Bonjour. Aujourd’hui, nous allons discuter de l’utilisation des téléphones portables à l’école. Pensez-vous qu’ils devraient être autorisés ?
Bonjour. Oui, mais avec des limites. Les téléphones portables peuvent être très utiles, par exemple pour communiquer avec les parents en cas d’urgence, comme une blessure ou un problème de transport.
Les téléphones peuvent-ils aussi être des outils éducatifs ?
Tout à fait. Ils permettent d’accéder à des ressources éducatives en ligne, comme des vidéos explicatives ou des articles de recherche. De plus, les élèves peuvent organiser leurs devoirs et rendez-vous à l’aide d’applications de gestion du temps, ce qui peut améliorer leur organisation.
Y a-t-il d’autres usages positifs en classe ?
Oui, ils peuvent aider à obtenir de l’aide en temps réel pendant les leçons, par exemple via des applications de chat en groupe. Les téléphones permettent également d’envoyer des photos ou des documents importants rapidement et de manière sécurisée.
Cependant, il doit y avoir des inconvénients. Quels sont-ils selon vous ?
Le principal problème est la distraction. Les élèves peuvent être tentés de consulter les réseaux sociaux pendant les cours, ce qui nuit à leur concentration. Il y a aussi le risque de tricherie, par exemple en utilisant le téléphone pour copier des réponses lors d’un test.
Qu’en est-il des interactions entre élèves ?
Malheureusement, les téléphones peuvent être utilisés pour le harcèlement ou l’intimidation. Par exemple, certains élèves peuvent envoyer des messages ou des images offensants à leurs camarades.
Les téléphones eux-mêmes peuvent-ils être problématiques ?
Oui. Il y a le risque de vol ou d’endommagement du téléphone à l’école. Par exemple, un élève pourrait oublier son téléphone dans un endroit où il peut être pris, ou le faire tomber et l’abîmer.
Pensez-vous que l’utilisation des téléphones peut aussi affecter la santé ?
Oui, une utilisation excessive peut causer des problèmes de santé, comme la dépendance ou des maux de tête. Cela peut être un problème, surtout pour les jeunes qui n’ont pas encore développé de bonnes habitudes numériques.
Selon vous, comment peut-on équilibrer les avantages et les inconvénients ?
Les écoles pourraient établir des règles claires sur l’utilisation des téléphones. Par exemple, ils pourraient être autorisés uniquement pendant les pauses ou pour des activités éducatives spécifiques. Cela permettrait d’en tirer parti tout en limitant les abus.
Merci pour votre analyse. Vous avez bien présenté les deux côtés du débat.
Merci à vous !

We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.
The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.
We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God’s eternal plan.
Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.
The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.
We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.

Typing speed tends to be a little higher on the inspirational quotes test because of the short length of the text to type. You can often reach higher bursts of speed on shorter typing tests. With practice you should be able to reach and maintain this typing speed more often and for an increasingly longer time.

Once upon a time in the bustling world of Scotiabank, a group of phone advisors were about to embark on an exciting new journey. These advisors, known for their impeccable phone manners, were transitioning into the realm of chat advising. The air was filled with anticipation and a hint of nervous excitement.
Leading the charge was a facilitator who gathered the team for a pep talk. "Alright, team! We're moving from phone to chat. This is our chance to shape the future of client service. Let's be result-driven, strive for better, and make sure everyone feels included."
The team, a mix of seasoned pros and eager newcomers, nodded enthusiastically. They were ready to embrace this new challenge. The first few days were a whirlwind of learning: typing speed tests, emoji etiquette classes, and mastering the art of conveying empathy through text. There were a few hiccups, like the time one advisor accidentally sent a client a string of cat emojis instead of the account balance. But they laughed it off and kept going.
One day, an advisor received a chat from a client who was having a tough time understanding their day-to-day banking options. The advisor typed out a detailed explanation, complete with links to helpful resources. The client replied with a virtual high-five emoji and a heartfelt thank you. The advisor beamed with pride.
