Zoey is a scientist who was put into hibernation for an 18-month experiment in Svalbard. When she wakes up, everyone else is dead due to a catastrophic event that caused the Earth to stop rotating. She is helped by an AI assistant drone named BEEPBOOP. They search the nearby town of Longyearbyen for supplies. Zoey decides to use the Svalbard Seed Vault, where she was housed, to grow crops and survive. However, climate change causes rapid melting that threatens her crops. BEEPBOOP must leave Zoey alone as it searches for other survivors while she remains in isolation.

ENGLISH 3 STORIES
Story A1
The fictional world of Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison's novel Sula—the African-American section of Medallion, Ohio, a community called the Bottom—is a place where people and natural things are apt to go awry, to break from their prescribed boundaries, a place where bizarre and unnatural happenings and strange reversals of the ordinary are commonplace. The very naming of the setting of Sula is a turning upside-down of the expected; the Bottom is located high in the hills. The novel is filled with images of mutilation, both psychological and physical. A great part of the lives of the characters, therefore, is taken up with making sense of the world, setting boundaries, and devising methods to control what is essentially uncontrollable. One of the major devices used by the people of the Bottom is the seemingly universal one of creating a _____________; in this case, the title character Sula—upon which to project both the evil they perceive outside themselves and the evil in their own hearts.
Story A2
The English language premiere of Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot took place in London in August 1955. Godot is an avant-garde play with only five characters (not including Mr. Godot, who never arrives) and a minimal setting: one rock and one bare tree. The play has two acts; the second act repeats what little action occurs in the first with few changes: The tree, for instance, acquires one leaf. In a statement that was to become famous, the critic, Vivian Mercer, has described Godot as "a play in which nothing happens twice." Opening night, critics and playgoers greeted the play with bafflement and derision. The line, "Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful," was met by a loud rejoinder of "Hear! Hear!" from an audience member. _____________________________________. However, Harold Hobson's review in The Sunday Times managed to recognize the play for what history has proven it to be, a revolutionary moment in theater.
Story A3
This is an excerpt from Mark Twain's Roughing It. Twain gives an eyewitness account of the operation of the Pony Express, the West's first mail system.
The little flat mail-pockets strapped under the rider's thighs would each hold about the bulk of a child's primer. They held many an important business chapter and newspaper letter, but these were written on paper as airy and thin as gold-leaf, nearly, and thus bulk and weight were economized. The stagecoach traveled about a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five miles a day (twenty-four hours), the pony-rider about two hundred and fifty. There were about eighty pony-riders in the saddle all the time, night and day, stretching in a long, scattering procession from Missouri to California, 40 flying eastward, and 40 toward the west, and among them making 400 gallant horses earn a stirring livelihood and see a deal of scenery every single day in the year.
We had a consuming desire, from the beginning, to see a pony-ride ...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A SHORT STORY SCRIPT
Toby Riding
INT. MEDICAL FACILITY, SVALBARD - MORNING, JANUARY 2028
Our unnamed female character (ZOEY for ease) is about to
be put into hibernation. Svalbard is Norweigan
2. 2
Archipelago in the Arctic Circle. The Svalbard Seed Vault
is a global seed bank, where countries can store seeds
for preservation.
ZOEY is a NASA scientist, on an 18 month long mission to
test the feasibility of human hibernation. The work is
highly controversial; due to this and the unstable nature
of the experiment, it is being held in the Svalbard Seed
Vault, one of the most geologically safe locations in the
world.
LAB WORKERS DAVE AND JANE TALKING TO HER. ALL CHARACTERS
ARE OFFSCREEN APART FROM ZOEY
FADE IN: SHOT OF ZOEY LYING IN HIBERNATION CASKET
DAVE
You lucky fuck, getting 18
months of sleep when the boss is
working us to death.
ZOEY
And who is it that’s getting the
danger pay again?
JANE
Dave stop bitching and come and
help me ready the gas. At least
you get a break from Dave’s
moaning for a year and a half. I
think that’s worth the danger in
itself.
MASON ENTERS (REMAINS OFFSCREEN)
MASON
Is she ready? I’ve got the
director listening in.
JANE
Yes sir.
MASON
Are you Zoey? I’m obligated to
remind you that you are not
required to continue, but it
would be a pain in the ass to
find anyone else.
ZOEY
Ready sir.
MASON
Alright then. Err, good luck.
Dave?
3. 3
DAVE
Yep sir. Take care Zoey.
JANE
I mean we are the ones taking
care of her, but still, don’t
have too many parties.
DIRECTOR (OVER CRACKLY
INTERCOM)
Good luck.

