Trang 3Multi-country monkeypox outbreak in non-endemic countries
21 May 2022
Since 13 May 2022, cases of monkeypox have been reported to WHO from 12 Member
States that are not endemic for monkeypox virus, across three WHO regions Epidemiological investigations are ongoing, however, reported cases thus far have no established travel links to endemic areas Based on currently available information, cases have mainly but not exclusively
been identified amongst men who have sex with men (MSM) seeking care in primary care and sexual health clinics
The objective of this Disease Outbreak News is to raise awareness, inform readiness and response efforts, and provide technical guidance for immediate recommended actions.
The situation is evolving and WHO expects there will be more cases of monkeypox identified
as surveillance expands in non-endemic countries Immediate actions focus on informing those
who may be most at risk for monkeypox infection with accurate information, in order to stop
further spread Current available evidence suggests that those who are most at risk are those who have had close physical contact with someone with monkeypox, while they are
symptomatic WHO is also working to provide guidance to protect frontline health care providers and other health workers who may be at risk such as cleaners WHO will be providing
more technical recommendations in the coming days

Assistant 1: Rawlings Insurance Good morning Can I help you?
Elisabeth: Oh, hello I'm ringing to report an accident.
Assistant 1: A car accident?
Elisabeth: Yes.
Assistant 1: Just hold the line a moment please I'm putting you through to our motor insurance
department
Assistant 2: Hello?
Elisabeth: Hello.
Assistant 2: I understand you want to report an accident?
Elisabeth: Yes My car's been damaged - someone came out in front of me
Assistant 2: Could I just check a few personal details before we go any further?
Assistant: Oh yes, sorry.
Assistant 2: Your name, first of all.
Elisabeth: It's ELISABETH Ricard.
Assistant 2: Is that R-I-K-A-R-D?
Elisabeth: It's spelt with a C not a K.
Assistant 2: Oh, OK And your date of birth please?
Elisabeth: It's the eighth of October, 1975.
Assistant 2: And lastly, I just need to check your address.
Elisabeth: Oh, actually I moved house last month so the street name's different It's 60 Forest Road I think you've got 22 Ash Avenue on your records?
Assistant 2: I have So, I'll just make a note of that That's fine And is that in the same town
still? Callington?
Elisabeth: That's right.
Assistant 2: Right, now do you have your insurance policy in front of you?
Elisabeth: Yes, I do.
Assistant 2: Can you give me the policy number please? It's at the top.
Elisabeth: Oh yes Five-oh-nine-two-four?
Trang 6Assistant 2: It's in a box - it should start with letters
Elisabeth: Oh, C-Z- double eight-oh-nine?
Assistant 2: That's the one And now I want to ask you about the accident itself Is that OK? Elisabeth: Yes, that's fine.
Assistant 2: First of all, did it happen today?
Elisabeth: No, it happened yesterday evening, but by the time I got home it was late, so I didn't
call
Assistant 2: That's not a problem So let's see today's the thirteenth of September, so it
happened on the twelfth Is that right?
Elisabeth: It is.
Assistant 2: Do you know approximately what time the accident occurred?
Elisabeth: Er oh dear I wasn't wearing a watch, and I was a bit shocked But I'd say it was
between 8.15 and 8.45
Assistant 2: That's OK I'll just record that it happened at about 8.30 It doesn't matter exactly
And I don't suppose you've got any supporting evidence have you? I mean witness statements, that kind of thing?

