Miss Rita Cohen, a tiny, pale-skinned girl who looked half the age of Seymour's daughter, Marie, but claimed to be six years older, came to his factory one day. She was dressed in overalls and ugly big shoes, and a bush of wiry hair framed her pretty face, She was so tiny, so young that he could barely believe that she was at the University of Pennsylvania, doing research into the leather industry in New Jersey for her Masters degree. Three or four times a year someone either phoned Seymour or wrote to him to ask permission to see his factory, and occasionally he would assist a student by answering questions over the phone or, ifthe student struck him as especially serious, by offering a brief tour. Rita Cohen was nearly as small, he thought, as the children from Marie's third-year class, who'd been brought the 50 kilometers from their rural schoolhouse one day, all those years ago, so that Marie's daddy could show them how he made gloves, show them, especially Marie's favorite spot, the laying-off table, where, at the end of the process, the men shaped and pressed each and every glove by pulling it carefully down over steam-heated brass hands. The hands were dangerously not and they were shiny and they stuck straight up from the table in a row, thin-looking, like hands that have been flattened. As alittle girl, Marie was captivated by their strangeness and called them the 'pancake hands". He heard Rita asking, 'How many pieces come in a shipment?" How many? Between twenty and twenty-five thousand.' She continued taking notes as she asked. They come direct to your shipping department? He liked finding that she was interested in every last detail.

Technology has improved things, but what you'll see isn't that different from what you'd have seen hundreds of years ago. Awful work. It's said to be the oldest industry of which remains have been found anywhere. Six- thousand-year-old relics of tanning found somewhere — Turkey, | believe. The first clothing was just skins that were tanned by smoking them. | told you it was an interesting subject once you got into it. My father is the leather scholar; he's the one you should be talking to. Start my father off about gloves and he'Il talk for two days. That's typical, by the way: glovemen love the trade and everything about it, Tell me, have you ever seen anything being manufactured, Miss Cohen?" 'l can't say | have.' 'Never seen anything made?' 'Saw my mother my mother made a cake when | was a child.' He laughed. She had made him laugh. An innocent with spirit, eager to leam. His daughter was easily 30 cm taller than Rita Cohen, fair where she was dark, but otherwise Rita Cohen had to remind him of Marie. The good-natured intelligence that would just waft out of her and into the house when she came home from school, was full of what she'd leamed in class. How she remembered everything. Everything was neatly taken down in her notebook and memorized overnight. "lll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to bring you right through the whole process. Come on. We're going to make you a pair of gloves and you're going to watch them being made from start to finish. What size do you wear?” What was Seymour's first impression of Rita Cohen?.

CASE 2 During this mixed methods study, a ‘16 item questionnaire’ was administered to obtain quantitative input and was constructed to determine the students’ challenges and difficulties in EFL speaking skills development. The data were collected at the end of the semester of the Year 2023. The respondents were 25 EFL teachers randomly selected from the fifth to the seventh semester of the English Study Program at XX University. To enrich and support the quantitative findings, a semi-structured open-ended interview was also employed. The rationale for using semi-structured open-ended interviews was to understand the teachers´ points of view rather than make generalizations. The themes that emerged during the interview sessions were coded following the qualitative dimensions of the questionnaire. For the analysis, a joint display was used to integrate qualitative and quantitative findings. The results showed that factors associated with the use of L1 and lack of vocabulary are challenges students have to deal with when trying to communicate. Therefore, effective instructional practices and a positive classroom environment have a central role in the university classroom. Based on the information provided, choose the qualitative research question that would be more appropriate for this research. A. What do EFL teachers think about the importance of the development of speaking skills?. B. What are the EFL students´ perceptions regarding the difficulties and challenges they face in the development of speaking skills?. C. What are the EFL teachers´ perceptions regarding the difficulties and challenges students face in the development of students´ speaking skills?. D. How do students perceive the strategies teachers apply to face the challenges in the development of speaking skills?.

Based on the information provided, choose the quantitative research question that would be more appropriate for this research. A. What is the level of mastery of EFL students´ speaking skills?. B. What kind of strategies do EFL teachers use to develop their students´ speaking skills?. C. What are the students´ experiences regarding the difficulties they face in the development of writing skills?. D. What are the most common difficulties and challenges students face in the development of speaking skills?.

What was the reason for choosing mixed methods research?. A. Because the design chosen permitted to gathering of both qualitative and quantitative input simultaneously to explain and extend the results to gain a comprehensive insight into the research. B. Because the design chosen allowed researchers to gain an understanding of the issue through a joint display. C. Because the design chosen permitted to gather quantitative input to corroborate and contrast results obtained in the qualitative phase to gain a comprehensive insight into the research. D. Because the design chosen permitted to gathering of qualitative input to explain quantitative results to gain a comprehensive insight into the research.

