1. The article under consideration deals with the issues of influence of coronavirus.

The
headline of the article is " Covid-19 affects BAME youth mental health more than white
peers – study.". It`s taken from the Guardian and it’s written by Denis Campbell.
According to the article, Children of black, Asian and ethnic minority heritage are suffering
much worse damage to their mental health because of the pandemic than their white peers. The
higher risk of BAME people dying from Covid-19 and inability to attend school over the last
three months are behind large rises in anxiety and self-harm among non-white under-18s.
For instance, the number of BAME under-18s contacting Kooth with suicidal thoughts went up
by 26.6% over the same three months but by 18.1% among their white peers. It was the same
with incidents of self-harm, where the BAME and white groups studied had respective increases
of 29.5% and 24.9%.
The author drew our attention on fact that the higher risk of people of BAME origin contracting
and dying from Covid-19 was a key factor.
I believe that this article is really relevant for adolescents and young people, since the
coronavirus is a completely new disease and scientists still do not fully know how it can affect
the morale state of people. Therefore, the article was interesting.

2. The article under consideration deals with the issues of influence of politic. The headline of
the article is " The former vice president is the leader our nation needs now.". It`s taken from
the New York Times and it’s written by Damon Winter.
According to the article, Mr. Biden has an unusually rich grasp of and experience in foreign
policy, which, as traditionally understood, has not played a central role in the presidential race —
though the pandemic, the climate crisis, a more assertive China and disinformation wars against
the American public argue strongly that it should.
The author drew our attention on fact that Mr. Biden has the necessary chops, having spent
much of his career focused on global concerns. He not only took on thorny diplomatic missions
as vice president, he also served more than three decades on the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. Aware that an “America First” approach in reality amounts to “America alone,” he
would work to revive and refurbish damaged alliances. He has the respect and trust of America’s
allies and would not be played for a fool by its adversaries.
Certainly, not all of Mr. Biden’s foreign policy decisions through the decades look sage in
hindsight, but he has shown foresight in key moments.
I believe that this article is really relevant. In my opinion, he has the experience, temperament
and character to guide the nation through this valley into a brighter, more hopeful future.
3. The article under consideration deals with the issues of Environment. The headline of the
article is Barack Obama expresses support for Prince William's new project". It`s taken from
hellomagazine and it’s written by Diane Shipley.
According to the article, the ambitious new prize will see £50 million paid out over the next ten
years to projects which tackle some of the world's biggest environmental challenges.
Prince William discussed the Earthshot Prize alongside Sir David Attenborough in an interview
for BBC Radio 4's Today program. William felt that there's a lot of people wanting to do many
good things for the environment and what they need is a bit of a catalyst, a bit of hope, a bit of
positivity that we can actually fix what's being presented.
The author drew our attention on fact that the Earthshot Prize is really about harnessing that
optimism and that urgency to find solutions to some of the world’s greatest environmental
problems.
The first Earthshot Prizes will be presented in London in autumn 2021 and the BBC will screen a
five-part series ahead of the awards ceremony.
I believe that this article is really relevant. The article opens up new possibilities and tells about
a new way of protecting our environment.
4. The article under consideration deals with the issues of Mysteries. The headline of the article
is Mysteries Of Flight: The Curious Case Of Pan Am Flight 914". It`s taken from Plane &
Pilot.
According to the article, Pan Am Flight 914 was with 57 passengers and six crew members that
took off from a New York City airport headed for Miami, Florida. The date was July 2, 1955.
The flight was scheduled to last a couple of hours, but it never arrived in Miami. The pilot, for
his part, dropped a small calendar out the window before he made a hasty turn back to the
runway.
The story has been going around the internet for years and is a hot forum topic with the UFO and
time-traveling crowd. The most popular theory is that the plane passed through some kind of
time portal or wormhole, and instead of landing in Miami in 1955, it appeared on arrival in
Venezuela 30 years later.
But the Truth is that the story of Pan Am Flight 914 was a total fabrication. But in this case,
unlike with many urban legends, the source of that fabrication is known. The tale got a huge
boost when YouTube channel Bright Side put out a video about the disappearance. The snappily
produced video has gotten more than 15 million views.
In my opinion, the article was interesting. It all goes to show how fascinated people are by
airplanes, even when the story is concocted to create a paranormal sensation.
5. The article under consideration deals with the issues of medicine. The headline of the article
is “Essays reveal Stephen Hawking predicted race of 'superhumans'” It`s taken from The
Guardian and it’s written by Sarah Marsh.
According to the article, a new race of superhumans could develop from wealthy people
choosing to edit their and their children’s DNA.
Hawking, the author of A Brief History of Time, presented the possibility that genetic
engineering could create a new species of superhuman that could destroy the rest of humanity.
Hawking was sure that during this century, people would discover how to modify both
intelligence and instincts such as aggression.
The physicist suggested wealthy people would soon be able to choose to edit genetic makeup to
create superhumans with enhanced memory, disease resistance, intelligence and longevity.
Hawking raised the prospect that breakthroughs in genetics will make it attractive for people to
try to improve themselves, with implications for “unimproved humans”.
I believe that this article is really relevant. The article opens up new opportunities that may
become reality in the near future. I also agree with the author that once such superhumans
appear, there will be significant political problems with unimproved humans, who won’t be able
to compete.
6. The article under consideration deals with the issues of medicine. The headline of the article
is “Neural revolution': Royal Society calls for inquiry into new wave of brain implants” It`s
taken from The Guardian and it’s written by Ian Sample.
According to the article, society must prepare for a technological revolution in which brain
implants allow people to communicate by telepathy, download new skills, and brag about their
holidays in “neural postcards”.
Nowadays research into brain implants and other neural devices is advancing so fast that the
Royal Society has called for a “national investigation” into the technology.
The author drew our attention on fact that the new wave of devices will go beyond existing
products such as cochlear implant hearing aids and deep brain stimulators for people with
Parkinson’s disease, with gadgets that help the healthy. People could become telepathic to some
degree, able to converse not only without speaking but without words, through access to each
other’s thoughts at a conceptual level.
But with such new powers come new risks, the report adds. Expensive brain-boosting devices
may become luxury items in richer nations, leaving poorer countries behind. And with devices
plugged directly into the brain, people’s most intimate data could be used against them.
I believe that this article is really relevant. The article opens up new opportunities that may
become reality in the near future. I recon we need to think ahead about who will control this
data and what it might be used for, to guard against possible harmful uses as our experience with
social media has shown.
