Consider the following dialogue between two
friends, Mary and John, discussing their plans for the
upcoming holidays.
“Mary is excited about her planned trip to Australia, and John is planning to stay at home to finish his novel.”
Based on their conversation, formulate a sentence that accurately portrays both Mary's and John's future plans using the correct forms of 'going to' and 'will'. Remember to consider the rules of usage for 'going to' and 'will' in expressing future actions and intentions. The correct answer could be:

Based on the excerpt from Virginia Woolf's 'To the
Lighthouse': '“So she looked over her shoulder, at the
town. The lights were rippling and running as if they
were drops of silver water held firm in a wind. And all
the poverty, all the suffering had turned to that, Mrs.
Ramsay thought. To the Lighthouse, she said to herself,
raising her hand as if to let the bird fly free.' In the
context of this passage, what does the term 'lighthouse'
metaphorically represent in terms of the English
vocabulary for objects and parts of the house?

Text 3
The large majority of humankind is more or less fluent in 2 or even more languages. This raises the fundamental question how the
language network in the brain is organized such that the correct target language is selected at a particular occasion. Here we present particular
behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging data showing that bilingual processing leads to language conflict in the bilingual brain even when the bilinguals' task only required target language knowledge. This finding demonstrates that the bilingual brain cannot avoid language conflict, because words from the target and nontarget languages become automatically activated during
reading. Importantly, stimulus-based language conflict was found in brain regions in the LIPC associated with phonological and
semantic processing, whereas response-based language con whereas flict was only found in the pre-supplementary motor area/anterior
cingulate cortex when language conflict leads to response conflicts.
Index terms: event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, interlingual homographs, lexical decision, pre-supplementary
motor area and anterior cingulated, response conflict.

Is there a difference between reading on screen and reading on paper in terms of comprehension?
Research published recently showed the different effects of comprehension of reading on paper versus reading on screen. Paper-based reading produced better outcomes. The authors said:
‘Although there are clear advantages of digital-based assessment and learning, including reduced costs and increased individualization, research indicates that there may be disadvantages as well.’
The researchers raised the question about whether ‘increasing exposure to technology, with its emphasis on speed and multitasking, may encourage a shallower kind of processing that leads to a decrease in deep comprehension in digital environments’. They found that research studies that had used only narrative texts showed that comprehension was not affected, whether the reading was done on paper or on screen. In contrast, in the studies that involved information texts or a mixture of information texts and narratives, paper-based reading was advantageous.
(Disponível em: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/).
Com base no texto, pode-se concluir que:
I. Há uma vantagem para a leitura no papel, a despeito da tipologia textual.
II. Não houve diferenças de compreensão entre meios (digital ou impresso) em textos narrativos.
III. As diferenças observadas se deram quando foram comparadas leituras de textos narrativos ou um misto de textos narrativos e expositivos, ou seja, há uma vantagem declarada na leitura no papel.

Reading a text does not imply that it does not have many unitary meanings potentially accessible to all. It rather allows a variety of interpretation by different readers, governed by factors such as purpose, background knowledge, and the relationship between the reader and the text (Nuttall, 1996; Aebersold & Field, 1997). From this perspective, reading is understood to be a complex cognitive process in which reader and text interact to (re)create meaningful discourse (Araújo, 2005).

Agronomy looks at agriculture from an integrated,
holistic perspective. Agronomists are specialists in crop
and soil science, as well as ecology. Some things they look
at are:
• the properties of the soil;
• how the soil interacts with the growing crop;
• what nutrients (fertilizers) the crop needs;
• when and how to apply these nutrients;
• the ways that crops grow and develop;
• how climate and other environmental factors affect the crop at all stages;
• how best to control weeds, insects, fungi, and other crop pests; and,
• how to grow crops effectively and profitably while conserving and protecting the environment.

