2. PRESENTACION

Every English learner knows how to talk about general things of common topics. In this guide you will learn
about specific topics on history, education and general aspects of a city. Here you will be able to practice
and improve your grammar skills by doing some specific activities, don’t forget that the activities are
individual, and some answers are personal and shall not be similar to someone else’s.

In this guide we are going to work on present tenses, conditionals, vocabulary items related to
accommodation places and university facilities when visiting a foreign country as the UK. Normally we use
these verbal tenses to talk about non-real situations and real situations as routines, and repeated actions
as well as imaginary events.

3. READ THE FOLLOWING NEWS AND DEVELOP THE ACTIVITIES AS YOU DID IN YOUR INSTRUCTOR’S NEARPOD LESSON.

ENGINEERS SURPRISED BY THE POWER OF AN ELEPHANT’S TRUNK

Elephant trunks have many purposes. They can take tree branches. Or they can pick up
food. An elephant trunk is all muscle. It has two nostrils. But exactly how elephants use
their trunks to eat has always been a mystery, so scientists at the Georgia Institute of
Technology decided to find out. They looked inside an elephant's trunk. In June 2021,
they published their findings.

How the elephant uses its trunk?

Andrew Schulz’s a mechanical engineer and his team studied a wild African elephant.
Elephants absorb water into their trunks. Then they
spray the water
into their mouths to drink. But the scientists
found out that the trunk doesn't work like
a straw. To absorb water, an
elephant expands its trunk. This
lets the elephant store more
water inside its trunk.

Next, the team needed to see what

was happening inside the trunk. They
used an ultrasound machine. This machine
uses sound waves. It takes pictures of the
inside of the body. The pictures showed the nostrils
expanding. The team also found how fast water flows in the trunk: 1
gallon per second. The team also found how fast the trunk can inhale air: 30
times as fast as a human sneeze.

The scientists did other tests too. They gave the elephant cubes of vegetables. First, they
gave the elephant a few cubes. She picked them up with the tip of her trunk. Then they
gave the elephant a pile of cubes. The elephant switched to vacuum mode. Her nostrils
didn't expand, she breathed in deeply. She absorbed the food with her trunk. Then she
put the food in her mouth.

Scientists build robots based on trunks.

Elephant trunks are strong. They have no bones and joints. A joint is a place where two
bones meet. Trunks also have complex muscles. This makes them very flexible. And,
their movements can be very precise. Engineers have already built robots based on

trunks. This new research opens doors. Now, scientists can see how trunks take and
move objects. This may inspire even better robots in the future.

CROWS ARE SO CLEVER: THEY CAN PLAY, SOCIALIZE AND CLEAN UP

Many people just see crows as disgusting birds. They eat insects, dead animals,
and trash. But scientists say crows are smart and have many skills. They use tools
to solve problems. They remember human faces for years. They can also repeat
sounds that they hear. Crows live in large families. The birds communicate often.
They use many calls. Each call means something different. They have separate
warning calls for cats, hawks and people.

Marzluff a professor of wildlife science, who works at the

University of Washington ran experiments to see if wild crows
remember human faces. In one, he had researchers
wear masks. They captured seven crows. Later, they
released the crows. Afterward, they analyzed that the
crows did not react to most people. But the birds made
loud warning calls when they saw anyone with the
same mask. This even happened years later.

Crows Remember Kindness

Crows are very talented; they warn their babies about bad people. They also
remember nice people. They sometimes bring gifts as a thank you. Diva Crows is
a wildlife rescue group. It is in Virginia. It helps hurt songbirds. A songbird is a bird
that can make musical calls. A crow named Aurora lives at Diva Crows. She
cannot go back into the wild. Aurora loves to paint. She paints with brushes and
rollers.

THESE TINY CATERPILLARS CAN CLEAN UP OUR WORLD – BUT THERE'S A CON
We struggled with the problem of plastic every year. About 300 million tons of plastic are
trashed every year. That's about the weight of 800 Empire State Buildings. Now, a small
superhero may help with the problem. It is a specie of caterpillar called a waxworm.

Eats common plastics.

Researchers discovered the waxworm in 2017. It is able to eat common plastics.
Polyethylene is one. Polyethylene is a non-biodegradable type of plastic. It cannot
dissolve naturally. Polyethylene is the most commonly used
plastic around the world.
Now researchers have an explanation. The key is the micro-
organisms in the wax worm's body, they can dissolve plastics.
Micro-organisms are tiny living things. Bacteria are micro-organisms, for example. The
waxworm's micro-organisms help to destroy plastics.

Researchers studied the waxworm at Brandon University in Manitoba, Canada. They

found that waxworms can eat and destroy polyethylene at very high levels. Traditionally,
the caterpillars eat honeycomb. When the caterpillars ate the plastic, researchers found
many micro-organisms in the bugs' body.

Not the perfect solution

Still, waxworms are not the

bee populations. In turn,

Researchers will study the caterpillars' bacteria. They want to know what is inside. That
way it can be used to design better ways to solve the plastic usage problem.

NEW "EMOTIONAL" ROBOTS ARE MADE TO READ HUMAN FEELINGS

Forpheus is a robot that plays table tennis. It does a lot more than that, too. It can read
body movements. It can tell if its opponent is skilled. It can even give advice. The robot
tries to understand how you feel. It tries to predict your next move.

Making robots like humans

Robots do not need to look like humans to have empathy. Some robot makers have been
working on this, though. One such company is Blue Frog Robotics.
Jean-Michel Mourier works for them. Mourier said their robot is
smart. It will get mad if you poke him in the eye," Mourier said.

Other robots are a little different. They are being made to understand
and react to people's feelings.
SoftBank made a robot like this, called Pepper. It can tell if someone is
happy or angry, it uses this information to understand someone's
feelings.

Understanding how people think

Developing empathy in robots is a challenge. The first step is to be sure the robot can
see people and things around it. The second step is making software that lets it respond
to those things. Patrick Moorhead is a technology expert. He said that making robots is
not just about technology. It's also about understanding how people think.

Making robots with feelings

A company called Emoshape has a different idea. They are making a new computer chip.
It will allow robots to understand feelings in a similar way to humans. Most robot makers
are trying to get robots to understand people's feelings. Emoshape is switching things
around. It's making a chip to give robots their own feelings.

a. What do you think about robots reading people’s emotions?

I think that it is very interesting but at the same time dangerous, it would lead
further to the danger of the existence of humanity
b. You created a robot, what does your robot do?
I have not created a robot
c. What is your favourite AI film and why?
My favourite movie is finch, because tom hanks teaches a robot to take care of a
dog's life
