The American singer Beyoncé included in her song “Flawless” a sample from a speech given by the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Adichie entitled “We Should All Be Feminists”. Read the sample from the song and answer the following activity.
We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you will threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist: the person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.

The Boy Who Lived

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.

Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

                                 LARGEST AIRCRAFT IN THE WORLD

                                     

      We have lift-off. The world's largest aircraft has taken to the skies for the first time.The Airlander 10 spent nearly two hours in the air, having taken off from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire. During its flight, it reached 3,000 feet (914 meters) and performed a series of gentle turns all over a safe area.

      The aircraft is massive – as long as a football pitch and as tall as six double decker buses and capable of flying for up to five days. It was first developed for the US government as a long-rangesurveillance aircraft but was scrapped following cutbacks.

      Each one cost 25 million pounds and can carry heavier loads than jumbo jets while also producing less noise and emitting less pollution. The makers, Hybrid Air Vehicles, believe it‟s the future of aircraft, and that one day we'll be using them to get places.

      But we're a while away yet. The Airlander will need to clock up 200 hours‟ flying time before beingdeemed airworthy by aviation bodies. If it passes though, we can hope we'll all get some extra leg room.

The increasing demand for English around the world and related research and developments in the teaching of English as a foreign language and in educational technology make this a particularly stimulating period in the BBC's thirty-five year long history of English teaching. The spoken word, recorded sound, film and video are part of the professional air we breathe and we are additionally fortunate in BBC English by Radio and Television in that, organizationally, we also have the printed word as an integrated element of our immediate, professional environment. Films and television programs have been used for language learning and teaching since the 1930s, and in ELT for some twenty years. Considering the paragraph above, choose the correct alternative:

Although the idea of reaching the language learner through as many of his senses as possible is by no means a new idea, modern technology provides so many means of doing so that at first the mind reels. The diagram shows the full panoply of stimuli which may reach the learner, from open circuit broadcasting through recordings of one kind or another, books and kits, to the range of human contacts he may make. Indeed, the resources made available to a learner in a learning system of this kind may be classed in the first instance as human and material. The most important human resource is the learning effort of the learner himself, in terms of time, intensity, efficiency and appropriateness of that effort. All other components in the system are evaluated by their effect upon these learning parameters. About these components, choose the correct alternative.

There is no question that the position of English in today‟s world is the closest we have ever come to a "global language‟. Of course, it would be erroneous to claim that English is spoken by everyone, or even by a majority of the world's population. People, and the political systems they create, are democratic, imperialist, and so on, and this is partly expressed in the language they use. Describing a language as imperialist serves no purpose, as any language may be used to further imperialist objectives. Language is a tool which may be utilized in both benevolent and malign pursuits.

Does an Email Hacking Software really Exist?

  With my experience of over 10 years in the field of ethical hacking and information security, all I can tell you is that there exists no such ready-made software program (as shown and advertised on many websites) that can break into the service provider’s database and hack email passwords. This is just a myth! This may seem a bit disappointing for many, but this is the fact. However, it is still possible to easily hack email passwords using some of the alternative programs and ways as discussed below:

  Working Ways to Hack an Email Password:

  Even though it is impossible to hack the database and instantly crack the email password, it is still possible to trick the users so that they give away the password by themselves. This can be done using a handful of methods like keylogging, social engineering or phishing. However, the easiest and most effective way is by using keyloggers.

  A keylogger is a small program that records each and every keystroke a user types on the keyboard of a specific computer. So when you install a keylogger on the computer from where the target person is likely to access his/her email, it is possible to capture the password. Though keyloggers are not designed to hack email passwords, they can still be used to accomplish the job. Here is a list of some of the interesting facts about keyloggers:

  EASY TO USE: A keylogger does not require any special skills. Anyone with basic computer knowledge should be able to use it.

  REMAINS UNDETECTED: A keylogger will remain undetected after installation and operates in a total stealth mode. So, you need not worry about being caught or traced back.

  REMOTE INSTALLATION: In addition to installation on a location computer, keyloggers also support remote installation. That means you can also install it even on those computers for which you do not have physical access.