City lawmakers in Brazil have enacted what appears to be the
nation’s first legislation written entirely by artificial intelligence
(AI) — even if they didn’t know it at the time.
The experimental ordinance was passed in October in the southern
city of Porto Alegre and city councilman Ramiro Rosário revealed
that it was written by a chatbot, sparking objections and raising
questions about the role of artificial intelligence in public policy.
Rosário told The Associated Press that he asked OpenAI’s chatbot
ChatGPT to craft a proposal to prevent the city from charging
taxpayers to replace water consumption meters if they are stolen.
He then presented it to his 35 peers on the council without making
a single change or even letting them know about its
unprecedented origin. The 36-member council approved it
unanimously and the ordinance went into effect on Nov. 23.
The arrival of ChatGPT on the marketplace just a year ago has
sparked a global debate on the impacts of potentially
revolutionary AI-powered chatbots. While some see it as a
promising tool, it has also caused concerns and anxiety about the
unintended or undesired impacts of a machine handling tasks
currently performed by humans.
Porto Alegre, with a population of 1.3 million, is the second-largest
city in Brazil’s south. The city’s council president, Hamilton
Sossmeier, found out that Rosário had enlisted ChatGPT to write
the proposal when the councilman bragged about the
achievement on social media. Sossmeier initially told local media
he thought it was a “dangerous precedent.”
The AI large language models that power chatbots like ChatGPT
work by repeatedly trying to guess the next word in a sentence and
are prone to making up false information, a phenomenon
sometimes called hallucination.
All chatbots sometimes introduce false information when
summarizing a document, ranging from about 3% of the time for
the most advanced GPT model to a rate of about 27% for one of
Google’s models, according to recently published research by the
tech company Vectara.
In an article published on the website of Harvard Law School’s
Center of Legal Profession earlier this year, Andrew Perlman,
wrote that ChatGPT “is a machine learning system, it may not have
the same level of understanding and judgment as a human lawyer
when it comes to interpreting legal principles and precedent. This
could lead to problems in situations where a more in-depth legal
analysis is required”.
There was no such transparency for Rosário’s proposal in Porto
Alegre. Sossmeier said Rosário did not inform fellow council
members that ChatGPT had written the proposal.
Rosário told the AP his objective was also to spark a debate. He
said he entered a 49-word prompt into ChatGPT and it returned
the full draft proposal within seconds, including justifications.
And the council president, who initially decried the method,
already appears to have been swayed. “I changed my mind,”
Sossmeier said. “I started to read more in depth and saw that,
unfortunately or fortunately, this is going to be a trend.”

Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and Palpa
(1º§) Located in the arid Peruvian coastal plain, some
400 km south of Lima, the geoglyphs of Nasca and the
pampas of Jumana cover about 450 km2 . These lines,
which were scratched on the surface of the ground
between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500, are among
archaeology's greatest enigmas because of their
quantity, nature, size and continuity. The geoglyphs
depict living creatures, stylized plants and imaginary
beings, as well as geometric figures several kilometres
long. They are believed to have had ritual astronomical
functions.
(2º§) Located in the arid Peruvian coastal plain, some
400 km south of Lima, the Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca
and Pampas de Jumana are one of the most
impressive-looking archaeological areas in the world and
an extraordinary example of the traditional and millenary
magical-religious world of the ancient Pre-Hispanic
societies which flourished on the Peruvian south coast
between the 8th century BC and the 8th century AD.
They are located in the desert plains of the basin river of Rio Grande de Nasca, the archaeological site covers an
area of approximately 75,358.47 Ha where for nearly
2,000 uninterrupted years, the region's ancient
inhabitants drew on the arid ground a great variety of
thousands of large scale zoomorphic and
anthropomorphic figures and lines or sweeps with
outstanding geometric precision, transforming the vast
land into a highly symbolic, ritual and social cultural
landscape that remains until today. They represent a
remarkable manifestation of a common religion and
social homogeneity that lasted a considerable period of
time.
(3º§) They are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs
anywhere in the world and are unmatched in its extent,
