Those of you who are enrolled in any of those courses will be taken to your respective buildings at the end of this meeting. Those of you studying on the Dinglewood campus you will have a tour later too.

This building we are assembled in is the office or administration block, block 39, and is where the weekly meetings are held. You are welcome to attend these meetings, as are all the university staff. You may want to. As many university issues are discussed that these weekly meetings.

Two other important buildings are also located on this campus. The cafeteria and the onsite shop. You can purchase all the required Q₁₅ books and any stationery you need for your courses at this shop. Please bear in mind that even though you have shown your Q_14/16 id passes to enter the site, you still need to use them again to buy anything in the shop or cafeteria. This is for security reasons.

IELTS LISTENING – Balloons and Airships S40T4

IELTS LISTENING  Balloons and Airships listening practice test has 10 questions belong to the Education & Science & Technology.

Lecturer :

Now balloons and airships are worth consideration because while on the one hand, they represent humans’ first successes at air flight after centuries of less than successful theory and experimentation, they also, on the other hand, continue to be used today. We may have appeared to have moved on to jet planes and space rockets, but you can still see these more primitive flyers in the skies.

Okay, um, gas balloons. First, Frantz saw the first balloon flight in 1783 and this began a process of development by 1862 in the Civil War in the United States, we find 30th Low replacing Q₃₁ spies with balloons to go behind enemy lines. The success of this led to the continued use of balloons in peacetime and they were employed in the creation of Q₃₂ maps and such applications continue to this day with balloons assisting in increasing our knowledge and understanding of the world we live in.

Unmanned balloons are still widely used to Q₃₃ collect data to inform scientific research of various kinds. You’d be surprised at how much they contribute. All sorts of instruments can be mounted in a balloon and ongoing investigations into Q₃₄ climate benefit from the information that can be gathered from a flight. Well, that’s gas balloons.

Now, the increase in the popularity of ballooning as a sport or leisure activity has been mainly due to the development of the modern hot air balloon. Being cheaper and safer than the gas balloon. Heating air rather than using potentially explosive gas is what makes these rise, although the process doesn’t generate as much Q₃₅ lift as with gas balloons. But this is a small price to pay for its other benefits on this type of balloon is no doubt here to stay.

Airships are also fairly old in their origins. The idea for a balloon that could be powered and steered was first published in France in 1784. Although 1852 was the date of the first successful airship flight. The first airships, like the first aircraft, didn’t provide any Q₃₆ weather protection for their crew, so it must have been rather uncomfortable up there. But designs continued to develop in sophistication.

It was realized that the ships would drift about if they weren’t strengthened and it works effectively, they would have to have a Q₃₇ framework. Once design started incorporating this, flights became longer and more reliable. Airships were deployed for various uses in the First World War on once peace returned, designers began to turn their attention to ambitious plans for regular intercontinental flights.

However, in the 1930s, this program more or less came to an end. For one thing, the speed and popularity of Q₃₈ airlines meant that the airship appeared superseded. They just couldn’t compete. And as if that weren’t enough in itself, another factor in the decline of the airship was an alarming number of Q₃₉ crashes. And this, of course, put people off. Nevertheless, several countries have continued to build smaller airships for various uses such as naval observation or publicity purposes. In fact, their popularity seems set for a slight revival. On In the past few years, there has been renewed attention paid to the possibility of using them to transport Q₄₀ cargo. Who knows, maybe the 21st century will be the age of the airship. Now, if you look at your handouts, you’ll see that I’ve included some infamy…

IELTS LISTENING – Immunity and Immunization S39T4

IELTS listening Immunity and Immunization listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Academic Lecture on Immunology.

Lecturer:

Good afternoon, and thank you for your warm welcome. This will be the first talk in a series of five on health interventions, protection, and prevention. Could I start by asking for a show of hands? How many of you have had a flu vaccination at the beginning of winter? Ah, I thought so. You young ones always think you’re indestructible. Well, as you’ve no doubt aware, disease-spreading germs or pathogens are everywhere.

On a daily basis, the human body has to ward off Q₃₁ attacks by various harmful bacteria and viruses. A healthy body has a good defence system against many of these germs. But the defence only operates well against microorganisms that it has already encountered, in which case it is said to be immune.

There are two ways in which humans acquire natural immunity. Actively, when a person has first suffered and then recovered from an illness and passively when ready-made protection is transferred into the body, for example, from the maternal blood fire the umbilical cord to an unborn child or through breast milk. Now artificially acquired immunity can help the body to fight Q₃₂ disease so we can use active immunization as a preventative measure. This is when a person is vaccinated against illness by injection or oral ingestion of a tiny amount of weakened or Q₃₃ inactive germs not enough to actually cause him or her to contract the illness, but sufficient for the body’s Q₃₄ defence system to recognize and respond to the threat by forming antibodies. Intervention using passive immunization, on the other hand, is a method of curing an illness after it is too late for prevention. It is less effective than active immunization and takes longer to work. It is used when the body has already been invaded by bacteria and the person is ill. In this case, there is no time for the body to make antibodies of its own. So proteins, usually taken from the Q₃₅ blood of animals are injected to equip the patient with the essential antibodies to combat the particular illness. Let’s have a quick look at a bit of history. The discovery of vaccination to boost the body’s immune system by making it sensitive to particular disease-causing bacteria was made by an 18th-century English doctor cooled Edward Jenna.

He noticed that survivors of smallpox, a common but extremely dangerous disease, never contracted the disease a second time. In other words, they were immune. He studied a similar disease in cows called cowpox and realized that people in contact with the Q₃₆ infected cows became ill with symptoms resembling smallpox. However, this disease was quite mild by comparison and those who contracted cowpox were then immune to smallpox.

He conducted an Q₃₇ experiment by injecting a child with a small amount of pass taken from a cowpox postural. The child subsequently became ill, but soon recovered. Later, he injected the child with Puss from smallpox postural, and the child did not get sick. He had developed immunity to the more dangerous disease. The antibodies produced to fight the cowpox bacteria had been able to fight off the smallpox bacteria.

What are antibodies? Well, antibodies are made by white blood cells called Q₃₈ B-lymphocytes, and this is done in response to the presence of antigens or other bacterial toxins which have been released by the microorganisms. What we commonly refer to as germs that have invaded the body. These Y-shaped Q₃₉ antibodies. Or you can think of them as antitoxins may stop the toxins or repair the damage they have done by what is known as the antigen-antibody reaction, which takes place within the plasma of the blood. The correct antibody for that disease clings to a particular Q₄₀ antigen. In order to render it harmless.

large numbers of these pears clumped together to form a bigger unit. This is called a hallucination and is able to be seen by the naked eye, which is very helpful for doctors and other specialists to determine which illnesses a patient is immune to. Inoculation or active vaccination can protect people from serious diseases.

The vaccine may make a person feel unwell for a few days when the immune system starts to produce antibodies to match the introduced Auntie Jen. This is called a primary reaction. If that particular Auntie Jen should ever enter the body again later, a secondary reaction takes place. The body is then able to produce large numbers of corresponding enter bodies within a short time, so the invading antigen are quickly wiped out without the person suffering any harm from the disease.