ALL
MUFFLED TALKING
FADE TO: TITLES
EXT. ARCTIC DESERT - MORNING
ZOEY is walking across a desert landscape.
ZOEY (V.O)
It was 7 months into the 18
month experiment testing
hibernation (Induced Torpor
Technology for the pedants)when
the earth stopped rotating.
CUT TO:BLOOD SPREADING ACROSS HIBERNATION POD
ZOEY (CONT.)
In hibernation I was blissfully
unaware as the people around me
were catapulted at 375 miles an
hour towards the east facing
wall of the room.
CUT TO: BLACK
ZOEY (CONT.)
I woke to darkness. An oddly
still silence. As the pod opened
liquid started dripping over the
lid onto me. I got up, I stood
in the mulched remains of my
friends.
EXT. SVALBARD SEED VAULT - EVENING
ZOEY stumbles out of the vault door, hunched over against
the gale force winds.
ZOEY (V.O)
4. 4
I stumbled out of the door into
the cold, my footsteps staining
the snow with blood.
BEEPBOOP
Maam, Maam? Are you ok?
I would suggest that you get to
safety, there may be repeat
events.
A GENERAL USE DRONE HOVERS INTO SHOT,
CHASING ZOEY.
BEEPBOOP
BEEPBOOP is a general purpose assistance
drone, first released in 2027, designed to
be an extra pair of eyes and ears for
anyone from security services to middle
class families. NASA was using Svalbard as
a testbed for whether it was suitable to
be rolled out to the more dangerous secure
locations.
ZOEY COLLAPSES, PANTING.
BEEPBOOP
Maam, you need to get inside
now. In about 30 seconds your
feet are going to freeze to the
ice, and in about 15 minutes you
are going to become too cold to
move and die.
NO RESPONSE
BEEPBOOP
Maam, follow my instructions.
Stand up.
ZOEY STANDS UP
BEEPBOOP
Now put one foot in front of the
other and move towards the door.
ZOEY WALKS TOWARDS THE DOOR AND ENTERS THE VAULT
BEEPBOOP
Now shut the door.
ZOEY SHUTS THE DOOR

