Read the text about a tribute to Franz Kafka for the question

Google Doodle celebrates Franz Kafka’s 130th birthday with ‘The Metamorphosis’ tribute
Google has created a ‘doodle’ in tribute to Franz Kafka on the 130th anniversary of the Germanlanguage
novelist’s birth.
The doodle is based on Kafka’s 1915 novella ‘The Metamorphosis’ – considered by many to be
one of the most important works of fiction of the 20th Century – and shows the character Gregor
Samsa walking into a room in the guise of a large insect.
In the much-celebrated work, Samsa is a travelling salesman who transforms into an insect
overnight. The rest of novella focuses on his struggle to come to terms with his new existence
and the burden it places on his family.
Kafka was born into an Ashkenazi Jewish family on 3 July 1883 in Prague, which was then part
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
He originally trained as a lawyer but began writing short stories in his spare time - eventually
coming to consider it his calling – despite only a handful of his works being published during
his lifetime.
Regarded as one of the 20th Century’s most influential authors, Kafka’s works are dominated by
unreliable narrators who often tell dark tales of existentialist difficulties.
Kafka’s notoriously difficult relationship with his father Hermann is believed to have strongly
influenced his work – with The Metamorphosis itself thought to be based upon Kafka’s own
fears of insignificance and repulsiveness to his own family.

                                 LARGEST AIRCRAFT IN THE WORLD
                                     
      We have lift-off. The world's largest
aircraft has taken to the skies for the first time.The
Airlander 10 spent nearly two hours in the air,
having taken off from Cardington Airfield in
Bedfordshire. During its flight, it reached 3,000 feet
(914 meters) and performed a series of gentle
turns all over a safe area.
      The aircraft is massive – as long as a
football pitch and as tall as six double decker
buses and capable of flying for up to five days. It
was first developed for the US government as a
long-rangesurveillance aircraft but
was scrapped following cutbacks.
      Each one cost 25 million pounds and can
carry heavier loads than jumbo jets while also
producing less noise and emitting less pollution.
The makers, Hybrid Air Vehicles, believe it‟s the
future of aircraft, and that one day we'll be using
them to get places.
      But we're a while away yet. The Airlander
will need to clock up 200 hours‟ flying time before
beingdeemed airworthy by aviation bodies. If it passes though, we can hope we'll all get some
extra leg room.


The English grammar is very strict when
compared to other languages. In fact, it is one of
the easiest to speak, people have been adjusting
to this behavior since childhood and this can
probably make everyone‟s lives easier too. In the
text there are comparisons with ‘‘as…as’’ and we
can explain these uses by assuring that: Choose
the correct alternative:

TEXT 05

What is English as a Lingua Franca
What students need most from their
language classes affects how we teach. But
to what extent do we consider students'
needs when it comes to pronunciation? How
often do we stop to consider the needs of
students who are learning English to mainly
communicate with other non-native
speakers? In this situation, English is used
as a Lingua Franca ( henceforth ELF) - a
common language between people who do
not share the same native language. So their
needs are quite different to students who go
to the UK, for example, and want to integrate
within that culture and so may want to sound
as much like a native speaker as possible.
The priority for students using ELF, on the
other hand, is to be as intelligible as possible
to the people they are communicating with.
This does not necessarily mean sounding
like a native speaker.
