Young people are fast learners. They are energetic, active and have a ‘can-do’ mentality. Given the support and right opportunities, they can take the lead in their own development as well as the development of their communities. In many developing countries, agriculture is still the largest employer and young farmers play an important role in ensuring food security for future generations. They face many challenges, however. For example, it is very difficult to own land or get a loan if you do not have a house―which, if you are young and only just starting your career, is often not yet possible. Working in agriculture requires substantial and long-term investments. It is also quite risky and uncertain, because it relies heavily on the climate: flooding, drought and storms can damage and destroy farmers’ crops and affect livestock.

[email protected] [email protected] April 3, 2025 Attention Council Dear Members of the Woodville City Council, I am writing to inform you of several issues in our community that need attention. A resident, John Smith, of 123 Elm Street, has reported problems with the road conditions on Elm Street, especially between Maple Avenue and Oak Street. There are many potholes and cracks that have worsened after recent heavy rain, causing traffic disruptions and safety hazards. Even though temporary repairs have been made, the problems continue. The resident is also concerned about poor lighting in Central Park, especially along Park Lane, because broken or missing streetlights have led to minor accidents and lowered property values. He requests that the Council repair Elm Street and improve the lighting in the park. I urge the Council to address these issues for the safety and well-being of our community. Thank you for your attention to these matters. I trust we will work together to resolve these issues effectively. Sincerely, Stephen James Head of Woodville City Council

Department of Health and Human Services Mission Statement The mission of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to enhance the health and well-being of all individuals in the nation, by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services. Organizational Structure HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities. Eleven operating divisions, including eight agencies in the Public Health Service and three human services agencies, administer HHS’s programs. While HHS is a domestic agency working to protect and promote the health and well-being of the American people, the interconnectedness of our world requires that HHS engage globally to fulfill its mission. Cross-Agency Collaborations Improving health and human services outcomes cannot be achieved by the Department on its own; collaborations are critical to achieve our goals and objectives. HHS collaborates closely with other federal departments and agencies on cross-cutting topics.

[주어진 문장] Schedule your time in a way that relegates distracting activities, such as news consumption and social-media scanning, to prescribed times.

When you learn to drive, you are taught to maintain a level of situational awareness that is wide enough to help you anticipate problems but not so wide that it distracts you. The same goes for your project. ( ① ) You need to know what’s going on around you that might affect your life and work, but not what is irrelevant to these things. ( ② ) I am not advocating a “full ostrich” model of ignoring the outside world entirely. ( ③ ) Rather, I mean to recommend ordering your information intake so that extraneous stuff doesn’t eat up your attention. ( ④ ) Perhaps you could decide to read the news for 30 minutes in the morning and vegetate* on social media for 30 minutes at the end of the day. * vegetate: 하는 일 없이 지내다

As OECD countries prepare for an AI revolution, underscored by rapid advancements in generative AI and an increased availability of AI-skilled workers, the landscape of employment is poised for significant change. ①To navigate this shift, it’s critical to prioritise training and education to equip both current and future workers with the necessary skills, and to support displaced workers with adequate social protection. ②Additionally, safeguarding workers’ rights in the face of AI integration and ensuring inclusive labour markets become paramount. ③Social dialogue will also be key to success in this new era. ④Many experts believe that AI will completely replace all human jobs within the next decade. Together, these actions will ensure that the AI revolution benefits all, transforming potential risks into opportunities for growth and innovation.

The idea that society should allocate economic rewards and positions of responsibility according to merit is appealing for several reasons. (A) An economic system that rewards effort, initiative, and talent is likely to be more productive than one that pays everyone the same, regardless of contribution, or that hands out desirable social positions based on favoritism. (B) Rewarding people strictly on their merits also has the virtue of fairness; it does not discriminate on any basis other than achievement. (C) Two of these reasons are generalized versions of the case for merit in hiring─efficiency and fairness.

Active listening is an art, a skill and a discipline that takes __________________. To develop good listening skills, you need to understand what is involved in effective communication and develop the techniques to sit quietly and listen. This involves ignoring your own needs and focusing on the person speaking―a task made more difficult by the way the human brain works. When someone talks to you, your brain immediately begins processing the words, body language, tone, inflection and perceived meanings coming from the other person. Instead of hearing one noise, you hear two: the noise the other person is making and the noise in your own head. Unless you train yourself to remain vigilant, the brain usually ends up paying attention to the noise in your own head. That’s where active listening techniques come into play. Hearing becomes listening only when you pay attention to what the person is saying and follow it very closely.

The holiday season is a time to give thanks, reflect on the past year, and spend time with family and friends. However, if you’re not careful, it can also be a time you overspend on holiday purchases. People have an innate impulse to overspend, experts say. They are “wired” to be consumers. The short-term gratification of giving gifts to loved ones can eclipse the long-term focus that’s needed to be good with money. That’s where many people fall short. We can overspend because our long-term goals are much more abstract, and it actually requires us to do extra levels of cognitive processing to delay instant gratification. Additionally, consumers may feel __________________ because they don’t want to appear “cheap.” Many companies also promote deals during the holidays that can encourage people to spend more than usual.
