What happened to the fox is called cognitive dissonance. Read the definition and discuss in pairs: Can you think of any time you have done this?

For example, the fox decided that the grapes were bad when he realised he couldn’t get them. The grapes didn’t change, but he decided they did because it was easier than admitting that he had failed. The term cognitive dissonance is used to describe the feelings of discomfort that result when your beliefs run counter to your behaviors and/or new information that is presented to you. Cherry, Kendra. “What Is Cognitive Dissonance?” Very Well Mind. July 18, 2019. Accessed November 05, 2019. https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-cognitive-dissonance-2795012.

TIP 8

If you are 100% sure, you use the present simple: I am sick. To say that something is impossible, you use can’t: I can’t be sick.

Here are some examples of logical fallacies. Listen to the arguments and match them to the fallacy. a Anecdotal: using a personal story, not real evidence.

7

b Appeal to nature: the assumption that if something is natural, it must be good. c Special pleading: arguing that this is an exception to the rule. d Strawman: misrepresenting the other person’s opinion. e Appeal to authority: saying that just because someone is knowledgeable means they must be right. f

Genetic: saying that because someone or something comes from a certain place, it must be correct.

g False cause: assuming that, because one thing is true, another thing must also be true. h Ad hominem: attacking the person, not their arguments.

9

We use may, must, and might when we are talking about certainty. The modal verb we choose depends on how confident we are about what we are saying. Complete the rule. . must . might . may a I

MARK ZUCKERBERG: THE INTERNET NEE DS NEW RULES. LET’S START IN THESE FOUR AREAS.

Technology is a major part of our lives, and companies such as Facebook have immense responsibilities. Every day, we make decisions about what speech is harmful, what constitutes political advertising , and how to prevent sophisticated cyberattacks. These are impo rtant for keeping our community safe. I believe we need a more active role for gove rnments and regulators. By updating the rules for the Internet, we can preserve what’s best about it — the freedom for people to express themselve s and for entrepreneurs to build new things — while also protecting society from broader harms.

1

What is the connection between the title question and the image?

3

Form small groups and do some research to understand what executive functions are.

2

Think of possible connections between the functions of the brain and those of an air traffic controller. Read the paragraph below and compare it with your ideas.

4

What are the connections between executive functions and studying effectively? Complete the chart below.

Executive function and self-regulation skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. Just as an air traffic control system at a busy airport safely manages the arrivals and departures of many aircrafts on multiple runways, the brain needs this skill set to filter distractions, prioritize tasks, set and achieve goals, and control impulses.

Before a listening tas k, read the alternati ves to anticipate the ideas in the text. Cognates are words that have a similar meaning, spelling, an d pronunciation in two languages. They can help you un derstand a written or oral text. When words have a -y at the end, it is important to pronounce them clearly.
