Free And Social Learning Lewis Pugh, UN Patron of the Oceans, who swims the Arctic in his speedos to fight the climate change crisis Lewis Pugh realized just how extreme the conditions were when he saw a wave in the choppy Antarctic waters wash over his boat and freeze instantly, creating a layer of ice on the clothes and gear of the people on board. The sea, because it was salty, was already below freezing. But the air temperature was -37°C (-35°F). It was February 2015. Pugh was wearing swimming trunks. Pugh is the first and so far only UN Patron of the Oceans. Kelvin Trautman Born by the coast in England and raised in South Africa, Pugh loves to swim, and he clearly likes personal challenge. But the increasingly dangerous challenges he’s undertaken in recent years, and the UN title awarded him in 2013, are focused on one goal. His most recent efforts have been concentrated on the Ross Sea, a tract of ocean off Antarctica that, campaigners say, is one of the last pristine seas on earth. Driven to swim His good wolf says: “Lewis, you get in here…You’ve got a doctor on standby in case anything goes wrong.

Teen Vogue: Fashion, Beauty, Entertainment News for Teens English Profile - English Grammar Profile The English Grammar Profile allows us to see how learners develop competence in grammatical form and meaning, as well as pragmatic appropriateness, as they move up the CEFR levels. This provides us with typical, world-wide grammar profiles for each level. Like vocabulary, grammatical forms often have more than one meaning. For example, the modal verb 'may' can be used with various meanings at different levels. Weak possibility: "The weather may be hot." Formal permission: "May I borrow your bike?" 'May well': "You may well find that this is not the case." 'May as well': "We may as well go home." Watch Mike McCarthy's introduction to the EGP below, originally featured on Cambridge English Teacher: How to access the EGP The EGP is available as a free, online resource.

What Languages Do Bilinguals Count In? Post written by Aneta Pavlenko. It is often said that bilinguals continue using their first language for simple arithmetic operations, such as addition or multiplication, long after they shifted to the second language in other domains. I am not an exception to this phenomenon. After two decades in the U.S., I live, lecture, and write in English but when it comes to balancing my checkbook, calculating a tip, or counting the number of reps at the gym, I often switch to Russian. Do others also count in their first language while living in the second, and if so, why? article continues after advertisement To study the relationship between bilingualism and numerical cognition, researchers commonly use experimental tasks that range from number recall to complex mathematical problems. The first language advantage, however, is limited to speakers whose early schooling was in their home language. Yet the picture emerging from bilingualism research is significantly more complex.
