Researchers want to find a new rise so that other scientists could mimic their method but they just find something else.

Is it this short passage trying to say? I am confused with scientific terms!

Not really so

The real story behind that passage is the following:

scientists, studying the reflecting which is a squid protein that shields the animal making it almost invisible, would be able to mimic this process not only to create something useful through which we could reflect something else for the purpose but also the biomolecular engineering process behind all this stuff could help us to hack the cells for other broad purposes


Hope this helps

Summary:

The passage is started with the importance of getting the right information through the Millenium Development Goals. And no big investment hasn't proceeded for making health information available for all. And then showed with statistics that because of the scarcity of healthcare information in different countries people aren't getting the proper care for severe diseases and many of them are dying when the cure is available. Govt. are also in lack of sharing the health information while analysts are suggesting to make this info sharing with mass people as political and civil rights.



Good job

Drinking too much coffee can deteriorate mental condition can cause dementia and stroke. If there is more consumption of coffee then it's very harmful for health, there is decrease in size of brain (suggested by researcher). So, there are lot of side effects of coffee. However, there is also improvement when coffee is taken with some wine and chocolate (suggested by nutritional researchers).


On point

Aug 2, Long Passage Summary
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gNW ... sp=sharing

NASA was an having an arbitrary motion in space which was unexpected so they turned to Roscosmos, Russia’s -space agency. NASA lost their communication(It was the ground control who lost their communication with the crew, I think the crew implies to the astronaut's team because that is what the author discusses in the previous line) but later on they found that it was another russian module. However, there was software glitch, the 7 astronauts from NASA were felt that they were absolutely fine. As it is said that astronauts are always in danger, they don't want to reveal any kind of information regarding ISS. So NASA manager(The author presents the situation or the glich the manager had experienced before which was also related to the russian tech and prove his point that the astronauts are always in danger) giving an example of Roscosmos, when crew scoured the station they found a tiny hole in a Soyuz capsule in russian astronaut vehicle. In past years, astronaut was only the person to travel to space, now even billionaire person can visit the space. ISS has great technology and soon we can visit and explore the space(I did not find this in the article).


Hi There!

A good one! This is how I would try to summarize, this might help :) and let me know if I am wrong

P1: This para gives us a background about what happened and how did NASA try to find the issue by reaching out to Roscosmos.
P2: Gives us further details about the issue, and the cause. And gives an expert view on the danger experienced/not experienced by the astronaut
P3: Further delineates the danger astronauts are in, by giving an expert opinion and providing examples of past incidents.
P4 The author the discusses the autonomy of the space flights by giving examples that billionaires have already started flying and they made it look easy but it remains dangerous for professional astronauts and tourists
P5: Discusses about ISS, and how it is like a home, but this notion does not lasts long and a sudden fire can jolt the astronauts back in reality and lasts with them even after the go to space.

How does the above help?

If you focus on nouns, you are trying to remember the whole passage even the details, try to limit the use of nouns in the summary. Focus only on those which acts important like NASA in some sentence and Roscosmos in other. Writting a paragraph summary also help you to quickly answer question based on a particular paragraph like what role does xyz paragraph play, so instead of lookint at the whole para a summary gives you a concise picture and also to the main idea of the whole passage along with each paragraph's relation with the other.

Hope this helps!

Regards
S

p3: Plant cases were increasing and Investigation was also going great unless there was no lockdown. Due to this pandemic, many people find the illegal path.

p4: Pandemic has cause increase in the number of unemployment. Mr. Kaffer is the one where he was poor and to help his family he was doing poaching.

p5: The cases were increasing not only on succulents poaching but also the other types like haworthias, adromischus etc. Example of Korean poacher stealing farinosa plants.

p6: It was difficult to track the people trading for rare plant so the project manager from Africa come up with project to track illegal online trade.

Pandemic causes poverty that led the people to do any illegal things since they find it easy for poaching so they want to survive through online trading.

