Pasta and pizza were on everyone's lunch menu in my native land of Italy. Everyone who had such a lunch was fair-skinned and spoke Italian. A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. The food choices were almost as diverse as the students. In front of me was an array of foods I couldn't even name in my native language. Fearing that I would pick out something awful, I desperately tried to ask the boy ahead of me for a recommendation. Unfortunately, between us stood the barrier of language.
Although my kindergarten experience feels like a century ago, the lessons I learned will stick in my mind forever. For the past three summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New immigrants much like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our office seeking help. I often had to be an interpreter for the Italian-speaking ones. As I served the role of vital communication link, I was reminded of my desperate struggle to converse before I learned English. I watched with great sympathy as elderly Italians tried to hold a conversation in Italian with people who did not speak the language. It suddenly became very clear to me how lucky I was to be fluent in two languages.
In New York, a multicultural city, students like me are blessed with a chance to work with a diverse population. In my English to Italian translations, I've learned about social programs that I didn't know existed. This work expanded my mind in ways that are impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city's sounds and smells. Instead, enjoy its diversity.
For many of us, there's nothing better than burying our head in a good book. Whether it's a crime story or a biography of someone's amazing life, it's good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life and help us relax. Maybe that's why some of them are actually described as a therapy to sickness.
It may seem obvious that reading is good for us. It can be educational, and, as some say, it can ‘broaden the mind'. A good novel can make us happy or sad, or make us cry as we sympathize with characters. The power of books was recognized a few years ago by the British charity Reading Agency, who published a list of books that doctors could offer to patients, concerning topics from depression to chronic (慢性的)pain. It called this "bibliotherapy" and it's become so successful that it's about to be extended to children as well.
Professor Philip Davis studies the effects of literature and is author of a book called Reading for Life. He studied people in reading groups and found that it's reading literature — written works thought to have artistic value, that has the best effect. "When reading something for pleasure, the brain begins to work from different parts, from a different hemisphere and it gets excited, it gets pre-emotional — and you can see the brain coming to life." he said.
Of course, it's easy in our smartphone generation to desert a good book and play with our phones instead. But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help boost or maintain our mental health. It's thought they can help you set targets and find focus. And they may allow you to see that awkward situation you've been anxious about for weeks from someone else's perspective.
If you're not a keen reader it can be hard to know where to begin. If the Reading Agency book list doesn't appeal, you could read book reviews, visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend. Once you've found the right text, you'll be attracted! And if you still love your technology, you could always use an e-reader.
The current generation is not like any other generation I have seen in history. Due to the rise in technology the world is evolving fast and changing the way most of us do things. Today's young generation is so used to the technology which they learn very quickly. It could be considered as a benediction, but there are times when it is not appropriate.
In my generation, we met friends face to face to have real conversations rather than texting each other all the time. We walked everywhere, to the store or up the stairs instead of climbing into our car or on a motored skateboard each time we had to go two or three blocks away.
Most of the new generation expects things to be done for them. If something requires some extra effort or focus, they are easily discouraged. But if we want to reach success in this day and age, it is expected of us to work to achieve our dreams. The old generation knows that the world does not owe them squat. It understands that no one else than them can do it and that is their responsibility to make something of themselves.
Nowadays, there is no longer a sense of honor, because most people hide behind a computer screen. When you handle issues or hate for no reason over social media, it just proves that you are a weak person. I just put an advertisement in one of my groups for teaching Kung Fu, and one hater wrote "Kung Fu clown." And this is for no reason as I have never seen or met the guy before.
The new generation relies too much on social media for their lives and doing things. It is okay to use it but not to abuse it. My final word is that each generation has its own advantages and downsides, but what matters is that each generation, old or new, has to give lessons which are valuable for future generations.
I don't believe artificial intelligence (AI) could replace my teaching career. I have always been interested in human connections and the ways in which I can use these connections to inspire change and make a difference. ， there are other ways where AI could make a more efficient and effective difference than I could on my own.
My teaching experiences over the past several years have been creative and inspiring. I believe that the job of educators extends beyond simply teaching students a set curriculum. , they must constantly reflect on ways to better their teaching, and they must inspire their students to be the best versions of themselves. And now with the help of AI, they could achieve these goals much easier.
