Speakers of different languages have different sounds. Thus, as there is no equivalent in English for the ‘click’ in the South African language Xhosa, English speakers find it difficult to produce. British speakers mangle French vowels because they are not the same as the English ones. Japanese speakers, on the other hand, do not have different phonemes for /l/ and /r/ and so have difficulty differentiating between them.


Whereas in some languages there seems to be a close relationship between sounds and spelling, in English this is often not the case. The sound /ʌ/, for example, can be realized in a number of different spellings (e.g. won, young, funny, flood). The letters ou, on the other hand, can be pronounced in a number of different ways (e.g. enough, through, though, and even journey). A lot depends on the sounds that come before or after them, but the fact remains that we spell some sounds in a variety of different ways, and we have a variety of different sounds for the same spelling.

For the first time, 2025 will see quantum computers leave labs and research institutions and actually deploy into the networks and data centers of real-world customers. For quantum computing companies, this will be a real test of steel.

It’s one thing to have a groundbreaking, powerful quantum computer that only works on its very best day — when the lab conditions are perfect and when the team of PhDs operating it are at the top of their game. But the reality is that quantum computers need to work on their worst days too — in the real world, in real organizations. The quantum computing companies that land on top will be the ones that have built for this challenge since day one.

People tend to hear the words “quantum computing” and jump straight to science fiction or the multiverse. And while it seems daunting, we’ve actually reached a point where the “quantum” part of quantum computing is the easiest bit — it’s the “computing” that is inherently complex. For those on the front lines of building powerful quantum computers, this means it’s no longer a physics challenge — it’s an engineering one.

Companies won’t need to know the ins and outs of quantum computers in order to leverage its unprecedented power — they’ll simply benefit from its ability to solve the problems that could never be solved on classical computers.

Regarding the text, judge the following item.

The main goal of quantum computing is improving classical computing power to solve problems faster.

Texto 4

There are 30 million slaves in the world. 60,000 only in the U.S.

We think of slavery as a practice of the past, an image from Roman colonies or 18th-century American plantations, but the practice of enslaving human beings as property still exists. There are 29.8 million people living as slaves right now, according to a comprehensive new report issued by the Australia-based Walk Free Foundation.
This is not some softened, by-modernstandards definition of slavery. These 30 million people are living as forced laborers, forced prostitutes, child soldiers, child brides in forced marriages and, in all ways that matter, as pieces of property, chattel in the servitude of absolute ownership. Walk Free investigated 162 countries and found slaves in every single one. But thepractice is far worse in some countries than others.
The country where you are most likely to be enslaved is Mauritania. Although this vast West African nation has tried three times to outlaw slavery within its borders, it remains so common that it is nearly normal. The report estimates that four percent of Mauritania is enslaved – one out of every 25 people. (The aid group SOS Slavery, using a broader definition of slavery, estimated several years ago that as many as 20 percent of Mauritanians might be enslaved.)

TEXTO PARA A QUESTÃO


We' ve been given no shortage of digital tools that should, in theory, help us work better, with more focus and efficiency, and connect us more easily with our colleagues. Instead, email, instant messaging, remote-meeting apps, work-flow and project-management software can feel like buckets with holes in the bottom, maddeningly inadequate to the task of keeping us from drowning in work. It' s clear that something in the great digital-workplace experiment has gone wrong. Or maybe it' s more accurate to say that it' s still too early to expect that we would have figured out how to make things go right. "We' re working now with new technologies that only emerged in the "90s," says Cal Newport, a Georgetown computer-science professor. "The idea that we immediately figured out the best way to use them is ahistorical. Of course we haven' t gotten it right yet."

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) was a 1970s reaction to much that had gone before, and has guiding principles: first, language is not just patterns of grammar with vocabulary items slotted in; it also involves language functions such as inviting, agreeing and disagreeing, suggesting, etc., which students should learn how to perform using a variety of language exponents (e.g. we can invite by saying “Would you like to come to the cinema?’, ‘D’you fancy coming to the cinema?’, ‘What about coming to the cinema?’, ‘How about a film?’, ‘Are you on for a film?, etc). Students also need to be aware of the need for appropriacy when talking and writing to people in terms of the kind of language they use (formal, informal, tentative, technical, etc). CLT is not just about the language; it is actually about how it is used.

