 CPE Review: Chat GPT Picture credit:  https://aloa.co/blog/what-is-chat-gpt-understanding-the-basics-for-product-development-in-2023  An English language magazine called Technology Today is preparing a special edition on technological innovations of recent years such as new gadgets, applications for mobile phones and computer software. You decide to send in a review of something that you have found useful, briefly describing what it can do and analysing reasons why it has become so popular. Write your review . I have been teaching English for almost a decade and until recently, along with different other specialists, I used to create much of my content manually, which was both time consuming and cognitively demanding. Luckily, this has changed since the advent of Chat GPT. Developed in 2022, Chat GPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that uses natural language processing to create humanlike conversational dialogue no matter the complexity of the language. In my case this ha

 CPE Article: Severing the line with the past Picture credit:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/186135621649  CPE Article Task A general interest magazine is inviting readers to contribute to a series of articles about interesting possessions that have been handed down to them by family members. You decide to write an article about something you have inherited from a family member. You should describe what it is and explain why, in general, you think it is important to pass on interesting possessions to future generations. Write your article . The one-meter-long sabre laid enclosed in its sheath peering at me from behind the clothes every time I opened the wardrobe. Just the thought of what its razor-sharp blade did almost a century ago and was capable of in the future sent shivers down my spine. As a nine-year old girl, on the one hand, I thought it would save my life in case of war like it did with my great-great-grandfather, but on the other hand, … A poignant reminder of the Armenian

 CPE Article: The Small Switzerland Picture credit:  https://travelask.ru/questions/315388-v-dilizhana-na-mashine  Be that an image on TV, a photo or a painting, we marvel at scenes of breathtaking nature and secretly wish we were there in occasional pursuit for safe haven, away from chaos and hectic routines of city squares. It seems that no matter how urbanized we’ve become, we are instinctively driven to the rough natural surroundings that were home to our ancestors for centuries. I was lucky enough to be born and raised in Armenia, which provided an easy access to the pristine and breathtaking environment of Dilijan, a town in the north of the country. Although I visited Dijlan when I was at school, it was during my revisit there at a mature age that I appreciated the real majesty of the place. As I emerged from a long tunnel, the only passage to Dilijan, I found myself in a completely different world with its own atmosphere. A world, where the everlasting fog forever perches on

  CPE Essay: E-waste and global pollution Picture credit:  https://www.financialexpress.com/business/industry-war-on-e-waste-44-7-million-mt-e-waste-generated-in-2016-says-report-1200134/ Task: Summarise the key points of the two input texts and evaluate them adding your ideas. It has been estimated that global pollution is growing at an exponential speed as technological advancements yield more and more products to the market. While measures are being taken to alleviate the ecological impact of the pollution crisis, they seem to fail to cope with the rate at which garbage, including e-waste, is discarded, becoming an increasingly alarming issue. It is true that some authorities and citizens are doing their fair share to reduce pollution. By introducing effective recycling and garbage disposal schemes, they are repurpose or upcycle old stuff, making our world a cleaner place. But as more products are consumed, and more hazardous waste discarded, these efforts seem far not enough to dea

 CPE Essay: Social behaviour vs. individual expression Centuries ago humans lived in tribes, conforming to their group norms. Anyone not doing so was alienated by the crowd, being doomed to death. Times have changed, and people have evolved to express themselves in the most creative of ways. But how far is self-expression celebrated presently? It seems that individual behavior is not always welcomed by others. This is especially true for cross-generational misunderstandings in some cultures. For example, while young people consider it a norm to use mobile gadgets in transport, the elderly may not think that way. I believe the key to addressing generation gap issues is to acknowledge different conventions of behaviour. But misunderstandings can arise even among peers when teens, for example, adopt unconventional looks to stand out from the crowd. This can raise eyebrows among their friends, let alone those who are much older than them. On the other hand, if we do not express ourselves f

 CAE Report: Orientation week I know the pic is hideous. I just choose to create pics on free AI pic generators rather than steal them.:) The objective of this report is to outline some positive experiences and drawbacks of the freshman week of the faculty of linguistics in Dexter’s College in London and suggest improvements. Positive events During the week, the freshmen were given a campus tour to familiarize themselves with its precincts, which will help them easily navigate their surroundings and avoid being late for classes. Also, codes of behaviour were spelled out with their repercussions in cases of failure to conform to them. Finally, emergency action plans were discussed wherefore the freshmen signed contracts including insurance policy for health coverage. These measures will definitely help students better acclimatize to the campus environment and feel secure. Encountered issues A major omission was the absence of information about the course curriculum. Students had

 CPE Essay: Apprienticeship Programs Source: Upstream: C2 Student's Book by V. Evans and J. Dooley, 2nd edn., p. 163. Recent years have seen a rise in apprenticeship programs as modern challenges of economy require adaptation to employment demands. Both texts discuss the value of such programs for trainees. The first author outlines the benefits young people will gain in vocational training. Firstly, adolescents will gain deep theoretical knowledge of their trade in classroom instruction. Secondly, they will be awarded certificates as a proof of their abilities, which, I reckon, will deem them competitive candidates in the eyes of their future employers. Lastly, being paid for working while learning, young people will not have to look for a side job, but concentrate all their energy on training. I believe that by seeing the work from inside, young people will have a clear perspective of how well they are fitted for a trade, and companies will have an opportunity to train apprentic
