Four Key Language Skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and
Writing
Discover how these skills interconnect and contribute
to language proficiency, communication, and personal
development
Language is a multifaceted tool that serves as a means of
communication, expression, and understanding. Within the realm
of language acquisition, four primary skills play a central role:
speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Each of these skills
contributes uniquely to one's language proficiency and plays a
vital role in different aspects of life. In this post, we will delve into
the relative importance of these four key language skills and how
they complement each other.
Speaking is often considered the most critical language skill, as
it directly enables human communication. It facilitates interaction
with others, both socially and professionally, allowing individuals to
express their thoughts, ideas, and emotions effectively. The ability
to speak fluently is especially crucial in situations like business
negotiations, job interviews, and everyday conversations. Effective
speaking enhances one's confidence, builds relationships, and
fosters cultural understanding.
Listening is the counterpart to speaking, and it is equally
essential in effective communication. Without strong listening
skills, misunderstandings can arise, leading to breakdowns in
communication. Active listening involves not only hearing words
but also comprehending their meaning, tone, and context.
Proficient listening enhances language learners' ability to engage
in meaningful conversations, understand cultural nuances, and
respond appropriately. In educational settings, strong listening
skills are crucial for learning and comprehension.
Reading expands one's knowledge and understanding of language.
It allows individuals to access a vast wealth of information,
literature, and culture. Through reading, individuals can explore
diverse perspectives, historical accounts, and contemporary
issues. Reading also plays a significant role in academic and
professional contexts, where individuals are required to process,
analyze, and synthesize written information. Strong reading skills
lead to improved vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking.
Writing is the skill that allows individuals to express their thoughts
and ideas in a structured and organized manner. It serves as
a means of documentation, creativity, and self-expression.
In academic and professional settings, effective writing is
essential for creating reports, essays, emails, and other forms
of communication. It also plays a crucial role in preserving
knowledge, culture, and history through the written word. Strong
writing skills enable individuals to convey their thoughts with clarity
and precision.
While each of these four language skills holds significance on its
own, their importance is interconnected. They complement and
reinforce each other, creating a holistic language proficiency.
For instance, strong listening skills aid in developing accurate
pronunciation when speaking. Reading enhances vocabulary,
which in turn improves writing. Writing practice can lead to a
deeper understanding of grammatical structures, benefiting both
speaking and listening.
Moreover, in the modern world, technology has blurred the lines
between these skills. Communication platforms, such as social
media and instant messaging, require a combination of speaking,
listening, reading, and writing. Multimedia content, including
videos and podcasts, encourages learners to engage in both
listening and speaking activities.
In conclusion, the four key language skills - speaking, listening,
reading, and writing - each hold a unique and essential place in
language acquisition and proficiency. Their relative importance
depends on the context, goals, and individual preferences.
However, it is the interplay of these skills that results in a well-rounded and effective communicator. Language learners benefit
most when they strive for balance and competence in all four
skills, enabling them to navigate the complexities of language in
diverse personal, educational, and professional settings.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans
Experts say the rise of artificial intelligence will make most
people better off over the next decade, but many have concerns
about how advances in AI will affect what it means to be human,
to be productive and to exercise free will
By Janna Anderson and Lee Rainie
Digital life is augmenting human capacities and disrupting eons-old
human activities. Code-driven systems have spread to more than
half of the world’s inhabitants in ambient information and
connectivity, offering previously unimagined opportunities and
unprecedented threats. As emerging algorithm-driven artificial
intelligence (AI) continues to spread, will people be better off than
they are today?
The experts predicted networked artificial intelligence will amplify
human effectiveness but also threaten human autonomy, agency
and capabilities. They spoke of the wide-ranging possibilities; that
computers might match or even exceed human intelligence and
capabilities on tasks such as complex decision-making, reasoning
and learning, sophisticated analytics and pattern recognition,
visual acuity, speech recognition and language translation. They
said “smart” systems in communities, in vehicles, in buildings and
utilities, on farms and in business processes will save time, money
and lives and offer opportunities for individuals to enjoy a morecustomized future.
Many focused their optimistic remarks on health care and the
many possible applications of AI in diagnosing and treating
patients or helping senior citizens live fuller and healthier lives.
They were also enthusiastic about AI’s role in contributing to broad
public-health programs built around massive amounts of data that
may be captured in the coming years about everything from
personal genomes to nutrition. Additionally, a number of these
experts predicted that AI would abet long-anticipated changes in
formal and informal education systems.
Yet, most experts, regardless of whether they are optimistic or not,
expressed concerns about the long-term impact of these new tools
on the essential elements of being human. All respondents in this
non-scientific canvassing were asked to elaborate on why they felt
AI would leave people better off or not. Many shared deep
worries, and many also suggested pathways toward solutions. The
main themes they sounded about threats and remedies are
outlined in future reports.

