World Englishes and ELF have created a dilemma for English teachers, especially those in non-speaking English countries. This dilemma involves mainly the teaching of:
Após chuvas torrenciais, a diretoria de um Parque Nacional estendeu faixas em algumas áreas, com os dizeres “Cross this line at your own risk”.
From text I, it can be deduced that
machines can be good or bad depending on the use that is made of them.
1 On any person who desires such queer prizes, New
York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gift of
privacy. It is this largess that accounts for the presence
4 within the city’s walls of a considerable section of the
population; for the residents of Manhattan are to a large
extent strangers who have pulled up stakes somewhere and
7 come to town, seeking sanctuary or fulfillment or some
greater or lesser grail. The capacity to make such dubious
gifts is a mysterious quality of New York. It can destroy an
10 individual, or it can fulfill him, depending a good deal on
luck. No one should come to New York to live unless he is
willing to be lucky.

There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the
New York of the man or woman who was born here, who
16 takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its
turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the
New York of the commuter—the city that is devoured by
19 locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the
New York of the person who was born somewhere else and
came to New York in quest of something. Of these three
22 trembling cities the greatest is the last—the city of final
destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that
accounts for New York’s high-strung disposition, its
25 poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its
incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its
tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but
28 the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer
arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum,
or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to
31 escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or
a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his
suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each
34 embraces New York with the intense excitement of first
love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an
adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the

Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
5 Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
10 Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
15 The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
20 Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over
Thought I’d something more to say
Home, home again
25 I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
30 Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
