「Mosquitoes- 遺伝子組み換え蚊」

フロリダの科学者は、7億5000万匹の遺伝子組み換え蚊を野生に放流

フロリダの科学者は、7億5000万匹の遺伝子組み換え蚊を野生に放流します。 その目的は、ジカウイルス、黄熱病、デング熱などの病気にかかっている既存の蚊の数を減らすことです。 計画は来年フロリダのキーで蚊を解放することです。
これはフロリダの南端の南170kmに広がる熱帯の島々の長い鎖です。

Scientists in Florida will release 750 million genetically modified mosquitoes into the wild. The aim is to reduce the number of existing mosquitoes that have diseases like Zika virus, yellow fever and dengue fever. The plan is to release the mosquitoes next year in the Florida Keys. This is a long chain of tropical islands stretching 170km south of the southern tip of Florida. The modified mosquitoes are all male. They carry a protein that will kill off any female offspring before they reach biting age. It is only female mosquitoes that feed on blood and bite humans.

▮質問 1

What color represents you personality?

サンプル回答

I personally think the color purple would fit my personality I’m not well versed with color psychology, but I think purple stands for something mystical or a mystery It’s also my favorite color, so I might be a little biased here Anyhow, I often come off as snobbish, but that’s really me being shy and just keeping to myself I’m not comfortable telling my life to others and not really into sharing my secrets unless you’re a close friend that I rely on I don’t also have a large peer group so there are only a few people that know me I guess the mystical side of the color purple is really a good representation of my personality Also,I think the color blue also suits me too, since I’m really calm most of the time And when I look at the color blue, a sense of calmness usually goes through me

▮質問 1

Are you fond of going to museum?

サンプル回答

Yes, I’m fond of going to museums. I’d rather visit a museum than go to the mall or the beach. I have never been that good in art. I can’t paint or draw. But I am proud to say that I do take good photos, and I believe that’s still art. The headteacher in my high school saw my

potential and made me join a contest. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t even appreciate my talent. Although I have to admit, I have to brush up my camera skills since I haven’t taken photos in so long. Anyway, I have only been to a few museums–just local ones. Although it is my dream to visit Louvre in Paris and Guggenheim in Spain. They have amazing artworks done by amazing artists. I’m mostly a fan of abstract and surrealist paintings. Among my favorite artists were Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. You can look at their paintings and be mesmerized for hours. I do wish I can visit a museum with their artworks. That would be such a dream come true.

▮質問 2

Describe a painting that you admire.

You should say:

• what the painting is

• who painted the art

• where it is

• And what you think make it

special.

サンプル回答

One of the paintings that I admire was Girl Before a Mirror, which was painted by

Pablo Picasso–one of my favorite artists of all time. I remember seeing

it on an encyclopedia when I was still a kid. I was instantly drawn by the

colors, and the way it was painted. It wasn’t like the realistic paintings from the Renaissance era. It was almost cartoonish. I’m not so good at explaining painting techniques since I’m not a painter myself, but I can say that the painting is a play on humanity’s vanity–that our

reflections are different from what we perceive ourselves to be. Well, that’s my take on it. If it were true, I can’t help but remember the beauty community online and how so many

influencers brush off their true personalities and create a persona that everyone will love. I’m not generalizing, it has become prevalent and even people in the community itself admit it. I do love makeup myself and think that it’s also a form of art, but I think many have forgotten that. Anyway, I think Girl Before a Mirror is such a special painting not just because it’s one of  Picasso’s most famous works but also because it’s still relevant decades after it has been made.

「Exam Results-成績評価制度を撤回」

【英国】英、大学の成績評価制度を撤回　アルゴリズムの矛盾に非難殺到

新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大を受け中止された一般教育修了上級レベル（Ａレベル）試験に替わり導入されたアルゴリズムによる成績評価システムが、公立校を中心に多数の生徒の成績を不当に引き下げているとして批判が高まっていた問題で、政府は17日、このシステムを撤回し、教師による予想成績を最終資格として認めると発表した。

ただ、既に大学が合否を発表した後でのＵターンだけに、教育現場ではなお混乱が続いている。ウィリアムソン教育相は謝罪したものの、辞任を求める声も上がっている。

このアルゴリズムは、教師の予想成績を元に、各生徒の学校内での成績順位や各校の過去３年の実績を加味して調整するもの。全体の成績が例年より過度に上昇することを避ける狙いがあったが、結果的に全生徒の約40％の成績が引き下げられ、多数の生徒が教師の予想成績に基づき仮合格通知を受けていた大学に不合格となった。

The United Kingdom has made a U-turn over the system it used to award exam grades for students hoping to attend university. The government had decided on using a controversial algorithm to determine the grades of students who were unable to take exams due to COVID-19. The algorithm gave students results that were a grade or two lower than the results predicted by teachers.

▮質問 1

Are you fluent with another language　except your native tongue?

サンプル回答

Yes, I’m fluent in English.　 But besides my native tongue, that’s really it.
I would love to learn another language　though. Anyway, I think I did the right thing in　learning English, first. I can now communicate　with more people, especially online. I can　finally speak for myself without using translation tools online, especially after　 finding out they don’t really do the job well.　 Also, I can also understand more songs from American singers. I’m a huge fan of music, so　finally understanding the lyrics to my favorite　 songs and finding more that speaks to me is　an incredible feeling. I can also watch　Hollywood films now without subtitles. It’s
such a big deal for me because I love movies,　 but I can’t focus on what’s happening in the　film when I’m busy reading the subtitles. So, learning English finally made it easier for me to watch and understand what’s　happening　while knowing what the actors are doing. It’s　kind of a liberating feeling. I didn’t know　learning another language and being fluent in　it can bring such strong emotion.

▮質問 2

Describe the language that you’d like to study. You should say:

• what language it is

• what countries it is used

• how you can study it

• and why you would to study

the language.

サンプル回答

I would love to learn French. I think it’s such a sophisticated language. I often watch videos online of French people speaking their language, and it
seems fun. I love the accent as well. The way they pronounce the words has a romantic vibe to it. I’d also want to learn it, since me and my best friend want to visit France soon. And we would love to speak with the natives. I think many of them aren’t comfortable in English as
well. I know language shouldn’t be a barrier, but it can be tough to visit a
faraway place without knowing even just a few words in their language.
I’ve already seen an online course that teaches basic French, but I’m still
focusing on perfecting my English, so it’ll have to wait. Plus, I also have a
friend who is learning French as well. She’s already an intermediate
speaker, and she has agreed to teach me in the future. In the meantime, I
bought a ‘How to Learn French’ textbook as well as a French dictionary. I tried pronouncing the words with my friend, and she told me to speak up, but when I did, she started laughing so hard. Turns out I’ve been pronouncing every word wrong. Well, I guess French will be hard to learn, but I’m still willing to try it out.
