Answer question according to TEXT V.
TEXT I –
The crisis of the new coronavirus made access to education difficult for black and poor students. In English teaching, it is necessary to consider issues that have already distanced this group from learning the language, such as: difficulty in accessing technology, lack of monitoring by a family member, black girls and housework and representativeness in English teaching.

If inequality was already a reality in Brazilian education, in 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic — with closed schools and the adoption of remote education — the situation worsened even more. The report by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), “Scenarios of School Exclusion in Brazil”, points out that, at the end of 2020, more than 5 million Brazilian students aged 6 to 17 were without access to schools.
Of this total, more than 40% were represented by children aged 6 to 10 years, an age group in which education was almost universal in the country before the crisis of the new coronavirus. In this scenario, young people from poor, black, brown and indigenous families were the most affected.
Another data, presented by PNAD Covid, a survey by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), points out the supply of materials for attending classes from home: among white students in elementary school, 89% received school activities in the pandemic, among black and brown students this percentage drops to 77%.
It is a worrying context and, based on this information, we can make a cut about the exclusion of black children and teenagers and even girls in education, more specifically in English teaching. What factors further hindered these students' access to knowledge of the language? What were the problems already faced in language learning before the pandemic?

How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Text 15A3
Life for researchers whose first language is not English may get quite hard. Many academics assume that their research students come to them fully formed, but every student has to learn the culture of their discipline. For those who don’t speak English as a first language, the challenge is especially daunting.
Mentors need to spend more time helping students to understand the conventions of scientific writing and the expectations of various journals. There’s an art to turning a PhD thesis into a journal article. Without guidance, a student will not be able to do it properly.
Institutions need to do a lot more to support and prepare international students. It’s not enough to hire a specialist in academic writing. Such specialists often have backgrounds in the humanities or social science, and students also need assistance from scientists who can help them to write for their specific disciplines.
I sympathize with students who are trying to learn English on top of everything else because I started out in life speaking another language. My family and I were refugees who fled Hungary during the revolution of 1956.
English speakers have become the gatekeepers of science. By keeping those gates closed, we’re missing out on a lot of perspectives and a lot of good research.
