요 며칠 봄비가 내리더니
날씨가 쌀쌀해진 것 같아요.
这几天下了春雨，天气好像变凉了。

밤에는 좀 추워서 
감기 걸리기 쉽겠어요.
晚上有点儿冷，容易感冒。

이런 날씨일수록 따뜻한 물도 많이 마시고,
옷도 여러 겹으로 따뜻하게 입어야 돼요.
越是这种天气，越要多喝热水，
衣服也要多穿几件，穿得暖和一些。

걱정해 줘서 고마워요.
谢谢你的挂念。

This episode gives students of English some advice about how to answer a common question type from Part 3 of the IELTS speaking test. Students will focus particularly on different forms of the "there is"/"there are" structure which will help them to compare advantages and disadvantages (in this case, relating to working from home).

Please send me your own answers to this question, and I'll give you some advice about how to improve.

IELTS-style speaking questions

IELTS Part 3: "What are the advantages and disadvantages of working from home?"

Why we need to protect polar bears

Polar bears are being increasingly threatened by the effects of climate change, but their disappearance could have far-reaching consequences. They are uniquely adapted to the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle, where temperatures can reach -40°C. One reason for this is that they have up to 11 centimetres of fat underneath their skin. Humans with comparative levels of adipose tissue would be considered obese and would be likely to suffer from diabetes and heart disease. Yet the polar bear experiences no such consequences.

A 2014 study by Shi Ping Liu and colleagues sheds light on this mystery. They compared the genetic structure of polar bears with that of their closest relatives from a warmer climate, the brown bears. This allowed them to determine the genes that have allowed polar bears to survive in one of the toughest environments on Earth. Liu and his colleagues found the polar bears had a gene known as APoB, which reduces levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) – a form of ‘bad’ cholesterol. In humans, mutations of this gene are associated with increased risk of heart disease. Polar bears may therefore be an important study model to understand heart disease in humans.

I'll add the last part in the message area.
