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.

According to the text, write T for true and F for false. Then, choose the alternative with the correct sequence.

( ) In Angela’s opinion, a friend is someone who keeps physical contact with a fellow, at least once a year, in order to show the person that he/she cares about him/her.
( ) Gary thinks you should have fun and enjoy life with your friends, talking to them about your interests instead of talking about your problems and above all: without expectations.
( ) As far as Laurie is concerned, a friend is just like parents. Someone you can count on and talk about your feelings.
( ) In Frank’s view, friends are those who have good memories with you; those who are part of your teenager time and because of this should be kept for your whole life.

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!

According to the text, choose the alternative that best rewrites the sentence: “Some fishermen are unlucky (...) I am  even less lucky”.

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 “resiliencebased 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.

    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 “resiliencebased 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.

  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.

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.