Central Idea of the passage - The new research stating relation between excessive weed smoking and developing schizophrenia
Tone of the author is - Cautious and speculative

Main purpose of the passage - Since most of the passage is fact based and information based, the authors opinion is only stated twice in the passage. In my opinion, the central idea and tone combine to form the main purpose for this passage

My summary for the short passage for today:

Para 1:
>> New research has found a new alarming relation between smoking excessive weed and mental illnes
>> A team of scientists identified a link between cannabies use disorder and schizopernia
>> While there are limitation to this research , this research does reveal that weed consumption is not safe as many assume it to be , especially heavy consumption of weed

Para 2:
>> This research cannot for sure determine the corelation between smoking weed and dveeloping schizopernia and hence other factors must be considered such as unrelated increase in diagnozing schizopernia
>> But researchers belive that there is some cause such as unrelated increase in cannabis use, weed being more powerful and weed directly affecting risk factors of schizopernia, which suggest that there is real danger to smoking weed and emphasis that cannabis use is harmful.

Para 3:
>> Researchers maintain that this has to be replicated elsewhere to draw firm conclusions, but they are posotive to find simlar traces wehre use and potency of cannabis has increased, as many studies suggest that cannabis is the driver of schizopernia


Hi!

Could you please attach the link of the article too.

It would be easier for us to refer to.

Hi There!

No worries about the word limit, unless you are realistic, and are sure that you are going to write a couple hundred words on the real test and waste time. Anyway.

To paraphrase the central idea: The author merely presents the findings of the research and the speculation about the possible link between marijuana & schizophrenia.


As for the main idea I would say as it yet to be concluded as to whether MARIJUANA is causing SCHIZOPHRENIA and is just a hypothesis the main idea should have some tinge on this. So, it could be, to present research findings about a possible link between marijuana and schizophrenia. Notice possible is an important word here.


P.s. Carcass could you please help me with your opinion on the above analysis.

My take on the summary :
A new research tech active camouflage which is still in preliminary state ,helps in automatically blending into surroundings in real time .The system is tested on a chameleon bot which changes color depending on surfaces. This camouflage is being considered to be used for military purposes which is a dream for many and this new innovation opens path for many new innovations to come in the future.

SUMMARY SHORT READING :

Scientific evidence suggests that there may be a link between social media usage and depression amongst teens .Facebook also has been targeting a younger audience . Some researchers believe that facebook is trying to block any relation between mental health and social media usage .To this facebook makers maintain that there is no conclusive evidence to these researches. Researchers however contend that facebook is making money at the expense of kids and inspite of them having done their research on this they are not being transparent about it.

My summary for the passage posted on : 16th July (short passage)

Link :https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uAQaAxqQ7n5l3bMgMJNGq1L4tc49Z8_W9XozJF7fcD8/edit

Summary :
The passage describes the newly developed biosensor approach called NeuroSWARM3 . The sensor is directly injected to the blood stream through which it travels and converts neural activity to electric signals to be understood by machinery. This will help scientists in understanding human thoughts , and will greatly help people with disabilities. The research is still under progress and soon will be tested on animals . This is a different approach , including the one of Elon Musk's Neuralink which are working on implant based solutions.

(Short Passage)
Summary :
Researchers have found that bottled water is more destructive for the environment than tap water . Also the cost involved in extracting resources for bottled water is extremely high than tap water . Despite the increase in quality of tap water , the number of bottled water has been on the rise , even though the health benefits of bottled water is minimal . In order to reduce bottled water consumption , better advising that can convince people to utilize tap water is believed to be needed!

Long passage: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12MIFhAJxbXvSjW_qTHuiImRUgQB2wy6ouBvjGF-OZXA/edit


This passage is primarily focusing on the importance of self-directed education/unschooling. The author has introduced different perspectives in different passages to show how unschooling can do great for a child. For example, self-motivation for concentration on the study, following what the children like to do, sensing the world, deeper relationship between parents and children. He has shown some historical events regarding the promotion of unschooling. The author has also brought the positiveness of unschooling in internet use. As per author's view and presented quotes, covid 19 is helping parents to realize and think about the unschooling.
