    Nobody wants me to be a model!

    The following weekend Tom and Rita went out together. Tom took his camera and they went to the park in Silverton. It was cold. But the sun was shining brightly. They walked around the lake and the flower garden. They had lunch in the restaurant in the park. Then they sat near a big oak tree.

    “I’m very happy”, said Tom.

    “Me too”, said Rita. She put her hand on Tom’s hand. “I’m pleased I met you.”

    They talked and talked. Then Tom took some photos of Rita wearing her new winter coat.

    “I made the coat myself”, she said. “I wanted to buy something new, but I can’t afford to buy the clothes I like.”

    “The coat looks wonderful”, said Tom. “And so do you.”

    “Can I take a photo of you?”, asked Rita.

    “Why”, asked Tom. He laughed. “I’m not going to be a model.”

    “No”, said Rita. “But I think you’re very handsome.”

    As a scholar of education who studies grading practices, I’ve seen how important grades are to schools, students and their families.

    Teachers, too, certainly know how important grades are. In fact, teachers spend over one-third of their professional work time assessing and evaluating student learning. But most university teacher-education programs focus on curriculum and instruction, with less attention attached to assessment. These programs do not talk about how to actually grade student work.

    In keeping with a long-held tradition in education, teachers also have, and like, the autonomy to set their own practices. That has resulted in inconsistency, inequity and even unreliability in teachers’ grading practices.

    For example, teachers decide if grades will be based on tests, quizzes, homework, participation, behavior, effort, extra credit or other evidence. When surveying over 15,000 teachers, administrators, support educators, parents and students, I found teachers use a rather comprehensive range of evidence in grades. While they primarily use tests, quizzes, projects, and homework to assign grades, teachers at all grade levels also include nonacademic evidence, like behavior and effort, in their grading equations.

    Once teachers decide what to include in their grades, they decide how much weight to assign to each grade category. One teacher may weigh homework as 20% of the final course grade, while another teacher in the same grade level may choose a different weight or not grade homework at all.

    In my study, I have talked to teachers who curve grades, that is, these teachers adjust grades by adding points to all students’ scores to bring the highest score up to 100%. Other teachers in the same school told me they do not grade on a curve - they add extra credit points to students’ final course grades if they attend a school event, such as a play. Some teachers told me they also add grade points if a student was never tardy to class or never missed an assignment deadline.

    The effort to keep up with multiple teachers’ different grading expectations causes students chronic stress and anxiety, especially for those students with poor organizational, time-management and self-regulation skills. This is also the case for students competing for high grade-point averages and class rank. Still, students rarely question teachers’ grading or the grading differences between teachers; rather, they have accepted these differences because “this is how it’s always been”.

    Text 1- English as a global language

    (Adapted from Teaching English Today: context and objectives, Holden & Nobre, 2018, p.03)

    All languages reflect the culture of the countries and regions where they have developed and are used.

    However, some languages are also used as a means of communication between a wide range of non-native speakers and contexts. In this way, the communication develops new priorities to reflect those contexts.

    Today, English is probably the prime example of a global language. It is used to communicate in areas such as the workplace, science and technology, the arts and in the world of business. This is why so many parents are keen of their children to start learning it at an ever-earlier age. Students, too, realize that English in more than just a school subject: it is important for their own future success.

    This realization can be used to your advantage as a teacher:

    Your students should be aware that English is widely used among non-native speakers in a variety of contexts in their own environments. It is no longer just linked with going to the US or Britain.

    They are more likely to be motivated if they feel they are being given appropriate materials and practice for their own needs, which is easier to do nowadays, since English is present almost everywhere.

    In fact, you are part of this world where English is used, however imperfectly, in real life, as well as being part of that other, classroom world. This gives your role even more importance.

    The intercultural context

    There are, then, clear practical and economic reasons why it is important for as many of your students as possible to feel positive about learning English, and ultimately, to feel confident about using it. However, there is also an equally important reason, which applies to all languages: their social function.

    Learning and using another language can put people into contact, directly or indirectly, with others from different societies and cultures. It exposes them to different ways of thinking, different ways of communicating, different values. This, in turn, encourages them to think about their own culture, values and way of life. They realize there is not just one way of doing something, but many different ones.

    In other words, as well as equipping learners with practical skills, learning a foreign language extends their horizons, which is one of the important aims of education in most countries.



    A compound word is made of “two or more words linked together to produce a word with a new meaning” as stated in Cambridge Dictionary. Now tick the alternative that is an example of a compounded word.

