Α. Read the text below and respond to tasks A1 and A2.

Psychologists have highlighted empathy’s central place in the bank of social and emotional skills that young people need to develop. Research reveals the significance of these life skills, showing that social and emotional skills are more significant for young people’s academic attainment than their IQ. Our brains are plastic and 98 per cent of us are capable of building our empathy skills at any time in our lives.

Teaching empathy is key because, in doing so, we alert children to ways of modifying their relationships with one another that benefit the whole school community. Anyone who has read to a class a compelling story knows the power of it: stories cast a spell.

The demands of the curriculum mean that focused social and emotional learning is often squeezed, or completely neglected. Using stories as our starting point produces a lighter touch – listeners are drawn in and able to reflect on human behaviour and motives. If we simply lecture children about caring for each other, they won’t engage in the same way. Also, using stories protects the children in the class who are vulnerable: we explore characters in a story, allowing

difficult home lives to be held at arm’s length. This is not to say that other approaches to developing greater empathy are of no value, but simply to underline the power of stories in seeding the ground.

Our children are growing up in a society with a major empathy deficit. Hate crimes are at their highest level since records began and there are growing concerns about the empathy-draining effects of social media.

If children become more capable in recognising complex emotions, they have a vocabulary for life with which to meet the difficulties they will face and, crucially, we help them to be more aware of the needs of the people around them. Equipping young people with strong empathy skills can be a major engine for social change, because understanding others helps us to become better citizens, partners and workmates. Some 94 per cent of employers say that social and emotional skills are as important in the workplace as academic qualifications, and all frameworks for these skills highlight the importance of relating well to others.

Social media affect our health

A number of studies suggest that, as well as making us more (ex.) connected than ever before and giving us (10) ___________ hits of dopamine, social media usage is associated with symptoms of depression, (11) _____________ and loneliness in some people. Social networking giant Facebook responded to these (12) ____________ in a blogpost last month, claiming that it’s down to how you use social media rather than social media itself being (13) ___________ bad. That’s true – many technologies have the capacity to cause harm if used (14) ____________ . But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t interrogate the design and impacts of social media in their current form, making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent.

How can city dwellers help with climate change? Buy less stuff

COLUMN A COLUMN B

1. Cities can play a major role in the global effort

to curb climate change, a new report says -

1. And because, as the researchers

found, a hefty portion of those emissions can be traced back to consumer goods, food, and energy produced outside city limits, one of the best things cities can do is help their residents pull back on consumption.

ΤΕΛΟΣ 5ΗΣ ΑΠΟ 6 ΣΕΛΙΔΕΣ

1. Even the most forward-thinking cities have a

long way to go to neutralize their carbon emissions, the report says. That’s partly because, for years, cities have been doing carbon math wrong, adding up only the carbon costs that occur within city limits.

1. A t-shirt, for example, might get made

of cotton grown in India; be manufactured in China using coal energy to power the sewing machines; packed up in yet another country with oil-based plastic packaging.

1. To keep emissions in check, the report

suggests, cities should aim to trim their carbon emissions by 50 percent in the next 11 years, and then by a total of 80 percent by 2050.

1. and a major step they can take is

helping their inhabitants consume a whole lot less stuff by making changes in the way cities are run.

1. But city dwellers - especially those in wealthy

cities in developed countries - tend to buy more, fly more, and use a lot more energy than people who live in rural areas.

1. And when city dwellers’ consumption

habits are added up, it turns out that urbanites have a carbon toll about 60 percent higher than previous calculations suggested.

1. A real assessment of someone’s carbon

footprint takes the carbon footprint of these “consumed” products into account.

1. All the things they buy - from the

clothes to the food to the electronics and more - have their own complicated and often substantial planetary costs that aren’t always immediately obvious.

1. But much of city dwellers’ climate
   

impact actually comes from the things they eat, use, or buy that originate far outside the city - from food to clothes to electronics and more.