An eye for detail Artist Susan Shepherd is best known for her flower paintings, and the large garden that surrounds her house is the source of many of her subjects. It is full of her favourite flowers, most especially varieties of tulips and poppies. Some of the plants are unruly and seed themselves all over the garden. There is a harmony of colour, shape, and structure in the two long flower borders that line the paved path which crosses the garden from east to west. Much of this is due to the previous owners, who were keen gardeners, and who left plants that appealed to Susan. She also inherited the gardener, Danny. ‘In fact, it was really his garden,’ she says. ‘We got on very well. At first he would say, “Oh, it’s not worth it” to some of the things I wanted to put in, but when I said I wanted to paint them, he recognized what I had in mind.’ Susan prefers to focus on detailed studies of individual plants rather than on the garden as a whole, though she will occasionally paint a group of plants where they are. More usually, she picks them and then takes them up to her studio. ‘I don’t set the whole thing up at once,’ she says, ‘I take one flower out and paint it, which might take a few days, and then I bring in another one and build up the painting that way. Sometimes it takes a couple of years to finish.’ Her busiest time of year is spring and early summer, when the tulips are out, followed by the poppies. ‘They all come out together, and you’re so busy,’ she says. But the gradual decaying process is also part of the fascination for her. With tulips, for example, ‘you bring them in and put them in water, then leave then for perhaps a day and they each form themselves into different shapes. They open out and are fantastic. When you first put them in a vase, you think they are boring, but they change all the time with twists and turns.’ Susan has always been interested in plants: ‘I did botany at school and used to collect wild flowers from all around the countryside,’ she says. ‘I wasn’t particularly interested in gardening then; in fact, I didn’t like garden flowers, I thought they were artificial – to me, the only real ones were wild.’ Nowadays, the garden owes much to plants that originated in far-off lands, though they seem as much at home in her garden, rather like an affectionate aunt who is quite happy for children to run about undisciplined as long as they don’t do any serious damage. With two forthcoming exhibitions to prepare for, and a ready supply of subject material at her back door, finding time to work in the garden has been difficult recently. She now employs an extra gardener but, despite the need to paint, she knows that, to maintain her connection with her subject matter, ‘you have to get your hands dirty.’ What is Susan’s approach to painting?. A. She will wait until a flower is ready to be picked before painting it. B. She likes to research a plant before she paints it. C. She spends all day painting an individual flower. D. She creates her paintings in several stages.

Susan thinks that tulips. A. are more colourful and better shaped than other flowers. B. are not easy to paint because they change so quickly. C. look best some time after they have been out. D. should be kept in the house for as long as possible.

On the rails Five celebrities tell Andrew Morgan their favourite memories of railway journeys. A Andrea Thompson – Newsreader I fell in love with the south of France a long time ago and try to get back there as often as I can. There’s a local train from Cannes along the coast which crosses the border with Italy. It takes you past some of the most amazing seascapes. It never matters what the weather is like, or what time of the year it is, it is always enchanting. Out of the other window are some of the best back gardens and residences in the whole of France. You feel like someone peeping into the property of the rich and famous. The travellers themselves are always lively because there is an interesting mix of tourists and locals, all with different itineraries but all admirers of the breathtaking journey. B Rod Simpson – Explorer I have enjoyed so many rail journeys through the years, but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the Nile Valley Express, which runs across the desert of northern Sudan. The one misfortune in my youth, growing up in South Africa, was missing out on a family train journey from Cape Town to the Kruger National Park. I was regarded as being too young and troublesome and was sent off to an aunt. When I came to live in England as a teenager, I still hadn’t travelled by train. London Waterloo was the first real station I ever saw and its great glass dome fi lled me with wonder. C Betty Cooper – Novelist I am indebted to one train in particular: the Blue Train which took my husband and me on our honeymoon across France to catch a boat to Egypt. It was on the train that my husband gave me a pink dress, which I thought was absolutely wonderful. Someone happened to mention that pink was good for the brain, and I’ve never stopped wearing the colour since. What I remember about the journey itself, however, is how lovely it was to travel through France and then by boat up the Nile to Luxor. It was, without a doubt the perfect way to wind down after all the wedding preparations. D Martin Brown – Journalist We were working on a series of articles based on a round-the-world trip and had to cross a desert in an African country. There wasn’t a road, so the only way we could continue our journey was to take what was affectionately known as the Desert Express. The timetable was unreliable – we were just given a day. We also heard that, in any case, the driver would often wait for days to depart if he knew there were passengers still on their way. When it appeared, there was a sudden charge of what seemed like hundreds of people climbing into and onto the carriages – passengers were even allowed to travel on the roof free. During the night, the train crossed some of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. It was like a dream, like travelling across the moon. E Jennifer Dickens – Actress I imagine most people’s favourite impressions of trains and railways are formed when they are young children, but that’s not my case. I was brought up in Singapore and Cyprus, where I saw very few trains, let alone travelled on them. It wasn’t until I was a teenager that trains began to dominate my life. I made a film which featured a railway in Yorkshire. Most of the filming featured a railway in Yorkshire. Most of the filming took place on an old, disused stretch of the line which had been lovingly maintained by volunteers. That’s where my passion for steam trains began. When we weren’t filming, we took every opportunity to have a ride on the train, and, when I went back last year, it was as if time had stood still. Everything was the same, even the gas lights on the station platform! Which person Was unable to count on the train service?. A. Andrea Thomson – Newsreader. B. Rod Simpson - Explorer. C. Betty Cooper – Novelist. D. Martin Brown – Journalist. E. Jennifer Dickens – Actress.

enjoyed the company of fellow passengers?. A. Andrea Thomson – Newsreader. B. Rod Simpson - Explorer. C. Betty Cooper – Novelist. D. Martin Brown – Journalist. E. Jennifer Dickens - Actress.