magnitude, quantity, size, diversity and ancient tradition
to any similar work in the world. The concentration and
juxtaposition of the lines, as well as their cultural
continuity, demonstrate that this was an important and
long-lasting activity, lasting approximately one thousand
years. Intensive study of the geoglyphs and comparison
with other manifestations of contemporary art forms
suggests that they can be divided chronologically from
the Middle and Late Formative (500 BC − 200 AD) to the
Regional Development Period (200 − 500 AD),
highlighting the Paracas phase (400 - 200 BC) and the
Nasca phase (200 BC - 500 AD). There are two
categories of glyphs: the first group is representational,
depicting in schematic form a variety of natural forms
including animals, birds, insects, and other living
creatures and flowers, plants, and trees, deformed or
fantastic figures and objects of everyday life. There are
very few anthropomorphic figures. The second group
comprises the lines, which are generally straight lines
that criss-cross certain parts of the pampas in all
directions. Some are several kilometres in length and
form designs of many different geometrical figures -
triangles, spirals, rectangles, wavy lines, etc. Others
radiate from a central promontory or encircle it. Yet
another group consists of so-called 'tracks', which appear
to have been laid out to accommodate large numbers of
people.
(4º§) Criterion (i): The Nasca Lines and Geoglyphs form
a unique and magnificent artistic achievement of the
Andean culture that is unrivalled in its extension,
dimensions and diversity and long existence anywhere in
the prehistoric world.
(5º§) Criterion (iii): The Nasca and Pampas de Jumana
Lines and Geoglyphs, through its unique form of land
use, are an exceptional testimony of the culture and
magical-religious tradition and beliefs of the societies that
developed in Pre-Columbian South America between the
8th BC and 8th AD centuries.
(6º§) Criterion (iv): The system of lines and geoglyphs,
which has survived intact for more than two millennia,
evidences an unusual way of using the land and the
natural environment that represent a highly symbolic
cultural landscape, using a construction technology that
allowed them to design large-scale figures with
outstanding geometric precision.
(7º§) The Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and Pampas de
Jumana, with their protection area that extends over
75,358.47 Ha, are well defined and include all physical
aspects that convey the Outstanding Universal Value of
the property, including its surrounding landscape with
which they make up an indivisible unit in a harmonious
relationship that has survived virtually unaltered over the
centuries.
(8º§) The Pleistocene alluvial terrace, currently with
occasional water activity (only during the El Niño
Southern Oscillation - ENSO) and the low rainfall rates
(the lowest in the world), determine desert climate
characteristics and extreme aridity that have favoured the
preservation of the Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and
Pampas de Jumana. Likewise, harmful human activity
has caused no severe impact on the property, so the
geoglyphs and cultural landscape have remained intact
for nearly two millennia, from their design in the 8th
century BC to nowadays. The cleaning and preservation
works performed have not affected the property's integrity
and have promoted their conservation.
(9º§) The construction of the South Pan-American
Highway, which directly crosses the property, has caused
damages in some lines and figures sectors. However,
most of the lines and figures are in fair condition.
(10º§) The authenticity of the Lines and Geoglyphs of
Nasca and Pampas de Jumana is indisputable. The
method of their formation, by removing the overlying
weathered gravels to reveal the lighter bedrock, is such
that their authenticity is assured. The creation, design,
morphology, size and variety of the geoglyphs and lines
correspond to the original designs produced during the
historic evolution of the region's and have remained
unchanged. The ideology, symbolism and sacred and
ritual character of the geoglyphs and the landscape are
clearly represented, and their significance remains intact
even today.
(11º§) The concentration and overlapping of lines and
figures provide a clear evidence of long and intense
activity in the territory, reflecting the millenary
magical-religious tradition of this activity by pre-Hispanic
societies and the historic continuity in Nasca's Rio
Grande river basin. The property also shows different
social process stages. Several historic sources and
researches confirm the property's originality and its
original landscape surroundings still preserved in pristine
condition and unaltered.
(12º§) Even though there have been some impacts
caused by natural and human factors, these have been
minimal and the geoglyphs maintain their authenticity and

Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and Palpa
(1º§) Located in the arid Peruvian coastal plain, some
400 km south of Lima, the geoglyphs of Nasca and the
pampas of Jumana cover about 450 km2 . These lines,
which were scratched on the surface of the ground
between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500, are among
archaeology's greatest enigmas because of their
quantity, nature, size and continuity. The geoglyphs
depict living creatures, stylized plants and imaginary
beings, as well as geometric figures several kilometres
long. They are believed to have had ritual astronomical
functions.
(2º§) Located in the arid Peruvian coastal plain, some
400 km south of Lima, the Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca
and Pampas de Jumana are one of the most
impressive-looking archaeological areas in the world and
an extraordinary example of the traditional and millenary
magical-religious world of the ancient Pre-Hispanic
societies which flourished on the Peruvian south coast
between the 8th century BC and the 8th century AD.
They are located in the desert plains of the basin river of Rio Grande de Nasca, the archaeological site covers an
area of approximately 75,358.47 Ha where for nearly
2,000 uninterrupted years, the region's ancient
inhabitants drew on the arid ground a great variety of
thousands of large scale zoomorphic and
anthropomorphic figures and lines or sweeps with
outstanding geometric precision, transforming the vast
land into a highly symbolic, ritual and social cultural
landscape that remains until today. They represent a
remarkable manifestation of a common religion and
social homogeneity that lasted a considerable period of
time.
(3º§) They are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs
anywhere in the world and are unmatched in its extent,
magnitude, quantity, size, diversity and ancient tradition
to any similar work in the world. The concentration and
juxtaposition of the lines, as well as their cultural
continuity, demonstrate that this was an important and
long-lasting activity, lasting approximately one thousand
years. Intensive study of the geoglyphs and comparison
with other manifestations of contemporary art forms
suggests that they can be divided chronologically from
the Middle and Late Formative (500 BC − 200 AD) to the
Regional Development Period (200 − 500 AD),
highlighting the Paracas phase (400 - 200 BC) and the
Nasca phase (200 BC - 500 AD). There are two
categories of glyphs: the first group is representational,
depicting in schematic form a variety of natural forms
including animals, birds, insects, and other living
creatures and flowers, plants, and trees, deformed or
fantastic figures and objects of everyday life. There are
very few anthropomorphic figures. The second group
comprises the lines, which are generally straight lines
that criss-cross certain parts of the pampas in all
directions. Some are several kilometres in length and
form designs of many different geometrical figures -
triangles, spirals, rectangles, wavy lines, etc. Others
radiate from a central promontory or encircle it. Yet
another group consists of so-called 'tracks', which appear
to have been laid out to accommodate large numbers of
people.
(4º§) Criterion (i): The Nasca Lines and Geoglyphs form
a unique and magnificent artistic achievement of the
Andean culture that is unrivalled in its extension,
dimensions and diversity and long existence anywhere in
the prehistoric world.
(5º§) Criterion (iii): The Nasca and Pampas de Jumana
Lines and Geoglyphs, through its unique form of land
use, are an exceptional testimony of the culture and
magical-religious tradition and beliefs of the societies that
developed in Pre-Columbian South America between the
8th BC and 8th AD centuries.
(6º§) Criterion (iv): The system of lines and geoglyphs,
which has survived intact for more than two millennia,
evidences an unusual way of using the land and the
natural environment that represent a highly symbolic
cultural landscape, using a construction technology that
allowed them to design large-scale figures with
outstanding geometric precision.
(7º§) The Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and Pampas de
Jumana, with their protection area that extends over
75,358.47 Ha, are well defined and include all physical
aspects that convey the Outstanding Universal Value of
the property, including its surrounding landscape with
which they make up an indivisible unit in a harmonious
relationship that has survived virtually unaltered over the
centuries.
(8º§) The Pleistocene alluvial terrace, currently with
occasional water activity (only during the El Niño
Southern Oscillation - ENSO) and the low rainfall rates
(the lowest in the world), determine desert climate
characteristics and extreme aridity that have favoured the
preservation of the Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and
Pampas de Jumana. Likewise, harmful human activity
has caused no severe impact on the property, so the
geoglyphs and cultural landscape have remained intact
for nearly two millennia, from their design in the 8th
century BC to nowadays. The cleaning and preservation
works performed have not affected the property's integrity
and have promoted their conservation.
(9º§) The construction of the South Pan-American
Highway, which directly crosses the property, has caused
damages in some lines and figures sectors. However,
most of the lines and figures are in fair condition.
(10º§) The authenticity of the Lines and Geoglyphs of
Nasca and Pampas de Jumana is indisputable. The
method of their formation, by removing the overlying
weathered gravels to reveal the lighter bedrock, is such
that their authenticity is assured. The creation, design,
morphology, size and variety of the geoglyphs and lines
correspond to the original designs produced during the
historic evolution of the region's and have remained
unchanged. The ideology, symbolism and sacred and
ritual character of the geoglyphs and the landscape are
clearly represented, and their significance remains intact
even today.
(11º§) The concentration and overlapping of lines and
figures provide a clear evidence of long and intense
activity in the territory, reflecting the millenary
magical-religious tradition of this activity by pre-Hispanic
societies and the historic continuity in Nasca's Rio
Grande river basin. The property also shows different
social process stages. Several historic sources and
researches confirm the property's originality and its
original landscape surroundings still preserved in pristine
condition and unaltered.
(12º§) Even though there have been some impacts
caused by natural and human factors, these have been
minimal and the geoglyphs maintain their authenticity and
express their high symbolic and historic value even
today.
(13º§) The National Constitution (Art 36) and Law Nº
28296, General Law for National Cultural Heritage are
the main legal protection tools for the Lines and
Geoglyphs of Nasca and Pampas de Jumana,

The Internet has changed people lives, speech styles, jobs, communication, and education. Modern cell phones, digital cameras, and other new devices have affected the way we use language. People communicate with each other through electronic mail, instant messaging, and texts. They might “chat” in different virtual rooms, join interesting online groups, comment on news websites, and write in blogs and “wikis.” These practices construct new forms of “discourse, identity, authorship, and language” (Kern, 2006, p.183). The English language is widely used on the Internet and is considered to be the most common Internet language. English language has many new expressions and abbreviations that appear on the Internet. These Internet expressions have grown in popularity. People use several terms to describe them, such as texting language, textese, Internet language, digital language, and chatting language. Such expressions build up a new variety of English that is very common among Internet users, bloggers, chatters, gamers, and teenagers in general. It is considered an informal written language, much like slang, which is an informal spoken variety of the language. This paper uses the term “texting language” (TL) to mean all these kinds of messages, expressions, and abbreviations.
