TEXTO III
Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded to 3 Scientists for Exploring the Nanoworld1
Three pioneering scientists, Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus, and Alexei I. Ekimov, have been honored with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work on quantum dots, which are semiconductor particles small enough to significantly alter their electron behavior. These quantum dots, comprising only a few thousand atoms, have applications ranging from enhancing LED lights to potential advancements in solar cells and quantum information encryption.
Semiconductors, essential in powering our modern electronics, traditionally consist of large molecular-level crystals. However, quantum dots are vastly smaller. To provide perspective, the Nobel Foundation likened the size difference between a quantum dot and a soccer ball to that between a soccer ball and the Earth.
These nanoscale dots are now utilized in LED lights to refine color and in televisions to improve resolution. Additionally, they hold potential in the biomedical field, such as in cancer tissue removal. Despite initial skepticism regarding the feasibility of creating such __________________ minuscule particles, this year’s laureates prevailed. Their achievement, particularly Bawendi’s method for crafting specific size, highquality nanoparticles, has propelled technological applications like QLED screens and various imaging in biochemistry and medicine.
However, the announcement of this year's laureates was surrounded by unusual circumstances. Before the official statement from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Swedish media sources leaked the information, citing an email mistakenly sent early from the Academy.
About the winners: Dr. Bawendi, a professor at MIT and a former postdoc under Dr. Brus, was born in France. Dr. Brus, a professor emeritus at Columbia University, was born in the U.S. Dr. Ekimov, once the chief scientist at Nanocrystals Technology in New York, was born in the former Soviet Union.
Their achievements in the realm of nanotechnology have enabled the exploration of distinct properties of extremely small matter, and have had profound implications in various technological domains. Their efforts in the 1980s, which led to the creation of quantum dots, needed further refinement before technological applications could be realized. Their work is regarded as monumental in bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications. According to the American Chemical Society’s president, Judith Giordan, their discoveries are not just of academic interest but aim to benefit humanity at large.
Upon winning the prize, Dr. Bawendi expressed surprise and honor, emphasizing the significance of sharing the award with his mentor, Dr. Brus. Other notable winners this year include Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their contributions to Covid-19 vaccine development in the Physiology or Medicine category, and Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier in Physics.

TEXTO II
"Dance the Night"
Dua Lipa
Baby, you can find me under the lights
Diamonds under my eyes
Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just
Come along for the ride?
Oh, my outfit so tight
You can see my heartbeat tonight
I can take the heat, baby, best believe
That's the moment I shine
'Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Watch me dance, dance the night away
My heart could be burnin', but you won't see it on
my face
Watch me dance, dance the night away (uh-huh)
I'll still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place (place)

TEXT I
The teaching of the English language in contemporary settings is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. With globalization and the dissolution of geographical barriers, English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching has gained paramount importance. This growth is spurred not only by the desire to engage in international trade or diplomacy but also due to the pervasiveness of English in international media, arts, and technology.
In response, ESL teachers strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that acknowledges the diverse backgrounds and needs of their students. The primary goal is to foster communicative competence, which goes beyond mere linguistic knowledge. It encompasses cultural understanding, pragmatic abilities, and the aptitude to navigate various social situations.
Modern technology plays a pivotal role in this. With digital tools, students can have a more immersive learning experience. Virtual reality, for instance, can transport students to Englishspeaking countries, offering real-world situational practice. Apps and online platforms provide interactive exercises, enhancing vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation skills. These tools, however, are most effective when coupled with a human touch — the nuanced guidance, motivation, and support that only a dedicated teacher can provide.