    Discussions of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) not infrequently lead to questions of grammatical or formal accuracy. The perceived displacement of attention to morphosyntactic features in learner expression in favor of a focus on meaning has led in some cases to the impression that grammar is unimportant or that proponents of CLT favor learner self-expression without regard to form. While involvement in communicative events is seen as central to language development, this involvement requires attention to form.

    The nature of contribution to language development of both form-focused and meaning-focused classroom activity remains a question in ongoing research. Undoubtedly, the optimum combination of these activities in any given instructional setting depends on a number of factors such as learner age, nature and length of instructional sequence, opportunities for language contact outside the classroom, teacher preparation, among other factors. However, for the development of communicative ability, research findings overwhelmingly support the integration of form-focused exercises with meaning-focused experience. Learners seem to focus best on grammar when it relates to their communicative needs and experiences.

    Instruction: answer questions 31 to 40 based on the following text. The highlights throughout the text are cited in the questions.

    He donated blood and saved the lives of 2.4 million babies

    01 Most people get a gold watch when they retire. James Harrison deserves so much more than

    02 that. Known as the “Man With the Golden Arm,” Harrison has donated blood nearly every week

    03 for 60 years, and after all those donations, the 81-year-old Australian man “retired” Friday.

    04 According to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, he has helped save the lives of more than

    05 2.4 million Australian babies because his blood has unique, disease-fighting antibodies.

    06 Harrison’s antibodies have been used to develop an injection called Anti-D, which helps

    07 fight against rhesus disease. This disease is a condition where a pregnant woman has rhesus-

    08 negative blood (RhD negative) and the baby in her womb has rhesus-positive blood (RhD

    09 positive), inherited from its father. If the mother has been sensitized to rhesus-positive blood,

    10 usually during a previous pregnancy with a rhesus-positive baby, she may produce antibodies

    11 that destroy the baby’s “foreign” blood cells. In the worst cases, it can result in brain damage,

    12 or death, for the babies.

    13 Harrison’s remarkable gift of giving started when he had major chest surgery when he was

    14 just 14. Blood donations saved his life, so he pledged to become a blood donor. A few years

    15 later, doctors discovered his blood contained the antibody which could be used to create Anti-D

    16 injections, so he switched over to making blood plasma donations to help as many people as

    17 possible. Doctors aren’t exactly sure why Harrison has this rare blood type, but they think it

    18 might be from the transfusions he received when he was 14, after his surgery. He’s one of no

    19 more than 50 people in Australia known to have the antibodies, according to the blood service.

    20 “In Australia, up until about 1967, there were literally thousands of babies dying each year,

    21 doctors didn’t know why, and it was awful.” Jemma Falkenmire, of the Australian Red Cross

    22 Blood Service, told CNN. “Australia was one of the first countries to discover a blood donor with

    23 this antibody, so it was quite revolutionary at the time.”

    24 The blood service estimates Harrison saved more than two million lives, and for that, he is

    25 considered a national hero in Australia. He’s won numerous awards for his generosity, including

    26 the Medal of the Order of Australia, one of the country’s most prestigious honors. Now that

    27 Harrison has given his last blood donation (in Australia you can’t donate blood past the age of

    28 81), Falkenmire and others hope people with similar antibodies in their blood will step up and

    29 donate.

    TEXTO PARA AS QUESTÕES DE 29 A 31.

    With nearly 30 percent of its people 65 and over, Japan has the oldest population on Earth (except tiny Monaco). Its median age of 48.7 far exceeds the world's, at 30.2.

    The numbers, though stark, don't convey how profoundly this demographic shift is playing out day to day. The increasingly disproportionate mix of more and more seniors and fewer and fewer young people is already altering every aspect of life in Japan, from its physical appearance to its social policies, from business strategy to the labor market, from public spaces to private homes.

    If Japan is any guide, aging will change the fabric of society in ways both obvious and subtle. It will run up a huge tab that governments will struggle to pay. Meeting the challenge won't be easy, but the future isn't necessarily all downhill. Japan's experience, with its characteristic attention to detail and design, suggests extreme aging may inspire an era of innovation.

    In 2020, Japan's health ministry launched eight “living labs” dedicated to developing nursing-care robots. Yetin a way, the entire country is one big living lab grappling with the repercussions of a rapidly aging society. In business, academia, and communities around Japan, countless experiments are under way, all aiming to keep the old healthy for as long as possible while easing the burden of caring for society's frailest.

