Microplastics found in human heart for first time (Микропластик впервые был найден в сердце человека)

Уровень: pre-intermediate
Tip: Сперва прочтите текст целиком и постарайтесь понять общий контекст.

Many of us know that plastic harms the environment. Fewer people know about the threat from the microplastics. Researchers have found microplastics in the human heart. Scientists in China collected tissue samples from heart surgery patients. There were tiny pieces of plastic in the tissue. They included a plastic commonly used in an alternative to glass, a polythene used in clothing and food containers, and a material used in building.

The scientists found thousands of microplastic pieces in the heart tissue. Chemicals from these are released into the body, which can lead to allergic reactions, cancer, and other problems. The average person consumes around 52,000 pieces a year. Microplastics make up 39 per cent of dust particles in our homes. They are almost impossible to remove from the body. It is critical to limit the amount of plastic we ingest.

harms the environment — вредит окружающей среде
threat — угроза
tissue samples — образцы тканей
tiny pieces — крошечные кусочки
commonly used — широко используются
release — выпускать
lead to — приводить к
dust particles — частицы пыли
ingest — поглощать, глотать

Japan releases Fukushima water into the ocean ☢️
(News is dated 24th August 2023)

Japan has started releasing radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean. The plant was hit by a huge earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. After the power plant was damaged, the power company stored radioactive water in 1,000 giant tanks. The water has been treated to reduce its radioactivity. It is now being slowly released into the Pacific Ocean through a long sea tunnel. Japan stated that the water is safe and would not harm the environment. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the water meets with international safety standards. It said there would be a "negligible radiological impact on people and the environment".

Many people in Japan, as well as countries near Japan, are angry that radioactive water is going into the Pacific. Local fishermen are worried they will not be able to sell their fish. China has already banned seafood from Fukushima and the capital city, Tokyo. China's foreign ministry called the release of the water a "wrongful decision" and asked Japan to stop. A spokesperson said: "Japan is putting its own self-interest over the long-term well-being of all humankind". Hong Kong is also worried about food safety. It said it would "immediately" stop importing some Japanese food products. South Korean activists have also protested, although Seoul understood that the water meets international standards.

release water — спускать воду
nuclear power plant — атомная электростанция
hit by earthquake — пострадать от землетрясения
store water — хранить воду
giant tanks — гигантские цистерны
has been treated — была обработана
meet with standards — соответствовать стандартам
negligible radiological impact — незначительное радиологическое воздействие
as well as — так же, как / равно как
spokesperson — представитель
long-term well-being of all humankind — благосостояние всего человечества в долгосроке
immediately stop — немедленно остановиться

Discussion. How will artificial intelligence impact our lives in the future compared to its impact now?

It’s expected that the impact of artificial intelligence will continue to grow in the future. We might see more advanced autonomous systems, from self-driving cars to drones for delivery. AI could also play a larger role in healthcare, potentially leading to breakthroughs in disease diagnosis and treatment. However, as AI becomes more integrated into our lives, it’s also likely that we’ll need to navigate new challenges, such as ensuring AI systems are fair and transparent, and managing issues related to job displacement and privacy.

impact — влияние
artificial intelligence — искусственный интеллект
advanced autonomous systems — продвинутые автономные системы
self-driving cars — самоуправляемые машины
drones for delivery — дроны для доставки
healthcare — здравоохранение
lead to — привести к
breakthrough — прорыв
challenge — трудноразрешимая задача
job displacement — сокращение рабочих мест

How do you feel about artificial intelligence? ✍🏻👇🏻

Fatigue and sleeplessness are on the rise (Упадок сил и бессонница на подъеме) 📰
(News is dated 6th November 2023)

In today's hectic world, we experience tiredness and fatigue. There is an increase in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) – a disorder that makes us feel fatigued. It does not go away even if we rest. A sleep specialist said our lives are full of "constant connectivity, high stress and inadequate sleep". Furthermore, a nutritionist said people with CFS suffer from a lack of energy that affects their daily life. There is no cure for CFS, but a good diet helps to manage symptoms.

A specialist in preventative medicine said we can deal with fatigue and a lack of sleep in three steps. Step one is to turn off lights. Light keeps our brain active, especially blue light from phones. The second step is to keep a room temperature at 19ºC. A cool room helps to reduce body temperature, which helps sleep. The final step is to reduce noise. As for food, a life coach recommended we eat bananas to help us get a better night's rest.

hectic — беспокойный
fatigue — упадок сил
disorder — расстройство
connectivity — взаимодействие
lack of (smth) — нехватка (чего-то)
preventative medicine — профилактическая медицина

ExcitING или excitED? 🤔
На разговорных занятиях часто подмечаю путаницу в выборе окончания -ED и -ING у прилагательных, разберемся!

📌Прилагательное с -ED используется для описания чувств, состояний, чем-то вызванных; то есть действие направлено на вас, предмет:
I'm bored at parties. — Мне скучно на вечеринках.
He's interested in IT. — Он заинтересован в IT
.
They were excited to be alive
. — Они были радостны от того, что живы.

📌Прилагательное с -ING обычно описывает качество предмета, то есть предмет сам оказывает воздействие, является источником. Проследите разницу:
The party was boring. — Вечеринка была скучной.
IT is the most interesting area for students
. — IT - самое интересное направление для студентов.
Life is exciting if you look at it that way
. — Жизнь радостна, если смотреть на нее так.

📚Для закрепа, с вас по 1-2 примера с прилагательными с -ed и -ing в комментариях, а я проверю и отвечу! 🤲🏻

World population has passed 8 billion — Мировое население превысило 8 миллиардов (13th November 2023) 📰

Level: Intermediate

The world reached a worrying demographic milestone. The US Census Bureau said the population passed 8 billion in September. However, it said this was a rough guess. The exact time could be a month or two earlier. The world population will continue to grow steadily. It grew from 6 billion to 8 billion in the past two decades. The population doubled between 1960 and 2000. The rate of growth is slowing because of falling birth rates.

The slowdown in population growth is due to lower fertility rates. The Bureau said the population would be 10.2 billion in 2060. It said: "Population growth in the future will come from larger groups of people at adult ages." It added: "Population growth is the result of fertility, mortality and migration.…[Most] of the earth's population reside in countries where fertility is around or below the replacement level."

milestone — рубеж
rough guess — грубое предположение
grow steadily — расти стабильно
birth / fertility rates — уровень рождаемости
mortality — смертность
reside — проживать
replacement level — уровень воспроизводства (населения)
