The document describes three accounts of lucky escapes. In the first, a scientist in the Amazon was constricted by an anaconda but was saved when his colleagues heard his screams and kicked the snake off of him. In the second, a British climber fell 300 meters down a mountain but survived with only bruises and back fractures, likely cushioned by his large backpack. The third story describes two Norwegian men who were attacked in their tent by a polar bear; one man was dragged away but shot and killed by his friend using their second rifle.

This document provides three lessons from large corporations about dealing with change:
1. To be able to avoid work like a crow, you need to be high up so predators can't reach you like the rabbit.
2. While bullshit may get you to the top like the turkey that ate bull dung, it won't keep you there as the farmer shot the turkey.
3. Getting out of difficult situations doesn't make others your friend, as the cat dug out the bird from cow dung only to eat it, so it's best to remain cautious.

This document introduces C.A.S.K., an acronym for comparing, annotating, summarizing, and identifying key quotes, as a universal method for presenting information across all subjects. It emphasizes that presentation covers core skills like reading, writing, and persuasion. Each component of C.A.S.K. is then described in more detail, highlighting techniques for comparing information, annotating texts, summarizing using a "Somebody Wanted But So" framework, and including key quotes. The document stresses that teaching these presentation skills using C.A.S.K. can significantly improve student test scores.
The document discusses the use of the adverbs "just", "yet", and "already" with the present perfect tense in English. It provides examples of how each adverb is used - with "just" for very recent events, "yet" for things expected to happen but that haven't, and "already" for things that happened sooner than expected. It also gives a sentence structure exercise asking to form sentences using the present perfect with these adverbs.

Relative clauses are used to join information that is repeated. They contain a relative pronoun like who, which, that, where, when or whose to refer back to the antecedent. Relative pronouns depend on whether the antecedent is a person, animal, thing, time or place.

Women have made gradual progress towards equality over the past century. Historically, women lacked many legal rights and protections from abuse. Thanks to activists like Clara Campoamor, Spanish women gained the right to vote in 1931. While laws now establish equal rights for men and women, issues remain such as domestic violence, barriers to women's education, and discrimination against women in the workplace and immigrant women. Continued effort is still needed for women to fully achieve their goals and create a better future.
Jina and her father decided to leave their country to seek a better life abroad. Jina was worried as they waited for their van, but also hopeful about the future. Her father worked long hours in difficult conditions and dreamed of traveling to give them better opportunities. After Jina's mother passed away, her aunt took her and her cousin in. Years later, when an opportunity to join relatives in another country arose, Jina was sad to leave her cousin but excited to start their new life with her father overseas.
The document summarizes changes in the role of women in Spanish society over time. In the past, women woke up early to take care of household responsibilities and children until the afternoon. Now, women still wake up early but also have jobs as professionals like doctors, teachers, or lawyers. After work, they continue household responsibilities and often study additional courses. Women today are busier and more stressed than in the past as they try to balance many responsibilities without help. The document suggests women should find hobbies to reduce stress and bring more balance to their lives.
Nati is a hardworking and responsible Romany student who seems determined to achieve great things. However, as a Romany girl, she will likely face significant obstacles and barriers that will prevent her from achieving her ambitions and expectations, such as attending university, due to the traditions and limitations experienced by Romany women in her community and family. Unless society undergoes a deep social revolution that provides equal opportunities for girls like Nati regardless of their ethnicity, their potential will remain unfulfilled as they will be unable to write their own stories and lives.

Carol is startled awake by her husband slamming the door home from his poker game. Reality sets in, making her dream of freedom with her lover vanish.
Alice studied biology but could not find a job in a lab. She became a housewife and had twins. Later, she took a job as a policewoman to have some work outside the home. As a working mother with a husband who did not help around the house, Alice was exhausted every day from her double duties. During an incident transporting a criminal to court, the criminal overpowered Alice but she was able to escape by feigning a seizure and overtaking the criminal with her own gun. After this dangerous experience, Alice's husband decided to help more around the house, and she eventually found work in a lab as she had originally wanted.
Jurgita is a woman working her third night at a bar called Ipanema to support her son. A rude customer calls her derogatory names and makes lewd gestures. Though angry, Jurgita remains professional to avoid problems. An old regular advises her to ignore the unhappy customer, as he is a regular but bitter man. Later, when the rude customer howls at her, Jurgita sternly tells him that in her country, pigs do not sing like wolves.
The document discusses the heavy burden that women carry through their daily contributions to social, cultural, and economic development, which often go unrecognized. The author inherited this "backpack" at birth and has carried it for 50 years, but now wants to take it off and inspire other women to do the same at an earlier age. She wants freedom from the stress of having to prove herself as a good worker and mother, and for her daughters not to have to shoulder this weight. The small, daily jobs done by women have propelled human progress, and the author wonders what would happen if women set down this burden and who would take it up instead.
In her dream, Ofelia Grant was a 23-year-old suffragette living in London in 1917 who fought for women's right to vote. At that time, women could not vote or work, but Ofelia believed women deserved more. A year later, Parliament granted some women the right to vote due to many men fighting in World War I. Upon waking, she reflected on how far women's rights have come since then but also how much further they still need to go to achieve true equality.
