HOLY GRAIL I'm a dermatologist - here's how you get can get rid of forehead wrinkles without Botox and for under £10

(1º§)EACH passing day brings many moments that cause you to furrow your brow. And the more face scrunching you do, the more dreaded lines are likely to emerge __ your forehead. But before you devote time (and a decent amount of money) to fading those pesky wrinkles, it's good idea to try and figure out what's really causing your lines. If you're under 30, chances are your forehead 'wrinkles' are in fact just dehydrated skin, according to one medic.

(2º§)Dr Ivy Lee, a board-certified dermatologist practicing in southern California, US, said dehydration lines can be easily improved without splashing the cash on Botox. She told Insider that unlike wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movement dehydration lines are finer and have a "crepe paper-like texture when the affected skin is not well hydrated." And while we may associate dehydration with drinking water, the expert said drinking more water does not have any added skin benefits. Instead, she urges young people to use topical skin treatments.

What product should I use?

(3º§)Dr Ivy said you should look for moisturisers that contain the following three ingredients:

Humectants, which attract water into the skin (eg: hyaluronic acid)

Emollients, which repair the skin barrier and soften the skin (ex: squalene and plant-derived oils).

Occlusives, which "trap moisture into the skin by creating a seal," the expert said (ex: hydrated petroleum or mineral oil).

(4º§) She recommended using CeraVe Moisturising Cream - a 177ml tube from Boots costs will set up back just £10.

Other cheap skincare products under £10

(5º§) There's no denying that luxury products contain some premium ingredients and look pretty aesthetic, but given the cost __ living crisis, affordable skincare is just as important, especially when the products work just as well. Some dermatologists have shared their favourite skincare swaps for luxury products that they say work as effectively as expensive versions.

(6º§)Vaseline vs La Mer lip balm

La Mer lip balm is touted __ many celebs as a bit of a handbag necessity. But according to Mia, nothing beats a pot of good-old Vaseline. And while La Mer balm can set you back £58 ($75), Vaseline can be as cheap as a couple of pounds.

(7º§)The INKEY List Vitamin C serum vs SkinCeuticals 

Vitamin C creams and serums can brighten your skin and, according to some studies, can reduce the signs of ageing. But these products can be expensive, because they can be tricky to make, Rebecca explained. SkinCeuticals' C E ferulic vitamin C antioxidant serum is an excellent product, she said - but it will set you back a whopping £165 ($182). Instead, why not give the INKEY List's own vitamin C a whirl, Mia suggested, which only costs £9.99 ($15.99).

Asteroids vs. comets: How do they differ, and do they pose a threat to Earth?

Asteroids are _______________ chunks of rock that measure in size from a few feet to hundreds of miles in diameter. NASA has identified more than a million asteroids, and more than 150 of them have their own moons. In 2022, astronomers published evidence that the asteroid Elektra has as many as _______ chunks of rock orbiting it—making it the first known quadruple asteroid.
 For many years, astronomers considered Ceres to be the largest asteroid at about 590 miles wide. In 2006, however, the International Astronomical Union reclassified Ceres as a dwarf planet—making Vesta the largest asteroid at 329 miles wide. Yet this remains a point of contention among some astronomers, and the U.S. Geological Survey’s Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature defines Ceres as both an asteroid and a dwarf planet.
Comets are balls of ice and rock whose glowing tails can sometimes be seen from Earth as they streak through the night sky. Comets grow those tails whenever their orbits bring them close to the sun, causing the icy objects to heat up and _________ a trail of gas and dust. The sun illuminates the tail, giving it a majestic glow.
Compared to asteroids, comets tend to have more elliptical, or oval-shaped, orbits. They also contain more chemical compounds that vaporize when heated, such as water. And when observed through a telescope, comets appear fuzzier than asteroids.