Meanwhile, the team leader was busy analyzing chat metrics, ensuring the team was hitting their targets. They were determined to be the best chat advisors Scotiabank had ever seen. The leader's motto, "Strive for better," became the team's rallying cry.
As the weeks went by, the team grew more confident. They shared tips and tricks, celebrated each other's successes, and supported one another through the occasional typo mishap. They were not just colleagues; they were a family, united by their commitment to excellence and inclusivity.
And so, the team continued to thrive, always striving for better, shaping the future, and ensuring that every client felt valued and included. They were the chat advisors of Scotiabank, and they were ready for whatever challenges lay ahead.
De zinsvolgorde in het Nederlands is een van de belangrijkste aspecten van de taal en kan soms lastig te begrijpen zijn, vooral voor mensen die Nederlands als tweede taal leren. Het is essentieel om de basisprincipes te begrijpen, omdat de volgorde van woorden invloed heeft op de betekenis van de zin. Het Nederlands heeft een relatief vaste zinsvolgorde, maar er zijn verschillende variaties afhankelijk van het type zin, de context en de gebruikte woorden.
In een gewone hoofdzin staat de werkwoordelijke groep meestal op de tweede plaats, terwijl het onderwerp aan het begin van de zin komt. Bijvoorbeeld: Ik eet een appel. Hier staat het onderwerp ik aan het begin, gevolgd door het werkwoord eet. Dit is de meest gebruikelijke volgorde, bekend als de SVO-structuur (subject-verb-object).
Wanneer er een ander element aan het begin van de zin staat, bijvoorbeeld een tijdsaanduiding of een plaatsaanduiding, verschuift het onderwerp naar een andere positie in de zin. Dit wordt de inversie genoemd. Bijvoorbeeld: Morgen ga ik naar de stad. Hier staat morgen aan het begin van de zin, en wordt het onderwerp ik naar de derde positie verplaatst, terwijl het werkwoord ga op de tweede plaats blijft.
In bijzinconstructies is de zinsvolgorde anders. Het belangrijkste kenmerk van bijzinnen is dat het werkwoord aan het einde van de zin staat. Bijvoorbeeld: Ik weet dat hij morgen komt. Hier staat dat aan het begin van de bijzin, en het werkwoord komt staat helemaal aan het einde. Dit maakt het Nederlands bijzonder en onderscheidt het van veel andere talen waarin de werkwoordsvolgorde in bijzinnen minder strikt is.
Naast de basisstructuur zijn er ook regels voor de volgorde van meerdere werkwoorden in een zin. In samengestelde tijden, zoals de voltooide tijd, staan hulpwerkwoorden meestal vooraan in de werkwoordelijke groep, terwijl het voltooid deelwoord aan het einde staat. Bijvoorbeeld: Hij heeft een boek gelezen. Hier staat heeft vooraan en gelezen aan het einde. Bij bijzinnen kan deze volgorde soms omkeren, afhankelijk van de complexiteit van de zin. Bijvoorbeeld: Omdat hij het boek gelezen heeft.
Een andere interessante regel betreft modale werkwoorden zoals kunnen, moeten en willen. Deze worden gevolgd door een infinitief die naar het einde van de zin verplaatst wordt. Bijvoorbeeld: Ik moet morgen werken. Hier wordt werken naar het einde van de zin verplaatst.
Bij vraagzinnen verschuift de zinsvolgorde opnieuw. In ja/nee-vragen komt het werkwoord altijd aan het begin van de zin. Bijvoorbeeld: Kom jij morgen? Hier staat kom op de eerste plaats. Bij open vragen begint de zin meestal met een vraagwoord zoals wie, wat, waar, of hoe, gevolgd door het werkwoord. Bijvoorbeeld: Waar ga jij heen?
