    BRAVE TOT I lasered my baby's face - I was called a 'monster' by trolls, but I don't care... I'd do it again

    (1º§)The decision was not one she took lightly but saw her accused of being a "child abuser" and "monster" by trolls on social media. The 34-year-old gave birth to little Kingsley in January 2022 and instantly noticed he had a maroon birthmark covering the right side of his face.

    (2º§)Medically known as port-wine stain birthmarks, they are linked to conditions like glaucoma, which can cause blindness, and Sturge-Weber syndrome, an abnormality of the brain that causes epileptic seizures and stunts development. Since Kingsley was diagnosed with both, Brooke and her partner Kewene, 27, made the difficult decision to get laser treatment __ the tot's face when he was just five-months-old. "People didn't understand why we were lasering him at such a young age," she tells Fabulous. "We received a lot of hate. "Nobody had really heard of these types of birthmarks and a lot of people assumed they would just fade over time, like others."

    Brooke, from the Gold Coast, Aus, decided to share Kingsley's story on social media to raise awareness but was savagely hounded and mum-shamed by trolls. "We started receiving comments online calling us child abusers," she says. "That we need to let him decide when he is older, that our child would hate us when he gets older. "That we were sick in the head because it was purely for cosmetic reasons, that we were faking it, that he looked awful with or without it, that we were exploiting him. "I was a monster, I was hungry for fame, we were horrible parents."

    (3º§)Brooke used to respond to trolls out of anger but has now learnt to block them out, confident knowing laser therapy was the right choice for little Kingsley. She urged people to remember that not all birthmarks are "just a birthmark" and can pose serious threats to a baby's development. Port-wine stain birthmarks often darken, thicken and develop vascular nodules, which are susceptible to spontaneous bleeding or haemorrhage. The increased tissue mass under the soft tissue of the birthmark can also lead to further disfigurement of the facial features and leave large growths on the face. As Kingsley's birthmark was on his face, he was at a higher risk of these complications. The tot has to have close ongoing maintenance due to his conditions, including two laser sessions a year, as there's no cure. He was diagnosed with glaucoma and Sturge-Weber Syndrome soon after birth and started experiencing seizures __ epilepsy in October last year.

    (4º§)Kingsley has been rushed to A&E ten times already this year due to seizures, alongside four laser treatments and four operations on his eyes for glaucoma. At first, Kingsley had to get laser treatments every month to get the best clearance before his skin starts getting exposed __ the sun and ageing. "We were extremely nervous for his first laser treatment," Brooke recalls. "Even though it was only two minutes worth of laser, my heart broke for my darling boy. "Although we knew it was the right thing to do, it still didn't make it easier."

    (5º§)Brooke describes Kingsley as "the happiest, most loving and sweetest boy you will ever meet" despite the pain he has endured. Now one-year-old, the tot's birthmark has been mostly cleared by the laser treatments but he is still suffering from its complications - something he will have to live with for his whole life."I want to help normalise birthmarks and spread as much awareness as I can," Brooke says. "So uneducated people can stop the judgement and also make others aware of what families like mine are going through. "It's not 'just' a birthmark."

    CANCER PILL HOPE NHS to offer 300,000 women at high risk of breast cancer a 4p pill that could halve danger

    (1º§) Once-a-day tumour drug Anastrozole is to be repurposed as a preventative after research showed it slashed the threat by 49 per cent. The NHS in England will offer it to around 289,000 post-menopausal women who have genes that mean breast cancer runs in their family. It estimates 2,000 cancers could be prevented for every 36,000 women who take the drug for five years.

    (2º§) Doctors have been allowed to prescribe Anastrozole, also known as Arimidex, to prevent cancer since 2017 but it was never officially designated for this purpose, so was uncommon. A new licence from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency means it will now become standard care. The hormone therapy reduces ­levels of oestrogen that some tumours feed off.

    (3º§) NHS England chief exec Amanda Pritchard said: "This is the first drug to be repurposed through a world-leading new programme to help us realise the full potential of existing medicines to save and improve lives." Baroness Delyth Morgan, of charity Breast Cancer Now, called the roll-out a "major step forward". Baroness Delyth Morgan, chief executive at the charity Breast Cancer Now, said: "[It] will enable more eligible women with a significant family history of breast cancer to reduce their chance of developing the disease." The treatment is taken as a 1mg tablet, once a day for five years.