The second principle of Communicative Language Teaching is that if students get enough exposure to language, and opportunities for language use, and if they are motivated, then language learning will take care of itself. Thus, CLT has a lot in common with the acquisition view of language absorption. As a result, the focus of much CLT has been on students communicating real messages, and not just grammatically controlled language. The deployment of many communicative activities, where students use all and any language they know to communicate, shows this aspect of CLT at work.

NO KID-DING Why you should never let your kids take a bag on the plane − even if it's free


(§ 1) A TRAVEL expert has revealed you should never let your kids bring a bag on the plane if you want a stress-free journey.


(§ 2) Experienced flyer, Vanessa Grant recommends parents don't let their kids take a bag with them after sharing her recent experience of travelling with her kids - aged 8 and 11.


(§ 3) "Smart packing is what really saved us," she said.


(§ 4) Vanessa did two long-haul flights with her family from Canada to Indonesia which went smoothly because the kids didn't have bags, she claims.


(§ 5) It is important to "instil a sense of responsibility" in kids however, it is not worth the stress of tracking down a lost backpack __ a busy international airport, according to the travel expert.


(§ 6) Vanessa explained: "The stakes are just too high and even replacing a charging cord can be pricey at a duty-free shop, let alone a whole backpack's worth of stuff."


(§ 7) It is also important to bring the right type of carry-on when travelling with your family, to make your life a lot easier.


(§ 8) A small rolling suitcase is perfect for long-haul flights and "is like the clown car of carry-ons".


(§ 9) Vanessa added: "It fits a change of clothes for three of us, plus toiletries and some snacks."


(§ 10) Instead of storing your carry-on in the overhead bins you should put it __ the seat of your shortest child so they'll be able to rest their feet on it, Vanessa recommends.


(§ 11) This clever hack will stop your child from complaining as it is "uncomfortable to have your legs hanging for hours".


(§ 12) Packing a change of clothes for everyone will ensure you have a smoother journey, according to the experienced flyer.


(§ 13) "Spills and vomiting can happen to anyone," she said.


(§ 14) Vanessa added: "One of my kids lost multiple socks __ the plane and in the hotel.


(§ 15) "Luckily most airlines give passengers a little package including a toothbrush and toothpaste, ear plugs, an eye mask and socks so we had a few extra pairs."


(§ 16) Bringing snacks for your kids can end up saving a lot of money as they likely won't eat all the food offered by airlines, "unless your child is a unicorn".


(§ 17) Vanessa also recommends bringing an empty water bottle you can fill up before getting on the plane.


(§ 18) Most kids on flights are thrilled to get "hours of uninterrupted screen time, both on their tablets and thescreens on the back of seats in front of them".


(§ 19) However, screens even for kids can get old quickly.


(§ 20) Parents should bring alternative activities for their children.


(§ 21) Vanessa brought a book, notepad and pens which kept them entertained throughout the flight.


(§ 22) Forgetting either your charger or headphones can spoil the whole journey, the travel expert claims.


(§ 23) Parents will need the chargers to make sure their children can stay entertained on the screens.


(§ 24) "We brought headphones for everyone," Vanessa said.


(§ 25) She added: "No one—including you—wants to hear the sound effects from your kid's favourite video game for hours on end."

Capital One Sued Over Consumer-Data Disclosures to Meta, Google


Capital One Financial Corp. is facing a proposed class action alleging the financial giant disclosed the personal and financial information of millions of consumers to Meta Platforms Inc., Google LLC, Microsoft Corp., and other third parties without their consent in violation of state and federal privacy laws.

Vishal Shah and three other named plaintiffs accused Capital One of “knowingly and secretly” installing online tracking tools from third-party software providers and data-analytics companies on its website, allowing those third parties to collect information arising from consumer visits there.

