(Título omitidopropositadamente)

(CNN) - A couple abandoned their baby at an airport check-in desk in Tel Aviv, Israel after arriving without a ticket for the child. The pair, who have not been identified, were checking in for a Ryanair flight from Ben Gurion International Airport to Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday with the infant. It emerged that the baby did not have a ticket, and the couple headed off to board the flight - leaving their child behind on the airline check-in counter.

"The matter was referred to police", a spokeswoman for Ryanair told CNN in an email. She said: "These passengers traveling from Tel Aviv to Brussels presented at check-in without a booking for their infant. They then proceeded to security leaving the infant behind at check-in. The check-in agent at Ben Gurion Airport contacted Airport Security, who retrieved these passengers, and this is now a matter for local police."

According to Ryanair's website, "infants can be included in a flight reservation during the online booking process." When making plans to travel with an infant, a pop-up message appears on the site stating that there is a €25 ($27) charge - or the local currency equivalent - for each one-way flight the baby takes while sitting on an adult's lap. A seat must be paid for by separate arrangement if the adults want the baby to travel in a car seat.

The Israeli Airport Authority confirmed the episode to CNN and said in a statement: "A couple and an infant with Belgian passports arrived for a flight at Terminal 1 without a ticket for the baby. The couple also arrived late for the flight, once the check-in for the flight was closed. The couple left the infant seat with the baby and ran toward the security checks at Terminal 1 in an attempt to reach the boarding gate for the flight."

A spokesman for Israel Police told CNN in a phone call that the matter appeared to have been resolved by the time police arrived on the scene. He said: "The baby was with the parents and there's no further investigation."

Vamos falar sobre a questão que trata do custo da passagem aérea para bebês que viajam no colo dos adultos. No texto, está explicado que para incluir um bebê na reserva de voo, há uma taxa de 25 euros (ou o equivalente na moeda local) por voo na modalidade de viagem com o bebê no colo de um adulto. Aliás, o valor exato mencionado é €25 para cada trecho, ou seja, para cada voo individual, e isso é cobrado durante a reserva online.

Como a questão pergunta sobre o custo da passagem de ida e volta (round-trip), precisamos considerar que o bebê fará dois voos: a ida e a volta. Então, devemos somar os valores para ambos os trajetos para obter o custo total da passagem do bebê. Como cada trecho custa €25, o total para ida e volta será 25 + 25 = 50 euros.

Portanto, a resposta correta é a letra d), que indica € 50 para o bilhete de ida e volta do bebê sentado no colo do adulto.

General observation suggests that it is those who start to learn English after their school years who are most likely to have serious difficulties in acquiring intelligible pronunciation, with the degree of difficulty increasing markedly with age. This difficulty has nothing to do with intelligence or level of education, or even with knowledge of English grammar and vocabulary.
Of course, there is no simple answer to why pronunciation is so difficult to learn — indeed, there is a whole range of theoretical perspectives on the question. What is generally accepted among psycholinguists and phonologists who specialized in this area is that the difficulty in learning to pronounce a foreign language is cognitive rather than physical, and that it has something to do with the way “raw sound” is categorized or conceptualized in using speech.
Many learners of English as a second language have major difficulties with English pronunciation even after years of learning the language. This often results in them facing difficulties in areas such as finding employment. Up to a certain proficiency standard, the fault which most severely impairs the communication process in EFL/ESL learners is pronunciation, not vocabulary or grammar.

The history of language study illustrates widely divergent attitudes concerning the relationship between writing and speech. Written language was the medium of literature, and, thus, a source of standards of linguistic excellence. It was felt to provide language with permanence and authority. The rules of grammar were, accordingly, illustrated exclusively from written texts.
The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules, and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written style.
There was sporadic criticism of this viewpoint throughout the 19th century, but it was not until the 20th century that an alternative approach became widespread. This approach pointed out that speech is many thousands of years older than writing; that it develops naturally in children (whereas writing has to be artificially taught); and that writing systems are derivative — mostly based on sounds of speech.

