To share knowledge in the academic world, researchers
might need to publish their research articles (RAs) in
high-impact journals. And, to do that, they should improve
their writing skills. Many investigations have analyzed the
distribution of metadiscourse markers in RA, but no study
has yet investigated the use of metadiscourse markers in
RAs abstracts of applied linguistics. To bridge this gap, the
present study has analyzed distribution of metadiscourse
markers in 125 RA abstracts, which were extracted from five
main journals. Findings show the high frequency of transitions
and large use of hedges in the abstracts analyzed. Academic
writing instruction is then claimed to be of utmost importance
for novice authors taking graduate and post-graduate courses.

Most teachers recognise the need for the students’
awareness about the potential relevance and utility of the
language and skills they are teaching. And researchers have
confirmed the importance of this need.
In ESP (English for specific purposes) materials, for
example, it is relatively easy to convince the learners that
the teaching points are relevant and useful by relating them
to known learner interests and to ‘real-life’ tasks, which the
learners need or might need to perform in the target language.
In general English materials this is obviously more difficult; but
it can be achieved by researching what the target learners
are interested in and what they really want to learn the
language for. An interesting example of such research was a
questionnaire in Namibia which revealed that two of the most
important reasons for secondary school students to wish to
learn English were so they would be able to write love letters
in English and so that they would be able to write letters of
complaint for villagers to the village headman and from the
village headman to local authorities.
Perception of relevance and utility can also be achieved
by relating teaching points to challenging classroom tasks
and by presenting them in ways which could facilitate the
achievement of the task outcomes desired by the learners.
The ‘new’ learning points are not relevant and useful because
they will help the learners to achieve longterm academic or
career objectives, but because they could help the learners to
achieve short-term task objectives now. Of course, this only
works if the tasks are begun first and the teaching is then
provided in response to discovered needs. This is much more
difficult for the materials writer than the conventional approach
of teaching a predetermined point first and then getting the
learners to practise and then produce it.

Text 1 A11-II
"Click!" That's the sound of safety. That's the sound of survival. That's the sound of a seat belt lockling in place. Seat belts save lives and that's a fact. That's why I don't drive anywhere until mine is on tight. Choosing to wear your seat belt is as simple as choosing between life and death.Which one do may be going 100km/h or faster. That car is zipping down the road. Then somebody ahead of you locks up his or her brakes. You don't have time to stop. The car that you locks up his or her brakes.
Some people think that seat belts are uncool. They think that seat belts cramp their style, or that seat belts are unconfortable. To them, I say, what's more uncomfortable? Wearing a seat belt or flying through a car, of skidding across the road in your jean shorts? Wearing a seat belt is both cooler and more comfortable than the alternatives. Let's just take a you can hop around the car and slide in and out of your seat easily. That sounds like a lot of fun. But, you are also more likely to die or suffer serious injuries. If you are wearing a seat belt, you have to stay in your seat. That's no fun. But, you are much more likely to walk away unharmed from a car accidente. Hmmm... A small pleasure for a serious pain. That's a tough choice. I think that I'll avoid the serious pain.

Kids can show anxiety symptoms early on
Kristen Rogers - CNN
Excessive clinginess to parents can be a sign a child is struggling with an anxiety disorder, experts have said.
(...)
Anxiety disorders are marked by persistent and excessive worries. While someone with generalized anxiety might worry about various everyday things, someone with social anxiety typically has ‘intense or persistent fears or worries about being judged negatively by other people’, said Rachel Busman, a New York-based clinical psychologist and cognitive and behavioral consultant _______ specialized in anxiety.
One fifth of children worldwide have anxiety symptoms that are clinically elevated, or worse than what is considered normal, according to a 2011 study.
Anxiety symptoms can be difficult to spot, but the sooner parents notice signs, the earlier mental health professionals ‘can help parents and kids understand what is happening’, said Dr. Rebecca Baum, a professor of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine at the University of North Carolina.
Children with anxiety might begin to avoid anxietyinducing situations. This behavior can facilitate a cycle that makes their fears bigger and bigger.
Adapted from https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/16/health/anxiety-earlysigns-in-kids-wellness/index.html
Read the statements.
I- Anxiety symptoms are often easy to identify.
II- Avoiding situations that induce anxiety can make fears increase.
III- Excessive and frequent preoccupation are signs of anxiety disorder.
IV- Someone socially anxious is not afraid to be negatively judged by people.

From space, astronaut sounds the alarm about climate
crisis
The Associated Press
A French astronaut has used a video call from space to
sound the alarm about worsening repercussions from climate
change that he can see ______ the International Space
Station.
Entire regions of Earth in flames. Storms trailing
destruction in their wake. And the haunting fragility of
humanity’s only home floating like a blue — but also
tarnished — pearl in the vastness of space.
Through the portholes ______ the International Space
Station, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has an arresting
view of global warming’s repercussions. He used a video call
from space to sound the alarm Thursday, as negotiators,
government officials and activists continued meeting at a
U.N. climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
“We see the pollution of rivers, atmospheric pollution,
things like that.”
“We saw entire regions burning from the space station,
______ Canada, in California,” he said. “We saw all of
California covered ______ a cloud of smoke and flames with
the naked eye from 400 kilometers (250 miles) up.”

