Q3206376 Inglês
Understanding coherence is crucial for students to produce coherent texts. Yin Cheung (In: RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016) points out that teachers should guide students in grasping coherence, from the narrow view of sentence connection to the broader idea of linking ideas at the discourse level to create meaning for readers. About two common features of coherence, read the text that follows:

__________________ help establish relationships between different sentences, with examples including pronouns, conjunctions, repetition, superordinates and hyponyms (like animals/cats), as well as synonyms and antonyms. Another tool for enhancing coherence in writing is ________________, which help readers structure, interpret, and assess information. Examples include logical connectives (e.g., therefore, but), sequencers (e.g., firstly, finally), certainty markers (e.g., certainly), among others.

Q3206375 Inglês
According to Lawrence Zhang (In: RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016), three key factors influence the success of reading: (1) the features of the text, (2) the traits of the reader, and (3) the social context. This applies to both first and second language contexts. With this information in mind, mark T for True statements and F for False ones.

( ) Text characteristic is an important variable which affects the reading process. Narrative and expository texts, for example, have very similar organizational structures and linguistic features.
( ) Different readers engage with the same text in varied ways due to their unique individual traits. Given these diverse factors, teachers should consider such differences when creating lesson plans for reading activities.
( ) Readers interpret meaning based on their cultural models and knowledge. While these sociocultural frameworks can enhance understanding if used effectively, they may also hinder comprehension if they distort the process.

Q3206374 Inglês
Lawrence Zhang (In: RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016) examines the process of reading. Considering it, mark T for True statements and F for False ones.

( ) Top-down processing refers to understanding a text or information by starting with smaller components, such as letters, words, and sounds, and building up to a broader understanding of the meaning.
( ) Bottom-up processing involves using prior knowledge, context, and expectations to make sense of the information.
( ) Critical reading involves actively engaging with a text or media in a way that goes beyond surface-level understanding. This process involves looking for implied meanings, questioning the purpose of the author, and assessing the credibility of the arguments.
( ) The concept of reading and literacy now includes digital forms, where understanding the internet and intertextuality is crucial. Digital texts often link to additional meanings on other websites and feature multimedia elements like sounds, images, and videos.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt reach divorce settlement

By Kanjyik Ghosh and Bipasha Dey


   Actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce settlement, concluding an eight-year legal battle that captivated Hollywood.

   Jolie’s lawyer announced on Tuesday that the settlement had been signed and filed, though no details had been disclosed. Pitt’s representatives haven’t commented. The couple, married for only two years, separated in 2016 when Jolie cited irreconcilable differences. She initially sought full physical custody of their six children, leading to a custody battle. Pitt faced and was cleared of child abuse allegations during the dispute, with both sides accusing each other of media manipulation. They eventually agreed to equal custody through a private judge.

   Jolie, an Oscar-winning actress, was previously married to Johnny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. Pitt, also an acclaimed actor, was married to Jennifer Aniston before meeting Jolie on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, sparking rumors of an affair that Jolie denied.

2024 first year to pass 1.5C global warming limit

By Mark Poynting, Erwan Rivault and Becky Dale


   Global warming is nearing a critical point, as 2024 became the first calendar year with an average temperature of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to The European Copernicus Climate Service.

   While it doesn’t mean the Paris Agreement target of keeping the long-term average below 1.5°C has been breached, it highlights how close we are to exceeding it. The rise in global temperatures is primarily caused by fossil fuel emissions, which continue to increase despite international agreements.

   Climate scientist Ella Gilbert emphasized the devastating effects of global warming, pointing to events like the Los Angeles wildfires and the floods in Valencia. These disasters are a clear example of extreme weather becoming more frequent and dangerous.

   However, she stressed it was not too late to act. Every reduction in emissions and degree of warming can significantly decrease the impact of future disasters. Action must come from governments, businesses, and individuals alike.

        Imagine a world where dental crowns, bridges, and even braces can be custom‑made within hours. This vision is now a reality, thanks to 3D printing technology. Dentists in Robstown and around the globe are utilizing 3D printers to create precise and tailored dental prosthetics. By using digital impressions, dentists can design prosthetics that perfectly match the patient’s oral anatomy. This not only reduces production time but also enhances the overall quality and fit of the dental devices.