Naast deze algemene regels zijn er talloze nuances en uitzonderingen. Het gebruik van conjuncties zoals en, maar, of, want, en dus kan de structuur van de zin beïnvloeden. Sommige conjuncties, zoals dat, omdat en terwijl, introduceren bijzinnen, waardoor het werkwoord naar het einde van de zin wordt verplaatst. Andere, zoals en en maar, verbinden twee hoofdzinnen waarbij de werkwoordvolgorde intact blijft.
Tot slot is er ook het gebruik van bijwoorden en andere zinsdelen die invloed kunnen hebben op de volgorde. Bijwoorden zoals altijd, nooit en vaak staan meestal na het werkwoord in de hoofdzin, maar voor het werkwoord in de bijzin. Bijvoorbeeld: Ik ga vaak naar de winkel en Omdat ik vaak naar de winkel ga.
De Nederlandse zinsvolgorde lijkt misschien complex, maar door veel te oefenen en te lezen wordt het uiteindelijk eenvoudiger om de regels toe te passen. Het belangrijkste is om bewust te zijn van de positie van het werkwoord, omdat dit de kern vormt van de Nederlandse grammatica.
The Cinnamon Wind is somewhere off the coast of Dorne as Sam leads a prayer service to mourn the passing of Aemon Targaryen. Xhondo's information on the three dragons had given Maester Aemon a second wind, but it was not enough.
Sam recalls some of the ancient maester's words during the sea voyage from Braavos, "No one ever looked for a girl. It was a prince that was promised... Rhaegar, I thought... The error crept in from the translation. Dragons are neither male nor female... Daenerys is the one, born amidst salt and smoke... Lady Melisandre has misread the signs. Stannis has some of the dragon blood in him, yes... Rhaelle, Egg's little girl, she was how they (the Baratheons) came by it... They must send her a maester. Daenerys must be counseled, taught, protected..."
Aemon begged Sam to convince the archmaesters of this, and later rambled some of the following (perhaps prophetic) lines: "a glass candle that could not be lit; eggs that would not hatch; the sphinx was the riddle, not the riddler."
Gilly and Sam sit together after the eulogy, drinking rum. Gilly points out that had Aemon remained on the Wall, Melisandre might have sacrificed him for his king's blood. Jon must have known this, and sent the old maester, as well as Dalla's boy, to save them from the Red Woman's fires.
Gilly then says that she will name the boy Aemon Steelsong once he reaches the age of two. Below decks, Sam and Gilly have sex, although he is consumed by guilt for forsaking his vows. Afterwards, Sam tries to avoid Gilly, but Kojja corners him and tells him that what he and Gilly did was considered holy in the Summer Islands, a way of honoring the dead by celebrating life.
Kojja advises Sam that Gilly knows they can never be man and wife, but there was nothing wrong with them comforting each other on the long journey. Sam is persuaded, but perhaps it is because Kojja threatens to throw him overboard if he does not continue sleeping with Gilly.
Pip knew he had changed and not for the best since he had met Mr Jaggers and learnt that he was to become a gentleman. What does this tell us about Pip?
It tells us that Pip is a person with a guilty conscience that blames him for his mistakes.
Say if you agree or disagree with the following statement giving reasons: "Pip had a guilty conscience."
I completely agree with that. Pip knew he had changed for the worst since he had known he had a fortune. He felt guilty for being unfriendly to Joe and for not visiting him. He felt guilty for Herbert because he made him spend much more money than he could afford.
"I sometimes wished that I had never met Miss Havisham." Why do you think Pip wishes so?
I think because it was Miss Havisham who made him know Estella who has been one of the main causes of his suffering.
If you were Herbert, would you make friends with Pip? Say why/ Why not.
Of course, I would because Pip was a good friend only to Herbert. He paid his debts. Pip also helped Mr Clarriker with his business on condition that he offers Herbert a well-paid job.
"You should know," replied Estella, "because I am what you made me!" Comment. OR: Miss Havisham has a taste of her own medicine. Show how.
To take revenge on men, Miss Havisham has taught Estella how to be a proud, hard woman, with a cold heart. Now, Miss Havisham herself suffers from Estella's cruelty. She is harvesting the evil she has planted.
