medieval Europe was really like


      A time of innovation, philosophy, and legendary works of art: the realities of the medieval period (500 to 1500 C.E.) in Europe may surprise you. Many know the years before the Renaissance and _________________ that followed as Europe’s “Dark Ages,” a time of backward, slovenly, and brutal people who were technologically primitive and hopelessly superstitious.

     Sure, it would take until the 19th century for the germ theory of disease to overtake the concept of humors and “miasmas” that could damage human health. But the ___________ image of medieval people as slovenly, unwashed, and lacking hygiene is false. In fact, both indoor and outdoor bathing were beloved in Europe. People not only made and used soap at home, but they frequented bathhouses—some public, some private, some merely fronts for brothels.

      A myth persists that during the Middle Ages, the unenlightened believed Earth was flat and worried that ships might even fall off the planet’s edge. That’s patently false: People knew the planet was a sphere as far back as ancient Greece (12th to 9th centuries B.C.), and had relatively complex astronomical and planetary ______________ by the time Christopher Columbus made his voyage to the Americas in 1492.

      The so-called “Dark Ages” is a myth historians have spent years trying to disprove. The myth seems to stem from some authors’ use of “dark” to refer to everything from a 14th-century poet’s complaints about the quality of local literature to a 17th-century historian’s failed attempt to find historical sources from centuries earlier.

Text 2A7

         Artificial intelligence (AI) is arguably the most rapidly advancing technology humans have ever developed. A year ago, you wouldn’t often hear AI come up in a regular conversation, but today it seems there’s constant talk about how generative AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E will affect the future of work, the spread of information, and more. A major question that has thus far been almost entirely unexamined is how this AI-dominated future will affect people’s minds.
           
           There’s been some research into how using AI in their jobs will affect people mentally, but there isn’t yet an understanding of how simply living amongst so much AI-generated content and systems will affect people’s sense of the world. How is AI going to change individuals and society in the not-too-distant future?

            AI will obviously make it easier to produce disinformation. That will affect people’s sense of trust as they’re scrolling on social media. AI can also allow someone to imitate your loved ones, which further erodes people’s general ability to trust what was once unquestionable.

Q2231441 Inglês
(§1º)Budelli Island is part of the La Maddalena Archipelago and is home to Spiaggia Rosa - a stretch of pink sand that's been protected by the Italian government since 1992.

(§2º)The pink shade is caused by the crushed shells of a micro-organism mixing with the sand when it dies. But when the beach started to lose its rose-tinted hue because of over-tourism, visitors were banned in a bit to protect the pink sand.

(§3º)The colour has since returned but a new wave of unauthorised daytrippers are threatening the pink shores. While it is strictly forbidden to step foot on the beach, holidaymakers are able to admire the pink sand from the safety of a boat. But according to one expert, some holidaymakers are flouting the ban.

(§4º)In an article in the Times, Fabrizio Fonnesu, director of the Maddalena archipelago national park said: "The beach is again in danger as people arrive by boat, clamber up the beach, then post photos, which allow us to fine them up to 500 euros (£430)."

(§5º)Tourists who've attempted to take Sardinia's pink sand away as a souvenir can up fined up to 3,500 euros (£3,007). And according to the Guardian, a couple were fined 1,000 euros (£860) in 2001 after they were caught filling a plastic bottle with sand.

(§6º)Brits who want to visit the island will need to book themself onto a private boat tour or a ferry service to glimpse this secluded spot from afar. Other beaches on the island have also brought in measures to minimise the impact of tourists. Only 1,600 people can visit Cala Sisine while Santa Maria Navarrese only permits 1,300 euros.

(§7º)Fewer still are able to visit Cala Mariolu, with only 550 people allowed in per day and each having to pay a 1 euro fee. Elsewhere, Pelosa Beach has banned towels and asked visitors to instead bring mats which gather less sand. Anyone visiting will have to pay 3.50 euros.

(§8º)Meanwhile, tourists wanting to visit the beaches of Cala Coticcio and Cala Brigantina in the archipelago of La Maddalena will have to pay 3 euros per person for access each day after new rules were brought in. The archipelago itself is a national park and only accessible with a guide, which will cost 25 euros for five hours.

(§9º)And anyone caught visiting the archipelago without a guide could face prosecution. Just 60 people will be permitted on each beach per day, as the local authorities look at ways to protect the sites from the impact of tourism.

(§10º)Slots must be booked in advance by contacting a local guide but it is hoped that an app will be launched soon. Here are several other pink beaches holidaymakers can visit across Europe - and one's in the UK. And a beach in the Canary Islands even has sand that looks like popcorn, due to the shape of the coral.

What is English as a Lingua Franca?

