A1-A2 - A vingança dos peixes 

Era uma vez (porque é assim que todos os bons contos começam) uma família de peixes. Na verdade, eram várias famílias. Nadavam todos pelo mar. Divertiam-se muito a jogar às escondidas, jogavam futebol com conchas e tinham muitas outras brincadeiras. Isto tudo para dizer que viviam uma vida simples, mas cheia de alegria e felicidade. Viviam com outras criaturas marinhas. Claro que, de vez em quando, havia um “desaparecimento”, especialmente quando passava por lá um tubarão, mas isso era a lei da Natureza, e nada podia mudá-la.
Porém, um dia, um peixe desapareceu sem ninguém saber porquê. Estavam todos preocupados, porque ele não voltava. Vários dias depois, outros peixes desapareceram. Portanto, todos os peixes que ainda estavam vivos juntaram-se e decidi- ram explorar os oceanos. Poucos dias depois, um peixe voltou e contou aos outros o que tinha visto: era um monstro enorme, com várias bocas que nunca se fechavam. Não se lhe distinguiam olhos. Ao ouvir isto, todos os peixes ficaram aflitos e com medo. Brincavam muito menos, estavam muito mais atentos e vigilantes.
Mas, um dia, dois peixinhos ganharam coragem, saíram da casa deles e foram explorar o mar, para ver o monstro que comia os peixes. Esconderam-se atrás das algas como costumavam fazer. Esperaram, esperaram, mas foram recompensados por tanta paciência, porque a criatura demoníaca voltou. Comia tudo o que via, parecia que nunca conseguia saciar-se. Tinha imensas bocas que nunca se fechavam. Apesar do pavor que tinham, ficaram a observar e não fugiram. E fizeram bem, porque, depois, eles viram uma coisa inacreditável: o monstro não comia os peixes, mas guardava-os dentro da barriga. Depois subia para dentro do barco que o arrastava. Oferecia todos os peixes que tinha aos humanos, estava ao serviço deles. Foi então que os dois peixes perceberam que não era monstro nenhum… (…)

A vingança dos peixes de Gaspar Sallé Pinto

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. My name is Carl. Today I want to talk about breaking the ice. So breaking the ice means meeting someone new that you don't know for the first time. So when you go to a party or you go to a new workplace or a new school, you're always going to have the occasion where you need to meet people for the very first time.


And sometimes this can be awkward and you can feel embarrassed about talking to someone if you don't know them and they don't know you and you're not friends yet. So I just wanted to talk really briefly about some advice that I have for you to meet people for the first time in any environment. And this is especially true if you are not a native speaker of their language.


So the first tip I have is to simply smile. Make your face look friendly and welcoming and give eye contact to the person that you want to talk to. It sounds really simple and obvious, but if you missed this step um, you know, this is a very important step and this is half the battle. So make sure that you look approachable yourself and you smile And you might even make a slight hand gesture, like, uh, a mini wave of some sort.  And the next thing is to simply say hello.


You don't have to come up with any kind of clever saying or pick up line or joke just simply saying hello. And you can see if the other person is interested in having a conversation with you.


And another tip is that you can be observant of what the person looks like or what clothes they're wearing and use that as a clue um, to tell you about who they are. For example, if the person is wearing very nice running shoes you kind of have the idea that this person likes to run or this person may be a runner or if you notice that the person has, um, cauliflower ears, you know, scarred ears from wrestling OK, this guy is probably a fighter.