    (4º§) Trials have shown that the drug reduces breast cancer cases by 49 per cent over 11 years among eligible women. The most common side effects of the medicine are hot flushes, feeling weak, pain/stiffness in the joints, arthritis, skin rash, nausea, headache, osteoporosis, and depression. The cases prevented by anastrozole could save the NHS £15 million in treatment costs.

    (5º§) Around 47,000 women in England are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Health Minister Will Quince said: "Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK so I'm delighted that another effective drug to help to prevent this cruel disease has now been approved. "We've already seen the positive effect anastrozole can have in treating the disease when it has been detected in post-menopausal women and now we can use it to stop it developing at all in some women."

    In today's competitive business world, effective communication is essential to success. Whether you're giving a presentation to a client, writing a report for your boss, or collaborating with colleagues on a project, your ability to express yourself clearly and professionally can make all the difference. One key aspect of professional communication is using appropriate language for your audience. This means avoiding jargon or technical terms that might be unfamiliar to non-experts, and using a tone that's respectful and courteous. For example, if you're giving a presentation to a group of clients, you might use language that's persuasive and engaging, focusing on the benefits of your product or service. On the other hand, if you're writing a report for your boss, you might use a more formal tone and focus on providing clear and concise information. In any professional setting, it's important to be aware of your audience and tailor your language to their needs and expectations. By doing so, you can build stronger relationships, increase your credibility, and achieve your goals more effectively.

    Will Vladimir Putin ever face a war crimes trial?

    Published by Robert Plummer

    BBC News

    Although the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has issued a warrant for President Vladimir Putin's arrest, it is no more than the first step in a very long process.

    The United Nations clearly believes there is sufficient evidence to accuse the Russian leader of war crimes in Ukraine.

    However the practical and logistical problems in pursuing such a case are immense.

    This is what the process of bringing Mr Putin to justice could look like.

    Can President Putin be arrested?

    At present, the Russian leader enjoys unchallenged power in his native land, so there is no prospect of the Kremlin handing him over to the ICC.

    As long as he stays put in Russia, he faces no risk of being arrested.

    Mr Putin could be detained if he leaves the country. But, given the fact that his freedom of movement is already severely limited by international sanctions against him, he is unlikely to show up in a country that would want to put him on trial.

    Since Russian troops invaded Ukraine in February 2022, he has visited just eight countries. Seven of those would be considered by him to be part of Russia's "near abroad" - that is, they were constituent parts of the Soviet Union before it collapsed at the end of 1991.

    His only recent destination that does not fall into this category is Iran, which he visited in July last year to meet the theocracy's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

    Since Iran has helped the Russian war effort by supplying drones and other military hardware, any repeat visit to Tehran would be unlikely to place Mr Putin in any jeopardy.

    What war crimes is Russia accused of?

    Will Putin actually face trial?

    There are at least two big obstacles to that. Firstly, Russia does not recognise the jurisdiction of the ICC.

    The court was established in 2002 by a treaty known as the Rome Statute.

    This statute lays down that it is the duty of every state to exercise its own criminal jurisdiction over those responsible for international crimes. The ICC can only intervene where a state is unable or unwilling to carry out the investigation and prosecute perpetrators.

    In all, 123 states have agreed to abide by it, but there are some significant exceptions, including Russia.

    Some countries, including Ukraine, have signed the treaty, but not ratified it. You can see a full list of countries that are party to the Rome Statute here.

    So you can see that the legal position is already getting shaky.

    And secondly, although it's not unknown for trials to be held without the defendant in the dock, that's not an option here. The ICC does not conduct trials in absentia, so that avenue is closed off too.

    Who else has faced this kind of trial?

    The idea of trying people for crimes against humanity pre-dates the existence of the ICC.

    It began in 1945 after World War Two with the Nuremberg Trials, which were held to punish key members of the hierarchy in Nazi Germany for the Holocaust and other atrocities.

    Those included Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess, who was sentenced to life imprisonment and died by his own hand in 1987.

    Of course, Mr Putin has not actually been charged with crimes against humanity, even though US Vice-President Kamala Harris has argued that he should be.

