Stateless People
Stateless people are not recognized as citizens by any country. UNHCR (United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees) advocates for their rights and works to prevent and end statelessness globally.
Millions of people around the world are denied the right to a nationality, which leaves them stateless. As a
result, they may be unable to access other basic rights and services. They are also often at a higher risk of
exploitation and abuse. At the end of June 2024, UNHCR’s statistical reporting counted 4.4 million stateless
people. Given that most countries do not report statelessness data, the actual figure is believed to be
substantially higher. Stateless people can be found in almost every country and in all regions of the world,
and most live in the same country in which they were born.
Stateless people face a lifetime of missed opportunities and disappointment. When they are born, their
parents may not be able to register their birth, obtain a birth certificate or other legal identity documents.
Without this, they often cannot be enrolled in school. If they do manage to enter school and receive education,
they may be barred from sitting formal exams to progress or enter university, unless they can prove their legal
identity. As an adult, they may not be allowed to work legally, which leaves them at an increased risk of
exploitation and abuse as they take low-paying and informal jobs. They often cannot access public services
like health care. They also frequently cannot open a bank account, vote, get a passport to travel, buy a home
or even get married. Stateless people cannot confer a nationality on their children. If the child is unable to
obtain a nationality through either of their parents or from the country of birth, they will also end up stateless,
perpetuating statelessness across generations.
What is the difference between a stateless person and a refugee? A stateless person is not considered
a national of any country. A refugee is someone who has fled their country to escape conflict or persecution
and has crossed an international border. While most refugees have a nationality, a person can be both
stateless and a refugee. However, the majority of stateless people live within the country in which they were
born and have never crossed an international border.

In English grammar, nouns are frequently categorized
based on their ability to be counted as separate units or
not. Countable nouns can generally appear in both
singular and plural forms, and they can be modified by
numbers. They are often preceded by articles such as "a"
or "an" when referring to a single item. Uncountable
nouns, conversely, do not usually take plural forms and
cannot be paired directly with numbers in standard
usage. Choose the one that is traditionally regarded as
an uncountable noun in English:

Instruction: For question, read the passage below.
How to become a firefighter
Those who fight fires are trained to do their job anywhere – from forests to rural areas to urban high-rises. Firefighters
work first and foremost to protect lives, and then they turn their attention to protecting property. Some firefighters
choose to work their way up the ladder, so to speak, starting with volunteer work at their local firehouse, coupled with
their high school diploma. Those who want to advance up the ranks faster can turn to a fire science degree that will
prepare them for responsibilities at the state or federal level. Understanding different types of firefighting careers and
what each entails is the first step to choosing the right path.
What Does a Firefighter Do?
Firefighters show up at the scene of a fire or emergency and rely on advanced tools and equipment to handle the situation.
That's a very broad overview; now let's get down to the details.
Firefighter Careers Basics
Firefighters receive expert training that prepares them to handle a variety of emergency situations. Though fighting fires
are what they are best known for (as the name implies), firefighters also handle medical emergencies, rescuing and
treating the injured, educating the public and more. Their work often requires them to be on call at all hours; some
respond to calls from their private homes, while others stay in the firehouse during their shifts in order to respond to
calls much faster, especially in urban areas.

Thought-in-Action Links
It is important to recognize that methods link thoughts
and actions, because teaching is not entirely about one
or the other. As a teacher of language, you have thoughts
about your subject matter – what language is, what culture
is – and about your students – who they are as learners and
how it is they learn. You also have thoughts about yourself
as a teacher and what you can do to help your students to
learn. Many of your thoughts have been formed by your own
experience as a language learner. With this awareness, you
are able to examine why you do what you do and perhaps
choose to think about or do things differently.
As an example, let us relate an anecdote about a teacher
with whom Diane Larsen-Freeman was working some time
ago. From her study of methods in Stevick (1980), Heather
(not her real name) became interested in how to work with
teacher control and student initiative in her teaching. She
determined that during her student teaching internship, she
would exercise less control of the lesson in order to encourage
her students to take more initiative, and have them impose
the questions in the classroom, since so often it is the teacher
who asks all the questions, not the students.
However, she felt that the students were not taking the
initiative, but she could not see what was wrong. When Diane
Larsen Freeman, who was her supervisor, visited her class,
she observed the following:
HEATHER: Juan, ask Anna what she is wearing.
JÜAN: What are you wearing?
ANNA: I am wearing a dress.
HEATHER: Anna, ask Muriel what she is writing.
ANNA: What are you writing?
MÜRIEL: I am writing a letter.
This pattern continued for some time. It was clear to see
that Heather had successfully avoided the common problem
of the teacher asking all the questions in the class. The
teacher was not asking the questions – the students were.
However, Heather had not achieved her goal of encouraging
student initiative.