“A lesson plan is a set of notes that helps us think through what we are going to teach and how we are going to teach. It also guides us during and after the lesson. We can identify the most important components of a lesson plan by thinking carefully about what we want our learners to do and how we want them to do it. So, it helps the teacher before the lesson (writing down the aims and procedures for each stage of the lesson), during the lesson (timing each stage) and after the lesson (using the plan and notes to help plan the next lesson)”.
(THORNBURY, 2005, p. 91-92)
Considering Thornbury’s (a very famous applied linguistics in the early 2000s) quotation, put the numbers 1 – 5 in the correct place in the following lesson plan:  Imagem associada para resolução da questão

“Communicative activities are classroom activities designed to get learners to speak and listen to one another. We normally communicate when one of us has information (facts, opinions, ideas, etc.) that another does not have. This is known as an ‘information gap’. The aim of a communicative activity in class is to get learners to use the language they are learning to interact in realistic and meaningful ways, usually involving exchanges of information”.

Read the quote about error to get familiarized with the topic.
“Mistakes are often divided into errors and slips. Errors happen when learners try to say something that is beyond their current level of language processing. Usually, learners cannot correct errors themselves because they don’t understand what is wrong. Errors play a necessary and important part in language learning. Slips are the result of tiredness, worry or other temporary emotions or circumstances. These kinds of mistakes can be corrected by learners once they realize they have made them.”
(SPRATT; PULLVERNESS; WILLIAMS, 2005, p. 44)
Judge the items below as (T) True or (F) False.
1. There are two main reasons why learners make errors. The first reason is influence from the learner’s first language (L1) on the second language. This is called interference or transfer. Learners may use sound patterns, lexis or grammatical structures from their own language in English. The second reason is because they are unconsciously working out or organizing language, but this process is not yet complete. This kind of error is called a developmental error.
2. Errors in which learners wrongly apply a rule for one item of the language to another item are known as overgeneralization, and as a second language learners’ language ability increases, these kinds of errors also reduce.
3. Errors are part of learner’s interlanguage, which develops and progresses as they learn more. Experts think that interlanguage is an essential and unavoidable stage in language learning. In other words, interlanguage and errors are necessary to language learning.
4. Errors are a natural part of learning. They usually show that learners are learning and that their internal mental processes are working on experimenting with language.
5. Sometimes errors do not disappear, but get fossilized. These fossilized errors may be the result of lack of exposure to the second language and/or of a learner’s lack of motivation to improve their level of accuracy.

Q2188977 Inglês
“In recent years Content-Based Instruction (CBI) has become increasingly popular as a means of developing linguistic ability. It has strong connections to project work, task-based learning and a holistic approach to language instruction and has become particularly popular within the state school secondary (11 - 16 years old) education sector. It is a kind of approach in which lesson focuses on the topic or subject matter. During the lesson students are focused on learning about something that interests them, from a serious science subject to their favorite pop star or even a topical news story or film”. 
Peachey, N. (2021), disponível em: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/content-based-instruction, accessed on 15h December 2022.

According to Peachey, judge the items as (T) True or (F) False concerning CBI ADVANTAGES.
I. It can make learning a language more interesting and motivating. Students can use the language to fulfill a real purpose, which can make them both more independent and confident.
II. Taking information from different sources, re-evaluating and restructuring that information can help students to develop very valuable thinking skills that can then be transferred to other subjects. So students can also develop a much wider knowledge of the world through CBI, which can feed back into improving and supporting their general educational needs.
III. CBI is very popular among EAP (English for Academic Purposes) teachers as it helps students to develop valuable study skills such as note taking, summarizing and extracting key information from texts.
IV. The inclusion of a group work element within the framework given can also help students to develop their collaborative skills, which can have great social value. V. Particularly in monolingual classes, the overuse of the students' native language during parts of the lesson can be a problem. Because the lesson isn't explicitly focused on language practice, students find it much easier and quicker to use their mother tongue.
VI. It can be hard to find information sources and texts that lower levels can understand. Also the sharing of information in the target language may cause great difficulties.
