Teachers sometimes assume that more outgoing learners will be able to learn pronunciation better than shyer students, and there may be some truth to this. Confident students might speak more and be more willing to try new sounds, and this extra practice could help them improve their pronunciation. However, this improvement is certainly not guaranteed. Some outgoing students may be producing a lot of language, but they may also be jumping ahead without paying attention to the accuracy of their pronunciation. If listeners are impressed by their fluency and accept their imperfect pronunciation, they have no way to know that they need to improve.
Some more introverted students might actually be thinking carefully about sounds and practicing “within themselves,” even if they don’t speak much in class. Don’t underestimate the quiet students. Appreciate the strengths and possibilities of all your students and encourage everyone. All students can learn and improve in their own way.
Another aspect of personality that can affect pronunciation is the degree to which a person is willing or able to change the way they sound. Most of us have been speaking and listening to language in the same, familiar way since we learned to talk. Our voice and our pronunciation are a central part of the way we see ourselves. It can be uncomfortable, and possibly even frightening, to try out unfamiliar sounds and melodies of language. For some people this process seems like a small bump on the road, but for others, it’s a serious roadblock.

Sweden Reintroduces Traditional Books in Schools After Digital-Only Education Experiment

In 2009, Sweden embarked on a bold journey to digitize its classrooms, aiming to revolutionize the way students learn. The government envisioned a future where computers and tablets would transform education into an interactive and accessible experience. By replacing traditional textbooks with digital alternatives, Sweden sought to make learning more dynamic and prepare students for the digital demands of the 21st century.

Despite the initial optimism, the digital transition did not deliver the anticipated results. Although Sweden maintained its high ranking in global education standards, studies and feedback from educators and parents revealed challenges. One significant issue was the decline in essential skills such as reading and writing. Teachers noticed that students struggled to concentrate and retain information when using screens compared to traditional paper-based learning methods.

Distractions from digital devices further compounded the problem. Lots of students get sidetracked by games or surfing the web during class instead of sticking to their studies. While computers and tablets were intended for learning, students often used them for gaming or browsing the internet during school hours, reducing classroom engagement.

Recognizing these challenges, Sweden has decided to reverse course. From 2022 to 2025, the government will invest €104 million to provide every student with paper textbooks for each subject. The decision reflects the government’s understanding that (1)_____ technology has its advantages, traditional teaching methods are vital for fostering critical thinking and comprehension skills.

“This move is about finding a balance,” said Education Minister Lena Johansson. “We’re not abandoning digital tools altogether, but we’re ensuring that they complement rather than replace the foundational aspects of learning.” By reinstating printed material, Sweden hopes to rebuild fundamental learning skills (2)_____ continuing to use digital tools where they can add value. The new approach aims to harmonize digital and traditional methods to create a more comprehensive educational experience.

Chinese divers surrounded by sharks

Jan 03, 2025

[1] Nine Chinese individuals, including seven tourists and two diving instructors, went missing while diving in Palau on December 26.

[2] Experienced diving instructor Liu Xin and another diving guide took seven Chinese tourists to dive on December 26 around 9:30 am. As the dive was coming to an end, Liu sent a signal to the surface. Typically, after seeing the signal, the captain would slowly maneuver the boat to follow the divers, allowing them to board once they floated off. __________ when they surfaced, they could not locate the boat.

[3] They couid only float in the sea for nearly three hours, believing that someone would come to rescue them, but the ocean current changed direction, and they were swept by currents into an area between two islands. At that point, a new threat emerged. The underwater terrain shifted, and the most physically fit diver among the nine felt as if he had stepped on something. Liu looked down and noticed that a bull shark was circling around his feet, along with six other sharks nearby.

[4] Liu swiftly assembled everyone to make themselves appear larger as most wild animals typically target creatures that are smaller and tend to avoid approaching larger groups. Fortunately, with Liu and the entire team huddled together, the sharks refrained from acting aggressively, and they avoided any danger.

[5] By evening, they had gone nearly 11 hours without food. To conserve their energy, they used their diving masks to collect rainwater and drank it to stay hydrated. After spending too much time in the water, they started to feel cold, so they used their buoyancy devices to hold each other to stay together and preserve warmth. And, to prevent falling asleep and risking hypothermia, they took turns calling out their numbers every 30 minutes to stay alert.

