Leia o trecho, extraído do romance Mrs Dalloway, de Virginia Woolf. "Look," she repeated.
Look the unseen bade him, the voice which now communicated with him who was the greatest of mankind, Septimus, lately taken from life to death, the Lord who had come to renew society, who lay like a coverlet, a snow blanket smitten only by the sun, for ever unwashed, suffering for ever, the scape-goat, the eternal sufferer, but he did not want it, he moaned, putting from him with a wave of his hand that eternal suffering, that eternal loneliness. "Look," she repeated, for he must not talk aloud to himself out of doors. "Oh look," she implored him. But what was there to look at? A few sheep. That was all. WOOLF, Virginia. Mrs Dalloway. San Diego: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1981. P.44

Round Up: New William Hodgson Editions

    The British Library's Tales of the Weird series has arguably been leading the charge in the mainstream reissuing of classic and obscure weird works, issuing thoughtfully curated collections on a near-monthly basis since July 2018. At time of writing, there have been over 60 volumes released under this imprint, with many more lined up.
    Not only was a collection of William Hope Hodgson's short stories an early inclusion (The Weird Tales of William Hope Hodgson, April 2019), but Hodgson is unique in having had two of his novels issued in the same line The House on the Border/and (October 2023) and The Níght Land (May 2024), both with an introduction by Ann VanderMeer. Only a handful of novels have been published in the Tales of the Weird series (the vast majority oÍ volumes are short story collections), so it is remarkable that two of WHH's novels have been chosen for inclusion.
    Penguin books have recently gotten in on the action, launching their own Penguin Weird Fiction range in October last year. Five books were published simultaneously - Hodgson's The House on the Borderland again being included - all with cover art "inspired by 1970s Penguin genre paperbacks". This isn't the first time Borderland has been published by Penguin: it was included as part of their (seemingly inconsistently labelled) Red Classics / Gothic Classics series back in 2008. At any rate, it's great to see Hodgson back in print with such a high profile publishing house.

To answer question, read the text below.


The Language of Performance

    Well, the word “performative” is generally meant as an insult. It’s meant to trivialize and indicate that someone is play-acting or “faking it.” It suggests that someone is only doing something to be seen doing it, and not because it represents a sincere interest or enjoyment.


    This is one of those situations in which metaphors are overextended, and language distorts rather than describes natural human behavior. It is normal for our species for men and women to “perform” acts to impress both our own sex and the opposite sex. Males and females have different sex “roles,” and we “perform” acts to satisfy those roles.


    The language seems to “portray” us as “actors performing roles” and implies that we are all essentially “lying” or “faking.” This is the kind of wordcel wordtrap that lends itself to Marxist gender theory ideology and postmodernist thinking.


    “Nothing is real, everything is fake. Everything is a performance.”


    That’s a frame, but it isn’t the whole picture.


    Men are primates. We imitate each other. Monkey see, monkey do. And yes, we do things to try to impress each other. You can frame that in a way that seems trivial or superficial, but it is also foundational to human nature and social hierarchy.

( ) It is implying sincerity, synonymous with pretending or acting truly.


( ) It is a compound noun.

        The changes to Earth’s natural patterns reveal an interconnected web of ecological systems that are undergoing profound changes beyond what many researchers have predicted. Scientists say the culprit is clear: Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relentless burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas has been adding heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere, leading to a sharp rise in global temperatures. The hottest year in recorded history was 2024, and each of the 10 warmest years on record have come in the past decade. Since 1997, when nations agreed to limit planet-warming gases as part of the landmark Kyoto Protocol, humanity has released more greenhouse gases than in all prior history. The temperature rise associated with the growing volume of heattrapping gas has kicked in, and it is continuing to rise. And at the same time, the ability of the planet’s natural systems to absorb planet-warming gases like carbon dioxide appears to be diminishing.

When the Classroom Goes Online

Over the past decade, the English classroom has changed more than it had in the previous hundred years. Mobile phones, social networks, artificial intelligence tools and online platforms are now part of students’ daily lives, and the teaching of English can no longer ignore this reality.

However, the use of technology in language education is not a matter of simply replacing books with screens. What truly matters is how these resources are used. A video, a message exchange, a podcast or an online discussion only become educational when they are integrated into meaningful learning situations, connected to students’ experiences and guided by clear pedagogical objectives.

Teachers who understand this shift no longer see themselves as the only source of knowledge. Instead, they act as mediators who help learners build meaning, develop autonomy and reflect on language use in real communicative contexts. This perspective is strongly supported by the principles of the Brazilian National Common Core (BNCC), which emphasizes the social and functional use of language.

In this sense, learning English is not just about memorizing structures or rules. It involves interpreting texts, negotiating meaning, expressing identity and participating in global conversations. When the classroom goes online, it does not lose its educational role — it expands it.

Q3801342 Inglês
Os 'Phrasal verbs', unidades semânticas compostas por um verbo e uma ou mais partículas (preposição ou advérbio), são intrinsecamente idiomáticos, sendo que seu significado raramente pode ser deduzido pela soma dos significados de seus componentes individuais. A aquisição de 'phrasal verbs' por falantes não nativos exige, portanto, memorização extensiva e exposição contextualizada, sem a possibilidade de aplicação de regras gramaticais preditivas para a inferência de sentido, o que os torna um desafio particular no ensino de inglês.
