Activities for raising awareness of diversity
Our first goal as language teachers is always to encourage our
learners to make use of their developing language. Giving them a
genuine communicative purpose and making it personal to them
are two good ways of achieving this. For students beginning their
journey to greater self-awareness, teachers could devise an
inventory of learning skills for them to rate themselves on. This
could include items such as ‘I keep my notes in order’, ‘I always
make a note of homework and the date it should be done’ or
whatever is appropriate to their level. Students could rate
themselves privately, but then discuss with other students which
ones they find most challenging, exchanging tips about how they
could improve these aspects of learning. From these discussions,
it will probably become clear that some students have already
got good study strategies in place, even if some of them seem a
little unusual. Revisiting the checklist later in the course helps
learners to reflect on how they have improved and what they still
need to work on. […]
Making use of materials that include a diverse range of
characters is another great way of initiating discussion and raising
awareness of the issues. There may be no explicit mention made
in the text of this diversity, thereby sending the implicit message
that this is just how the world is. Students may see characters
that they can relate to more easily, and feel more included
generally. Other materials, such as the ‘Adventures on Inkling
Island’ comic strips, explicitly showcase the daily challenges and
talents of neurodiverse people, demonstrating that being
different can be a strength in some situations.
A powerful way of enabling people to understand how it
might feel to be in the minority on a daily basis, whether in terms
of physical abilities or cognitive function, is to set up experiential
activities which challenge the participants to perform unusual
tasks in conditions that make their usual way of working
impossible. As well as being a fun way of introducing the topic for
further discussion, these activities are usually very memorable
and drive home the message that – in the vast majority of cases –
lack of success in academic tasks is not due to laziness or
stupidity.

Balloons
Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon
flying? The same principle that keeps food frozen in
the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows
hot air balloons to fly. It’s a very basic principle: Hot air
rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air
in the grocery store freezer settles down around the
food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to
understand more about how this principle works in
hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air
balloons themselves.
A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the
burner, and the envelope. The basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This
ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra
weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger’s heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air
inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric
balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the
envelope is heated, the balloon rises.
The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of
the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope.
When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is
allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than
air. This makes the balloon descend.
Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which
way the wind is blowing. This means that she has a
general idea........................... which way the balloon will
go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the
direction that the balloon flies while.......................................... flight.
This is because the air above the ground is sectioned .........................................layers in which the direction of the wind
may be different. So even though the pilot can’t steer
the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer ......................................air. Some days the difference
between the direction of the wind between layers is
negligible. But other days the difference is so strong
that it can actually push the balloon in a completely
different direction!

In case you are wondering how popular comics are, the best-selling comic title in the U.S. sells about 5 million copies a year. All of Mexico’s comic titles together sell over 7,5 million copies a week. But Japan is far the leading publisher of comics the world.
Manga account_______. nearly fifty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies week!
Ever since comics first appeared, there have been people who have criticized them. In the 1940s and 50s, many people believed that comics were immoral and that they caused bad behavior among young people. Even today, many question whether young people should read them at all. They argue that reading comics encourages bad reading habits.
But some educators see comics as a way to get teenagers to choose reading instead of television and video games. And because of the art, a number of educators have argued that comics are a great way to get children to think creatively. More recent research has suggested that the combination of visuals and text in comics may be one reason young people handle computers and related software so easily.
In Japan, the Education Ministry calls comics ‘a part of Japan’s national culture, recognized and highly regarded abroad’. Comics are increasingly being used for educational purposes, and many publishers there see them as a useful way of teaching history and other subjects.

Giving Blood = Giving Life
Giving blood is an amazing thing a person can do. Why? Because people who have anaemia, cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell, and other illnesses need blood transfusion. Some people even need regular blood transfusion to live.
Think about it: giving blood as part ............ everyone’s life; something they done .............. a regular basis, like eating ........... a favourite restaurant. What kind of difference does that make? Well, a donation might make the difference between life and death for nearly five million people who receive blood transfusions every year.
Giving blood is simple and convenient. It only takes about an hour and you can make the donation at a donor center. Afterwards, you will feel good about yourself.
Most people don’t think they’ll never need a blood transfusion, but many do. Blood is something money can’t buy. One may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, this simple action may help to save lives.
The blood donation process is much quicker and easier than you think. Giving blood will not decrease your strength and it’s certainly the right thing to do.

Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate
change, we usually think ________________how it is going
to affect humans. However, we need to think about
animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had
no natural enemy apart _______________________man, but is now
under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.

Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming
which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and
features ordinary people rather than professional
actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or
“heightened” documentary. Although the genre has
existed in some form or another since the early years
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates
from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television
programming formats, _____________game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning
programmes produced in Japan _____________ the 1980s and
1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), _____________surveillance-focused productions such __________ Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in
certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other
post-production techniques.
Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability
to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales.
Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also
reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The
Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world
in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed
with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to
describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It
really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.
