Text 29A4-I
Plans for international trips in 2020 were brought to an abrupt halt by the Covid-19 pandemic. Around the world, once-crowded sights lay dormant.
The statistics speak for themselves. On 13 October, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said that international traffic “has all but disappeared”, with airlines carrying only about 10% of normal levels.
By IATA’s estimate, Covid-caused disruptions put more than 41 million jobs at risk across the travel and tourism sector.
In the absence of travellers, tourism boards, hotels and destinations have turned to virtual reality (VR) — a technology still in its relative infancy — to keep would-be visitors interested and prepare for the long road to recovery.
What began for many as a temporary stop-gap measure may now be a long-term tool. IATA predicts that travel will not resume to pre-pandemic levels until 2024.
Faced with a new reality of diminished tourism, many believe that Covid-19 might be the watershed moment for VR that changes perceptions from a clever and occasional marketing trick to a permanent fixture of tourism marketing.

Drones could help create a quantum internet
The quantum internet may be coming to you via drone.
Scientists have now used drones to transmit particles of light, or photons, that share the
quantum linkage called entanglement. The photons were sent to two locations a kilometer apart,
researchers report in a study to appear.
Entangled quantum particles can retain their interconnected properties even when
separated by long distances. Such counterintuitive behavior can be harnessed to allow new types
of communication.
Quantum networks made with fiber-optic cables are already beginning to be used. And a
quantum satellite can transmit photons across China. Drones could serve as another technology
for such networks, with the advantages of being easily movable as well as relatively quick and
cheap to deploy.
In the future, fleets of drones could work together to send entangled particles to recipients
in a variety of locations.

The World’s Largest Tropical Wetland
Has Become an Inferno
This year, roughly a quarter of the vast Pantanal wetland
in Brazil, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, has burned
in wildfires worsened by climate change. What happens to a rich
and unique biome when so much is destroyed?
The unprecedented fires in the wetland have attracted less
attention than blazes in Australia, the Western United States and
the Amazon, its celebrity sibling to the north. But while the
Pantanal is not a global household name, tourists in the know
flock there because it is home to exceptionally high
concentrations of breathtaking wildlife: Jaguars, tapirs,
endangered giant otters and bright blue hyacinth macaws. Like a
vast tub, the wetland swells with water during the rainy season
and empties out during the dry months. Fittingly, this rhythm has
a name that evokes a beating heart: the flood pulse.
The wetland, which is larger than Greece and stretches
over parts of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, also offers unseen
gifts to a vast swath of South America by regulating the water
cycle upon which life depends. Its countless swamps, lagoons
and tributaries purify water and help prevent floods and droughts.
They also store untold amounts of carbon, helping to stabilize the
climate.
For centuries, ranchers have used fire to clear fields and
new land. But this year, drought worsened by climate change
turned the wetlands into a tinderbox and the fires raged out of
control.

Text 3A3-II
Why Joe Biden Saw Mixed Success With Latinos
Democrats' long-term hopes for electoral success have
long cited the growing Latino population in the country. But
former Vice President Joe Biden's performance in heavily Latino
areas of key states has concerned members of his party — and
may have cost him Electoral College votes, according to groups
and activists working to mobilize Latino voters.
Nationally, Biden appears to have gotten support from
roughly twice as many Latino voters as President Trump, but that
support looked very different depending on where you looked in
three key states with large Latino populations.
Democrats were pleased with their performance in
Arizona, where The Associated Press awarded Biden the state's
11 electoral votes early Wednesday morning, while anxiety ran
high about the results in Florida, where President Trump's
strength with conservative Cuban American voters helped secure
him that state's 29 electoral votes, according to AP. And while
Texas was a long shot for Biden, Democrats had seen
opportunity in the explosive growth in the state's Latino
population.
During a post-election virtual press conference on
Wednesday, leaders from groups aimed at mobilizing Latino
voters expressed frustration that the votes of Latinos were not
more aggressively pursued, even as they cheered record levels of
turnout among Latinos in some key states.

