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

Earthquake levels city of Antakya in southern Turkey 


    The Turkish city of Antakya, one of  the hardest‐hit  towns in  the earthquake  zone,  has  been  nearly  destroyed  by  the massive  7.8  quake  that  struck  on  6th  February.  Tall  apartment  buildings were  flattened,  trapping  residents  who  were  sleeping  when  the  quake  struck  in  the  early  morning  hours.  Thousands  are  __________  to  be  buried  in  their  homes.  Most  of  the  city  was  heavily  damaged  and  rescuers  have  been  working  around  the  clock to pull survivors from under the rubble, racing against time  in  cold  weather. Many  residents  were  left  homeless  and  had  to  spend nights outdoors, burning debris to keep warm as overnight temperatures  dropped  below  freezing. Workers  pulled  a man  in  his 30s out of the ruins as a jubilant crowd burst into cheers and  tears. Not  long after,  they  found an elderly woman. Then, a  10‐ year‐old girl was also rescued: the child was under the rubble for  90  hours.  These moments  of  hope  among  the  devastation  keep  them going as darkness falls. More than 80 hours after the quake,  rescuers using pails along with other equipment, found a man and  his mother, and pulled  them out alive. Amid  the  rubble, a group of rescuers were able to pull out lost family members alive. 


    Even  as  more  help  arrives,  hope  for  finding  survivors  dwindles.  Family  members  wait  in  the  cold  to  see  if  their  loved ones will be found, alive or dead. There are more than 100 bodies  waiting  for  identification  in  a  makeshift  morgue  outside  the  Antakya hospital. More than 600 aftershocks are slowing recovery  efforts  and  make  the  task  more  dangerous.  Little  aid  from  the  government has reached  the city and  the need is overwhelming.  People walk  the  streets  in  tears,  dazed. There  is  no  place  to go.  Everything  is  covered  in  dust.  Even  with  some  120,000  rescuers  across Turkey and Syria now  taking part in  the effort,  the  task is  daunting.  With  every  passing  hour,  the  likelihood  of  finding  survivors diminishes.

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.

Overcoming shyness by controlling emotional state 


    Words can be amazingly powerful if you know how to use  them.  Read  any  book  about  influencing  people  and  you’ll  see  what  I  mean.  Some  shy  people  don’t  understand  how  their  behavior,  and  specially  their  language  patterns,  influence  others.

    Any  decision  you  make  is  largely  influenced  by  the  emotional state you are in at  the  time. If you are in a positive,  happy  state,  you  are  much  more  likely  to  behave  in  positive,  rewarding ways. If you are in a “bad mood”, you  tend  to make  poor decisions and ignore  the positive  things around you. How  do emotional states work? If you concentrate, you can often put yourself in whatever state you want (Think happy thoughts!).

    One pathway for converting explicit to implicit knowledge is suggested by skill acquisition theory, a branch of cognitive science studying how people develop skills. In this theory, knowledge is first seen to be declarative (conscious); then, through practice and the application of learning strategies, declarative knowledge becomes proceduralized so that it becomes automatic. Automatic processes are quick and do not require attention or conscious awareness. Many second/ foreign language learners memorize and practice vocabulary items or “chunks” of language such as greetings, idioms or collocations. Frequent practice in using these forms helps the language items to become automatic in the sense that the learner can use them quickly and unconsciously.

    Pienemann (1989) proposes that second/ foreign language learners will not acquire a new structure until they are developmentallly ready to do so. If there were no connection between the development of explicit knowledge about a grammar point and the eventual restructuring of the unconscious linguistic system to accommodate the point in the learner’s interlanguage, then, indeed, grammar instruction would not be of much use. However, it has been suggested that there is a connection, so grammar instruction is ultimately useful. Further, practice of language points can lead to automatization, thus bypassing natural order teachability considerations.

    This study reviews the findings of earlier translanguaging research in Saudi Arabia. Notably, Saudi Arabia is striving to adjust to the multilingual immigrant workforce on its soil, while encouraging a larger role for its people on other soils. In this changed paradigm, strengthening the Saudis’ English communicative proficiency is an emergent need. To make pertinent pedagogical recommendations on the use of translanguaging in language learning, the study gathered data using a questionnaire administered to 72 participants from King Faisal University. All participants were given fictitious names in order to protect their anonymity. Findings revealed that the Saudi EFL students strongly support the use of translanguaging in the EFL classrooms, but they are worried that it may not bring their proficiency to the desirable standard. They, thus, showed greater faith in the conventional language learning approach, viz., using only English in the EFL classes. The study concluded that learners‟ exposure to translanguaging is apparently not adequate for them to fully appreciate its benefits, and teachers who, so far, strictly keep to the English-only approach, too need to be oriented and trained in its use.

Text 1A2-II


         Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. About 6-7 million people worldwide are estimated to be infected with T. cruzi. The disease is found mainly in endemic areas of 21 continental Latin American countries, where it has been mostly transmitted to humans and other mammals by contact with feces or urine of triatomine bugs (vector-borne), known as kissing bugs, among many other popular names, depending on the geographical area.

        Chagas disease is named after Carlos Ribeiro Justiniano Chagas, a Brazilian physician and researcher who discovered the disease in 1909. Chagas disease was once entirely confined to continental rural areas of the Region of the Americas (excluding the Caribbean islands). Due to increased population mobility over previous decades, most infected people now live in urban settings and the infection has been increasingly detected in the United States of America, Canada, and many European and some African, Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific countries.

           Chagas disease’s transmission is caused by T. cruzi parasites, which are mainly transmitted by contact with feces/urine of infected blood-sucking triatomine bugs. Normally they hide during the day and become active at night when they feed on animal blood, including human blood. They usually bite an exposed area of skin such as the face (hence its common name, kissing bug), and the bug defecates or urinates close to the bite. The parasites enter the body when the person instinctively smears the bug’s feces or urine into the bite, other skin breaks, the eyes, or the mouth. T. cruzi can also be transmitted by consumption of food or beverages contaminated with T. cruzi through, for example, contact with feces or urine of infected triatomine bugs or common opossums. This kind of transmission typically causes outbreaks with more severe cases and mortality; passage from an infected mother to her newborn during pregnancy or childbirth; blood or blood product transfusion from infected donors; some organ transplants using organs from infected donors; and laboratory accidents.
