students going to university with EEE grades
at A-levels is “lunacy”, an education minister has said as he warns it is
“madness” but the Government has to “suck it up”.

1.
Today when we want to enter a university we
must have very high grades, which is a very "crazy thing" for some
people. but the government says that this is for the good of the students
themselves. Lord Agnew, the
minister for school systems, said that the voices “screaming for lowering
standards” in higher education are “relentless”.
|
|
2.
Several productions earned multiple awards, with the TV
drama Sky Castle, which was set in a privileged Seoul
neighborhood, winning the lion’s share. The drama focused on the often
machiavellian efforts of the enclave’s residents to provide an educational
advantage for their children. Although the drama did not win a best drama
award, director Jo Hyun Tak won Best Director, actress Yum Jung Ah won Best
Actress for TV, Kim Hye Yoon won a Best New Actress TV award and Kim Byung
Chul won Best Supporting Actor.

I think I agree with
the first news, because based on my experience, that it is so hard to get a
high score when we want to enter the university. It makes me crazy

1. An Indonesian
theme park has covered the bare breasts on two statues to respect
"Eastern values".
|
|
2. Indonesia is
moving its capital city away from Jakarta, according to the country's
planning minister
|

3. A Polish tourist
has been jailed for five years in Indonesia after being convicted of plotting
with rebels in the east of the country
|
|
|
Background event
(Elaboration)
|
1.
Ancol Dreamland in
the capital city Jakarta placed golden chest wraps on the mermaid figures,
which have been at the park for the last 15 years. The move has confused many
in the city and prompted questions about whether the park was forced into the
decision.
|
|
2.
Indonesians have
never elected a non-Javanese president and most of Indonesia's wealth is
concentrated in Jakarta. Indonesians living outside Java, particularly in the
east, have long complained about being forgotten and neglected by the
country's leaders sitting in the sprawling capital. Moving the capital out of
Java would send a powerful political message that this is changing, if it
happens.

3.
Jakub Skrzypski, 39,
was arrested in Papua province last August and accused of treason after
allegedly making contacts with separatists there. Skrzypski has denied
plotting against the state and insists he is a tourist.

I think it is a good
idea to move the capital city to borneo, as we know that it is been too many
residents who occupy the java island.

1. Leonardo da Vinci
could have experienced nerve damage in a fall, impeding his ability to paint
in later life, Italian doctors suggest

2. Seven-year-old
Leia Armitage lived in total silence for the first two years of her life, but
thanks to pioneering brain surgery and years of therapy she has found her
voice and can finally tell her parents she loves them.

3. A donor kidney has
been delivered to surgeons at a US hospital via drone, in the first flight of
its kind.
|
|
|
Background event
(Elaboration)
|
1.
They diagnosed ulnar
palsy, or "claw hand", by analysing the depiction of his right hand
in two artworks. It had been suggested that Leonardo's hand impairment was
caused by a stroke. But in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, the
doctors suggest it was nerve damage that meant he could no longer hold a
palette and brush.
|
|
2.
Leia, from Dagenham
in east London, had no inner ear or hearing nerve, meaning that even standard
hearing aids or cochlear implants wouldn't help her.
NHS England calls
the surgery "truly life-changing" and has said it will fund the
implant for other deaf children in a similar position.
|
|
|
3. The three-mile journey required a lot of new
technology, including a custom-made drone capable of carrying the additional
weight of an organ, which also needed on-board cameras and organ tracking,
and communications and safety systems for a flight over an urban,
densely-populated area.

Background event

1.
More than 90% of the value of all tickets sold
in UK cinemas last weekend was for Avengers: Endgame. Within five days it had
become the fastest film to break the $1bn sales barrier worldwide. But more
significantly, it is the latest evidence that Walt Disney is now the world's
biggest box-office player. Of the 10 films with the biggest worldwide sales
in their opening weekend, Disney has distributed five. Variety magazine reported that
Disney took one fifth of all global box office takings in 2018
|
|
2.
news of the couple's
engagement emerged after Ms Ardern was seen at a ceremony on Friday wearing a
diamond ring on the middle finger of her left hand. A hawk-eyed journalism
intern spied the new addition and asked the prime minister's office about it.
Her spokesman then confirmed that the pair got engaged over Easter.

3.
The flare-up over
the weekend followed a truce agreed last month.
Four Palestinians,
including two Hamas militants, were killed on Friday after an attack injured
two Israeli soldiers.
The latest violence
marks yet another increase in hostilities despite attempts by Egypt and the
United Nations to broker a longer-term ceasefire, says the BBC's Tom Bateman
in Jerusalem
