This second Dune movie — (...) — begins with bodies being burned in a pile and exudes a general ambience of old-style fascism, which it combines with tropes from 1950s cardboard Roman epics and Youssef Chahine’s 1963 Saladin film, which is incredibly dull and which I watched once out of boredom. It strives for a Langian Nibelungen-ian quality that it is too glacial and pompous to grasp, even in the black-and-white gladiator sections with eyebrowless Austin Butler refusing to take drugs or use AI to kill his opponent. How many gladiators do we need in movies? As the Lang films prefigured German fascism, the Dune films prefigure some kind of North American fascism, but they also seem like ads for a fictional French-Canadian oil conglomerate that is destroying the planet.

James Cameron's wife had an intense emotional reaction to Avatar: Fire and Ash, the upcoming third installment of the sci-fi franchise.
Speaking with Empire, the filmmaker revealed that his wife of 25 years, Suzy Amis Cameron, "bawled for four hours" after she watched a version of the film late last year. "My wife watched the whole thing from end to end — she had kept herself away from it and I wasn’t showing her bits and pieces as we went along," said Cameron. "She bawled for four hours.”
So much so that Cameron never did quite receive any type of feedback from her. "She kept trying to get a grip so she could tell me specific reactions, and then she’d just tear up and start crying again," recalled Cameron with a laugh. "Finally, I’m like, ‘Honey, I’ve got to go to bed. Sorry, we’ll talk about it some other time.'"

I am writing to complain about a meal we had in your restaurant yesterday.
We had booked a table for six but when we arrived there were no free tables and we had to wait for more than 45 minutes to sit down.
From a menu of 12 dishes, only four were available and their quality was poor. The fish in particular, tasted awful and the waiter was rude when we told him about this.
We have eaten in your restaurant several times in the past but this is the first time we have received such bad treatment. I am not asking for a refund but I would like you to improve the quality of your dishes and service.
Yours faithfully.

• Enunciado com alternativas:
Whether it’s waking up every 45 minutes to feed a screaming baby, making shopping lists while roasting under the duvet in an insomniac hormonal flush, staying up past midnight to clean the house once your children are in bed, or setting the alarm for 4.45am so you can get your elderly mother to the toilet before she has an accident; the night shift of unpaid, unrecognised and uncelebrated domestic labour is still predominantly undertaken by women. While the Office for National Statistics found that in 2022, almost 4.9 million (56%) night-time workers were maleand almost 3.9 million (44%) were female, this does not by any means mean that women are getting more sleep. I very much doubt that it was a breastfeeding woman who smugly declared Friday 14 March as World Sleep Day.

Which item below correctly presents the thesis defended by the author of the text and what resources does she use to defend this thesis?
A) The author argues that men are more affected by sleep deprivation due to work, using statistical data to support this claim and advocating for better work-life balance for men.
B) The author argues that employers should provide more flexible working hours to address sleep deprivation, using statistical data on night-time workers to support this policy recommendation.
C) The author argues that elderly people and children are the most affected by sleep deprivation, using emotional appeals and anecdotal evidence to call for greater societal support for these groups.
D) The author argues that both men and women suffer equally from sleep deprivation, using a balanced presentation of statistical data and personal stories to promote awareness of sleep issues.
E) The author argues that women are disproportionately burdened with unpaid domestic labor at night, using personal anecdotes and statistical data to highlight this imbalance and challenge the celebration of World Sleep Day.

Reality shows are a very popular form of entertainment on TV nowadays. There are dozens of different types of programmes such as singing contests, cooking competitions or going to live in the jungle.
Firstly, I think that there is a lot of variety in reality TV. People at home can choose which types of programme they want to watch depending on what they are interested in. Some people like watching singing or cooking competitions while others prefer watching programmes about building houses or travelling around the world. In addition, reality TV programmes are a great opportunity to discover talented singers, dancers or chefs. Several people who take part in these programmes get jobs as a result of being on TV. Another advantage is that the people on the shows have interesting experiences and meet new people.

CAPTAIN: Well done crew! Sailing Master, your navigation was top-notch.
SAILING MASTER: Thank you, sir. The stars and my trusty compass guided the way.
CAPTAIN: First Mate, you’re the tops!
FIRST MATE: Thanks, Captain. Happy to help.
CAPTAIN: Cook, thanks for the grub.

C) The Carpenter makes a joke about the crew being at the bottom of the sea, which lightens the mood and adds humor to the conversation.
D) The Sailing Master attributes his navigation skills to the stars and compass, which is a common sailor's saying and adds a touch of irony.