    And if he were, that would pose another legal dilemma as the UN itself says, "crimes against humanity have not yet been codified in a dedicated treaty of international law, unlike genocide and war crimes, although there are efforts to do so."

    Other bespoke bodies have sought to convict those accused of war crimes. That includes the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, a UN organisation that existed from 1993 to 2017.

    During that time, it convicted and sentenced 90 people. But arguably the most notorious of those indicted, former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, died of a heart attack in 2006 while in detention.

    As for the ICC itself, it has so far indicted 40 individuals apart from Mr Putin, all from African countries. Of those, 17 people have been detained at The Hague, 10 have been convicted of crimes and four have been acquitted.

    What does this mean for the war in Ukraine?

    The arrest warrant is being seen as a signal from the international community that what is taking place in Ukraine is against international law.

    The court says the reason it is going public with these warrants is that these crimes are continuing. In doing so, it is trying to deter further crimes taking place.

    But, the main reaction from Russia so far has been to dismiss the warrants as meaningless.

    In fact, the Kremlin denies its forces have committed any atrocities in Ukraine, and Mr Putin's spokesman called the ICC's decision "outrageous and unacceptable".

    Faced with such defiance, it seems unlikely that the ICC's actions will have any impact on Russia's war in Ukraine - and Mr Putin's "special military operation" will continue to grind mercilessly on.

    Text 4 (for questions 17 and 18)

    Feeding the world

    “We are indebted to half the world before we finished breakfast.”

    (Martin Luther King)

    The environment is about plants and animals – but it’s about humans, too. They need to work and earn money, and they also need to eat. Many people do not have enough food. So scientists and governments are always looking for new ways to feed them.

    In many countries, farmers have to sell their fruit and vegetables for very low prices. If they increase these prices, supermarkets will not buy them. There are other problems, too. When there is a drought, or flood, farmers often lose their crops. Then they have no money.

    In 1994, a new organization, Fairtrade, decided to help farmers. Their motto is “A fair price for good food”. This organization works with both producers and supermarkets, the different parts of the supply chain. They guarantee a good price to the farmers, and they contribute money to educational and social projects. The supermarkets sell the products at a higher price, but it’s a fair one. And the consumer gets good quality, at a fair price. Everyone in this supply chain benefits!

    Ana and Jose are farmers in Ecuador, South America. They grow bananas. “We don’t use many chemicals – Fairtrade limits this. Some companies don’t care. Chemicals make the fruit grow quickly at first. But then they enter the soil, and it degenerates. But we need the Fairtrade price to support us.”

    In 2004, Fairtrade worked with similar organizations in 17 other countries in Europe, North America and Asia. There are more and more countries every year. There are now more than 130 products with the Fairtrade logo. These include coffee, tea, chocolate, bananas, fruit juice, sugar and honey.

    When a product carries the Fairtrade mark it means the producers and traders have met Fairtrade Standards. The standards are designed to address the imbalance of power in trading relationships, unstable markets and the injustices of conventional trade.



    De acordo com o texto, pode-se afirmar que Fairtrade é uma organização

    I. que apoia os fornecedores de alimentos em todo o mundo, atuando principalmente nos países da Ásia e da Europa, com o intuito de promover as vendas e o lucro dos fazendeiros e cooperados.

    II. que apoia tanto os fazendeiros e produtores em geral como os supermercados, que vendem tais produtos, garantindo boa qualidade dos alimentos ao consumidor por um preço justo.

    III. que se propõe a financiar os fazendeiros produtores de frutas e verduras, para que eles possam enfrentar os grandes empresários, como os donos de supermercados e restaurantes.

    IV. com objetivos ambientais e econômicos, que apoia todos os que fazem parte da cadeia de abastecimento, sem perder de vista os incentivos para a educação e outros projetos sociais.

    Read the text to answer questions 26 to 31.

    “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

    As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

    Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —

    Only this, and nothing more."

    Ah, distinctly I remember it wasin the bleak December,

    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

    Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had sought to borrow

    From my books surcease ofsorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore —

    For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore —

    Nameless here for evermore.

    And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

    Thrilled me — filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;

    So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,

    Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door —

    Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; —

    This is it, and nothing more."

    Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

    Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;

    But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,

    And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,

    That I scarce was sure I heard you"— here I opened wide the door; —

    Darkness there, and nothing more.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,

    Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;

    But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,

    And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?

    This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" —

    Merely this, and nothing more.

    Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,

    Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.

    Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:

    Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore —

    Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; —

    'Tis the wind and nothing more."

    Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

    In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;

    Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;

    But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door —

    Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door —

    Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

    Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,

    By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.

    Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,

    Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —

    Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"

    Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

    Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,

    Though its answer little meaning— little relevancy bore;

    For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being

    Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door —

    Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,

    With such name as "Nevermore.”

    — Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven

    Those included Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess, who was sentenced to life imprisonment and died by his own hand in 1987.

    Of course, Mr Putin has not actually been charged with crimes against humanity, even though US Vice-President Kamala Harris has argued that he should be.

    And if he were, that would pose another legal dilemma as the UN itself says, "crimes against humanity have not yet been codified in a dedicated treaty of international law, unlike genocide and war crimes, although there are efforts to do so."

    Other bespoke bodies have sought to convict those accused of war crimes. That includes the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, a UN organisation that existed from 1993 to 2017.

    During that time, it convicted and sentenced 90 people. But arguably the most notorious of those indicted, former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, died of a heart attack in 2006 while in detention.

    As for the ICC itself, it has so far indicted 40 individuals apart from Mr Putin, all from African countries. Of those, 17 people have been detained at The Hague, 10 have been convicted of crimes and four have been acquitted.

    What does this mean for the war in Ukraine?

    The arrest warrant is being seen as a signal from the international community that what is taking place in Ukraine is against international law.

    The court says the reason it is going public with these warrants is that these crimes are continuing. In doing so, it is trying to deter further crimes taking place.

    But, the main reaction from Russia so far has been to dismiss the warrants as meaningless.

    In fact, the Kremlin denies its forces have committed any atrocities in Ukraine, and Mr Putin's spokesman called the ICC's decision "outrageous and unacceptable".

    Faced with such defiance, it seems unlikely that the ICC's actions will have any impact on Russia's war in Ukraine - and Mr Putin's "special military operation" will continue to grind mercilessly on.

    11 minutes of daily exercise could have a positive impact on your health, large study shows

    By Kristen Rogers, CNN

    Updated 1145 GMT (1945 HKT) March 1, 2023

    (CNN)When you can't fit your entire workout into a busy day, do you think there's no point in doing anything at all? You should rethink that mindset. Just 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic activity per day could lower your risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease or premature death, a large new study has found.

    Aerobic activities include walking, dancing, running, jogging, cycling and swimming. You can gauge the intensity level of an activity by your heart rate and how hard you're breathing as you move. Generally, being able to talk but not sing during an activity would make it moderate intensity. Vigorous intensity is marked by the inability to carry on a conversation.

    Higher levels of physical activity have been associated with lower rates of premature death and chronic disease, according to past research. But how the risk levels for these outcomes are affected by the amount of exercise someone gets has been more difficult to determine. To explore this impact, scientists largely from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom looked at data from 196 studies, amounting to more than 30 million adult participants who were followed for 10 years on average. The results of this latest study were published Tuesday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

    The study mainly focused on participants who had done the minimum recommended amount of 150 minutes of exercise per week, or 22 minutes per day. Compared with inactive participants, adults who had done 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity per week had a 31% lower risk of dying from any cause, a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 15% lower risk of dying from cancer.

    The same amount of exercise was linked with a 27% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and 12% lower risk when it came to cancer.

    "This is a compelling systematic review of existing research," said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, who wasn't involved in the research. "We already knew that there was a strong correlation between increased physical activity and reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer and premature death. This research confirms it, and furthermore states that a smaller amount than the 150 minutes of recommended exercise a week can help."

    Even people who got just half the minimum recommended amount of physical activity benefited. Accumulating 75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week - about 11 minutes of activity per day - was associated with a 23% lower risk of early death. Getting active for 75 minutes on a weekly basis was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%.

    Beyond 150 minutes per week, any additional benefits were smaller.

