Everyday English Question 4

What's the difference between past tense and past participle tense?

Because last week I went to the table tennis game, I asked for a leave. Since that, I asked Angie to use her recording pen to record the whole class so that I can take the course by another way. But she didn't put the recording pen on the right position. It's not close enough so the files I listened are not clear at all. Another reason is the class next to us was so noisy. I'm now writing the homework given two weeks ago. On textbook page 12, part 9, It says that using past participle tense, but I think I can use the past passive tense. What the differences?

Everyday English Question 3

Are there any laws or regulations that you take issue with? Explain.

I don't agree the high school's Chinese class in Taiwan. Or, to be more exact, I don't understand why did we need to learn the classical Chinese. So far in my life, I haven't had a chance to say so esoteric language. In my three year's high school period, I try my best on it. And now, I almost can't remember anything about it. Why do we need to waste time on the language? If we abolish it, the world will be better...

Everyday English Question 2

Is there anything that you have seen or heard that you think is nonsense? Explain it to the class.

Yes, I have. Many of my friends like to play a game on the Facebook called Mafia. At first, I also join with them. Afterwards I think play Mafia is nonsense because you don't know why to do it. You just click and click every day. You waste your time and life, and finally you get nothing.

Everyday English Question 1

Q: How do you feel about cosmetic surgery?

In these days, more and more people like to do cosmetic surgery. It can make girl more pretty by suitable surgery. I think do it is not a bad thing. But there is different result, if some bad guys use it to crime or escape.

Missing DNA promotes childhood obesity

Some children get severely obese because they lack particular chunks of DNA, which kicks their hunger into overdrive, researchers report.

The British researchers checked the DNA of 300 children who'd become very fat, on the order of(大約) 100 kg by age 10. They looked for deletions or extra copies of DNA segments.

They found evidence that several rare deletions may promote obesity, including one kind they studied further and found in less than 1 per cent of about 1,200 severely obese children.

That deletion, on chromosome(染色體) 16, apparently causes trouble because it removes a gene that the brain needs to respond to the appetite-controlling hormone leptin(瘦素), said Sadaf Farooqi of Cambridge University.

In her study, children with a chromosome 16 DNA deletion 'have a very strong drive to eat', said Farooqi, who co-led the research.