    O estudo da língua inglesa pode possibilitar a todos o acesso aos saberes linguísticos necessários para engajamento e participação, contribuindo para o agenciamento crítico dos estudantes e para o exercício da cidadania ativa, além de ampliar as possibilidades de interação e mobilidade, abrindo novos percursos de construção de conhecimentos e de continuidade nos estudos. É esse caráter formativo que inscreve a aprendizagem de inglês em uma perspectiva de educação linguística, consciente e crítica, na qual as dimensões pedagógicas e políticas estão intrinsecamente ligadas.

    Ensinar inglês com essa finalidade tem, para o currículo, três implicações importantes. A primeira é que esse caráter formativo obriga a rever as relações entre língua, território e cultura, na medida em que os falantes de inglês já não se encontram apenas nos países em que essa é a língua oficial. Esse fato provoca uma série de indagações, dentre elas, “Que inglês é esse que ensinamos na escola?”. Alguns conceitos parecem já não atender as perspectivas de compreensão de uma língua que “viralizou” e se tornou “miscigenada”, como é o caso do conceito de língua estrangeira, fortemente criticado por seu viés eurocêntrico. Outras terminologias, mais recentemente propostas, também provocam um intenso debate no campo, tais como inglês como língua internacional, como língua global, como língua adicional, como língua franca, dentre outras. Em que pese as diferenças entre uma terminologia e outra, suas ênfases, pontos de contato e eventuais sobreposições, o tratamento dado ao componente na BNCC prioriza o foco da função social e política do inglês e, nesse sentido, passa a tratá-la em seu status de língua franca. O conceito não é novo e tem sido recontextualizado por teóricos do campo em estudos recentes que analisam os usos da língua inglesa no mundo contemporâneo. Nessa proposta, a língua inglesa não é mais aquela do “estrangeiro”, oriundo de países hegemônicos, cujos falantes servem de modelo a ser seguido.

    Wellness Habits That Are Good for You & Good for The Earth

    1. Adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle is like hitting the jackpot of wellness — for both the planet
    2. and for you! When you reduce your carbon footprint by walking or biking instead of driving, not
    3. only you are reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but you’re also reducing your exposure to
    4. harmful toxins and improving your physical health. The benefits of going green include reduced
    5. stress levels, lower risk of illness, and increased energy and concentration. All from simple habits,
    6. like gardening! Gardening protects wildlife and improves the air and soil quality. It is also a great
    7. way to burn some extra calories, it lowers blood pressure, busts stress, boosts your mood, and
    8. improves sleep. Not to mention you can avoid harmful chemicals.
    9. An alternative to gardening is hitting the farmers market or loading up on local food from
    10. your favorite grocery store. In addition to supporting your local farmers, shopping locally will
    11. reduce your carbon footprint. And while on the topic of food, it’s good to reduce your intake of
    12. animal foods and incorporate more plant-based meals. Red meat requires lots of resources (such
    13. as water, fertilizer, and cropland) and produces lots of greenhouse gas emissions. One liter of
    14. dairy milk requires 1,050 liters of water, whereas 1 liter of oat milk requires about 48 liters to
    15. produce. Beauty and personal care products also need attention. Aside from degrading the
    16. environment and polluting, they may contain toxic chemicals such as carcinogens, formaldehyde,
    17. fragrances, and parabens. Your skin is your largest organ — it easily absorbs anything you’re
    18. using on your skin, hair, face, or body. Look for green and sustainable options.
    19. If you haven’t felt inspired to get started with spring cleaning yet, know that besides having
    20. a clean, organized space, you’re doing good for mother nature. Donating clothes reduces landfills,
    21. saves water, reduces your carbon footprint, and of course, helps those in need. It also makes
    22. room for bringing plants into your home, which can help oxygenate your space and remove
    23. harmful indoor air pollutants. Boston Ferns and Spider plants can help you breathe easier while
    24. reducing the number of airborne toxins circulating in the environment. And in addition to being
    25. chic and sustainable decor, indoor plants may help reduce stress, boost productivity, and benefit
    26. your mental health.
    27. Going Green is a win for all involved — especially when it comes to the environment and
    28. your health! The best part? These healthy habits can be seamlessly incorporated into your
    29. lifestyle. From gardening and sustainable grocery shopping to making simple eco-friendly swaps,
    30. there are endless ways to protect the environment and your health. And if these sustainable tips
    31. seem small, don’t underestimate their large impact! Every time you bike to work, shop local, and
    32. swap out toxic products, you’re reducing air pollutants, water use, and plastic, while also limiting
    33. your exposure to toxins and bettering your health.

