RUN TO THE HILLS
Iron Maiden

White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes; he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need

We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came, too much for
Cree Oh, will we ever be set free?

Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children and cowards, attack!

Run to the hills
Run for your lives

Soldier blue in the barren wastes

Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and
wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

In 1972 a British linguist, D. A. Wilkins, proposed a functional or communicative definition of language that could serve as a basis for developing communicative syllabuses for language teaching. Wilkins’s contribution was an analysis of the communicative meanings that a language learner needs to understand and express. Rather than describe the core of language through traditional concepts of grammar and vocabulary, Wilkins attempted to demonstrate the systems of meanings that lay behind the communicative uses of language. He described two types of meanings: notional categories (concepts such as time, sequence, quantity, location) and categories of communicative function (requests, denials, offers, complaints).

Proponents of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) see it as an approach that aims to (a) make communicative competence the goal of language teaching and (b) develop procedures for the teaching of language skills that acknowledge the interdependence of language and communication. Its comprehensiveness thus makes it different in scope and status from any of the earlier traditions in language teaching. There is no single text or authority on it, nor any single model that is universally accepted as authoritative. What is essential in all of them is that at least two parties are involved in an interaction of some kind where one party has an intention and the other party expands or reacts to the intention.

Text 4 to answer questions 41 and 42.


1____Goiás testifies to the occupation and colonization of

the lands of central Brazil in the 18th and 19th centuries. It

was the first officially recognized urban core, the first

4 borough to be planned West of the demarcation line of the

Treaty of Tordesillas that defined the boundaries of the

Portuguese possessions. The origins of the town of Goiás

7 are closely related to the history of the expeditions

(bandeiras), which left from São Paulo to explore the

interior of the Brazilian territory. The town was established

10 in 1727 and flourished during the colonial-era gold rush

11 period.
