and phrases: ‘WFH’ (working from home), ‘coronacation’ (a vacation because of the coronavirus), ‘covidiot’ (someone WHO ignoring public health advice) and the like. At the same time, existing words evolve. Established terms such as ‘self-isolate’, ‘outbreak’, ‘hand sanitiser’, ‘lockdown’ and ‘social distanc­ing’ THEY increased in use and HAVE became the top words of 2020.
New words are entering the English language all the time. If people be­gin to use a new word a lot OF, it gets added to the dictionary! And that’s the MOST best way to learn new vocabulary – listen to people HOW using a word, then use it ON yourself.

In sports, you learn to rely on each ONE other to accomplish a common goal. Though individual sports are AS great, team sports actually do teach you a life lesson: the success of a team depends on how MANY well the players work together. Even the ‘star’ player cannot win the game alone TOO. Sports also teach you to play ENOUGH fairly, to respect the players on the opposing team, to put in your MOST best effort and demonstrate honourable behaviour whether you win or lose a game.
Sports require time and commitment, but most players WHO usually per­form better in school ARE more likely to be involved in BOTH clubs or com­munity service. How is this possible? Playing a sport IT requires teenagers to develop two important skills: focus and time management. These are crucial traits in people who get things done and LIKE achieve their goals.

The Olympic flag has a white background, with five SO interlaced rings in the centre: blue, yellow, black, green and red. This Olympic symbol – widely known throughout the world SUCH as the Olympic rings – is based on a design THAT created in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games who VERY hoped to revive the ancient Olympic Games as an international contest IS promoting peace.
Five interlocked rings THEY represent the five inhabited continents of the world, united by Olympism, while the six colors are those that WAS appeared on all the national flags of the world in that time. The rings WHICH were first used at the Olympic Games in Belgium in THE 1920. The International Olympic Committee takes their rings very MUCH seriously, and the symbol is subject to really strict usage rules and graphic standards.

The flu is a common infectious disease WHICH caused by influenza vi­ruses. Though it is more THAN common in autumn and winter, you can catch it all year round. The flu usually affects ON a person’s breathing system. The symptoms include a high temperature, a sore throat, a headache, a runny or stuffy nose and tiredness.
People WHO with flu are most contagious in the first three to four days after their illness begins. The flu spreads THERE when infected people cough, sneeze or talk. Due to this fact, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue if

you WILL cough or sneeze. Regularly wash your hands with soap for at THE least 20 seconds. Don’t touch your face with unwashed hands. When you feel YOURSELF sick, if IT possible, stay home and avoid close contact with oth­ers. Remember: the flu is caused by a virus, so antibiotics are not SO an ef­fective treatment.

For those who don’t know, Globish IT is a simplified version of Anglo­American English WHAT used as a worldwide lingua franca. ‘Global English’ was developed in the mid-1990s YEARS by French businessman Jean-Paul Nerrière AS to help learners of English to speak with a limited BOTH vocabu­lary and simple sentences. Nerrière noticed how non-native English speak­ers communicated at conferences and developed a list of fifteen hundred OF English words that can be used to talk just about anything. Now, the rules are: standard English grammar, no more jokes and no ANY idioms.
With 1.5 billion speaking English as a second language; THERE maybe Globish will one day be the language of interaction. In the meantime, those with a gift for learning languages THEY are sure to have a big advantage. For everyone else, why not TO start with Globish?

A generation has BEEN grown up that doesn’t know life without comput­ers or mobile phones. Today’s teenagers take the power of the Internet with its instant information and communication for THE granted. For them there IT has been no life without video games, satellite TV and all the other things that are great advances – or curses – to MORE older people.
They navigate IN the Internet and all kinds of computer applications without a second thought. They download music, watch video and television online, and instant message with ITS friends. They arrange much of their lives through social networking sites and assume WHAT it’s the most normal thing in the world. Technology has always been a major component in their ALL lives, from games consoles and remote controls to BOTH finding their way by satellite navigation when they WILL begin driving.

“How long does it take to turn green?” Most of us probably thought about this when WERE waiting at the traffic lights after pressing the push button for pedestrians. At the end of 2020 YEAR, the Austrian city of Vienna rolled­out its smart traffic lights system. These are SO innovative devices that are equipped with an in-built camera WHAT capable of detecting people within a field of five metres near the traffic lights. Once they WILL verify that the pedestrian VERY wants to cross the street, the signal automatically changes to green without NO having to press any buttons.
This solution was realized because not ONLY everyone is prepared to wait and some people just cross the street while the traffic lights are on red. On the other ONE hand, some people press the buttons just for fun, generating un­necessary retentions and irritating some drivers who have to stop IF even when nobody is crossing the street.

Frozen vegetables WHICH can often be prepared with minimal effort, making them a quick and convenient alternative to MUCH fresh vegetables. They’re also typically cheaper RATHER than fresh vegetables and tend to have a MORE longer shelf life, helping you get the most bang for your buck. What’s THE more, they’re available year-round, meaning that you can enjoy BOTH your favorite veggies regardless of whether they’re in season.
Adding frozen vegetables to your diet IT is a simple way to increase your intake of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Plus, studies show SO that increasing your intake of vegetables may be associated with a lower risk heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and more THAN. Besides, frozen fruit and vegetables contained more antioxidants such as vitamin C, polyphenols, beta carotene and lutein compared to fresh varieties stored THERE in the fridge for three days.