Text 3A2-II
It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city.
Eventually, Maria found her way to class, a special setting
for Spanish-speaking newcomers. There she would practice
English words for colors and numbers, learn how to introduce
herself and how to say thank you. By eighth grade she was
moved into mainstream classes, where she struggled. It didn’t
help that her math teacher started each class by saying, “Okay,
my little dummies.” He spoke really fast. Maria never raised her
hand in his class.
One day Maria stopped by the administrative office,
looking for someone to help her with multiplication. She took her
spot in line behind a middle-aged woman who chatted with her in
Spanish as they waited. Maria said school was really hard for
her. The woman told her not to worry. “Latinas usually don’t
finish high school,” she said. “They go to work or raise kids.”
The woman was right, statistically speaking, and Maria’s
middle-school experience all but ensured she’d join the 52
percent of foreign-born Latinos who drop out of high school. She
graduated from eighth grade without learning to speak English.
She had a hard time writing in Spanish and didn’t know how to
multiply.
Everything you’ve heard about failing schools is wrong.

“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.

“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.
As a math professor, Boaler has seen this firsthand. Many
young adults enter her class anxious about math, and their fear
about learning impacts their ability to learn.
“The myth that our brains are fixed and that we simply
don’t have the aptitude for certain topics is not only scientifically
inaccurate; it is omnipresent and negatively impacts not only
education, but many other events in our everyday lives,” she
writes. Even though the science of neuroplasticity — how our
brains change in response to learning — suggests learning can
take place at any age, this news has not made it into classrooms,
she argues.
Some of our misguided visions of talent have led to racist
and sexist attitudes, she writes. For example, many girls get the
message early on that math is for boys and that boys are better at
it, interfering with their ability to succeed and leading to gender
disparities in fields of study related to math. Similarly, people of
color may also have to overcome stereotypes about fixed
intelligence in order to thrive.

For Stephen Krashen, the disruption to traditional education during Covid-19 may reveal some unexpected benefits. How teachers and parents can harness the opportunity to teach language — including heritage languages — during remote learning?
Text 3A1-III
For Stephen Krashen, the disruption to traditional education during Covid-19 may reveal some unexpected benefits. How teachers and parents can harness the opportunity to teach language — including heritage languages — during remote learning?
Many parents and teachers are understandably anxious
about remote learning, as instruction has become less traditional.
However, Krashen notes, “We do not acquire language by
study, or by speaking or writing. We acquire in only one way: by
understanding what we hear or read. What we call
‘comprehensible input.’ The ability to produce language is the
result of getting the right kind of input.”
With less focus on traditional language education, i.e.,
practicing memorized rules and grammar through speaking until
they become automatic, students are free to acquire language in a
more effective way.
According to Stephen Krashen’s theory of language
acquisition, comprehensible input is language that can be
understood by listeners even if they don’t fully comprehend all of
the vocabulary and grammar in use. Input is essential to
acquisition, as it informs learners’ subconscious understanding of
a language.
While online education may isolate students at home, it
shouldn’t negatively impact language learning. “We don’t need
massive amounts of interaction to acquire language. We need
massive amounts of input,” says Krashen.

There is ample evidence that reading not only strengthens second language vocabulary, but also expands it as readers meet words, or the same word, in different contexts. After all, that is the way lexical vocabulary is acquired in real life, through hearing it in our first languages.
Text 3A1-II
There is ample evidence that reading not only strengthens second language vocabulary, but also expands it as readers meet words, or the same word, in different contexts. After all, that is the way lexical vocabulary is acquired in real life, through hearing it in our first languages.
Apart from learning vocabulary, learners also learn new
structures, which can form a strong scaffolding both for learning
other new structures and introducing grammatical items to a
class.
In listening to each other read, discuss points in groups,
debate, or answer and their rationale, second language learners
will sharpen both listening and speaking skills.
There is no magic bullet, no single explanation for what
teachers can do to ensure that their students learn to read a
second or foreign language. Practice and plenty of it may be the
only way out.