The arm of Liberty
Anonymous
The Statue of Liberty is probably the ______ icon of the
USA.
( ...) When the American Civil war ended, Édouard de
Laboulaye wanted to commemorate the end of the slave trade
with a gift. He and other people who opposed slavery raised
money and hired a sculptor, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, to
design the Statue. Bartholdi later employed the French
engineer, Gustave Eiffel, to devise its structure.
Eiffel designed the Statue to be built around a massive
metal skeleton, similar to the Eiffel Tower. In 2018, a map
dealer bought some historic papers at an auction in Paris,
which included original plans. After special treatment, the
papers clearly showed that Eiffel’s plans had been changed by
Bartholdi.
(...) We don’t know what Eiffel thought of Bartholdi’s
changes. By then, Eiffel was working on other projects, and
only his assistants were working with Bartholdi.
(...) At first, visitors could climb a ladder to the torch in
Liberty’s arm, but in 1916, there was an explosion on a
nearby island. It damaged the Statue and made it unsafe, and
the stairway to the torch has been closed ever since. During
restoration work in the 1980s, engineers noticed that the
structure inside Liberty’s head, shoulders, and arm were
different from how they were shown on Eiffel’s plans. They
thought that the builders had made mistakes, but some
historians believed that Bartholdi had changed Eiffel’s design.
The newly discovered papers confirm those theories.

How sleep transformed professional football
A few decades ago, professional footballers spent their
nights partying. Now, they are much more aware of the
benefits of a good night’s sleep.
The change began in the mid-1990s, when mattress
salesman Nick Littlehales contacted the manager of the
Manchester United football team, Alex Ferguson, asking
whether he had ever considered how sleep affected
performance on the pitch. Interested, Ferguson arranged for
Littlehales to give a presentation to his team.
Gradually, club managers began to pay more attention to
scientific sleep research, and for good reason. (...)
Now, many teams and players are making an effort to
improve their sleep patterns, using various means. James
Milner from Manchester City found it hard to sleep after
evening games, so would play computer games into the early
hours. As a result, he was too tired to train the following
morning. Since these interventions are cheap and effective,
even the less well-known teams can benefit. (...)
Whereas in the past, playing after a party and a few
hours’ sleep was seen as a badge of honour, a good sleep is
now considered an essential part of performance.

Read the extracts below and then answer the following questions.
TEXT 1:
Annual government surveys from the Bureau of Justice Statistics show no recent increase in the
U.S. violent crime rate.
In 2021, the most recent year with available data, there were 16.5 violent crimes for every 1,000 Americans
ages 12 and older. That was statistically unchanged from the year before, below pre-pandemic levels and far
below the rates recorded in the 1990s, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey.
For each of the four violent crime types tracked in the survey – simple assault, aggravated assault, robbery
and rape/sexual assault – there was no statistically significant increase either in 2020 or 2021.
The National Crime Victimization Survey is fielded each year among approximately 240,000 Americans ages
12 and older and asks them to describe any recent experiences they have had with crime. The survey counts
threatened, attempted and completed crimes, whether or not they were reported to police. Notably, it
does not track the most serious form of violent crime, murder, because it is based on interviews with surviving
crime victims.
TEXT 2:
While the total U.S. violent crime rate does not
appear to have increased recently, the most
serious form of violent crime – murder – has
risen significantly during the pandemic
Both the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) reported a roughly 30%
increase in the U.S. murder rate between 2019 and
2020, marking one of the largest year-over-year
increases ever recorded. The FBI’s latest data, as
well as provisional data from the CDC, suggest that
murders continued to rise in 2021.

Read the text below and answer the question.
Rice is a staple food for a large part of the world’s population, providing more than one fifth of the calories
consumed worldwide, making it the second-most-consumed cereal grain. The rice plant grows about 2 to 5
feet high and is a flowering plant.
Rice is composed of the grain and husk. The grain is mainly used as food, but the vitamins, including Bcomplex, are found in the husk. Most people prefer to eat polished rice without the husk, but this can create
a vitamin deficiency because polished rice doesn’t have many vitamins.
Much of the rice that we eat comes from southeastern Asia and grows in all countries that have a warm and
moist climate, including India, China, and Japan. The traditional method for cultivating rice is to flood the
fields after planting the seedlings. This simple method requires planning and maintenance of the water
supply, but reduces the growth of weeds and deters vermin. Flooding is not mandatory, but all other methods
of irrigation require more effort in weed and pest control and different methods of fertilization.