at the time of the accident

twenty-four hours if possible
Elisabeth: Yes, OK I'll make an appointment today.
Assistant 2: Fine And now, can you tell me what happened exactly? I'm going to make a few
notes
Part II.
Teacher: Good morning, class
Trang 7Students’ voices: Morning, miss / Morning
Teacher: So, today we’re going to carry on with what we were talking about last class which
are the advantages of doing sport on a regular basis Let’s start by seeing how much you remember about the benefits of sport I’m going to ask you some questions and in your groups I’d like you to answer them OK, so the first question is, can you remember three of the specific physical benefits sport offers to the human body that we discussed last class? OK, Group B What do you think?
Group B spokesperson: Um, well we’ve got two
Teacher: OK, let’s hear them
Group B spokesperson: We think that doing sport reduces high blood pressure and the chance
of getting diabetes
Teacher: Absolutely OK, does anyone have any other advantages? Yes, Group D?
Group D spokesperson: Yeah, sport is good for your bones
Teacher: That’s right It strengthens our bones, particularly while we are still growing OK, we
also discussed that sport can be good for our minds too because of the chemicals that our brains release when we exercise Can anyone remember the name of these chemicals and how they make us feel? Mmm, Group A?
Group A spokesperson: Are they called euphoria?
Teacher: Not exactly Anyone else? OK, Group B again
Group B spokesperson: Endorphins and they make you feel euphoric or really happy
Teacher: That’s right So sport can help us feel happy and put us in a good mood because of
these chemicals that are present in our bodies when we exercise It also improves our capacity to concentrate, which is why doing PE at school can actually help you do better in exams OK, so that was basically what we covered last week and what we’re going to move on to today is thinking about whether it’s better for us to take part in individual or team sports So let’s have a quick show of hands to see what you think Those who think it’s better for us to do individual sports put up your hands OK, thank you And now those who think it’s better to do a team sport? OK Well, there are certain advantages to both individual and team sports, but, in my opinion, the benefits of team sport do seem to outweigh those of individual sport Can you shout out a couple of examples of individual sports?
Trang 8Group C spokesperson: Yeah, like, karate or swimming?
Group D spokesperson: And tennis
Teacher: GooD Well, you won’t be surprised to hear that in order to succeed in individual sport
we need to have a fair amount of self-discipline to motivate ourselves, which is easier said than done for some people However, with regular practice, it may be easier to see progress Also, it’s worth pointing out that our individual successes and failures are completely down to the individual, no one else OK, I’d like you to have a think in your groups about the possible
advantages of doing sport as part of a team as opposed to by yourself OK, Group C What have
you come up with?
Group C spokesperson: Well, we were saying that it might be, like, easier to be more
motivated to actually do a sport if you’re in a team because you, like, you don’t want to let anyone down, so you, like, always turn up for sports practice, you know, so you are sort of more committed to doing the sport
Teacher: That’s a very good point Yes, being a team member certainly helps people feel motivated and make an effort to turn up and play on a regular basis Well done, Group C Any
other ideas? Group D?
Group D spokesperson: Err, because it’s boring doing sport by yourself and it’s more fun if
you’re with your mates
Teacher: Absolutely! And the sense of being involved and belonging to a group is very positive
for most people Some experts actually believe that belonging to a group or a team makes us less likely to suffer from depression, as members develop positive bonds between them And there are other benefits too When you work as part of a team you are learning to work together and rely on each other Everyone is responsible for the success of the team, so there’s less pressure on an individual and consequently it’s less stressful And finally, can you think of any skills you develop when you work as part of a team? Group A?
Group A spokesperson: Well, you need communication skills to talk to everyone on the team Teacher: Yes, very good, Group A Any more? Group C?
Group C spokesperson: Err … could it be, like, negotiation skills?
Teacher: Yes, you need to communicate and negotiate with your fellow teammates You also
develop trust as you work together with others to achieve a common aim or goal, and all these
Trang 9skills are ones that come in handy in other areas of your life as well as in sport So you can see that there are many all-round benefits to being in a team However, perhaps, at the end of the day, the most important point is that you choose a sport you actually like, regardless of whether it’s an individual or team sport
Part III.
Interviewer: I gather these drama courses which you are attending have really given you a new lease of life Jennifer, can you try and explain the fascination you derive from a hard three-hour session at the college after a full day’s work?
Jennifer: Above all, each session is fun, it energizes me I actually go home with more energy
on a Tuesday than any other day of the week The reason is simple, I feel alive after the drama classes At first I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the course; you have to relate to the others in the group In fact most of the work is in small groups or at least in pairs and obviously the natural barriers between strangers exist I can honestly say that from the first evening this did not bother me
[1], and I’m not an extrovert by nature In fact, if anything, I’m rather shy and reserved Interviewer: And what about you, Harry?
Harry: Well, as far as I’m concerned, drama classes have freed me, they’ve allowed me to be creative and successful in so many ways that I’m not, usually I particularly enjoy the sessions when we just create something out of nothing, we improvise There is usually some time in the evening when we make up either a character or a conversation or a situation and act that out with the others The spontaneous nature of improvisation is what’s so appealing to me [2] Jennifer: You can’t ‘get it wrong’, you’re having a go, that’s all I mean you just stand up and become another person for five minutes; perhaps you’re like yourself or totally different, that doesn’t matter What counts is that you take on a new personality, and you actually become that person And, since you invent the part, you can’t be out of character and it’s impossible to make mistakes [3] I expect this will change when we move onto text, won’t it, Harry? Harry: Yes, yes, I’m really looking forward to using text in the classes and even to learning lines I just find some text fascinating and can’t wait to really work on it Of course it will be different from improvisation, where we make up the parts we play, but I know you can lose yourself in a part, and playing it your way is going to be the challenge
Trang 10Jennifer: Obviously, a specific part will be open to interpretation and a director may want you to
do it in a certain way [4] Imagine playing a Shakespearean hero or heroine, well, there are bound to be different ways of saying those famous lines and the actor or actress may not agree with the director, but this is a stage we haven’t reached yet For the moment, it’s about overcoming self-consciousness and learning to be sensitive Last week we had a new person
in the group and it became really clear that he hadn’t tuned in to the way in which the classes work, you know, it was embarrassing really, he overdid it and tried to dominate the group, he didn’t wait and watch and listen This was when it struck me that we’ve been learning to listen
to each other and to respond accordingly ; and of course you bring yourself into it, but not too much and not too inappropriately
Harry: I couldn’t agree more He actually asked me personal questions which were intrusive and could have been saved for the tea break I found it off the point and distracting Well, I suppose
he felt awkward too, but if I’ve learned anything this term, it’s not to jump in, but to take my time and allow the others time by being patient when they are struggling with, for example, creating an unfamiliar character The group has to develop together and the newcomer was an outsider [5] I guess it wasn’t his fault, but he didn’t seem interested in learning from the
Jennifer: I’d be surprised if he came again He didn’t look comfortable Interviewer: Would you say this receptiveness to each other is the key lesson so far, Jennifer?

The artificial dyes (1) used to make clothing are efficient and cheap They`re commonly seen in fast fashion, in expensive and trendy (2) clothes worn for a season or two
But it takes a lot of water to process these dyes It greats a lot of waste and it can lead to
chemicals seeping (3) into the environment Are bacteria colored clothes a viable alternative?
NATSAI AUDREY CHIEZA, DESIGN RESEARCHER: What happens when you take a
designer and place them in a biological scientific environment , that`s when you get a new way
of thinking that can catalyze innovation Bacteria produced pigment (4) I became very
interested with microbes that seep out because that seemed like a very low tech way of actually accessing that color Streptomyces coelicolor`s an organism that`s normally found in the soil
