PART B_2

According to the World Health Organization, Australia ranks higher than the United States in the world health systems’ ranking. However, statistics show that not all Australians are healthy. In a recent study, Aboriginal Australians have more health problems than non-Aboriginal Australians.
The Europeans’ arrival in the 18th century was catastrophic because they took away Aboriginal land and brought diseases. Many Aboriginal Australians died because they had no immunity against the diseases. Since then, many Aboriginal Australians lived in poverty. Most of them are unemployed, so the government provides training to help them find jobs. However, some still live with low income and poor living conditions which results in spreading of diseases. In 2007, they launched a program to check the health of Aboriginal children. However, a family would lose its welfare payments should they stop sending their children for medical checks. Later on, they protested and quit the program. In 2008, the government started another program. Nurses visit and give expert advice to pregnant Aboriginal women regularly which helped the Aboriginal Australians understand the importance of health care more.
These days, the lives of the Aboriginal Australians are improving. Their aim for the future is to become equal members of the society.

(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART B_2

In 1956, a group of scientists used the word “artificial intelligence” based on their idea of building machines that could explore human intelligence. AI has developed into three stages. First, computer programs that could play games and solve puzzles were developed. After that, researchers created “expert systems” which input expert knowledge into computers. Lastly, they developed machines with learning capabilities.
Nowadays, machines use “deep learning” which enables computer systems to identify objects, handle vast amounts of data, and create new work by copying patterns. AI also improved medical science. One example is Watson, an AI-powered computer system loaded with various medical information that could help doctors save lives.
AI has a lot of benefits but there are many concerns about it. First, AI could take away people’s jobs by replacing them. Second, AI might affect how people think by just simply observing people’s behavior online. Lastly, people are concerned that weapons would work without humans’ control. Also, a powerful superintelligence could endanger the entire civilization. For now, it is important to use AI in ethical ways to benefit humanity.

Dr. Kanto Tomoko was the first Japanese to join the non-government organization “Doctors Without Borders”, which was established in France in 1971. Since then, it has been helping injured and sick people all over the world.
Dr. Tomoko wanted to help people and experience various cultures in other places. She read about “Doctors Without Borders” and she found out that some of her friends had been helping people through the organization. So, she sent a letter to the organization to show that she was willing to join them. They approved her request and she was sent to Sri Lanka at the Madhu refugee camp where fighting was going on. There was only one small hospital with old equipment and little staff which was not enough for the refugees. Every day, they treated almost 150 people who spoke Tamil and could just answer simple questions. Sometimes, they also worked in a small camp which is eight kilometers away from Madhu. They even treated soldiers but only without their weapons. Most people recovered but many children were lost due to diseases. Not having enough food and water was also part of the problem. At night, they were sometimes not allowed to go out so, they had to listen to the radio to know if it was safe to go out or not.

PART B_2

Tarsier is a tiny animal that can be found in the southern part of the Philippines. It has bat-like ears and big eyes. Its body is about the size of the palm of an adult person. They are more active at night and usually lazier in the morning. They eat small animals like beetles, frogs, and lizards.
Over the past years, tarsiers have become an attraction in Bohol, Philippines, so a lot of tourists have been visiting the province just to see them. However, this has caused stress to tarsiers as they are being shown to people during the day instead of getting sleep. If they are up during the day, they will not be able to look for food at night. This will result in multiple problems like being unhappy and not being able to reproduce. This is one of the reasons why tarsier is one of the animals in the Philippines that may soon disappear because there are very few left alive. That is why the government is doing an effort to save tarsiers by reminding people to have fewer activities involving the tarsier.

Australia has one of the best medical systems in the world. However, not all Australians are healthy. In a study about Australians’ health, statistics show that Aboriginal Australians have more health problems than non-Aboriginal Australians.
The Europeans’ arrival in the 18th century was catastrophic. Many Aboriginal Australians died because they didn’t have immunity against diseases brought by the Europeans. The Europeans also took away some of their lands, so most of them lived in poverty. Until now, the Aboriginal population has difficulty adapting to modern life with high levels of unemployment and an average income of $280 a week less than the non-Aboriginal Australians. As a result, most of them have poor living conditions which lead to the spread of diseases. To improve the situation, the government made programs to train and provide jobs to Aboriginal Australians. In 2007, the Australian government began doing health checks for Aboriginal children with a condition that if the family would not send their children, they would lose their welfare payments from the government. However, they ended up not following it and protested against the condition. In 2008, they started a program in which nurses visit pregnant Aboriginal women regularly. The nurses gave expert advice and built a good relationship with their patients which helped Aboriginal Australians understand health care more.
Nowadays, Aboriginal Australians’ health and employment are slowly improving. In the future, their aim is to see themselves as equal members of their country’s society.
