ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
It is a common disorder that often results in learning difficulties.
People with this disorder act impulsively and are easily
distracted. They may also exhibit hyperactive behavior. While
some specialists consider ADHD a behavioral disorder, others
call it a cognitive disorder.
The cause of ADHD is unknown. However, brain scans
indicate that it may be caused by abnormal size, function, and
form of the brain’s frontal lobe. There may also be an imbalance
of chemicals in the brain. ADHD is believed to be inherited in
most cases, but it is also prevalent in premature babies and
children who have experienced head injuries.
The disorder ADD (attention deficit disorder) was
renamed ADHD to account for the “hyperactivity” that is often
one of the major symptoms found in people with the disorder.
The disability can exist without the presence of hyperactivity, in
which case it is referred to as a subset of ADHD called ADD.
Both terms are often used to describe the same disorder.
Children can exhibit ADHD symptoms at a very young
age, and are often diagnosed before the age of seven. On the
other hand, some adults do not realize they have this disorder
until their own children are diagnosed with it. Some symptoms,
such as hyperactivity, may be less severe as a child ages and
learns coping mechanisms.

Children are not being taught enough about plants at a
time when they could be the answer to global warming, scientists
have warned. This has led to people becoming “disconnected
from the botanical world” of plants when understanding flora has
become crucial to ecology. Even students starting masters’
degrees in biology lack a “basic” ability to identify plants, the
new study claims.
Data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency of the
United Kingdom reveals just one student graduated in plant
science for every 185 who graduated in other life sciences
between 2007 and 2019. The lack of botanical knowledge means
people can’t identify invasive species and that ecological damage
is being done as trees are planted in the wrong places and
wildflower meadows are damaged.
Researchers argue “nature literacy” must become a core
skill for professionals from planners, engineers, architects, and
educators as much as it does to farmers, foresters, and fishermen.
Researchers at the University of Leeds, in England, say plant
ecology — which studies the distribution and abundance of
plants, the effect of the environment on them and how they
interact with the environment — is also not taught well enough.
“We ignore the opportunities presented to us by the botanical
world at our own peril,” said lead study author and doctoral
student Seb Stroud.
This data is also corroborated by the Scottish government,
which said there are not enough skilled people to implement
“nature-based solutions” to rising temperatures. The University
of Leeds team also argued that people’s inability to identify
plants could make the spread of invasive plants worse. The
researchers conclude: “The extinction of botanical education will
only continue to worsen unless we break the cycle of
disconnection from the botanical world.”

The sentence “Children are not being taught enough about
plants” (in the first paragraph) can be correctly rewritten as
Children are not receiving enough training on plants
without change in its meaning.

The teaching of English as a Lingua Franca
An inexorable trend in the use of global English is that
fewer interactions now involve a native speaker. Proponents
of teaching English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) suggest that the
way English is taught and assessed should reflect the needs
and aspirations of the ever-growing number of non-native
speakers who use English to communicate with other nonnatives. Understanding how non-native speakers use English
among themselves has now become a serious research area.
Different priorities in teaching English pronunciation, for
example, have been defined. Teaching certain pronunciation
features, such as the articulation of ‘th’ as an interdental
fricative, appears to be a waste of time whereas other common
pronunciation problems (such as simplifying consonant
clusters) contribute to problems of understanding. Such an
approach is allowing researchers to identify a ‘Lingua Franca
Core’ (LFC) which provides guiding principles in creating
syllabuses and assessment materials.
Unlike traditional ESL (English as Second Language), ELF
focuses also on pragmatic strategies required in intercultural
communication. The target model of English, within the ELF
framework, is not a native speaker but a fluent bilingual
speaker, who retains a national identity in terms of accent,
and who also has the special skills required to negotiate
understanding with another non-native speaker. Research is
also beginning to show how bad some native speakers are at
using English for international communication. It may be that
elements of an ELF syllabus could usefully be taught within a
mother tongue curriculum.

O aprendiz brasileiro, por influência de sua língua materna, tende a erroneamente acrescentar uma vogal a
palavras em Língua Inglesa que terminam em grupo consonantal. Dessa forma, adiciona uma nova sílaba à palavra, possivelmente dificultando a compreensão. Assinale
a alternativa correta contendo uma palavra que ilustraria
tal fenômeno.