    Analise o texto a seguir sobre cultura inglesa:

    1. England’s contribution to both British and world culture is too vast for anything but a
    2. cursory survey here. Historically, England was a very homogeneous country and developed
    3. coherent traditions, but, especially as the British Empire expanded and the country absorbed
    4. peoples from throughout the globe, English culture has been accented with diverse
    5. contributions from Afro-Caribbeans, Asians, Muslims, and other immigrant groups. Other
    6. parts of the United Kingdom have experienced the same social and cultural diversification,
    7. with the result that England is not always distinguishable from Wales and Scotland or even
    8. Northern Ireland. The former insularity of English life has been replaced by a cosmopolitan
    9. familiarity with all things exotic: fish and chips have given way to Indian, Chinese, and Italian
    10. cuisine, guitar-based rock blends with South Asian rap and Afro-Caribbean salsa, and the
    11. English language itself abounds in neologisms drawn from nearly every one of the world’s
    12. tongues.
    13. Even as England has become ever more diverse culturally, it continues to exert a strong
    14. cultural influence ___ the rest of the world. English music, film, and literature enjoy wide
    15. audiences overseas, and the English language has gained ever-increasing currency as the
    16. preferred international medium of cultural and economic exchange.

    1. Have you ever frantically searched for your phone using the light on your

    3. missing an appointment -aren't signs that you're on the road to dementia. ln

    5. age, because there's a body of research saying otherwise.
    6. While many things about our memory are outside of our control71enetics and
    7. aging for starters-we can tweak our recall ability through lifestyle choices. Just
    8. because we are experiencing normal, age-related memory decline doesn't mean
    9. we can't do something about lt.
    10. Having a higher expectation of our memory skills as we age helps us engage
    11. in more of the very things that maintain recall. Studies show that in cultures
    12. where the older population is not stereotyped as being forgetful, such as in China,
    13. people score better on memory tests. ln other words, folks there aren't
    14. conditioned to give in to the idea that aging and memory loss go hand in hand, so
    15. they naturally put forth more effort into staying mentally engaged.
    16. What are those activities and factors that can grease the wheels of our
    17. memory machinery? The same things that help lower our risk of diseases such as
    18. heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression: exercising, eating healthfully,
    19. getting good sleep, socializing, and challenging our mind. ln addition, there are

    Text 2 – Computers

    (Text adapted from History of Computing. Retrieved from https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~mitra/csFall2006/cs303/lectures/history.html)

    When you hear the term computers, it’s difficult to imagine different devices from a laptop or a small desktop. Believe it or not, they weren’t always like they are today. They used to be very large and heavy, sometimes as big as an entire room. Some technology professors historically define computers, as “a device that can help with computations”. The word computation involves counting, calculating, adding, subtracting, etc. The modern definition of a computer is a little wider, because in our day and age, computers store, compile, analyze and compute an enormous amount of information. Ancient computers were very interesting. Actually, the first computer may have been located in Great Britain, at Stonehenge. It is a man-made circle of large stones. Citizens used it to measure the weather and forecast the change of seasons. Some specialists say that another ancient computer is the abacus. It was used by the early Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians to count and calculate. Even though they are no longer in use, certainly, these early devices are fascinating. Computers are embedded in our history and some people say that we are completely dependent of them. No matter the complexity of the task, easy or difficult, some people can’t do anything without them. Do you contest or share this opinion?



    Note the adjective order in the sentences: “It is a made-man circle of large stones”. Mark the correct alternative regarding the explanation about the position of adjectives in English.

    I. the made-man circle - the inversion of a noun (man) with an adverb (made) is one of the possibilities for forming noun groups with an emphasis on adjectives.

    II. circle of large stones – the preposition 'of' is an indication that the previous word is a verb.

    III. large stones – the position of the adjective (large) before the noun (stones) is one of the possible formations of the order of adjectives.

    Communicating successfully in another language means shifting frames of reference, shifting norms, shifting assumptions of what can and cannot be said, what might be considered ambiguous, what should be explicit and what ought to remain tacit, and so on. In other words, using another language effectively involves more than vocabulary and structures; it involves thinking differently about language and communication.

