Powerful storm knocks out power to 1.4 million homes in Brazil’s largest city
SAO PAULO (AP) — Around 1.4 million households in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were without power on Saturday almost 24 hours after a brief but powerful storm swept through South America’s largest metropolis. At least seven people were killed.
Officials in Sao Paulo state said that record winds of up to 67 mph (108 kph) knocked down transmission lines and destroyed trees, causing severe damage in some parts. The storm also shut down several airports and interrupted water service in several areas, according to the state government.
Authorities originally expected to restore power within a few hours. But several neighborhoods in the metropolitan area, which is home to 21 million people, were still in the dark on Saturday, and authorities were urging residents to limit their consumption of water.

Even before they start reading the text “Powerful storm knocks
out power to 1.4 million homes in Brazil’s largest city”, some
students say they will not be able to understand it. And
immediately mention the words “knock”, “households” and
“swept”, in the headline and the first paragraph.
The literature about teaching reading in a second language mentions a variety of methods and approaches to deal with unknown vocabulary. Materials and teachers may instruct learners to
I. make use of the dictionary: they will not understand the text properly if they do not know all the words in it.
II. look for the pronunciation of the unknown words: the association between sound and spelling always helps comprehension.
III. ignore vocabulary difficulties and focus on grammar: meaning does not derive from words in isolation but from sentence structures.
IV. Pay attention to context and appeal to background knowledge on the subject: making inferences is key to learning a new language.
V. Concentrate on text meaning rather than word meaning: words may be ignored if not essential to the comprehension of the text’s main points.

Considere a seguinte situação:
Durante uma aula de Língua Inglesa, a professora decide realizar uma atividade para desenvolver a habilidade de produção oral dos alunos. Ela propõe que cada estudante escolha um objeto pessoal significativo e, sem revelar o objeto, descreva-o aos colegas usando apenas o idioma inglês. No entanto, para tornar o desafio mais interessante, a professora estabelece que os alunos não podem usar palavras relacionadasdiretamente ao objeto em suas descrições.
A opção mais adequada para enfrentar o desafio proposto pela professora e promover a habilidade de produção oral dos alunos seria:

As origens teóricas da perspectiva reflexiva sobre a prática remontam a John Dewey, que, na década de 30 do século passado, definiu ação reflexiva como o exame ativo, voluntário, persistente e rigoroso de nossas crenças e ações, à luz dos fundamentos que as sustentam e das consequências a que conduzem. Ao caracterizar a reflexão como uma forma especializada de pensar, Dewey a diferencia do ato de rotina, que, embora fundamental ao ser humano, é guiado por impulso, hábito, tradição ou submissão à autoridade. A reflexão, ao contrário, baseia-se na vontade, no pensamento, em atitudes de questionamento e curiosidade.

The postmethod condition is a sustainable state of affairs that compels us to fundamentally restructure our view of language teaching and teacher education. It urges us to review the character and content of classroom teaching in all its pedagogical and ideological perspectives. It drives us to streamline our teacher education by refiguring the reified relationship between theory and practice.

Language plays a central role in shaping the cultural
and social identity of individuals and communities. As a
medium for communication, it also serves as a vehicle
for transmitting traditions, values, and narratives across
generations. In a globalized world, the interaction
between local languages and dominant global
languages, such as English, raises questions about the
preservation of cultural identity and the impact of
linguistic choices on social dynamics.

How were the first 'voice mails' sent? In envelopes
“Hello Mother, Dad, and Blanche,” a quiet voice says above the cracks and pops of an old vinyl record, which has clearly been played many times over. “How’s everything at home? I’m recording this from Dallas…from this very little place where there are pinball machines and many other things like that…”
The disc is small, seven inches across, dated ___________ 1954. The faded green label shows that the speaker’s name is “Gene,” the recording addressed to “Folks.” Gene suggests in his minute-long message that he is traveling—“seeing America”—and tells his family not to worry about him.
“I should complete my trip sometime around Thanksgiving. I hope you received my letter and I, in turn, hope to receive some of the letters that you sent me.”
This largely forgotten sound is one of the world’s early “voice mails.” During the first half of the 20th century, these audio letters and other messages were recorded largely in booths, pressed onto metal discs and vinyl records, and mailed in places all over the world. Best known today for playing music at home, record players were then being used as a means of _____________ over long distances.
The idea of transporting a person’s voice had _________ large in the human imagination for some three centuries before it was finally achieved with the invention of the phonograph in the late 19th century. Historical documents from the Qing Dynasty in 16th-century China suggest the existence of a mysterious device called the “thousand-mile speaker,” a wooden cylinder that could be spoken into and sealed, such that the recipient could still hear the reverberations when opening it back up.

There are many health benefits of owning a pet. They can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize. Pets can help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship.