Data allegedly disclosed to the third parties included information arising from consumers’ interactions with the website, information about bank and credit card accounts, information disclosed on credit card application forms, and employment information, according to the complaint filed Monday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Other third parties identified in the complaint included DoubleClick Inc., NewRelic Inc., Adobe Inc., Everest Technologies Inc., Kenshoo Ltd., Snowplow Analytics Ltd., BioCatch Inc., and Tealium Inc.

No third party is named as a defendant.

Meta’s Facebook and the others used the information for their own purposes, including for marketing and advertising, and made further disclosures to other third parties “who will profit off of the use of that information,” the complaint said. The plaintiffs seek to represent a nationwide class and a California subclass of people whose information was disclosed by Capital One without their consent.

The complaint alleges negligence, negligence per se, invasion of privacy, breach of express contract, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, bailment, breach of confidence, declaratory judgment, and violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, the Consumer Protection Law, the Consumer Privacy Act, the Customer Records Act, and the Invasion of Privacy Act. The plaintiffs are seeking actual, compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages; three years of credit-monitoring services for class members; restitution and disgorgement; attorneys’ fees and costs; and pre- and post-judgment interest.

Village’s Amateur Archaeologists Find Lost Tudor Palace


  1. When a group of amateur archaeologists set out to find the buried remains of a Tudor palace
  2. in their Northamptonshire village five years ago, they knew the odds were against them. “Many
  3. of us were brought up in the village, and you hear about this lost palace, and wonder whether
  4. it’s a myth or real. So we just wanted to find it”, said Chris Close, the chair of the Collyweston
  5. Historical and Preservation Society (Chaps) which made the discovery of the Palace of
  6. Collyweston in a back garden this year. “But we’re a bunch of amateurs. We had no money, no
  7. expertise, no plans, no artist impressions to go off, and nothing remaining of the palace. It was
  8. naivety and just hard work that has led us to it”.
  9. The site was found using geophysical surveys and ground-penetrating radar. Various
  10. attempts had been made in the 1980s and 90s to find Collyweston Palace, the home of Henry
  11. VII’s mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort. However, without the advantage of modern technology,
  12. none had succeeded. The palace was famous during the 15th century and several historic events
  13. took place there. The pre-wedding celebrations of Margaret Tudor to James IV of Scotland in
  14. 1503 took place in the palace, and Henry VIII is recorded as holding court there on 16 and 17
  15. October 1541. By the mid-17th century, it had fallen into disrepair, and until the Chaps dig
  16. uncovered the palace walls in March, there was very little remaining evidence of its existence.
  17. “A number of things have only really come to light as we’ve done this project”, said Close.
  18. “As you do more and more research, and various different records start to become unearthed,
  19. we realized Collyweston had privy councils being run from here, which is of massive national
  20. importance”. Historians from the University of York helped verify the group’s findings and identify
  21. the palace through some uncovered stone moldings, and will work with Chaps on more
  22. excavations to further reveal the structure and conserve it for the future.
  23. The Chaps team, which comprises more than 80 members ranging from teenagers to people
  24. in their 70s and 80s, first set out their plan to find the palace in March 2018, using “local folktales
  25. and hearsay” to help refine their search area. They carried out geophysical surveys and used
  26. ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to help reveal the location of the palace walls, before securing
  27. permission from homeowners to excavate in gardens. “We’ve done it all on an absolute
  28. shoestring”, said Close. “We’ve basically done an £80,000-£90,000 project for roughly £13,000.
  29. For us, being a little society, to have achieved this with no money, or expertise, or plans, I think
  30. it’s something that the whole society should be proud of”.

ASTEROID WARNING Elon Musk's web of satellites make it harder to detect dangerous near-Earth asteroids, scientists warn

Elon Musk's web of satellites makes it harder to detect dangerous near-Earth asteroids, scientists have warned.

The number of satellites orbiting Earth has soared from just a few hundred in 1986 to 10,000 today.

Another tenfold increase is expected over the coming decade - much of it driven by Musk's Starlink network.