[6] After drifting in the water for about 27 hours, a rescue boat located the nine individuals.

[7] "Alli nine Chinese citizens who went missing while diving in Palau have been rescued and are reported to be in stable condition", the Chinese Embassy in the Federated States of Micronesia said on Friday.

[8] Liu said that the key reasons for their safe return included the selfless assistance from fellow travelers, the favorable ocean currents that kept them in proximity to their initial location, and, most importantly, the excellent physical condition and positive attitude of the group. "Throughout those 20-plus hours, we maintained a lighthearted atmosphere, chatting and laughing without any complaints," Liu said.

TITLE: Asteroid probe snaps rare images of Martian Moon

March 13, 2025 3:29 PM

By Agence France-Press

Paris -
On the way to investigate the scene of a historic asteroid collision, a European spacecraft swung by Mars and captured rare images of the red planet's mysterious small moon Deimos, the European Space Agency said Thursday.

Europe's HERA mission is aiming to find out how much of an impact a NASA spacecraft made when it deliberately smashed into an asteroid in 2022 in the first test of our planetary defenses.

But HERA will not reach the asteroid - which is 11 million kilometers from Earth in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter - until late 2026.

On the long voyage there, the spacecraft swung around Mars on Wednesday.

The spacecraft used the planet's gravity to get a "kick" that also changed its direction and saved fuel, mission analyst Pablo Munoz told a press conference.

For an hour, HERA flew as close as 5,600 kilometers from the Martian surface, at a speed of 33,480 kilometers an hour.

It used the opportunity to test some of its scientific instruments, snapping around 600 pictures, including rare ones of Deimos.

The lumpy, 12.5-kilometer-wide moon is the smaller and less well-known of the two moons of Mars.

Exactly how Deimos and the bigger Phobos were formed remains a matter of debate.

Some scientists believe they were once asteroids that were captured in the gravity of Mars, while others thinkthey could have been shot from a massive impact on the surface.

The new images add "another piece of the puzzle" to efforts to determine their origin, Marcel Popescu of the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy said.

There are hopes that data from HERA's "HyperScout" and thermal infrared imagers which observe colors beyond the limits of the human eye - will shed light on this mystery by discovering more about the moon's composition.

Those infrared imagers are why the red planet appears blue in some of the photos.

Next, HERA will turn its focus back to asteroid Dimorphos. When NASA's DART mission smashed into Dimorphos in 2022, it shortened the 160-meter-wide asteroid's orbit around its big brother Didymos by 33 minutes.

Although Dimorphos itself posed no threat to Earth, HERA intends to discover whether this technique could be an effective way for Earth to defend itself against possibly existence-threatening asteroids in the future.

Space agencies have been working to ramp up Earth's planetary defences, monitoring for potential threats so they can be dealt with as soon as possible.

Earlier this year, a newly discovered asteroid capable of destroying a city was briefly given a more than 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

However further observations sent the chances of a direct hit back down to nearly zero.

Richard Moissl, head of the ESA's planetary defense office, said that asteroid, 2024 YR, followed a pattern that will become more common.

As we get better at scanning the skies, "we will discover asteroids at a higher rate," he said.

The ESA is developing a secondary planetary defense mission to observe the 350-meter-wide asteroid Apophis, which will fly just 32,000 kilometers from Earth on April 13, 2029.

If approved by the ESA's ministerial council, the Ramses mission will launch in 2028, reaching the asteroid two months before it approaches Earth.

- a) conclusion.
- b) result.
- c) time.
- d) contrast.
- e) uncertainty.

TEXT I

The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster - instead, it is at risk of failing.

Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profounp influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River. It forms part of the global ocean "conveyor belt" connecting the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The system regulates Earth's climate and pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe. But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current.

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is like a moat around the icy continent. The current helps to keep warm water at bay, protecting vulnerable ice sheets. It also acts as a barrier to invasive species such as southern bull kelp and any animals hitching a ride on these rafts, spreading them out as they drift towards the continent. It also plays a big part in regulating the Earth's climate.

