renovate my apartment’s facade. How about you, Ron?

That sounds great! I am here to buy some paint because I am revamping my daughter’s bedroom.

PART B_2

How are you today, Emma?

I am feeling a whole lot better now compared to the past few weeks.

That’s good to hear, Emma. Would you like to share about it?

For the past few weeks, I have been calmly telling my neighbor to
minimize the volume of his stereo as it disturbs other houses.
Until last night, It was the last straw,
so I immediately knocked at his door and talked to him for the last time.

How did you react to that?

I got mad as a hornet because my child was not able to sleep because of the loud noise.

How were you able to calm down?

My mom was there to help me calm down. How about you, Ron. When was the last time you got angry?

It was just last week when I had a misunderstanding with my sister.

How were you able to resolve it?

We took some time to keep ourselves cool, then we talked after.

Yes, that is really good.
It is hard to communicate well with people when we are clouded with anger.

PART B_2

A study shows that people who live in higher latitudes have larger eyes and more abilities to process visual information compared to those living on lower grounds. Researchers measured the eye sizes and brain capacity of 55 skulls dating from the 19th century preserved at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. The skulls are from 12 different countries in the world such as native people from England, China, Australia, Kenya, Micronesia, and Scandinavia. According to the lead author of the study Ellie Pearce: “As you move away from the equator, there’s less and less light available, so humans have had to evolve bigger and bigger eyes.” She added that their brains need to be larger to deal with extra visual information. Having bigger brains does not mean they are less intelligent. It only means they need larger brain sizes to see well where they live. This indicates that people from Greenland and Kenya have the same ability to see details from higher ground, but those from lower areas need larger eyes and more brainpower to see things from below.
