Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the
accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there
are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire
service, including new hazards and medical emergencies,
emerging training challenges, population migration, and
technology developments.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However,
the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how
climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and
emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can
be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe
to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less
rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.

Most teachers recognise the need for the students’
awareness about the potential relevance and utility of the
language and skills they are teaching. And researchers have
confirmed the importance of this need.
In ESP (English for specific purposes) materials, for
example, it is relatively easy to convince the learners that
the teaching points are relevant and useful by relating them
to known learner interests and to ‘real-life’ tasks, which the
learners need or might need to perform in the target language.
In general English materials this is obviously more difficult; but
it can be achieved by researching what the target learners
are interested in and what they really want to learn the
language for. An interesting example of such research was a
questionnaire in Namibia which revealed that two of the most
important reasons for secondary school students to wish to
learn English were so they would be able to write love letters
in English and so that they would be able to write letters of
complaint for villagers to the village headman and from the
village headman to local authorities.
Perception of relevance and utility can also be achieved
by relating teaching points to challenging classroom tasks
and by presenting them in ways which could facilitate the
achievement of the task outcomes desired by the learners.
The ‘new’ learning points are not relevant and useful because
they will help the learners to achieve longterm academic or
career objectives, but because they could help the learners to
achieve short-term task objectives now. Of course, this only
works if the tasks are begun first and the teaching is then
provided in response to discovered needs. This is much more
difficult for the materials writer than the conventional approach
of teaching a predetermined point first and then getting the
learners to practise and then produce it.

From space, astronaut sounds the alarm about climate

The Associated Press
A French astronaut has used a video call from space to
sound the alarm about worsening repercussions from climate
change that he can see ______ the International Space

tarnished — pearl in the vastness of space.
Through the portholes ______ the International Space
Station, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has an arresting
view of global warming’s repercussions. He used a video call
from space to sound the alarm Thursday, as negotiators,
government officials and activists continued meeting at a
U.N. climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
“We see the pollution of rivers, atmospheric pollution,
things like that.”
“We saw entire regions burning from the space station,
______ Canada, in California,” he said. “We saw all of
California covered ______ a cloud of smoke and flames with

Read the text below and answer the question.
Rice is a staple food for a large part of the world’s population, providing more than one fifth of the calories
consumed worldwide, making it the second-most-consumed cereal grain. The rice plant grows about 2 to 5
feet high and is a flowering plant.
Rice is composed of the grain and husk. The grain is mainly used as food, but the vitamins, including Bcomplex, are found in the husk. Most people prefer to eat polished rice without the husk, but this can create
a vitamin deficiency because polished rice doesn’t have many vitamins.
Much of the rice that we eat comes from southeastern Asia and grows in all countries that have a warm and
moist climate, including India, China, and Japan. The traditional method for cultivating rice is to flood the
fields after planting the seedlings. This simple method requires planning and maintenance of the water
supply, but reduces the growth of weeds and deters vermin. Flooding is not mandatory, but all other methods
of irrigation require more effort in weed and pest control and different methods of fertilization.
COOK, Ann, Grammar: American Accent Training – 2009, Page 208.
As a complex carb, it ___ the primary source of energy ____ over half of the world's people.
Depending ___ the strain of rice, it can contain decent amounts ___ fibre, protein, vitamin B, iron and
manganese. This means it can play a vital role against malnutrition:

Instruction: For question, read the passage below.
How to become a firefighter
Those who fight fires are trained to do their job anywhere – from forests to rural areas to urban high-rises. Firefighters
work first and foremost to protect lives, and then they turn their attention to protecting property. Some firefighters
choose to work their way up the ladder, so to speak, starting with volunteer work at their local firehouse, coupled with
their high school diploma. Those who want to advance up the ranks faster can turn to a fire science degree that will
prepare them for responsibilities at the state or federal level. Understanding different types of firefighting careers and
what each entails is the first step to choosing the right path.
What Does a Firefighter Do?
Firefighters show up at the scene of a fire or emergency and rely on advanced tools and equipment to handle the situation.
That's a very broad overview; now let's get down to the details.
Firefighter Careers Basics
Firefighters receive expert training that prepares them to handle a variety of emergency situations. Though fighting fires
are what they are best known for (as the name implies), firefighters also handle medical emergencies, rescuing and
treating the injured, educating the public and more. Their work often requires them to be on call at all hours; some
respond to calls from their private homes, while others stay in the firehouse during their shifts in order to respond to
calls much faster, especially in urban areas.

