Teachers
by Kevin William Huff
Teachers
Paint their minds
and guide their thoughts
Share their achievements
and advise their faults
Inspire a Love
of knowledge and truth
As you light the path
Which leads our youth
For our future brightens
with each lesson you teach
Each smile you lengthen
Each goal you help reach
For the dawn of
each poet each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher
And the wisdom they bring.

Educational attainment (Part I)

Highly-educated individuals are less affected by unemployment trends, typically because educational attainment BLANK II (make) an individual more attractive in the workforce. Lifetime earnings also increase with each level of education attained.
Furthermore, the skills needed in the labour market are becoming more knowledge-based. This shift in demand has made an upper secondary degree, or high-school degree, the minimum credential for finding a job in almost all The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. High-school graduation rates therefore provide a good indication of whether a country is preparing its students to meet the minimum requirements of the job market.
On average, about 79% of adults aged 25-64 within the OECD have completed upper secondary education. In 33OECD countries and the Russian Federation, 60% or more of the population aged 25 to 64 has completed at least upper secondary education. In some countries, the opposite is true: in Colombia, Mexico and Turkey, 57% or more of the population aged 25 to 64 have not completed upper secondary education. Women are, however, more likely to complete a tertiary or university degree than men in most OECD countries, a reversal of the historical pattern. On average across OECD countries, 42% of women aged 25-64 attain a tertiary education compared with 35% of men.

Best language learning apps in 2024, tested by our editors
By Wayne Rash, CNN Underscored

1. If you’re traveling soon to a place where you don’t know the language well (or at all), then you’ll want to download a language learning app to your smartphone before you embark on your journey. These apps can help you whether you’re on your latest family vacation, an unforgettable trip with friends or even a honeymoon.
2. “I always advise clients who book trips with us to use a language learning app if they don’t already know the language where they’re going. I’ve done it myself on my vacations,” says travel agent Liz Harnos, co-owner of Burr Travel, a Northport, New York-based travel agency. “These apps can help you learn enough that you’ll be able to order food, ask for directions and other basic things during your trip.”
3. Even if you have no travel plans in the near future and you just want to learn a new language for your own betterment, then using a language learning app on your smartphone or laptop can be the right choice for you. To find the best one, we tested five candidates over the course of five weeks. On our list were the premium (i.e., paid) versions of Babbel, Busuu Premium Plus, Memrise, Rosetta Stone and Super Duolingo. We tested each of them for easy of setup, design and features.
4. We learned two important things during testing: 1) some of the apps are easier to use than others, and 2) these apps can teach you the basics for up to 38 different languages, depending on the app. When all our testing was done, we found that Rosetta Stone emerged as the winner because of its easy-to-use design and the way it presented its lessons in the most logical manner.

Complete the following sentence with the correct modal verb:
If I had the money, I ____ buy a new car.
In our modern world, there are many factors that place the wellbeing of the planet in jeopardy. While some people have the opinion that environmental problems are just a natural occurrence, others believe that human beings have a huge impaction the environment. Regardless of your viewpoint, take into consideration the following factors that place our environment as well as the planet Earth in danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major contributing factor to environmental damage. Because of
global warming, we have seen an increase in melting
ice caps, a rise in sea levels, and the formation of new
weather patterns. These weather patterns have caused
stronger storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of excessive
and unregulated emissions of carbon dioxide into the
air. Pollutants mostly emerge ____________the burning_________fossil fuels______ addition __________ chemicals, toxic substances, and improper waste disposal.
Air pollutants are absorbed into the atmosphere, and
they can cause smog, a combination of smoke and
fog, in valleys as well as produce acidic precipitation in
areas far away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments do not
sustainably use their natural resources. Mining for
natural gases, deforestation, and even improper use of
water resources can have tremendous effects on the
environment. While these strategies often attempt
to boost local economies, their effects can lead to oil
spills, interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on the
environment can lead to many problems. Human
beings need to consider the repercussions of their
actions, trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials
while establishing environmentally sustainable habits.
If measures are not taken to protect the environment,
we can potentially witness the extinction of more
endangered species, worldwide pollution, and a completely uninhabitable planet.