    "If you are someone who finds the idea of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week a bit daunting, then our findings should be good news," said study author Dr. Soren Brage, group leader of the Physical Activity Epidemiology group in the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, in a news release. "This is also a good starting position - if you find that 75 minutes a week is manageable, then you could try stepping it up gradually to the full recommended amount."

    The authors' findings affirm the World Health Organization's position that doing some physical activity is better than doing none, even if you don't get the recommended amounts of exercise.

    "One in 10 premature deaths could have been prevented if everyone achieved even half the recommended level of physical activity," the authors wrote in the study. Additionally, "10.9% and 5.2% of all incident cases of CVD (cardiovascular disease) and cancer would have been prevented."

    Important note: If you experience pain while exercising, stop immediately. Check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

    A little exercise every day.

    The authors didn't have details on the specific types of physical activity the participants did. But some experts do have thoughts on how physical activity could reduce risk for chronic diseases and premature death.

    "There are many potential mechanisms including the improvement and maintenance of body composition, insulin resistance and physical function because of a wide variety of favorable influences of aerobic activity," said Haruki Momma, an associate professor of medicine and science in sports and exercise at Tohoku University in Japan. Momma wasn't involved in the research

    Benefits could also include improvement to immune function, lung and heart health, inflammation levels, hypertension, cholesterol, and amount of body fat, said Eleanor Watts, a postdoctoral fellow in the division of cancer epidemiology and genetics at the National Cancer Institute. Watts wasn't involved in the research.

    "These translate into lower risk of getting chronic diseases," said Peter Katzmarzyk, associate executive director for population and public health sciences at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Katzmarzyk wasn't involved in the research.

    The fact that participants who did only half the minimum recommended amount of exercise still experienced benefits doesn't mean people shouldn't aim for more exercise, but rather that "perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good," Wen said. "Some is better than none."

    To get up to 150 minutes of physical activity per week, find activities you enjoy, Wen said. "You are far more likely to engage in something you love doing than something you have to make yourself do."

    And when it comes to how you fit in your exercise, you can think outside the box.

    "Moderate activity doesn't have to involve what we normally think of (as) exercise, such as sports or running," said study coauthor Leandro Garcia, a lecturer in the school of medicine, dentistry and biomedical sciences at Queen's University Belfast, in a news release. "Sometimes, replacing some habits is all that is needed.

    "For example, try to walk or cycle to your work or study place instead of using a car, or engage in active play with your kids or grand kids. Doing activities that you enjoy and that are easy to include in your weekly routine is an excellent way to become more active."

    Everyone loves avocados – never trust anyone who doesn’t. Though we can’t get enough of the fruit, most people are missing out on a vital part of it. Although the seeds take up a large piece of the center, they’re generally thrown away after the avocado is opened. Yes, this part of the fruit may not seem appetizing, but there are some reasons you should consider indulging it before throwing it away. Within the seed are various acids, such as palmitic acid and oleic acid. While the thought of consuming acids may seem a little dangerous, not all acids are harmful to you in the proper amounts. These acids are known as lipids, and they can help protect your cells, DNA, and proteins from damage. The avocado seed is more beneficial than the other parts of the fruit when it comes to fighting diabetes and premature aging.

    Lipids in avocado seeds are also known to help with inflammation. The more of these good acids you consume, the more your body is well adapted to fighting inflammation in the long run. This means better support against certain chronic illnesses; this will impact your quality of life significantly. Cancer is a disease that many people fear, mainly because there’s no absolute cure for it at the moment. Of course, it is impossible to make your body immune to the illness; there are ways for you to lower the risk of getting it. The lipids inside avocado seeds are allegedly able to stop cancer cells from spreading. It has a distinct impact on cancer cells in the colon and liver, although it may be effective against the disease in any part of the body. These benefits are undoubted; just make sure you find a way to eat the avocado seeds safely. And remember, they may help, but they are not a complete antidote to preventing diseases.

    I Met My Pen Pal for the First Time in a Country I Knew Almost Nothing About — and We Fell in Love

    (1º§) I'm what you might call a hopeless romantic with impulsive tendencies. During the height of the pandemic, I flew to Tbilisi to spend a week with my Russian pen pal, Anastasia, whom I had known for years, but never met in person.

