The discovery of fire

A legend from Tierra del Fuego (South America) In Tierra del Fuego it is told that once there lived two good spirits, the brothers Ioalox. One day, the elder one found some stones, which he repeatedly beat against each other. One of these stones was a flintstone. And when he was playing with it a spark arose suddenly. Ioalox was surprised and tried again. Then he took a handful of dry feathers and dropped the spark on them. There was a flame. So he gathered dry grasses and woods, and put them on the flame: He had discovered the fire. He cried happily, “This is a great gift, I will make sure that the fire will always burn without ever dying down.” But the younger Ioalox had other plans: “It is better if people have to toil for the fire and they must earn it in a hardway - otherwise they will get too comfortable. The one who extinguishes the fire, should light the fire himself again.” Said it and put out the fire.

Read the text about Brazil’s mean Mathematics performance in PISA and complete the sentences with the comparative form of the adjectives given in the box.

Brazil’s mean Mathematics performance

Students in Brazil score 391 points in mathematics, on average – below the OECD average and comparable with Albania, Argentina, Jordan and Tunisia. Among Latin American countries, Brazil performs below Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and Costa Rica, but above Colombia and Peru. Brazil’s mean performance has improved since 2003 from 356 to 391 score points, showing an annualised change of 4.1 score points. Figures accounting for social and demographic changes between 2003 and 2012 show that this improvement in mathematics performance results, for about half, from improvements in the economic, social and cultural status of the student population.

2. Teaching Maths practices in Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and Costa Rica seem to be more efficient than those in Brazil.

3. The social, cultural and economic status of the student population in 2003 was worse than the social, cultural and economic status of the student population in 2012.

4. Improvements in the economic, social and cultural status in the student population means that there is a larger percentage of students who live in good conditions in Brazil in 2012 than in Brazil in 2003.

5. Education in Colombia and Peru is farther from good results in PISA than education in Brazil.

6. Well-fed students are easier to teach than students who are hungry.
