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.
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.

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.
Choose the CORRECT sequence.