Confluence of Cultures
A professional involved in a merchant marine
career gets to meet and mingle with people of
different cultures and nationalities. This helps the
individual to understand and function better as a
team player and learn the nuances of different
cultures and traditions at the same time. This
automatically increases adaptability and brings
about more awareness about what goes and what
doesn't in a different country.

Coronavirus: Venice Carnival closes as Italy
imposes lockdown
23 February 2020
Italian officials have cut short the Venice Carnival as they
try to control what is now the worst outbreak of the
coronavirus in Europe.
Authorities in the Veneto region said the event
would end later on Sunday, two days earlier than
scheduled. Italy has by far the highest number of
coronavirus cases in Europe, with 152. Three people have
died.Italy has imposed strict quarantine restrictions in two
northern "hotspot" regions close to Milan and Venice.
About 50,000 people cannot enter or leave several
towns in Veneto and Lombardy for the next two weeks
without special permission. Even outside the zone, many
businesses and schools have suspended activities. and
sporting events have been cancelled. The BBC's Mark
Lowen described the situation just outside the zone. ln
neighbouring Austria, a train from Venice was stopped at
the Austrian border after it emerged that two passengers
had fever symptoms. Austria's Interior Minister Karl
Nehammer later confirmed to the BBC that the pair tested
negative for coronavirus.
ºAll authorities have acted quickly and with great
caution in this case," said Mr Nehammer in a statement.
"The reporting chain worked without delay." Elsewhere, authorities in South Korea and Iran are battling
to control rising numbers of infections. South Korea has
raised its coronavirus alert to the "highest level".
The new strain of coronavirus, which originated
last year in Hubei province in China, causes a respiratory
disease called Covid-19. China has seen more than
76,000 infections and 2,442 deaths.
What is happening in Italy?
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced on
Saturday that "extraordinary measures" would come into
force to try to stem the rising number of coronavirus cases.
He said the quarantine restrictions could last for
weeks. Police, and if necessary the armed forces, will have
the authority to ensure the regulations are enforced.
Angelo Borrelli, the head of Italy's Civil Protection
Department, told reporters that 11 O of the confirmed cases
were in Lombardy, with 21 in Veneto with others in EmiliaRomagna and Lazio. Officials reported a third death on
Sunday, an elderly woman from the town of Crema
suffering from cancer. Italian officials say they are still
trying to trace the source of the outbreak.
Universities in Milan have been closed and the
city's mayor, Giuseppe Sala, said schools would also close
their doors while the outbreak continued. "As a precaution I
think that the schools have to be closed in Milan. I will
propose to the president of the region to enlarge the
precaution to the entire metropolitan city area. lt is just a
precautton, we don't want to create parue," he said.
Meanwhile Giorgio Armanì's fashion show, scheduled
to be held (I) Milan (li) Sunday, went
ahead but without any media or buyers present. The show
was livestreamed (lii) its website, lnstagram and
Facebook pages.

Read the following extract to answer question.
Innovation in the language teaching field in the late 1980s and 1990s has been stimulated by a special concern for the language learning process. New methods propose that language learning is best served when students are interacting – completing a task or learning content or resolving real-life issues – where linguistic structures are not taught one by one, but where attention to linguistic form is given as necessary. These views of language learning have been informed by research in second language acquisition. Also giving learning a special focus are methodological innovations of the late 1980s and 1990s. These include teaching learning strategies, using cooperative learning, and planning lessons in such a way that different intelligences are addressed.
