Evaluate the following item with regard to the preceding text.
Never before have we had such easy access to languages
we do not speak. AI translation tools can convert German, French
or Japanese text into fluent English or Chinese in a matter of
seconds. For many, these tools are a vital part of everyday life.
Unfortunately, I have come to realise that the more these tools
advance, the less we feel the need to learn foreign languages.
There is a misconception behind this. These tools treat
languages as fixed channels that deliver the same information.
They assume that knowledge exists in a stable, language - independent form and that switching languages simply means
substituting one vocabulary for another.
This approach falls short. Languages are the key to human
cultures. Their vocabularies never completely overlap. Moreover,
languages use different methods to organise and pass on
knowledge. This linguistic repertoire shapes the way
communities communicate in specific situations, influencing how
they structure arguments, frame statements and define the roles
of author and audience. These patterns are learned. Similarly,
language communities often develop their own conventions to
convey authority, caution, criticism, belonging or respect.

It is possible to infer from the text that, in the author’s
opinion, the development of AI translation tools puts foreign
language learning at risk.

Evaluate the following item, which relates to the provided text and to new trends in English language teaching.
Dante, the Italian author, was sort of a linguistic Darwin.
He held a heretical theory. Europe’s languages, he thought, had
not been made in a single moment, in a biblical Babel, but had
evolved. With the care of a Victorian naturalist, he thus split
Europe’s languages into families by their words for "yes": those
who lived in southern France and said "oc" spoke a "Langue
d’oc".
He was spot-on. Four centuries later, a British judge and
polyglot called Sir William Jones arrived in Calcutta and was
struck by the similarities between Latin and Sanskrit words for
terms such as house (domus, dam) and god (deus, deva). Clearly
they had "sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no
longer exists". The world’s languages were not a Babel but a
brotherhood.
Proto, a new book by Laura Spinney, a journalist, offers a
biography of that brotherhood—or rather its parent. For Jones’s
"common source" now has a name: "Proto-Indo-European" (PIE).
It was first spoken by as little as a few dozen people around the
Black Sea then, roughly 5,000 years ago, spread with rapidity
"from Ireland to India". Today, its offshoots include Irish,
Hindi—and more or less everything in between. Almost half of
the world’s population speaks a descendant of it.
PIE is long dead, but traces of it remain caught, like
insects in amber, in modern languages, allowing academics to
bring it back to life. Scholars know, for example, its speakers
found visitors irritating: the PIE word "ghostis" gives English not
just "guest" but "ghost", and Latin its word for "host" but also
"enemy".
Internet: <https://www.economist.com>(Adapted)
The comparison between Dante and Darwin, made in the
first paragraph of the text, highlights the evolution aspect
present in the history of languages.

"its parent" in the third paragraph.

Evaluate the following item based on the preceding text.
It all started with some exasperated emails. Back in 2009,
a group of researchers began venting their frustration with the
programming languages designed to help scientists and other
researchers perform complex mathematical operations and
statistical simulations without learning how to code. These
programming languages were rigid and slow.
The emails turned into a research project at MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) with the mission of
building an easy-to-use, high-performance programming
language called Julia, which is designed for scientific research,
data analysis, and modeling complex systems such as jet engines,
drugs, financial markets, and robots, to name a few examples.
That research project turned into a lab at MIT, and the lab
turned into the company JuliaHub. Along the way, Julia gained a
loyal following among scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and
others. Today, the free and open-source language counts more
than 1 million users, including people working in thousands of
companies and universities around the world.
It is only a slight exaggeration to say Julia has been used
to model everything under the sun, from the behavior of tiny
atoms to semiconductors, neural networks, race cars, and
airplanes. It has also been used to study much beyond the sun,
with astronomers using Julia for imaging black holes.
Internet: <https://news.mit.edu> (Adapted).
The passage "It is only a slight exaggeration" (last
paragraph) is used to introduce an overstatement about the
programming language Julia, which is not actually capable
of modelling the behavior of tiny atoms.

the students in small groups so that they would prepare
questions in English in order to interview people in the
school and then report their findings to the whole class. It is
correct to state that the activity proposed by the teacher is an
example of a task-based language learning activity.

Considering the preceding text and reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and prediction, evaluate the following item.
How can education stay ahead in a world being
transformed by climate change, AI, inequality, conflict and
shifting labor markets?
Societies are being reshaped by powerful forces, such as
demographic change, technological transformation, climate and
environmental pressures, threats to peace and democracy,
disinformation, rising inequalities and polarization, and major
labor market transformations. These forces are already changing
how people learn, work, live and participate in society.
As
the
world undergoes rapid and profound
transformation, education systems cannot afford to only respond
to crises after they happen. They need to look ahead, anticipate,
and strategize. Foresight helps us do exactly that: it brings
together evidence, diverse perspectives and structured reflection
to identify the trends, risks and opportunities that could define the
future of education.
It
will
strengthen international, inter-sectoral and
inter-generational dialogue, helping ensure that the emerging
post-2030 education agenda reflects both expert insights and the
diverse realities and aspirations of young people.

It can be inferred from the ideas in the third paragraph of the
text that education systems should no longer respond to
crises once they have occurred.

Skimming would be the appropriate strategy to identify the
main purpose of the text, which is to discuss the need for
education systems to anticipate major transformations that
may affect education and society.
