Identity Card: 26.715.950
TASK 1: Insert an attractive headline in these short articles. Use words from the articles. Try use Noun Phrases. (30 points)
	1. The pandemic changed the way of life chosen by young professionals
	2. Commotion in Russia at the closure of the human rights group Memorial
	3. Brazilian atmospheric chemistry warns about the situation of the Amazon: "It emits more carbon than it absorbs" 
	4. China and the United States announce initiative for joint climate action
	The global pandemic has made many of us think twice about how and where we choose to live, study and travel. This is especially true of younger professionals. With newer travel trends like ‘workations’ and growing global opportunities for remote working, more and more young professionals are seeking a “digital nomad” lifestyle – often in urban areas – that neatly balances work and financial flexibility, with travel and leisure. 
	Russia's move to shut down the country's top human rights group Memorial shows that the Kremlin has taken a "sharp" dictatorial turn, one of its founding members told AFP. Prosecutors last week filed a demand to dissolve the group over legal violations, sending shock waves across Russia's rights circles. Memorial is the country's oldest rights group, founded in the twilight of the Soviet Union in 1989 by a group including Nobel peace laureate and famed dissident Andrei Sakharov.
	Holed up in her lab, Brazilian atmospheric chemist Luciana Gatti crunches her numbers again and again, thinking there is a mistake. But the same bleak conclusion keeps popping up on her screen: the Amazon, the world's biggest rainforest – the "lungs of the Earth," the "green ocean," the thing humanity is counting on to inhale our pollution and save us from the mess we've made of the planet – is now emitting more carbon than it absorbs.
	China and the United States on Wednesday announced a rare joint initiative to deliver enhanced climate action, Beijing's longtime climate envoy told the COP26 summit. "Both sides recognise that there is a gap between the current effort and the Paris Agreement goals so we will jointly strengthen climate action," Xie Zhenhua told reporters in a surprise announcement. China and US are the two largest emitters in the world and together account for nearly 40 percent of all carbon pollution. 
TASK 2: Produce a good version in Spanish of the mini-articles above. (20 points)
	1. La pandemia cambió la forma de vida elegida por los jóvenes profesionales.
	2. Conmoción en Rusia por el cierre del grupo de derechos humanos Memorial
	3. Química atmosférica brasileña advierte sobre la situación del Amazonas: “Emite más carbono del que absorbe”
	4. China y los Estados Unidos anuncian una iniciativa para acción climática conjunta
	La pandemia global ha hecho que muchos de nosotros pensemos dos veces cómo y dónde queremos vivir, estudiar y viajar. Esto es especialmente cierto en los jóvenes profesionales. Con las nuevas tendencias de viajes, como las "trabajaciones" y las crecientes oportunidades mundiales para el trabajo a distancia, cada vez más profesionales jóvenes buscan un estilo de vida "nómada digital" – frecuentemente en las áreas urbanas – que equilibre el trabajo y la flexibilidad financiera, con los viajes y el descanso.
	 La decisión de Rusia de cerrar Memorial, el principal grupo de derechos humanos del país, muestra que el Kremlin ha dado un giro dictatorial "brusco", dijo a la AFP uno de sus miembros fundadores. La semana pasada, los fiscales presentaron una demanda para disolver el grupo por violaciones legales, lo que provocó conmociones en los círculos de derechos de Rusia. Memorial es el grupo de derechos humanos más antiguo del país, fundado en el ocaso de la Unión Soviética en 1989 por un grupo que incluía al premio Nobel de la Paz y famoso disidente Andrei Sakharov.
	Encerrada en su laboratorio, la química atmosférica brasileña Luciana Gatti analiza sus números una y otra vez, pensando que hay un error. Pero la misma conclusión sombría sigue apareciendo en su pantalla: el Amazonas - la selva tropical más grande del mundo, el "pulmón de la Tierra", el "océano verde", aquello con lo que la humanidad cuenta para inhalar nuestra contaminación y salvarnos del desastre que hemos hecho del planeta - ahora está emitiendo más carbono del que absorbe.
	China y Estados Unidos anunciaron el miércoles una rara iniciativa conjunta para llevar a cabo una acción climática mejorada, dijo en la cumbre COP26 el enviado climático de larga data de Beijing. "Ambas partes reconocen que existe una brecha entre el esfuerzo actual y los objetivos del Acuerdo de París, por lo que fortaleceremos conjuntamente la acción climática", dijo Xie Zhenhua a los periodistas en un anuncio sorpresa. China y EE. UU. son los dos más grandes emisores de carbono del mundo y juntos representan casi el 40% de toda la contaminación por carbono.
TASK 3: The 4 articles have not been finished. Produce the final paragraph of the 4 articles in English. Be brief. (50 points)
Hoja de examen
1. In this sense, there are many young talents who changed jobs in search of not returning to the situation prior to the pandemic. More flexible hours, more work from home and for objectives seem to be the main drivers of this new post-pandemic work era.
2. The concern about the closure of this public entity moves and alerts society, which fears the return of dark policies already left in the past. Statements from the main leaders of the country are expected to carry out a future analysis.
3. Luciana Gatti does not leave her astonishment at the current climate crisis and the agony of a resource as fundamental as the Amazon to balance the damage caused by man in the environment. She will be received by President Bolsonaro tomorrow to provide details of her investigation and propose a climate emergency plan.
4. This surprising announcement highlights the climate over the political, and leaving aside the differences between the two world powers. It would be a relief for the planet to have similar measures from other countries that prioritize - such as the US and China, in this case - the health of the ecosystem.