      ‘English’, as a language, has for some time been seen as a global phenomenon and, therefore, as no longer defined by fixed territorial, cultural and social functions. At the same time, people using English around the world have been shaping it and adapting it to their contexts of use and have made it relevant to their socio-cultural settings. English as a Lingua Franca, or ELF for short, is a field of research interest that was born out of this tension between the global and the local, and it originally began as a ramification of the World Englishes framework in order to address the international, or, rather, transnational perspective on English in the world. The field of ELF very quickly took on a nature of its own in its attempt to address the communication, attitudes, ideologies in transnational contexts, which go beyond the national categorisations of World Englishes (such as descriptions of Nigerian English, Malaysian English and other national varieties). ELF research, therefore, has built on World Englishes research by focusing on the diversity of English, albeit from more transnational, intercultural and multilingual perspectives.
      ELF is an intercultural medium of communication used among people from different socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and usually among people from different first languages. Although it is possible that many people who use ELF have learnt it formally as a foreign language, at school or in an educational institution, the emphasis is on using rather than on learning. And this is a fundamental difference between ELF and English as a Foreign Language, or EFL, whereby people learn English to assimilate to or emulate native speakers. In ELF, instead, speakers are considered language users in their own right, and not failed native speakers or deficient learners of English. Some examples of typical ELF contexts may include communication among a group of neuroscientists, from, say, Belgium, Brazil and Russia, at an international conference on neuroscience, discussing their work in English, or an international call concerning a business project between Chinese and German business experts, or a group of migrants from Syria, Ethiopia and Iraq discussing their migration documents and requirements in English. The use of English will of course depend on the linguistic profile of the participants in these contexts, and they may have another common language at their disposal (other than English), but today ELF is the most common medium of intercultural communication, especially in transnational contexts.
        So, research in ELF pertains to roughly the same area of research as English as a contact language and English sociolinguistics. However, the initial impetus to conducting research in ELF originated from a pedagogical rationale – it seemed irrelevant and unrealistic to expect learners of English around the world to conform to native norms, British or American, or even to new English national varieties, which would be only suitable to certain socio-cultural and geographical locations. So, people from Brazil, France, Russia, Mozambique, or others around the world, would not need to acquire the norms originated and relevant to British or American English speakers, but could orientate themselves towards more appropriate and relevant ways of using English, or ELF. Researchers called for “closing a conceptual gap” between descriptions of native English varieties and new empirical and analytical approaches to English in the world. With the compilation of a number of corpora, ELF empirical research started to explore how English is developing, emerging and changing in its international uses around the world. Since the empirical corpus work started, research has expanded beyond the pedagogical aim, to include explorations of communication in different domains of expertise (professional, academic, etc.) and in relation to other concepts and research, such as culture, ideology and identity.

Q2204596 Inglês

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder a questão.


(1º§) Arthritis and osteoporosis are long-term conditions that affect your bones. Arthritis causes swelling and inflammation. Osteoporosis develops as a result of decreased bone mass and density, and can lead to fractures.

(2º§) Jane Atkinson looks at ways to keep your bones and joints healthy. Regular, low-impact exercise can help in the battle against joint pain. Nuffield Health has launched a free joint pain programme to help sufferers lead a more independent life - and you don't even need to be a paying member of the gym to join up. As well as exercises, it offers lifestyle tips and uses relaxation techniques to try to help with pain so those affected can sleep.

(3º§) The programme, which lasts six months, has proven results. Of those who completed it, 69 per cent say they have improvements in mobility, pain, general fitness levels and overall quality of life. Among participants who were in such pain they couldn't work, 30 per cent were able to return after week 12. Working out what supplements you need and how much you need is not always easy.

(4º§) Osteo Complete is a bone health complex that includes calcium, vitamin D3, zinc, boron and copper. These elements work together to help maintain your musculoskeletal system, which supports the body and its movements. Vitamin D3 is crucial for the absorption of calcium. The minerals magnesium and zinc contribute to normal protein synthesis, while copper helps maintain connective tissues.

(5º§) These very tasty vanilla-flavoured tablets are a good alternative for people who do not like swallowing pills as you can chew them. 240 chewable tablets, £18.95, healthspan.co.uk.

(6º§) The world has gone mad for collagen. There are different types, but for bone health the best is Type I. It provides structure to your skin, bones, tendons and ligaments. The change is not instant. Take it regularly and it could take a year to achieve the full results, but if you are persistent it does work. I like Correxiko Marine Collagen Type I. It comes from the skin of deep-sea fish, caught off the coast of Canada.

(7º§) It is an unflavoured powder that you bung in water or a coffee. Lisa Snowdon says her menopausal and age-related aches and pains have gone since she started using it. £39.95 for a 42-day supply, correxiko.com.

Text 2 – Computers

(Text adapted from History of Computing. Retrieved from

https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~mitra/csFall2006/cs 303/lectures/history.html)


When you hear the term computers, it’s difficult to imagine different devices from a laptop or a small desktop. Believe it or not, they weren’t always like they are today. They used to be very large and heavy, sometimes as big as an entire room. Some technology professors historically define computers, as “a device that can help with computations”. The word computation involves counting, calculating, adding, subtracting, etc. The modern definition of a computer is a little wider, because in our day and age, computers store, compile, analyze and compute an enormous amount of information. Ancient computers were very interesting. Actually, the first computer may have been located in Great Britain, at Stonehenge. It is a man-made circle of large stones. Citizens used it to measure the weather and forecast the change of seasons. Some specialists say that another ancient computer is the abacus. It was used by the early Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians to count and calculate. Even though they are no longer in use, certainly, these early devices are fascinating. Computers are embedded in our history and some people say that we are completely dependent of them. No matter the complexity of the task, easy or difficult, some people can’t do anything without them. Do you contest or share this opinion? 

The formation-ing in "Computing involves counting a lot of data" is correct. Check the alternative that explains the -ing formation of 'counting'.