ZOEY is walking hunched over across a desert landscape.
BEEPBOOP is straining alongside her.
ZOEY
You saved my life that day
BEEPBOOP
An existence with no ma'am would
have been incredibly
unfulfilling.
ZOEY
You flatter me.
ZOEY (V.O)
A few days later, after
recovering we made the trip out
to the nearest town,
Longyearbyen. The town was
normally supplied from regular
shipments coming into the port
in the summer, but there was no-
one to bring them in; everyone
was dead.
BEEPBOOP (V.O)
Longyearbyen sits in a valley
which splits off from the main
Longyearbyen glacier further
uphill and merges at the bottom
with the river created from the
melt.
ZOEY (V.O)
I wasn’t really sure what I was
expecting to find in the
settlement, but I was hoping it
was more than nothing.
CUT TO:
EXT. TOP OF LONGYEARBYEN VALLEY - AFTERNOON
The `camera` is looking down on ZOEY and
BEEPBOOP as they look down on the remains
of Longyearbyen.
ZOEY (V.O)
The stream of melt which once
trickled gently down the bottom
of the valley had washed away
the whole north side of the
town.
BEEPBOOP (V.O)
In an hour I had located about
100 days worth of food, and
ma’am had moved it into a safe
hole in the side of the valley.
6. 6
She took what she could back in
a backpack I found.
EXT. ARCTIC DESERT - Late Afternoon
ZOEY is walking (less) hunched over across a desert
landscape. BEEPBOOP is flying alongside her.
ZOEY (V.O)
That food was only going to last
100 days. Just as it happens, my
glorious hotel for the last 7
months happened to be the
largest seed vault in the world,
holding seeds in case of famine
or extinction. The weather was
still too violent outside so I
went full Mark Watney dragging
soil inside to one of the empty
vaults. Unfortunately the server
containing the catalog of seeds
was currently embedded in wall,
so I just guessed. I mean, how
unlucky could I get picking from
30,574 different types of bean.
CUT TO:
INT. SVALBARD SEED VAULT - MORNING
ZOEY is in vault 2, looking down the long line of crates.
Each packet is being lifted into frame, and then being
carried off by BEEPBOOP to the left.
ZOEY (LOUDLY TO HERSELF)
Peas from the UK, let’s try it!
Barley from the US, ok!
Asian rice from laos, chuck it
down!
Oh wow erm, stuff it - Corn from
North Korea!
CUT TO:
EXT. TOP OF LONGYEARBYEN VALLEY - AFTERNOON
Throughout this scene cuts through time are being made,
showing the river expand.
ZOEY (V.O)
Every few days I returned to
Lonyearbyen, restocking my food
before the crops grew.
7. 7
Day to day the wind was
slowing, and the temperatures
increasing.
BEEPBOOP (V.O)
Each day I recorded the
temperature, and the increase
was accelerating. The glacial
melt, having completely covered
the north side of the valley,
started to spread across to the
south side.
CUT TO:
EXT. SVALBARD SEED VAULT - EVENING
ZOEY is recanting to BEEPBOOP. This is a scene where she
is actually talking.
ZOEY
That was Wednesday. 19th July
2028. Over the next week the
permafrost in the top levels of
the vault started to melt.
Temperatures inside the vault
were now rising. By Thursday the
melting of the permafrost was
flooding the crops, and by
Friday the humidity was reaching
that of a jungle. I spent a
sleepless few days bringing the
hardiest of the crops that
survived down to the deepest
levels of the vault, and
replanting them.
BEEPBOOP
Hurry up, you need to get inside
and I need to leave.
ZOEY
I’m almost done.
On Friday I went for a final
expedition out to Longyearbyen.
CUT TO:
EXT. TOP OF LONGYEARBYEN VALLEY - AFTERNOON (FLASHBACK)
There are no remains of civilisation. Just a river.
ZOEY
There was barely a trace of
civilisation. Pretty much the
only things left were roads,
coming down into the valley on
either side, winding down the
side and then gently running
8. 8
into the new sea. Climate change
had arrived, whether humanity
wanted to have a say or not.
CUT TO:
EXT. SVALBARD SEED VAULT - EVENING (PRESENT)
ZOEY is recanting to BEEPBOOP. This is a scene where she
is actually talking.
BEEPBOOP
And then that evening I told
you.
CUT TO:
EXT. SVALBARD SEED VAULT - EVENING THE PREVIOUS DAY
(FLASHBACK)
No characters visible. ZOEY’s sobbing and screaming `No`
is audible through the door. That is followed by
clattering and bashing. Then silence.
CUT TO:
EXT. SVALBARD SEED VAULT - EVENING (PRESENT)
Cut back.
BEEPBOOP
You tried to reset me.
ZOEY (Deflecting)
It’s going to be quiet without
you.
BEEPBOOP
You’re fine. There are people in
far greater need than you.
ZOEY LOOKS TOWARDS CAMERA
ZOEY (BREAKING 4TH WALL)
All of this is a roundabout way
of saying; please come and find
me. I’m going to be lonely, and
I’m not how long I can last.
BEEPBOOP
If I don’t find anyone, I’ll be
back in October, when the long
night starts. You’ll be able to
come out then.
ZOEY
So I guess this is it.
ZOEY STARTS WALKING TO THE VAULT DOOR

BEEPBOOP
Goodbye ma'am.

FLIES OFF DOWN THE HILL TOWARDS THE OCEAN