    The question is, how can we begin to understand another way of thinking, how can we be sensitized to different cultural frames, when we are in a classroom in Nebraska, Nairobi, or New South Wales? One answer, I will argue, is by reading, writing, and discussing texts. By examining the particular ways in which language is used to capture and express experiences, we not only learn a great deal about the conventions of the language, but can also begin to glimpse the beliefs and values that underlie the discourse.

    The basic message is a simple one: academic language teaching must foster literacy, not only in terms of basic reading and writing skills, but also in terms of a broader discourse competence that involves the ability to interpret and critically evaluate a wide variety of written and spoken texts. Preparing students to communicate in multiple cultural contexts, both at home and abroad, means sensitizing them to discourse practices in other societies and to the ways those discourse practices both reflect and create cultural norms. I here argue that this kind of literacy is essential to real communicative ability in a language, and is therefore an indispensable goal in our efforts to prepare future generations for the challenges associated with the increased internationalization of many aspects of our society.

    Since its creation in 2008, the International Initiative of X-Ray Fundamental Parameters has strived to become a bridge between academia and industry being active in quantitative x-ray analysis and related instrument manufacturing. National metrology institutes and research centers, where metrology grade experiments and calculations are being developed, have paired with technological advanced partners in the R&D industry of X-ray methodologies. Indeed, X-ray measurements form the basis of an ever-increasing number of areas as varied as medical technology, renewable energy, semiconductor and nanotechnology fabrication, law enforcement and planetary exploration. However, pushing the limits of X-ray technology requires a critical assessment and evaluation of available data related to the interactions of X-rays with matter (“fundamental parameters” or FP).

    One of the main challenges of the International Initiative on X-Ray Fundamental Parameters is the integration of the new, state-of-the-art results obtained within this framework, into critically evaluated compilations. Thus, the goal of this extra issue is to provide a platform to showcase all the high quality research being performed worldwide in the X-ray fundamental parameters field.

    Green shoppers around the world

    If you want to be a responsible consumer, think about not just how much you buy, but also about what’s good for the planet. Green Shoppers United is an international non-profit organization for the promotion of responsible consumerism.

    Labels

    Read the labels. Some .................... the ingredients that manufacturers use in products, such as cosmetics or toiletries, can damage the environment. Some ingredients are only used .................... make things prettier, or more colorful, but they might also be harmful. Don’t buy things that contain substances that harm you or the world you live ..................... For example, research shows a potential link .................... the preservatives called parabens, often found in beauty products, and some types of cancer.

    Transport

    In today’s global economy, it is easier for companies to buy products and materials where they’re cheap, and transport them over enormous distances to get them to customers. If you can, buy things locally. The local food movement has grown steadily in recent years, and it’s often possible to track down locally grown, or produced, products, rather than those that have been transported long distances. If we stop buying goods that have had to fly over continents to get to us, companies may stop transporting them around unnecessarily. A bargain may cost you less personally, but the real price we pay for it in the long run may turn out to be too high, as jet fuel continues to pollute our environment.

    Environment

    Responsible consumers recycle to reduce waste, and its negative impact on our environment. A lot of the plastic packaging we use for food and drink is recyclable, but not all of it. The most common packaging materials are still non-recyclable polyethylene and PVC. Seventy million tons are used every year. Look at the recycling labels carefully. Manufacturers should use recyclable plastics, like PET, wherever possible. Some have also begun using lighter materials, for example, 30% lighter PET plastic for drinks bottles, to reduce the amount of plastic waste. Transporting lighter materials is cheaper, and uses less fuel, too – so the solution may actually benefit everyone.

    Packaging

    We’ve all purchased products wrapped in foil, then sealed in a bag, and then put in a box. Why? Write to companies that you think produce wasteful packaging. Ask them to think about what’s really necessary. Make them realize they can save money by using less packaging and, at the same time, help save our planet.

    Consumers

    A lot of us expect products these days to be more environmentally friendly. However, research has shown that we don’t want to pay more, and we don’t want to compromise on the quality of products, either. For example, one manufacturer recently had to switch back to less environmental packaging of potato chips, just because customers didn’t like the noise their “green” bags made when they were opened! Think about the effects of your shopping choices. Buy less to save the world, and join our effort to make shopping greener!



    Which statements below can be inferred from the text?

    1. Companies are not interested in revealing the ingredients they use to customers.

    2. Reducing the amount of packaging used is not an attractive option for global companies.

    3. Refusing to buy things locally as much as possible may have long-term consequences.

    4. There is often a difference between what customers ask for and what they accept as a solution.

    Choose the alternative which presents the correct ones.
