Text 1A2-II
Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is
a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan
parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. About 6-7 million people worldwide
are estimated to be infected with T. cruzi. The disease is found
mainly in endemic areas of 21 continental Latin American
countries, where it has been mostly transmitted to humans and
other mammals by contact with feces or urine of triatomine bugs
(vector-borne), known as kissing bugs, among many other
popular names, depending on the geographical area.
Chagas disease is named after Carlos Ribeiro Justiniano
Chagas, a Brazilian physician and researcher who discovered the
disease in 1909. Chagas disease was once entirely confined to
continental rural areas of the Region of the Americas (excluding
the Caribbean islands). Due to increased population mobility
over previous decades, most infected people now live in urban
settings and the infection has been increasingly detected in the
United States of America, Canada, and many European and some
African, Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific countries.
Chagas disease’s transmission is caused by T. cruzi
parasites, which are mainly transmitted by contact with
feces/urine of infected blood-sucking triatomine bugs. Normally
they hide during the day and become active at night when they
feed on animal blood, including human blood. They usually bite
an exposed area of skin such as the face (hence its common
name, kissing bug), and the bug defecates or urinates close to the
bite. The parasites enter the body when the person instinctively
smears the bug’s feces or urine into the bite, other skin breaks,
the eyes, or the mouth. T. cruzi can also be transmitted by
consumption of food or beverages contaminated with T. cruzi
through, for example, contact with feces or urine of infected
triatomine bugs or common opossums. This kind of transmission
typically causes outbreaks with more severe cases and mortality;
passage from an infected mother to her newborn during
pregnancy or childbirth; blood or blood product transfusion from
infected donors; some organ transplants using organs from
infected donors; and laboratory accidents.

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
crisis
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
Station.
Entire regions of Earth in flames. Storms trailing
destruction in their wake. And the haunting fragility of
humanity’s only home floating like a blue — but also
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
the naked eye from 400 kilometers (250 miles) up.”

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.
