Brazil Becomes the Second Nation After the U.S. to Top
300,000 COVID-19 Deaths
Brazil topped 300,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths on Wednesday, becoming the second country to do so amid a spike in infections that has seen the South American country report record death tolls in recent days.
The United States reached the grim milestone on Dec. 14, but has a larger population than Brazil.
On Wednesday, Brazil’s health ministry reported 2,009 daily COVID-19 deaths, bringing its pandemic total to 300,685. On Tuesday, the country saw a single-day record of 3,251 deaths.
According to local media reports, the latest coronavirus figures might be affected by changes in the government’s counting system. Newly appointed Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga said in a press conference that he was going to check whether the numbers had been artificially reduced.
With daily death tolls at pandemic highs, state governors and mayors in Brazil have expressed fears that April could be as bad as March for the country’s overwhelmed hospitals.
Just in the past 75 days, Brazil has registered 100,000 confirmed coronavirus deaths, a spike health experts blame on a lack of political coordination in fighting the virus, new variants that spread more easily and a disregard for health protocols.
President Jair Bolsonaro on Wednesday held a meeting with the heads of other government branches to coordinate anti-virus efforts. But he didn’t propose any policies to deal with the pandemic.
Bolsonaro has consistently downplayed the severity of the pandemic, insisting the economy must be kept humming to prevent worse hardship, and he has criticized health measures imposed by local leaders.

The Prepositional Verbs
In English, many verbs are followed by prepositions and adverbs. In some cases these combinations are called ‘phrasal verbs’, while in other cases they are prepositional verbs. What’s the difference? Read on to find out more.
A prepositional verb is a verb that is followed by a preposition. The meaning of these two words together is usually very similar to the original meaning of the verb.
While the meaning of a phrasal verb is often different to the original meaning of the main verb, the meaning of a prepositional verb is usually the same as the main verb. Phrasal verbs also use adverbs as well as prepositions, whereas prepositional verbs do not.

Teaching (English) in Multicultural Classes
When a person brought up in one culture finds himself in another and different one, his reaction may be anger, frustration, fright, confusion. When, at the same time, he has to learn a foreign language and conduct his academic studies in this language, the reaction may be stronger because he is faced with many unknown simultaneously. Until the threat is removed, the learning process is blocked.
Teachers can help the negative cultural shock to become
cultural and self-awareness of the learner. This way he
can bridge the gap - the distance as perceived which is
never actual distance. It is easier with children who are
never strong culture bound, having fewer worldviews
and set norms.
Every community has its own distinctive culture setting of norms and understandings which determine their attitude and behaviour. However the individuals are often not or not explicitly aware of their own culture.
