Text 1- English as a global language
(Adapted from Teaching English Today: context
and objectives, Holden & Nobre, 2018, p.03)

All languages reflect the culture of the countries and regions where they have developed and are used. However, some languages are also used as a means of communication between a wide range of non-native speakers and contexts. In this way, the communication develops new priorities to reflect those contexts.
Today, English is probably the prime example of a global language. It is used to communicate in areas such as the workplace, science and technology, the arts and in the world of business. This is why so many parents are keen of their children to start learning it at an ever-earlier age. Students, too, realize that English in more than just a school subject: it is important for their own future success. This realization can be used to your advantage as a teacher:

Your students should be aware that English is widely used among non-native speakers in a variety of contexts in their own environments. It is no longer just linked with going to the US or Britain.
They are more likely to be motivated if they feel they are being given appropriate materials and practice for their own needs, which is easier to do nowadays, since English is present almost everywhere.
In fact, you are part of this world where English is used, however imperfectly, in real life, as well as being part of that other, classroom world. This gives your role even more importance.

The intercultural context

There are, then, clear practical and economic reasons why it is important for as many of your students as possible to feel positive about learning English, and ultimately, to feel confident about using it. However, there is also an equally important reason, which applies to all languages: their social function.
Learning and using another language can put people into contact, directly or indirectly, with others from different societies and cultures. It exposes them to different ways of thinking, different ways of communicating, different values. This, in turn, encourages them to think about their own culture, values and way of life. They realize there is not just one way of doing something, but many different ones.
In other words, as well as equipping learners with practical skills, learning a foreign language extends their horizons, which is one of the important aims of education in most countries.

In reading process, the strategy of finding the ‘headword(s)’ (noun in Morphology; and core argument in Syntax - as subject or object main word), and the ‘modifier(s)’ (words that modify the headword) is (are) important because it (they) can define the pluralization or not of a verb, and they can also provide the complement of a verb. The combination of H (headword) and M (modifier) is called nominal group.

From the underlined fragments, analyze the headword of each nominal group and mark the correct alternative. “the communication /develops /new priorities /to reflect /those contexts”.

Answer the question according to the text bellow

THE CREATIVE BRAIN IS WIRED DIFFERENTLY

Scientists studying brain scans of people who were asked to come up with inventive uses for everyday objects found a specific pattern of connectivity that correlated with the most creative responses. Researchers were then able to use that pattern to predict how creative other people's responses would be based on their connections in this network. The study is described in a January 15 (2018) paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"What this shows is that the creative brain is wired differently," said Roger Beaty, a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Psychology and the first author of the study. "People who are more creative can simultaneously engage brain networks that don't typically work together. We also used predictive modeling to show we could predict, with some degree of accuracy, how creative people's ideas were (based on brain scans) that had already been published." Beaty and colleagues reanalyzed brain data from previous studies and found that, by simply measuring the strength of connections in these peoples' brain networks, they could estimate how original their ideas would be.

While the data showed that regions across the brain were involved in creative thought, Beaty said the evidence pointed to three subnetworks -- the default mode network, the salience network and the executive control network -- that appear to play key roles in creative thought.

The default mode network, he said, is involved in memory and mental simulation, so the theory is that it plays an important role in processes like mindwandering, imagination, and spontaneous thinking.

"In terms of creativity, we think that's important for brainstorming," Beaty said. "But you're not always going to stumble onto the most creative idea that way, because you might be drawn to something unoriginal from memory, so that's when these other networks come online."

The salience network, he said, detects important information, both in the environment and internally. When it comes to creativity, researchers believe it may be responsible for sorting through the ideas that emerge from the default mode network.

Lastly, Beaty said, the executive control network works to help people keep their focus on useful ideas while discarding those that aren't working.

"It's the synchrony between these systems that seems to be important for creativity," Beaty said. "People who think more flexibly and come up with more creative ideas are better able to engage these networks that don't typically work together and bring these systems online."

To identify the brain network involved in creativity, Beaty and colleagues recruited a total of 163 volunteers, and used functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) technology to scan their brains as they tried to conceive of creative ideas for everyday objects, like a brick or a knife or a rope.

The team then trained "raters" to review the responses from participants and evaluate how creative their ideas were.

"Creativity is typically defined as the ability to come up with new and useful ideas," Beaty said. "We correlated the connectivity strength in this network while they were thinking creatively with the quality of their responses."

Based on the results of that test, Beaty and colleagues developed a predictive model and tested against brain scan data collected for earlier studies on creativity.

"We used already-published data. we found that based on how strong the connections are in this network, we could guess pretty accurately how creative you're going to be on a task," Beaty said.

Ultimately, Beaty said he hopes the study dispels some myths about creativity and where it comes from.

"One thing I hope this study does is dispel the myth of left versus right brain in creative thinking," he said. "This is a whole-brain endeavor."

It's also not clear that this can't be modified with some kind of training. "It's not something where you have it or you don't," he added. "Creativity is complex, and we're only scratching the surface here, so there's much more work that's needed."

City hall braces for busy marriage day


    If love is all you need, you’ll want for nothing in New York Thursday.

    The folks who hand out marriage licenses are bracing for what could be their busiest day ever as Valentine’s Day romantics head to the aisle.

    “When we are really busy, we have a second chapel we can open,” said First Deputy City Clerk Michael McSweeney. “We are preparing to do that. We’re expecting a lot of couples.”

    City Hall’s unofficial record of 318 weddings on that date was set on Valentine’s Day 2002 - also on a Thursday.

    And love is definitely in the air Thursday.

    Melanie and Joseph Castine married on Valentine’s Day 10 years ago. Today, they’re renewing their vows in the same venue - the Empire State Building.

    The couple, who recently moved from Roosevelt Island to Philadelphia, won a letter-writing competition with Brides.com to become one of 14 pairs tying the knot in the iconic building.

    “Valentine’s Day is just the perfect day to do it,” said Melanie Castine, who, with her hubby, has been at the skyscraper every year to mark their anniversary.

    “Everywhere you go in Manhattan, you can see the Empire State Building. It’s a constant reminder of our marriage. We call it our chapel in the sky.”

    Meanwhile, love is being put on ice at one of the city’s most romantic spots.

    Rockefeller Center is preparing to clear its rink at 8 p.m for a skater planning to get down on one knee for a surprise engagement.

     “It’s a big surprise for her, but we’re sure it’s going to be extremely romantic,” a rink spokeswoman said.