. First, AI can be used to promote fundamental skills, such as mathematical education and vocabulary lessons. Additionally, I see AI being used for such necessary tasks as answering questions and grading assignments. Thus, I could focus my attention on establishing human connections, individualizing lesson plans and inspiring my students.
. I believe AI could provide a strong basis for educational equality around the world. According to Todd Leopold, close to 800 million people worldwide are functionally illiterate(不识字的). Due to its ability to efficiently pass knowledge across large groups of people fewer teachers may be needed in some schools. .
A. They must observe and get to know their students in order to individualize educational plans
B. Although human connections may never be able to be fully replaced by AI
C. The benefit AI brings is far beyond my own classroom
D. I think AI is a powerful assistant to my future classroom
E. Since students will always need a human teacher
F. The need for students to learn how to use AI will also grow
G. This could be an opportunity for students everywhere to receive equal education
Since retiring from football, David Beckham has been widely celebrated for his global giving, but it seems the former England captain hasn't forgot that charity 1 at home.
David, 47, was an unexpected 2 to lend a hand to a paramedic treating an elderly man who had 3 on a London Street on Monday.
Catherine Maynard, who works with the Cycle Response Unit, said that she had been waiting for an ambulance with her patient 4 a man who resembled the Manchester United great walked by.
"I was waiting with my patient for an ambulance to 5 him to hospital and although I was keeping him warm, it was very cold outside," she told the Evening Standard newspaper.
"All of a sudden, I looked up and 6 someone who looked like David Beckham walking past us. He said hello and got into his car 7 . I said to the man I was treating, ‘I think that was David Beckham.' A few moments later, he came back with a cup of 8for me and a tea for the patient. It was 9 cycling around in the cold today and I couldn't believe it when he came back with some hot drinks—I was so pleased," she 10 to the newspaper.
The father-of-four's actions were then 11 on the London Ambulance services Twitter with the organization thanking the star for his 12 and encouraging others by David's offering to buy their 13 crews a tea or coffee.
Never 14 the power of your action. With one small 15 , you may not only spread love, but also positively influence others' lives.
A penguin colony in Antarctica that's home to over 18,000 pairs of Adélie penguins suffered a massive breeding failure, with all but two of the babies starving to death when their parents (force) to travel further in search of food during this breeding season.
According to CNN, the World Wildlife Fund said unseasonably extensive amounts of sea ice around the colony forced the adult penguins to travel further (hunt) for food. The babies did not survive the parents' journeys. "This disastrous event contrasts with image that many people might have of penguins," (say) Rod Downie, Head of Polar Programs at WWF.
Downie continued: "The impact of this event is restricted to this specific colony of Adélie penguins, and predictions are the Antarctic will get (warm) and this may pose different (challenge) in the longer term."
Adélie penguins are (general) doing well in East Antarctica and there they mostly eat krill, a small shrimp like crustacean(甲壳纲动物). they are declining in the peninsula(半岛), where the effects of climate change are already being felt. In addition the climate change, the local penguin population is further threatened because of proposals to open the area to the krill fishing industry.

In early March of 2019, Michael J. Weirsky from Philipsburg, New Jersey, slopped at a QuickCheck gas station to purchase a lottery ticket. He had been out of work and had been applying for jobs for over a year at the time. Despite the fact that he had been unemployed and had failed to even get an interview, Weirsky continued his weekly routine of buying two lottery tickets for $ 20. So on the day before the lottery drawing, Weirsky walked into a local QuickCheck and purchased his tickets.
Yet immediately after Weirsky bought the tickets, he ended up losing them when he accidentally left the tickets on the counter. He had no idea he had just left his lottery tickets behind for he was busy with "the typical cell phone deal". Weirsky then left the gas station and drove home without even realizing he didn't have his tickets. When he got home, and realized the lottery tickets were missing, he looked everywhere for them for hours. When he failed to find anything, Weirsky decided to try going back to the QuickCheck to speak to the clerk and ask if anyone had found his missing lottery tickets. Incredibly, the clerk told Weirsky that someone had accidentally found and returned two tickets.
Before handing them back to Weirsky, however, the clerk asked him questions about what tickets he had purchased to make sure he really was the person who lost the two tickets. When everything matched up, she handed them back to the 54-year-old. Weirsky was very thankful that there was an honest person out there because he thought they were gone. Yet Weirsky forgot to check the winning numbers the next night as a snowstorm distracted him.