A painting WHICH stolen many OF years ago and then found lying in a pile of rubbish in New York IT has been sold by the auction house Sotheby’s for MORE over a million dollars. The painting Tres Personajes (Three People) by Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo was taken from a warehouse in Texas where the owners had placed it while THEY moving.
It was saved from the rubbish by Elizabeth Gibson, who HAS spotted it while she was on her way to buy HERS coffee. It hung ITSELF on a wall in her home for several months before a friend suggested it might be valuable. Af­ter discovering the painting’s value, she returned it to its OWN original owner.
Ms Gibson has already received a $15,000 reward which the owners put up when the painting was stolen, plus an undisclosed percentage of the sale of the painting. It is still not known how MUCH the painting ended up on the street. The theft of the painting is now being investigated by the FBI.

Be honest, you want to be MORE smarter. There’s NO nothing wrong with that. Studies demonstrate that intelligence is among the most desirable
433
qualities WHAT a person has. In fact, most OF ways to improve intelligence don’t require a huge commitment of time and energy.
One of the best and easiest things you can TO do is to make reading a habit. The web is also full of great learning resources, like AS online videos and courses, intriguing TED talks, and vocabulary-building tools. Another important strategy is to spend time with BOTH people who challenge you intellectually. It has been said that your IQ is the average of the five MOST closest people you hang out with, so make VERY sure your close circle in­cludes some really bright people. Listening to new music, trying new foods, and navigating foreign streets THEY all work to challenge your brain’s capa­city to adapt to new situations. You just need to be willing to learn.

In the past decade vlogging has become SUCH extremely popular. Watch­ing someone TO do mundane things like folding their laundry is appealing to us because OF we get an insight into someone else’s life. If you feel YOUR- SELF comfortable in front of the camera and you don’t mind trying new things, you’ll have the recipe for a great vlog.
Before even IF starting to vlog, you need to learn how to make your chan­nel stand out, find the right equipment (camera, microphone, tripod, lighting setup, editing software, etc.), and get acquainted with YouTube’s guidelines so AS that you can avoid BOTH copyright strikes or similar issues. The sky is the limit when it comes THERE to vlog content. Then goes the actual vlog­ging process, and of course, editing, publishing, promoting, and so on. If you WILL monetize your vlogs on YouTube, you can make money from any ads that play on it. You will have to become a YouTube partner in order THAT to cash out.

Contrary to the traditional belief that gaming is just an addictive source of entertainment, recent research has proved that gaming has numerous be­nefits and key among them IT is the development of cognitive skills in both children and adults. Some computer games help HOW to indulge your brain in constant stimulation, thus improving the brain’s performance. They teach us to make split-second decisions, process information more THAN quickly, and multitask AS effectively. Games can also improve hand-eye coordination.
While online games can seem like an VERY isolating activity, it is often more social RATHER than some people think. There is constant communica­tion between the players which WILL results in the development of relationships among them. Though computer games might be beneficial, there is NEITHER need to play them in moderation. It is also ENOUGH important to pick the right game SO as not all of them provide the same cognitive benefits.

The average age for marriage is BEING going up. Getting YOURSELF married in your 30s is the new normal in Western countries. In Russia, on the other ONE hand, couples tend to marry straight after school or university.
434
However, Russia has one of the MOST highest divorce rates in the world! One of the relationship trends today IT is living together before marriage. 4 out of 5 couples are now likely to be ‘trying before buying’.
A recent study of housework trends reveals that men increasingly NOT support gender equality. They’re rolling up their sleeves and pitching in more often at home – from caring for the kids to sharing shopping and cleaning responsibilities. Meanwhile, Swedish men do the most around the house: six times more RATHER than Japanese men, who did the least housework in the poll (only four hours’ housework IN a week). But it’s not all bad news for Japanese wives: the typical Japanese husband hands over his ALL entire salary to his wife, who gives TO him back pocket money in return!

Social networking sites are online communities IN where people can keep in touch with friends, family, colleagues and others with SO similar interests. THE most social networks provide MUCH ways for their users to interact and entertain, such as messaging, video and voice calls, data-sharing, etc. Popu­lar social networking communities such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are being used daily by millions of people and are becoming a part of everyday online activities. The GlobalWebIndex poll shows that 28 percent of the time WHICH spent online is on social media.
One of the many unfortunate uses of social media is the risk of cyber­crime AS like fraud, identity theft or cyberbullying. Whether you like it or not, the information WHAT you post on the Internet is available to almost anyone who is ENOUGH clever to access it. Most cyber criminals need just a few OF vital pieces of personal information to make your life a nightmare. Besides, a common complaint IT is that social media make people less social and more aggressive.

Dating customs and habits vary greatly throughout the world. Dating usu­ally starts in the teenage years. Traditionally, girls BE used to wait for the lads to make the first move, but these days, equality rules. When it comes to dat­ing in Russia, it’s still AS common for men to show up with lavish gifts and make large romantic gestures. A man will show his gentlemanly side by open­ing doors and pulling out chairs and will never let a woman TO pay or even split the bill.
In China, there IT seems to be somewhat of a matchmaking boom. In the city of Shanghai, there is actually something WHICH called a marriage mar­ket. Here, parents of unmarried children literally sit outside and ‘advertise’ their children to potential suitors. This market takes place once IN a week. What makes it embarrassing is that THE most kids don’t give their parents permission or even IF know that their parents attend the market!
Since the introduction of dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, the way people date has changed more THAN drastically. This new style of online dat­ing has BEEN brought on a whole mess of new rules and dating norms.
