1 - ENEM/2015)

Why am I compelled to write? Because the writing saves me from this complacency I fear. Because I have no choice. Because I must keep the spirit of my revolt and myself alive. Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it.

Masters of War 

Come you masters of war

You that build all the guns

You that build the death planes

You that build all the bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks.

You that never done nothin’

But build to destroy

You play with my world

Like it’s your little toy

You put a gun in my hand

And you hide from my eyes

And you turn and run farther

Whe the fast bullets fly.

Like Judas of old

You lie and deceive

A world war can be won

You want me to believe

But I see through your eyes

And I see through your brain

Like I see through the water

That runs down my drain.

A Tall Order

The sky isn’t the limit for an architect building the

world’s first invisible skycraper.

Charles Wee, one of the world’s leading high-rise architects, has a confession to make: he’s bored with skyscrapers. After designing more than 30, most of which punctuate the skylines of rapidly expanding Asian cities, he has struck upon a novel concept: the first invisible skyscraper.

As the tallest structure in South Korea, his Infinity Tower will loom over Seoul until somebody pushes a button and it completely disappears.

When he entered a 2004 competition to design a landmark tower, the Korean-American architect rejected the notion of competing with Dubai, Toronto, and Shanghai to reach the summit of man-made summits. “I thought, let’s not jump into this stupid race to build another ‘tallest’ tower,” he says in a phone conversation. “Let’s take an opposite approach — let’s make an anti-tower.”

The result will be a 150-story building that fades from view at the flick of a switch. The tower will effectively function as an enormous television screen, being able to project an exact replica of whatever is happening behind it onto its façade. To the human eye, the building will appear to have melted away.

It will be the most extraordinary achievement of Wee’s stellar architectural career. After graduating from UCLA, he worked under Anthony Lumsden, a prolific Californian architect who helped devise the modern technique of wrapping buildings inside smooth glass skins.

Mount Roraima, a Mystified Hiking Experience

Hiking here is not hard and you can also get help from the indigenous population, as they organize tour guides in exchange for a small sum of money. If you are on your own however, try to reserve at least four days for this fantastic journey, as there are plenty of things to see and enjoy up there. Mount Roraima is said to have some of _____________________ hiking trails in the world.

You should not leave after 2 p.m. from the village as trekkers are no longer allowed after this hour. At the beginning of your climb, your baggages will be strictly checked and you can not take more than 15 kilos with you. So careful how you organize things. Being given that this is a national park , you are not permitted to take rocks or plants along the way.

The top of the mountain measures 2772m, it offers amazing landscapes and establishing a tent around here is possible. However, you should know the weather changes suddenly in this area so be prepared.

Ningaloo Reef

Take a dive with hundreds of tropical fish, colorful coral and the world’s biggest fish, the whale shark, at unspoilt Ningaloo Reef.

The reef on Western Australia’s mid north coast, has gained an impressive reputation as one of Earth’s last ocean paradise.

It’s one of the largest fringing reefs in the world and unlike1 many others; you can get to it just by stepping off the beach.

The marine park stretches 260 kilometers from Bundegi Reef near the town of Exmouth to Amherst Point near Coral Bay in the south.

It reaches nearly 20 kilometers seaward, encompassing a massive 5,000 square kilometers of ocean with 500 species of tropical fish and 220 species of coral in all.

Nothing can compare to the thrill of swimming beside a whale shark. These docile creatures visit the reef each year between April and June.

Rare turtle species hatch here in late January and February. Watch this amazing natural phenomenon on special guided, eco-interactive trails.

Accommodation in the area is comfortable and ranges from camping and backpacker style to chalets, motels, eco-retreats and self catering apartments.

The Internet and education

 1 Until quite recently Silicon Valley and its innovations 2had little effect on teaching and learning. But with the 3rise of the Internet, information technology is now 4beginning to have much more influence on education. 5Two areas that are becoming more and more significant 6are “blogs” and “wiki.”

7 The word “blog” is short for “weblog.” A blog is an 8online diary or “log” of someone’s life, thoughts, or 9opinions. Anyone can create their own blog and blogging 10 is becoming extremely popular. Type “blog” into Google 11 and you’ll get over 500 million hits. For educational 12 purposes, scholars, teachers, and students create blogs 13 as personal online study sites: places to work together 14 and share information and ideas. Some universities even 15 give their students and staff free space on a server to 16 start their own blogs.

17 “Wikis” are websites where anyone can add content 18and make changes so that the site becomes a group 19creation. “Wiki” stands for ‘What I Know Is.” These sites 20can be a valuable source of information and opinion for 21students. However, the information may not be totally 22accurate and some scholars refuse to use them. Perhaps 23 the best-known wiki is the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, 24 which has more than one million entries in over 100 25 languages. Wikipedia is working hard to make sure that 26 its information is completely accurate so that students 27 will be able to use it with confidence. There’s no doubt 28 that it is an incredible resource.

The six-year molars

The six-year molars are the first permanent teeth. They are the “keystone” of the dental arch. They are also extremely susceptible to decay.

Parents have to understand that these teeth are very important. Over 25% of 6 to 7 year old children have beginning cavities in one of the molars.

The early loss of one of these molars causes serious problems in childhood and adult life. It is never easy for parents to make kids take care of their teeth. Even so, parents have to insist and never give up.