    (2º§) In a world ravaged by COVID-19, Anastasia kept me sane. Even from afar, her kind words and charming smile filled me with joy and affection. Pairing those emotions with my insatiable wanderlust, I knew I had to meet her in person. But it was spring 2021, and most of the world was still shut down. Due to all the restrictions, finding a country for both an American and a Russian citizen was virtually impossible.

    (3º§) Then, I discovered Georgia, a country I knew almost nothing about. Provided Anastasia and I received a negative PCR test result, we could enter without having to quarantine. We didn't need a visa, either. So, after a long journey with two layovers and 24 hours in the air, I met my pen pal in Tbilisi.

    (4º§) The Georgian capital was full of surprises. We strolled along the futuristic Bridge of Peace lit with LEDs. We climbed the crumbling Narikala Fortress and passed slanted, Soviet homes. At times modern and at others medieval, the city's style was strangely addictive. Anastasia and I walked hand in hand, eager to find all Tbilisi's secrets.

    (5º§) One such secret was the food. From soup dumplings to nuts dipped in thickened grape juice, Georgian food was a simple and wholesome pleasure. Oh, and you haven't lived until you've tried khachapuri, a soft bread blanketed in cheese, butter, and egg. The stomach truly is the way to the heart because I was head over heels.

    (6º§) Even so, I say, everything in life is better with a glass of wine, so I decided to take Anastasia on a day trip to the Khareba Winery in Kakheti. Together, we tasted Georgia's traditional varietals and explored the winery's 4.7-mile-long tunnel system. Our wine tasting was as intimate as it was thirst-quenching.

    (7º§) Still a bit tipsy, we headed to Signagi, the City of Love. One of the locals told me Signagi's presumptuous title is just for tourism purposes. But the cute, pastel houses and stunning valley vistas are enough to put anyone in a romantic mood. As we watched the sun set over the stone walls of Signagi, love was definitely in the air.

    (8º§) But the pinnacle of our Georgian excursion came north of Tbilisi, in the mountains of Kazbegi. On a group trip with Gamarjoba Georgia Tours, we marveled as majestic, green peaks rose around us. Their rocky faces were speckled with spring flowers and babbling streams of melted ice. From the slopes of the Gudauri Ski Resort to the nameless, roadside cliffs, unforgettable views awaited around every corner.

    (9º§) To make the trip even more memorable, the tour guide got us drunk on homemade chacha, Georgia's national hard liquor. Then, he decided it was a good idea to reenact "Dirty Dancing" during a cliffside photo shoot. After all, nothing brings a couple together like the fear of falling off a cliff.

    (10º§) Thankfully, I did not fall from the mountaintops, but I did fall for Anastasia. Once we returned to the quaint, cobbled streets of Tbilisi, I told her I had decided to move to Russia to be with her. My family questioned me, but this wasn't another impulsive decision. Georgia's rich culture and romantic landscapes had set the stage for our relationship. Tbilisi, it turns out, was the perfect place for Anastasia and I to start our next adventure.

    Após a leitura do enunciado apresentado a seguir, identifique a afirmação correta:

    Why Are Visual Tools Important for Helping Students Learn English?

    English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers work with English Language Learners (ELLs), for whom English is not their primary language.(...)

    As students who are still developing English vocabulary and usage skills, ELLs often need extra

    support in comprehending unfamiliar concepts regardless of the classroom setting. One way to

    offer that support is through the use of visual aids. These visual tools help ELLs grasp new ideas, access previous knowledge and gain confidence in using the new language (English).

    A. Why Use Visual Aids in the ESL classroom?

    Many ELLs have a more robust understanding of the subject matter than their existing English language proficiency might reflect. The use of visual aids and multimedia can build ELLs’ self- confidence by helping them absorb the content and become interactive in the classroom.

    (Source: https://online.se.edu/programs/education/medcurriculum-instruction/esl/help-ell-students-learn- english/#:~:text=What%20Is%20a%20Visual%20Ai d,for%20reference%20while%20learning%20English. )

    I. A visual aid is anything that students can look at to help them comprehend and remember content.

    II. Anchor charts, physical gestures, document cameras, digital or printed images are examples of visual aids.

    III. Visual aids might be text-based. For example, closed captioning is an excellent method of enhancing student learning.
