Getting to know each other. a) Make 5-7 wh... questions that you would like to ask someone you see for the first time. Example: What are your hobbies? When … / where … / who … / who … / why … / how … ? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) b) Give your questions to another student. Work in pairs. Ask and answer questions. Take notes. c) Now report this information to the first student. Speak from you notes. Example: Hanka is studying biochemistry. She likes kickbox. … Useful phrases: LIKES DISLIKES She quite likes … She doesn´t like … She is interested in… She can´t stand … She is keen on … She dislikes … She is fond of … She can´t stand … She loves … She hates … Listening: STEM CELL RESEARCH 2. Vocabulary: Match the words and their definitions 1. stem cells a) eating the flesh of your own species 2. tissue b) young animal (here human) in the earliest stage of development 3. hampered c) very similar or identical set of genes 4. ethical concerns d) are produced or developed from 5. are derived from e) the same as something else (especially something bad), equal in meaning 6. embryos f) hindered, affected the progress of 7. tantamount g) flexibility, capable of many different uses 8. cannibalism h) moral problems, or worries relating to professional conduct 9. versatility i) general cells which produce other specialised types of cells (e.g. blood cells) 10. genetic match j) a collection of cells with a similar structure and particular function in an animal/plant (here) 3. Scientists, from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Harvard University, say they have discovered a new source of cells that could one day repair damaged human organs. This report is from Science correspondent Matt McGrath. a) Listen and answer these questions: 1. What are the 'ethical concerns' that may prevent some types of stem cell research? 2. What are the scientists working on? b) Listen again. Are the following sentences true or false? If they are false, say what is true. 1. Stem cells are useful because they kill diseases. T/F 2. The best stem cells are produced from animal embryos. T/F 3. People who disagree with stem cell research think that using embryos is almost like eating humans. T/F 4. Scientists in the United Kingdom think they have found another source of stem cells. T/F 5. The new source of cells is in the liquid which surrounds a baby before it is born. T/F 6. Scientists think that they only need one thousand cells for almost the whole population. T/F c) Listen once more and fill in the gaps: Scientists believe that stem cells offer real hope of treating illnesses like diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Stem cells act like master cells and can 1…………… into the types of tissue that are destroyed by the progression of these diseases. But this field of 2.……………has been hampered by ethical concerns over the source of stem cells. Scientists say the most useful types are derived from specially grown human embryos.Opponents say that because these embryos are destroyed in the process, this is tantamount to cannibalism. Now scientists in the United States, after a seven year research 3…………….., say they have found a ready source of useful stem cells in amniotic fluid, the liquid that surrounds a 4……………….. baby. The researchers say that these cells seem to have many of the qualities of embryonic stem cells. The team have managed to turn them into functioning 5………………., fat, blood vessel, nerve and liver cells. In tests, these newly made cells seemed to 6………………….. some function in brain damaged mice. Although amniotic fluid derived stem cells are small in number, their ability to 7………………. themselves and their versatility gives the researchers great hope. They say that a bank of 100,000 of these stem cells could 8……………….. a genetic match for 99 percent of the US population.