If Estella had wanted to break men's hearts, she could have married Pip and broken his heart. Why do you think she preferred Drummle to Pip?
In my opinion, Estella prefers Drummle for his wealth and social status. This will break Pip's heart as well as all her other admirers' hearts.
"You know that I want to trick all of my admirers. All of them, apart from you!" Why do you think Estella says this to Pip?
It seems that Estella wants Pip to believe that he is special. Perhaps Miss Havisham wants her to do this.
Why do you think Pip felt sorry for not visiting Joe and Biddy sooner?
Because they were kind, loving and patient. They loved him and did not want anything from him.
If you were Biddy, would you accept any money from Pip? Why/ Why not?
No, I wouldn't. Biddy had a job as a teacher in the new village school
"After all, I learnt such a lot when I helped you with your lessons at my grandmother's school." What do you think is the indirect message Biddy wants to convey?
Perhaps she wanted to remind Pip that she was his first teacher. He owed him this favour.
"I realised that they knew me better than I knew myself." Why do you think Joe and Biddy knew Pip well?
Pip was brought up in Joe's house; the two were good friends. Biddy used to teach Pip at the village school. In addition, they loved him. When you love someone, you pay attention to everything about them.
"sixth sick sheik's sheep's sick"
Acclimated to the routine of Cat of the Canals, Arya is learning the Braavosi tongue and trying to learn three new things every time she is sent forth from the House of Black and White, as the kindly man told her she must. Selling clams by day, she sleeps in a bed with Brusco's daughters by night, and for three days during each black moon, she returns to the House of Black and White.
She delivers all three things the kindly man wants her to learn, but he still sends her back to Brusco. He tells her of the Many-Faced God; especially how all religions are aware of him, even if they do not worship him. Even within the Seven there exists the Stranger, whom the kindly man calls "Him of Many Faces".
One night when the black moon begins, she meets Dareon after he departs the Happy Port. Arya is angered by the singer's abandonment of his vows as a black brother. Returning to Brusco's, she gives him the coin she has collected selling his mollusks and a pair of new boots, then heads to the House of Black and White for three nights.
The waif teaches her how to identify certain poisons like Sweetsleep and the Tears of Lys, and then tells her the full story of how she came to the temple.
She claims to be the eldest child from an ancient house, but when her stepmother had a true daughter, the woman tried to poison the waif. When her father discovered this, he delivered two-thirds of his wealth to the House of Black and White, and soon after, his second wife was dead and the waif now a servant in the temple.
She reveals that she lied about part of that tale, but before Arya can guess which part, the kindly man visits her. She tells him the three new things she has learned, finishing with the knowledge that Dareon is dead- his throat was slit and his body dumped in the canal.
When the kindly man asks who killed him, she replies, "Arya of House Stark." The priest again asks her who she is, to which she answers, "no one". But, as always, he tells her she lies, then asks the waif to bring Arya some warm milk to help her sleep. Arya goes to bed, but upon awakening in the morning, she discovers that she is blind.
Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, he taught me and said to me...
Hear, O sons, a father's instruction,
and be attentive, that you may gain insight,
for I give you good precepts;
do not forsake my teaching.
When I was a son with my father,
tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,
he taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;
keep my commandments, and live.
Get wisdom; get insight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;
love her, and she will guard you.
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get insight.
Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;
she will honor you if you embrace her.
She will place on your head a graceful garland;
she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”
Hear, my son, and accept my words,
that the years of your life may be many.
I have taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
When you walk, your step will not be hampered,
and if you run, you will not stumble.
Keep hold of instruction; do not let go;
guard her, for she is your life.
Do not enter the path of the wicked,
and do not walk in the way of the evil.
Avoid it; do not go on it;
turn away from it and pass on.
For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know over what they stumble.
My son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
For they are life to those who find them,
and healing to all their flesh.
Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you.
Let your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you.
Ponder the path of your feet;
then all your ways will be sure.
Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil.