The influence of climate change:
Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous research suggested one vital part of this conveyor belt could be headed for a catastrophic collapse. Theoretically, warming water around Antarctica should speed up the current. This is because density changes and winds around Antarctica dictate the strength of the current. Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and this should be enough to speed up the current.

Far-reaching consequences:
The consequences of a weaker Antarctic Circumpolar Current are profound and far-reaching. As the main current that circulates nutrient-rich waters around Antarctica, it plays a crucial role in the Antarctic ecosystem. Weakening of the current could reduce biodiversity and decrease the productivity of fisheries that many coastal communities rely on. It could also aid the entry of invasive species such as southern bull kelp to Antarctica, disrupting local ecosystems and food webs.

Read text IV to answer question.

In order to contribute with defense and sovereignty over Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters, the Brazilian Navy has concentrated its efforts on the Submarine Development Program (PROSUB), which will expand the Force's operational capacity to protect and preserve our Blue Amazon*. As part of the new Growth Acceleration Program PAC, of the Federal Government, and under coordination of the Navy Command, PROSUB was created in 2008, comprising the construction of an industrial Infrastructure and Support for the operation and maintenance of submarines, the construction of four conventional submarines and the construction project of the first Brazilian conventionally armed submarine with nuclear propulsion.

Supported by three pillars: technology transfer, except in the nuclear area, nationalization of equipment and systems, and personnel training, the Program is enabling the first industrial complex and logistical support dedicated to naval means with nuclear propulsion in the southern hemisphere.

Built in an area of 750 thousand square meters, the Itaguaí Naval Complex is one of the largest engineering works in the country, designed to build and house the new generation of Brazilian submarines. The first of four Brazilian conventional submarines (S-BR), the Submarine "Riachuelo" (S-40) was launched to the sea on December 14th, 2018. In sequence, the Humaitá (S-41) was launched in 2020; the Tonelero (S-42), in 2024 and the Almirante Karam (S-43), in 2025.

The first Brazilian conventionally armed submarine with nuclear propulsion, main scope of the program, will be named "Álvaro Alberto", a tribute to the Admiral who was the pioneer in the use of nuclear technology in the country. The completion of the Program will also strengthen several sectors of the national industry of strategic importance for the country's economic development.

*Blue Amazon (Amazônia Azul) is the name given to Brazil's jurisdictional waters and continental shelf since 2004, covering roughly 5.7 million maritime area in the South Atlantic. It is a strategic concept highlighting immense economic (oil, fishing, minerals) and biodiversity resources, deemed as vital for national security as the land-based (Green) Amazon rainforest.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão:

Knowledge of a language enables you to combine sounds to form words, words to form phrases, and phrases to form sentences. You cannot buy a dictionary or phrase book of any language with all the sentences of the language. No dictionary can list all the possible sentences, because the number of sentences in a language is infinite. Knowing a language means being able to produce and understand new sentences never spoken before. This is the creative aspect of language. Not every speaker can create great literature, but everybody who knows a language can create and understand new sentences.

This creative aspect of language is quite easy to illustrate. If for every sentence in the language a longer sentence can be formed, then there is no limit to the number of sentences. If you know English, you have the knowledge to add any number of adjectives as modifiers to a noun and to form sentences with indefinite numbers of clauses.

All human languages permit their speakers to increase the length and complexity of sentences in these ways; creativity is a universal property of human language.

Our knowledge of language not only allows us to produce and understand an infinite number of well-formed (even if silly and illogical) sentences, but also permits us to distinguish well-formed (grammatical) sentences from ill-formed (ungrammatical) sentences – or non-sentences.

(Fromkin, Rodman and Hyams, An Introduction to Language, 2013. Adaptado)

The sentence in the fourth paragraph displays one correct use of paired conjunctions.

The alternative in which the paired conjunctions help form a grammatically correct sentence is:
- a) Not only Jack tried to fetch the mouse, but also his sister.
- b) Evelyn likes not only to hike but also swimming.
- c) The team is neither lazy nor lack motivation.
- d) He is both intelligent and has a good sense of humor.
- e) The result was neither good nor entirely bad.
