READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION
Social Dimensions of Climate Change
Extreme weather events are deeply intertwined with global
patterns of inequality. The poorest and most vulnerable people
bear the brunt of climate change impacts yet contribute the least
to the crisis. As the impacts of climate change mount, millions of
vulnerable people face disproportionate challenges in terms of
loss of jobs; physical harm; disease; mental health effects; food
insecurity; access to water; migration and forced displacement;
loss of shelter, assets, and community ties, and other related risks.
Some people are more vulnerable to climate change than others.
For example, workers in sectors such as agriculture, fishing, and
tourism rely on natural resources that are particularly sensitive to
increasingly unpredictable weather and seasonal patterns.
Female-headed households, children, persons with
disabilities, Indigenous Peoples and ethnic minorities, landless
tenants, migrant workers, displaced persons, older people, and
other socially marginalized groups often have fewer financial and
other resources to cope with and recover from shocks which might
threaten their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their families. The
root causes of their vulnerability lie in a combination of their
geographical locations; their financial, socio-economic, cultural,
and social status; and their access to resources, services, and
decision-making power.
The poor are often not just among the most vulnerable to climate
change, but also disproportionately impacted by measures to
address it. These impacts can include increased costs of living, loss
of livelihoods, and limited access to resources and support
systems, which exacerbate existing inequalities and poverty
trends. In the absence of well-designed and citizen-centered
policies, efforts to tackle climate change can have unintended
consequences for the livelihoods of certain groups, including
placing a higher financial burden on poor households […].
While much progress has been made on the science and the types
of policies needed to support a transition to low carbon, climateresilient development, a challenge facing many countries is
engaging citizens who are concerned that they will be unfairly
impacted by climate policies. Citizen-centered programs play a
vital role in ensuring that resources are used efficiently. Engaging
people in shaping climate action is equally critical for achieving
lasting impact. This means ensuring transparency, access to
information, and active citizen engagement on climate risks and
green growth. Such involvement can help build public support to
reduce climate impacts, overcome behavioral and political barriers
to decarbonization, as well as foster both new ideas and a sense of
ownership over solutions.
Moreover, communities bring unique perspectives, skills, and a
wealth of knowledge to the challenge of strengthening resilience
and addressing climate change. They should be engaged as
partners in resilience-building rather than being regarded merely
as beneficiaries. Research and experience show that community
leaders can successfully set priorities, influence ownership, as well
as design and implement investment programs that are responsive
to their community’s own needs. A 2022 report by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognizes the
value of diverse forms of knowledge — such as scientific,
Indigenous, and local knowledge — in building climate resilience.
Innovations in the architecture of climate finance can connect
communities and marginalized groups to the policy, technical, and
financial assistance that they need for locally relevant and
effective development outcomes.

Sociocultural Elements of English-Speaking
Countries
English-speaking countries share the same global
language, but each one has unique cultural traditions,
values, and social practices.
In the United Kingdom, traditions such as afternoon
tea, the monarchy, and historical festivals like Guy
Fawkes Night highlight the country’s strong connection to its past.
In the United States, cultural diversity plays an essential role, with influences from Indigenous peoples,
immigrants from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. National celebrations such as Independence
Day reflect the importance placed on freedom and
citizenship.
Canada is known for its bilingual identity, with English
and French as official languages. Canadian culture
emphasizes respect for nature, multiculturalism, and
winter sports.
Australia values outdoor lifestyles, with activities like
surfing and camping. Its culture includes traditions
from Indigenous Aboriginal peoples, as well as
influences from British colonization.
Although these countries share the English language,
their cultural identities are shaped by history, geography, and social values, making each nation unique.

semi-fixed expressions known as binomials. Analyze the

Pedagogical Practice in English as a Second Language
Teaching English as a second language involves creating meaningful opportunities for learners to use the language in real and purposeful contexts. Effective pedagogical practice includes the integration of speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities that reflect authentic communication. Teachers often adopt communicative approaches, encouraging students to interact, express opinions, and solve problems using English.
Another key aspect of ESL teaching is the use of diverse resources, such as videos, songs, digital tools, and real-life materials. These elements help students connect classroom learning with everyday language use. Additionally, good practice involves formative assessment, in which the teacher constantly observes learners’ progress, provides feedback, and adjusts activities according to their needs. In this way, ESL teachers promote not only language development but also learners’ confidence and autonomy.
Analyze the following sentences according to
vocabulary use.
1. The underline words in paragraph 1 from text 2 meaningful and purposeful, are, respectively noun suffixes.
2. The ( ‘ ) in constantly observes learners’ progress, provides feedback, is being used to form the possessive case of a plural noun.
3. In the sentence provides feedback, and adjusts activities according to their needs, the word their, refers to activities.
4. In the sentence ESL teachers promote not only language development but also learners’ confidence and autonomy, the not only / but also construction is used to connect two similar, grammatically equal parts of a sentence.
Choose the alternative which presents all the correct sentences.

How Long Does It Take to Get Fit Again?
When it comes to cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength, the adage is true: Use it or lose it. While regular exercise can improve heart health and increase strength and mobility, taking weeks or months off can reverse many of those benefits.
That’s not to say that rest days are not important. In general, short breaks can help you physically and mentally recharge, but whenever possible, you should avoid extending your time off for too long so that hopping back on the wagon doesn’t feel too daunting or miserable.
“Your body adapts to the stimulus you provide,” said Dr. Kevin Stone, an orthopedic surgeon and the author of the book “Play Forever: How to Recover From Injury and Thrive.” “Your muscles become used to the stress and the testosterone, the adrenaline and endorphins — all the wonderful things that circulate from exercise. When you take that away, the body initiates a muscle loss program.”