Based on the text, answer question.
What the Ever Given can tell us about mental health at sea
Captain Lee Clarke from Tapiit Live on one of the
overlooked aspects stemming from last month's Suez
blockage.
Thirty days ago,
a ship named Ever Given was
sailing in relative anonymity. Twenty-nine days
ago, that same ship found itself splashed across the
front cover of every national newspaper from
London to Lima.
In
a matter of hours, the ship and its 25 strong
crew went from highly skilled seafarers to media
targets. In the maelstrom of social media memes,
newspaper cover stories and “special reports”, one
major thing was forgotten, more likely ignored: the
crew”'s mental well-being.
In
a world of social media, everyone is an
expert, and never has that been felt more in the
maritime industry than now.
A frenzy of blame
erupted almost instantly with little or no merit or
fact-checking, as evidenced by the naming of
a
female officer as the Ever Given's Captain,
regardless of the fact she was over 200 miles away
on another vessel.
Being
a seafareris
a stressful job, irrespective
of
a global incident, especially when you factor in
being away from family for extended periods and
working contract to contract with little job security.
You also have to cope with fatigue, extreme weather conditions and intense time pressure placed
upon the crew and its Master by multiple state and
global agencies as well as the ship”s own charter.
So, add to that taking the “blame” for halting $9.6
billion of trade
a day, understandably, stress levels
rise astronomically.
As an industry, mental health appears still to be
very much
a taboo topic. Seafarers are more likely
to be signed off and dismissed for being deemed
“unfit to serve” than they are to receive any form of
support. Whilst onboard, the mood will feel
somewhat supportive with the crew banding
together to keep the ship operating, internally, each
and every seafarer, from deckhand to Master will be
worrying about their reputation and thus, their
employability.
I- __________ my experience as
a Captain, your
crew is your first line II- ____________ defence III- ____________any major incident. As soon as
something goes awry, they burst IV- _____________ action,
they're trained to do so, it's instinctive. I have no
doubt, everyone aboard the Ever Given did
everything V- _________ their power to protect that
ship and avoid
a major incident, but some things are
VI- __________your control. In reality, they will
never be praised for saving the ship, only criticised
for grounding it.
This crew is acutely aware of the issues the
incident has caused and they are reminded of it
every time they open their phone or computer to
read the news or speak to their families, and I feel
for every single one ofthem.
They”re now stuck in an Egyptian lake, further
away from their families, without the ability to
defend themselves with the threat of civil and
criminal charges looming. This downward spiral
will undoubtedly be taking its toll on their mental
health and in the past, there hasn't been much of
a
support system in place to help.
Based on my experience offshore, working for
a
company that provides mental well-being training,
and from all of the feedback, Tapiit has garnered
from its live-streamed mental health awareness
courses, seafarers want and need this support. Yet,
there's
a deep-rooted fear that admitting they're
struggling and asking for help will be the end of
their careers.
Of course, the conversation has advanced
significantly, however, it's still not where it should
be. The harsh reality is, the Ever Given and its crew
will be forgotten about in
a month or two”s time,
but this crew is hurting and will continue to struggle
with the mental health issues caused by the incident
for years to come.

Read the following extract to answer question.
Innovation in the language teaching field in the late 1980s
and 1990s has been stimulated by a special concern for
the language learning process. New methods propose that
language learning is best served when students are interacting
– completing a task or learning content or resolving real-life
issues – where linguistic structures are not taught one by one,
but where attention to linguistic form is given as necessary.
These views of language learning have been informed by
research in second language acquisition. Also giving learning
a special focus are methodological innovations of the late
1980s and 1990s. These include teaching learning strategies,
using cooperative learning, and planning lessons in such a
way that different intelligences are addressed.

Coronavirus: Venice Carnival closes as Italy
imposes lockdown
23 February 2020
Italian officials have cut short the Venice Carnival as they
try to control what is now the worst outbreak of the
coronavirus in Europe.
Authorities in the Veneto region said the event
would end later on Sunday, two days earlier than
scheduled. Italy has by far the highest number of
coronavirus cases in Europe, with 152. Three people have
died.Italy has imposed strict quarantine restrictions in two
northern "hotspot" regions close to Milan and Venice.
About 50,000 people cannot enter or leave several
towns in Veneto and Lombardy for the next two weeks
without special permission. Even outside the zone, many
businesses and schools have suspended activities. and
sporting events have been cancelled. The BBC's Mark
Lowen described the situation just outside the zone. ln
neighbouring Austria, a train from Venice was stopped at
the Austrian border after it emerged that two passengers
had fever symptoms. Austria's Interior Minister Karl
Nehammer later confirmed to the BBC that the pair tested
negative for coronavirus.
ºAll authorities have acted quickly and with great
caution in this case," said Mr Nehammer in a statement.
"The reporting chain worked without delay." Elsewhere, authorities in South Korea and Iran are battling
to control rising numbers of infections. South Korea has
raised its coronavirus alert to the "highest level".
The new strain of coronavirus, which originated
last year in Hubei province in China, causes a respiratory
disease called Covid-19. China has seen more than
76,000 infections and 2,442 deaths.
What is happening in Italy?
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced on
Saturday that "extraordinary measures" would come into
force to try to stem the rising number of coronavirus cases.
He said the quarantine restrictions could last for
weeks. Police, and if necessary the armed forces, will have
the authority to ensure the regulations are enforced.
Angelo Borrelli, the head of Italy's Civil Protection
Department, told reporters that 11 O of the confirmed cases
were in Lombardy, with 21 in Veneto with others in EmiliaRomagna and Lazio. Officials reported a third death on
Sunday, an elderly woman from the town of Crema
suffering from cancer. Italian officials say they are still
trying to trace the source of the outbreak.
Universities in Milan have been closed and the
city's mayor, Giuseppe Sala, said schools would also close
their doors while the outbreak continued. "As a precaution I
think that the schools have to be closed in Milan. I will
propose to the president of the region to enlarge the
precaution to the entire metropolitan city area. lt is just a
precautton, we don't want to create parue," he said.
Meanwhile Giorgio Armanì's fashion show, scheduled
to be held (I) Milan (li) Sunday, went
ahead but without any media or buyers present. The show
was livestreamed (lii) its website, lnstagram and
Facebook pages.

The Printing Press
If you asked a large number of people what the most important invention has been, many would say the printing press. Others might say the wheel. But even though it’s debatable whether the appearance of the printing press affects the course of history more than the wheel. The printing press ranks within the top two or three inventions in history. Long before the telephone, the TV, the radio and the computer, the written word was the only way to communicate ideas to people too far away to talk with. Until the sixth or seventh century, all books had to be written by hand. Creating a book was difficult, and in comparison with today, very few books existed. Therefore, very few people read books.”
