Global coral reef bleaching event underway as oceans get
warmer
The world’s oceans experience unprecedented rising
temperatures: last month, the average global sea surface
temperature reached a record 21° Celsius. Last week, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported the
4th global bleaching event on record. A press release stated,
“Within the last 14 months, significant coral bleaching has been
documented in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres of each
major ocean basin. Since 2023, the problem has become more
frequent in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.”
According to NOAA, warmer ocean temperatures can result
in expulsion of algae that live in the coral tissue, leaving the coral
completely white ‐ something known as ‘coral bleaching’. This
does not necessarily mean corals will die, as they can recover if
the strain on their ecosystems is reduced. At a local level, storms,
disease, sediments and changes in salinity can cause corals to
bleach. However, mass bleaching, which is when several varieties
of coral reefs are bleached, is largely caused by increased sea
temperatures. When these events are sufficiently severe or
prolonged, they can cause coral mortality, which hurts the people
who depend on the coral reefs for their livelihoods.
In 2019, NOAA published a study that provided “resilience‐
based management practices” and __________ the importance of
coral restoration. “We are on the frontlines of coral reef research,
management and restoration, and are actively and aggressively
implementing the recommendations of the 2019 study.” A buoy
in Florida reported an ocean temperature of 38° Celsius in July
2023, according to meteorologists at the time. In response, NOAA
started a program to attempt to offset the effects of global
climate change on the local coral reefs by moving coral nurseries
to deeper, cooler waters and deploying sunshades to protect
corals in other areas.

What is a friend?
Márcio Paulo Barbosa Pena Mascarenhas
Laurie: To me, a friend is someone who stands by you when you need them, someone who cares. Not like your parents, ________. Parents are either picking on you or telling you off, so sometimes it’s a pain. To a friend you can always open up.
Angela: I agree with Laurie but personally, I don’t think a friend has to be physically around all the time. I have friends that I haven’t seen in years, but I know if we get together, we’ll pick up right where we left off.
Fran: I think a friend is that old pal you’ve always gotten on with. I often look back on my schooldays and I think of the funny things my friends and I did together. As I see it, the friends you make in youth are friends to keep for a lifetime.
Gary: If you ask me, a friend is a person you have fun and relax with. My friends and I talk about movies, sports or politics. I don’t go round telling them my troubles and I don’t particularly want to hear theirs. I believe that if you don’t expect too much from people, you won’t be let down.
Grade 1, Student’s book, Belo Horizonte, 14th edition.

One man in a boat
L.G. Alexander
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything ‐ not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. “You must give up fishing!” my friends say. “It’s a waste of time.” But they don’t realize one important thing. I’m not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
PRACTICE AND PROGRESS ‐ An Integrated Course for Pre‐Intermediate Students, L.G Alexander, Longman Group Limited, London.
According to the text, choose the alternative that best rewrites the sentence: “Some fishermen are unlucky (...) I am
even less lucky”.

Read the text to answer question.
As a linguist, I understand that language shifts and
changes. The voiced z sound of houses is being replaced
by an unvoiced s sound. The abbreviation A.I. has become a
verb, as in “He A.I.ed it.” Neologisms abound, and new words
often make us think of things in new ways.
But I don’t adopt all of the changes. I still say houses with a
z. I avoid some new words that seem too flash-in-the-pan (like
cheugy and delulu). By the time I might begin using them, they
are probably already on their way out. Some bits of neology, I
used ironically at first, but soon found myself adopting as part
of my everyday vocabulary, and dropped them. Still, there are
some usages that I can’t quite bring myself to embrace.
One is iconic. Everywhere I turn, I hear something
described as the most iconic: movies, songs, sports figures,
fictional characters, vehicles, photographs. Iconic has shifted
to mean “famous.” My experience with the word comes from
the semiotic triad of icon, index, and symbol, three of the 66
categories of signs proposed by the philosopher Charles
Sanders Peirce. For me, icons are visual representations:
they resemble something. Dictionaries have now added
definitions like “widely recognized and well-established” or
“widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive
excellence.” Iconic has widened its meaning, but I haven’t
come along.

In the first paragraph, the stretch “The voiced z sound
of houses is being replaced by an unvoiced s sound” is
written in the passive voice. In order to be used in the
passive voice, sentences must fulfill certain conditions.

Making the Case: The Importance
of Listening in Language Learning
It has taken many years to bring the language teaching
profession around to realizing the importance of listening
in second and foreign language learning. As observed
by Rivers, long an advocate for listening comprehension,
“Speaking does not of itself constitute communication unless
what is said is comprehended by another person”. Teaching
the comprehension of spoken speech is therefore of primary
importance if the communication aim is to be reached” (1966,
pp. 196, 204). The reasons for the nearly total neglect of
listening are difficult to assess, but as Morley notes, “Perhaps
an assumption that listening is a reflex, a little like breathing
- listening seldom receives overt teaching attention in one’s
native language - has masked the importance and complexity
of listening with understanding in a non-native language”
(1972, p. vii).
In reality, listening is used far more than any other single
language skill in normal daily life. On average, we can expect
to listen twice as much as we speak, four times more than we
read, and five times more than we write.

in second and foreign language learning. As observed
by Rivers, long an advocate for listening comprehension,
“Speaking does not of itself constitute communication unless
what is said is comprehended by another person”. Teaching
the comprehension of spoken speech is therefore of primary
importance if the communication aim is to be reached” (1966,
pp. 196, 204). The reasons for the nearly total neglect of
listening are difficult to assess, but as Morley notes, “Perhaps
an assumption that listening is a reflex, a little like breathing
- listening seldom receives overt teaching attention in one’s
native language - has masked the importance and complexity
of listening with understanding in a non-native language”
(1972, p. vii).
In reality, listening is used far more than any other single
language skill in normal daily life. On average, we can expect
to listen twice as much as we speak, four times more than we
read, and five times more than we write.

Based on theoretical, experimental, and experiential
knowledge, teachers and teacher educators have expressed
their dissatisfaction with method in different ways. Studies
clearly demonstrate that, even as the methodological band
played on, practicing teachers have been marching to a
different drum.
In this sense, the post method condition is established
as a timely response. It signifies interrelated attributes. First
and foremost, it signifies a search for an alternative to method
rather than an alternative method. While alternative methods
are primarily products of top-down processes, alternatives
to method are mainly products of bottom-up processes.
In practical terms, this means that we need to refigure the
relationship between the theorizer and the practitioner of
language teaching. If the concept of method authorizes
theorizers to centralize pedagogic decision-making, the
postmethod condition enables practitioners to generate
location-specific, classroom-oriented innovative strategies.
Secondly, the postmethod condition signifies teacher
autonomy. The conventional concept of method “overlooks
the fund of experience and tacit knowledge about teaching
which the teachers already have by virtue of their lives as
students” (Freeman, 1991). The postmethod condition,
however, recognizes the teachers’ potential to know not
only how to teach but also how to act autonomously within
the academic and administrative constraints imposed by
institutions, curricula, and textbooks. It also promotes the
ability of teachers to know how to develop a critical approach
in order to self-observe, self-analyze, and self-evaluate
their own teaching practice with a view to effecting desired
changes.