Read the text carefully.
Today our supposedly revolutionary advancements in artificial intelligence are indeed cause for both concern and optimism. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s Sydney are marvels of machine learning. Roughly speaking, they take huge amounts of data, search for patterns in it and become increasingly proficient at generating statistically probable outputs – such as seemingly humanlike language and thought. These programs have been hailed as the first glimmers on the horizon of artificial general intelligence – that long-prophesied moment when mechanical minds surpass human brains not only quantitatively in terms of processing speed and memory size but also qualitatively in terms of intellectual insight, artistic creativity besides every other distinctively human faculty. Whereas that day may come, one should be allowed its dawn is not yet breaking, contrary to what can be read in hyperbolic headlines and reckoned by injudicious investments. The human mind is a surprisingly efficient system that operates with small amounts of information. Of course, any human-style explanation is not necessarily correct; we are fallible. Hence this is part of what it means to think: to be right, it must be possible to be wrong.

Instruction: Answer questions 41 to 53 based on the following text.
Why Learning Is A New Procrastination
- The tremendous world of online courses, blogs, social media, free eBooks, podcasts, and
- webinars provides the best ever opportunity to broaden your knowledge in almost every sphere
- you can imagine. Thanks to technological advancement and the instant access to the internet,
- everyone can now study from home. It seems like it would be foolishly not to seize this
- opportunity and improve your skills and knowledge. Moreover, you are kind of forced to do so
- since the contemporary world has raised the bar higher than ever before. It literally invited you
- to gather the pace and ___________ even more.
- It is not surprising that, ultimately, you try to be everywhere and do everything. No doubt,
- you do your best to constantly gather tiny bits of information from as many channels as
- possible, because you are afraid that you will fall behind if you stop. After all, you enter a
- learning crunch mode. You do not afford to miss anything and try to read every book you could
- get your hands on. You listen to every single podcast your smartphone could download and take
- every online course your paycheck would allow to take.
- All in all, you learn. As much as possible. As intense as you manage to. You learn how to
- write and publish a new book. You learn how to launch a successful blog. You learn how to hit
- your goal on Kickstarter. You learn how to build the next “unicorn”. You learn how to land a job
- of your dream. You learn how to successfully sell thousands of items on Amazon. You learn how
- to make millions of dollars in passive income.
- However, the problem is that you do everything except taking action. All those activities do
- not take you closer to the things you want to accomplish. Better knowledge does not make you
- more influential, powerful, and successful unless you apply it. The key secret to success is not
- ________ expertise, but the ability to use it.
- Knowledge is worthless unless it is applied. Needless to say that studying is crucial.
- However, the thing is that it should take the entirely new form now. You should stop learning
- from someone else’s experiences, knowledge, failures, and wins and start learning from your
- own mistakes, adventures, ___________, and bold actions.
- Learning has become a major trend of the 21st century. Sadly, it has also become a new
- form of procrastination. You consciously postpone the first step justifying this by your eagerness
- to broaden the knowledge and learn new things. You put the start date off justifying this by
- your desire to pick up new skills that would help you succeed faster. You procrastinate over
- chasing your own aspirations because doing the things on your own and creating your own story
- of success is far more complicated than reading about someone else’s one. Meanwhile, no one
- would really reproach you for wasting your time. Also, you feel comfortable about staying within
- this zone of ease and convenience forever.
- However, the point is that you already have and know everything you need to start off. In
- fact, there is nothing more you need to learn in order to take the first step. Embrace the truth.
- No matter how good your theoretical knowledge is, you will face a lot of obstacles while
- applying it. You will have to deal with issues that have never been described or covered in any
- book. You will have to look for the solutions and make the spontaneous decisions that no one
- probably has ever thought of. You will have to design your own road to success.
- Transform your learning process from the continuous the procrastination into an
- unstoppable process of absorbing invaluable expertise based on your own experience. It might
- seem counterintuitive, but the old-fashioned way of learning is what holds you back. This is
- what makes your triumphs suck.
- Constant learning, evaluating of ideas, thinking, and visualizing your journey towards your
- major aspirations will not take you far from the place you are now. Actions will. You can sit and
- research, and research, and research, while someone else is already reaping huge rewards for
- his or her fruitful and hard work. Stop learning now. Become bold enough to take the first step
- and start learning from your own experience.

TEXTO PARA A QUESTÃO
We' ve been given no shortage of digital tools that should, in theory, help us work better, with more focus and efficiency,
and connect us more easily with our colleagues. Instead,
email, instant messaging, remote-meeting apps, work-flow
and project-management software can feel like buckets with
holes in the bottom, maddeningly inadequate to the task of keeping us from drowning in work. It' s clear that something in the great digital-workplace experiment has gone wrong. Or
maybe it' s more accurate to say that it' s still too early to expect that we would have figured out how to make things go right. "We' re working now with new technologies that only emerged in the "90s," says Cal Newport, a Georgetown computer-science professor. "The idea that we immediately figured out the best way to use them is ahistorical. Of course we haven' t gotten it right yet."

Text 3: Extreme heat intensifies across south-west US
A heat dome over the US south-west has translated (1) into extreme heat warnings from coast to coast,
which continue to affect more than 110 million people.
Temperature records could be broken in as many as 38 cities.
In Las Vegas, the intense heatwave is threatening on Sunday to break or tie the city's record high of 117F
(47.2C).
It comes as soaring temperatures are also hitting southern Europe and Canada is battling the worst season of
wildfires in its history.
Scientists have long warned (2) that climate change linked to human activities will lead to an increase in the
severity and frequency of extreme weather events.
Elsewhere in the south-western US, hundreds of firefighters have been battling brush fires in blistering heat
and low humidity on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