Whatever training is given there should always be a permanent concern about the naturalness and spontaneity of everyday speech rather than an artificial sound production for the sake of preserving a “correct” pronunciation.
This is, in fact, a crucial issue, since if too much care is demanded from the student, this may turn out to be an undesirable blockage to another more important factor, namely, fluency. Perhaps, and even worse, if over-careful pronunciation habits are developed, this will certainly cause difficulties for the oral comprehension, as the students will expect to hear sounds, words and utterances the way they personally produce them.

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.

Read the text and answer question.

More and more of Japan’s universities are moving toward teaching their classes in English, not just for those on exchange programs, but for domestic students.

The University of Tokyo’s graduate school of engineering triggered a wave of online debate earlier this year when it announced that it would be teaching all classes in English “as a general rule” from 2026.

Many netizens argued that the move was unfair, most Japanese students have studied mostly, if not exclusively, in Japanese their entire lives, leaving them ill-equipped to learn university-level English fast enough, and a lot of faculty members may not be set up to suddenly teach advanced material in English.

The University of Tokyo’s announcement came just as private universities such as Sophia and Waseda were rolling out quieter, more incremental versions of similar initiatives. “The push has been there for decades,” said Laurie Wesselhoff, a cultural anthropologist and lecturer at Keio University.

When Wesselhoff started at Keio about 30 years ago, universities were talking about offering more classes in English, but “there wasn’t much standardization or ministry guidance,” she said.

Instead, schools built English programs for returnee Japanese students and for international students, rather than the bulk of domestic undergraduates. The result, she said, was English tracks that looked international on paper but were socially and academically segregated between international and domestic students.

Source: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/03/japan/more-japanese-universitiespushing-english-classes/

Based on the information presented in the final paragraph, earlier English-language academic programs in Japanese universities tended to
- a) function primarily as specialized tracks designed for students with international exposure, rather than the majority of local undergraduates.
- b) attract a balanced mixture of domestic and international students in integrated learning environments.
- c) follow a unified national framework established by the Ministry of Education.
- d) prioritize language acquisition over disciplinary knowledge.
- e) focus mainly on short-term exchange programs for foreign students.

- a) many Japanese universities lack sufficient technological infrastructure to offer courses online.
- b) both students and faculty members might face difficulties adapting rapidly to English as the primary language of instruction.
- c) the Japanese government had imposed strict regulations requiring universities to adopt English in all academic programs.
- d) international students would receive fewer opportunities within Japanese higher education institutions.
- e) the initiative would immediately replace Japanese as the official language of higher education in the country.

PRINCIPLES AND FOUNDATIONS OF DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT IN SCHOOL

Democratic management in school is a topic that has gained prominence in recent decades and has established itself as an essential concept to promote improvements in the educational environment. This management model is based on the collaboration and active participation of all those involved in the educational process, including students, teachers, parents, and the community. By fostering this participation, it seeks not only an improvement in pedagogical practices, but also a cultural transformation in educational institutions. The inclusion of diverse voices and perspectives is key to building a space that is truly representative and capable of meeting everyone's demands.

One of the main pillars of democratic management is the appreciation of diversity. Recognizing the plurality of opinions and experiences within the school community provides a richer environment for the exchange of ideas and mutual learning. As Alvarenga and Silva (2023) state, "deliberation in school management promotes an invitation to new perspectives", implying that active participation in decision-making can result in more innovative pedagogical practices that are appropriate to local realities. This reaffirms the importance of constant dialogue among all participants in the educational community.

In addition, the construction of a collaborative culture is essential to make democratic management effective. In order for everyone to feel part of the process, it is necessary to create a climate of trust and mutual respect where each other's contributions are valued. This model promotes not only engagement but also social responsibility, an aspect that can be widely developed when students are encouraged to become active agents within their own education.

Source: REVISTA ARACÊ, São José dos Pinhais, v.7, n.3, p.12840-12856, 2025

In the excerpt “deliberation in school management promotes an invitation to new perspectives”, the authors imply that deliberation:
- a) restricts participation to individuals with formal authority.
- b) reinforces administrative centralization within schools.
- c) replaces pedagogical planning with spontaneous decisions.
- d) facilitates the emergence of innovative educational practices.
- e) discourages collaborative engagement among stakeholders.
