TEXT 1 – MOVIE: THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

The Fault in Our Stars is a 2014 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Josh Boone, based on the novel of the same name by John Green. The film stars Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, and Nat Wolff, with Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, and Willem Dafoe playing supporting roles.

The film offers the first-person accounts of Hazel Grace Lancaster (Woodley), a bright 16-year-old who can hardly remember not living with cancer. She came perilously close to death as a preteen, but an experimental “miracle” treatment beat her disease back to relatively manageable levels: She has to breathe from a tube tethered to an oxygen tank she lugs around like a carry-on bag, and her lifespan has no clear prognosis, but she’s far from helpless.

TEXT 2 - Climate change

Floods in Mozambique. Forest fires in Indonesia. Hurricanes in Florida. Storms in the UK.Global warming impact - forest fires mean climate change Extreme weather events are predicted to become more frequent because of climate change.

What causes climate change?

Climate change or global warming is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide (C02) and other polluting gases in our atmosphere. Global warming caused by greenhouse gases Heat from the Sun is trapped by the gases in our atmosphere. The gases trap heat by forming a blanket around the Earth - like the glass of a greenhouse. Once released the greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for many years. As they build up, the planet's temperature rises. Greenhouse gases are released by burning fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas - and by cutting down forests.

TEXT 3

Violence and other forms of abuse are most commonly understood as a pattern of behavior intended to establish and maintain control over family, household members, intimate partners, colleagues, individuals or groups. While violent offenders are most often known to their victims (intimate or estranged partners and spouses, family members, relatives, peers, colleagues, etc.), acts of violence and abuse may also be committed by strangers.

In any form, violence and abuse profoundly affect individual health and well-being.

The roots of all forms of violence are founded in the many types of inequality which continue to exist and grow in society.

Violence and abuse are used to establish and maintain power and control over another person, and often reflect an imbalance of power between the victim and the abuser.

TEXT 1.

Brazilian race car driver Ayrton Senna was a famous professional race car driver and sportsman at the time of his death in a racing crash in 1994. After an outstanding career on the kart racing circuit, Senna was a three-time champion of the elite Formula One (F1) series. In his brief but spectacular career, Senna proved he was arguably "the most remarkable racing driver of all time," according to Alan Henry in Grand Prix Champions.

Born Ayrton Senna da Silva on March 21, 1960, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Senna was an awkward child who was later diagnosed with a motor-coordination problem. Senna's father, Milton da Silva, was successful businessman and landowner, but also was a motor racing fan, and encouraged his son's fascination with cars. When Senna was four, his father gave him a one-horsepower go-kart. When Senna got behind the wheel, his awkwardness disappeared—he was a natural.

There were no signs of genius in Albert Einstein as a child. he was so late in learning to talk that his parents were worried about him, and at school he wasn't a bright boy.

TEXT 3: IS TXTING 2 MUCH BAD 4 U?

If you're losing sleep or distracted in class, the answer may be yes.

When it comes to teens and texting, many people are asking, “How much is too much?” A recent study by the Nielsen Company found that U.S kids ages 13 to 17 sent and received an average of 2,272 texts per month in the last quarter of 2008. That’s about 80 messages a day – more than double the average of 2007! Is this cause for alarm? Doctors and psychologists warn that excessive texting may be leading to a host of problems , including distractions from schoolwork, interrupted sleep, and thumb injuries caused by too much repetitive motion. 

TEXT 4: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S DISCOVERY: ELECTRICITY

Franklin did not, of course, invent electricity, but he discovered many things about it, previously not understood.

Before Franklin started his scientific experimentation, it was thought that electricity consisted of two opposing forces. Franklin showed that electricity consisted of a "common element" which he named "electric fire." Further, electricity was "fluid" like a liquid. It passed from one body to another — however it was never destroyed. In a letter to Peter Collinson, Franklin wrote that the "fire only circulates. Hence have arisen some new items among us. We say B (and other Bodies alike circumstanced) are electricised positively; A negatively; Or rather B is electricised plus and A minus ... These terms we may use till philosophers give us better."

Franklin's work became the basis for the single fluid theory. When something is being charged, such as a car battery, electricity flows from a positive body, that with an excess charge, to a negative body, that with negative charge. Indeed, a car battery has plus and minus signs on its terminals.

Franklin wrote Collinson in another letter that: "I feel a Want of Terms here and doubt much whether I shall be able to make this intelligible." Not only did Franklin have to posit theories, he also had to create a new language to fit them. Some of the electrical terms which Franklin coined during his experiments include: battery, charge, condensor, conductor, plus, minus, positively, negatively and armature. They are still the terms we use today.

Cultural diffusion is the spread of culture, including aspects such as clothing and food, from one group to another, typically as a result of making contact for the first time. European explorers bringing back foods and other items, such as tobacco, from newly explored lands is an example of cultural diffusion.

When one culture begins to adopt elements of another, be it in manner, religion, food, clothing, agricultural practice or other cultural elements, this is cultural diffusion. Cultural diffusion isn't necessarily a good thing, however. It can lead to the displacement of native cultural traditions, and it can even be dangerous. For example, according to Boise State University, when French explorers arrived in North America, they introduced the smallpox virus, which ended up devastating populations of natives whose immune systems had never been exposed to that particular disease.

Text. 03 The financial crisis that began in 2008, and the efforts to remedy it, lay bare a troubling dichotomy. Our economy depends on increasing levels of consumption to maintain its health. However, the planet we live on is finite. Decreased consumption that has resulted from the crisis is a blessing for ecosystems and dwindling resources. However, it has also led to rising unemployment and all of the related negative social result of increased unemployment levels. From:By Maggie Winslow

Text 05.

We are all busy. Life happens. There’s always something to distract us from getting around to certain things we know we should do. Soccer practice. Work. Home renovations. Getting that next big promotion. And with the explosion of always-on smartphones and tablets delivering a fire hose of urgent emails, not to mention Twitter and Facebook, in recent years, things have only gotten busier.

In the backs of our minds, we know we’re neglecting some stuff we should do. But we never get around to it. Then, something happens. A good friend or loved one – maybe close to us in age – drops dead unexpectedly. We begin to think about what our biggest regrets would be if we were suddenly sitting on our death bed.

 Regrets like theses can become a constant reminder of “what could have been”. But it doesn't have to be that way. Regrets can also enlighten and be an incentive for new opportunity. Here's how that might happen:

•  Conquer your negative emotions;  
• Use your regrets to motivate yourself to take a different action. 
•  Antecipate future regrets before you make major decisions.            
• Use regrets to learn more about what's important to you. 
• Make your 'woulda, coulda, shouldas' works for you.”
