The cock is crowing,
TEXT A
Written in March
The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter,
The green field sleeps in the sun;
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!
Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;
The ploughboy is whooping-anon-anon
There’s joy in the mountains;
There’s life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone!
By: William Wordsworth
Vocabulary: Hath = has; doth = does; fare ill = to do badly;
ploughboy = a country boy; whooping = cry of joy; anon = soon
The superlative forms ‘oldest’, ‘youngest’ and ‘strongest’ in

Earth on its way to the ICU
There’s no way to deny it anymore. It has been proven through a report
from the UN (United Nations) that, yes, it was man who made the Earth sick. And
even if now the world, diagnosed, decides to reduce the damage that our
presence here causes (which is not very likely) and decides to promote an
extreme change in the economical structures, the Earth, still at that, will have its
fever raised in 1.1◦C this century. Is that bad? But it is still bearable. Now if nothing
is done, the world must prepare for a new class of refugees: the climatic. A heating
of up to 6◦C would be forecasted. To have an idea, the Earth was only 5◦C colder
in the Ice Age, which put an end to the Dinosaur Age. If the “dinos” couldn’t handle
the shock, who’d think the humans would. Humans?
It is most probable, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Changes, that the Earth will be warmed 3◦C, which will cause phenomena such as
thawing, hurricanes, droughts and tempests. The sea level, according to the
report, may rise between 18 and 59 centimeters, making cities below sea level
disappear.
In Brazil, the greatest impact would be on the Northeast, which could
become a semi-desert. The Amazon would suffer due to lack of rain, affecting the
entire rainforest, losing biodiversity. On the other hand, the intensity of the rain
would impact the South-east. To the UN, The world must do the impossible to
stagnate the intensity of the fever, so that the temperature increase does not
exceed 2◦C. The warning has been given.

TEXT
One reason growth forecasts for rich
nations are so grim is the common assumption
that birth rates are falling. Fewer people will
produce less income, and shrinking economies.
Only the assumption of aging populations may be
wrong, according to a recent report by Goldman
Sachs that looks at key demographic trends for
the 21st century.
Since bottoming out in 2001, fertility
rates in a number of developed economies have
actually been on the rise. Among rich economies,
the jump is most pronounced in places like the
United Kingdom, France, Spain, and the U.S.
Larger immigrant populations in these nations
have something to do with this, as they tend to
have more children. Yet the effect is only short
term, as migrants adopt the fertility rates of their
new homes within a generation or so.
Goldman’s new analysis shows that
another reason for the unexpected jump, and one
that will play a bigger role in the future, is that women in rich countries have been having
children later and later in life, something that
traditional economic models don’t account for.
Standard estimates of fertility are still tabulated
assuming that most women are having children in
their early 20s, rather than late 20s or even 30s
and 40s, as has become more common in rich
countries with lots of women in the workforce. “In
parts of Europe (this method of calculation) has
probably understated true fertility by about 15 to
20 percent,” notes Goldman Sachs economist
Peter Berezin.
Those are big numbers, with potentially
very significant ramifications. For starters, it could
be that some of the problems faced by aging
nations with shrinking tax bases (like, for
example, overblown health-care spending,
crumbling infrastructure, and budget shortfalls)
may not be quite as bad as once envisioned. In
fact, there is some evidence to suggest that we
may soon start seeing mini baby booms, which, in
20 years or so, could have a significant impact on
the size of rich nations’ workforces, a shift that
can’t come too soon for countries now struggling
with unprecedented levels of national debt.
Another bright spot – recent surveys by
Eurobarometer show that European women
between the ages of 25 and 39 want to have more
children, if only it were easier to find a better
work-life balance. Note to European leaders: stop
worrying about the effects of immigration and
start creating better-paid part-time work.