Starlink is a fleet of satellites which brings internet to people with little or no signal - including troops in Ukraine.

But more than 100 astronomers have now warned against launching more "megaconstellations" of satellites.

The boffins said clogging up the Earth's orbit with satellites could block their telescopes' view of outer space.

Professor Robert McMillan told Space: "Artificial satellites, even those invisible to the naked eye, can obstruct astronomical observations.

"These observations help detect asteroids and understand our place in the universe.

"The potentially long-term environmental harms of deploying tens of thousands of satellites are still unclear."

Light streaks from Starlink have dazzled a California telescope which scans the sky for exploding stars and dangerous near-Earth asteroids.

A study found that Musk's satellites could stop the Zwicky Transient Facility picking up asteroids coming from the sun.

Around one in five snaps from the huge telescope have been affected, Scientific American reports.

Expert Przemek Mróz said: "We don't expect Starlink satellites to affect non-twilight images.

"But if the satellite constellation of other companies goes into higher orbits, this could cause problems for non-twilight observations."

Co-author Tom Prince said: "There is a small chance that we would miss an asteroid or another event hidden behind a satellite streak."

TEXT:


Making homework count

By Stephanie Hirschman

October 8, 2024



Homework and independent study can make a massive contribution to students’ progress, particularly when classes don’t meet daily, or students aren’t living, working or studying in anglophone environments. There are several issues to consider when setting homework.

Why students are doing homework is a fundamental question which can cover a wide spectrum of reasons. The most obvious is that it offers both teachers and students a chance to check on learning and identify areas for further review and consolidation. Exam preparation courses make use of homework to consolidate and accelerate learning and deliver results. Finally, some institutions require teachers to set homework and some clients, for example parents, believe that a course with homework offers better value for money.

Whatever the reason behind setting homework, be clear with students about how they’ll benefit from the assignment, how to do it effectively, how long they should spend on it and how it will be marked.

The homework that many people expect from a language course is “more of the same” exercises, that is, those that offer extra opportunities to practice grammar or vocabulary from the lesson.

It is also possible to bring in practice from other online or print sources, but this can sometimes be problematic, especially for lower levels. Make sure that the resource you choose maps onto the lesson content without placing extra demands on students, for example, by introducing a completely different context or topic with unfamiliar vocabulary to practice a grammar point. You also need to make sure that terminology is consistent – students who are expecting to practice present continuous may not recognize that it is also called present progressive. With lower levels, go over the instructions and/or demonstrate one of the exercises so they know how to get started.

It's worth mentioning here that flipped learning may also be a useful approach to homework. This is where students preview part of the lesson plan (like a reading or listening task) or research a general topic independently before class in order to maximize opportunities for communicative activities during the lesson.

Other types of homework include semi-controlled practice of target language. Students could write personal sentences including vocabulary items or grammatical structures from the class – note that they may need training to do this. A sentence like, “The milk went off,” is not as effective for learning as, “We had no milk for the coffee this morning – it went off because we didn’t put it in the fridge last night.” You may wish to provide some question or example prompts as support.

An unusual and motivating type of speaking homework is a personalized bingo game. Students create their own bingo card, which might be a 4x4 grid. In each cell, they write a key word or structure from the lesson that they wish to practice during the next few days. They carry the card around in their pocket, and every time they use an item of target language, they can tick it off, aiming to complete a line. This is especially suitable for students who are living, working or studying in anglophone environments. Teachers can monitor progress regularly and even offer small prizes.

The question of what teachers actually do with homework also has multiple possible responses, which will depend on the teaching context. At one end of the spectrum, if there is good buy-in from the students, teachers may only need to point them towards a selected set of “more of the same” exercises and make sure the answers are accessible for self-checking. Make it clear that you welcome questions if anything isn’t clear and test regularly to check understanding.

Whatever choices you make about homework, here’s one final tip. It’s best to complete assignments the day after receiving them and not on the same day. Research on spaced repetition shows that reviewing information after around 24 hours, “just before you forget it,” is the most effective way to boost retention.
