Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, proposed his theory of continental drift in 1912 that continents were divided from a large continent and moved gradually to their current locations.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to call action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

The SDGs cover a wide range of interconnected issues, including poverty eradication, health and well-being, education, gender equality, clean energy, sustainable cities, climate action, biodiversity conservation, and more. The 17 goals are integrated so that one area will affect outcomes in others to balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The SDGs are committed to by all UN member states and call for worldwide action among governments, businesses, and civil society.

It represents the full commitment of all UN Member States to eradicate poverty in all its forms, end discrimination and exclusion, and reduce the inequalities and vulnerabilities that leave people behind and *undermine the potential of individuals and of humanity as a whole.

Write MIs-Oct 11

Read and write the main idea of the Introduction and Basic Design in one sentence each.

A medical experiment was conducted on 40 healthy young volunteers in Minnesota in 1944 to study the physical and mental effects of starvation.

The experiment was carried out for nearly a year in three distinct periods: well-fed, hungry, and recovery.

Read and write the main idea of The Good Days, Semi-Starvation, Slow Recovery, and the Conclusion in one sentence each.

In the three-month standardization period, the volunteers were well-fed, and they were full of energy and motivation to do various activities.

During the semi-starvation period, they were provided only half the required calories for six months and became irritated, frustrated, and demotivated to do any activity.

The last three months were the rehabilitation period, which was the hardest for the participants because of the slow process and mental suffering.

The experiment revealed that hunger affects both physical and mental health for a long period.

Transcript-Oct 4

Chocolate looks, smells, and tastes delicious. Most people say chocolate from Switzerland is the best chocolate. And for more than 170 years, one Swiss candy maker has been making chocolate for the world—Lindt.

Today, the company sells its products in more than 120 countries and has more than 14,000 workers. It all started as a small family business here in Zurich, Switzerland. A man named David Sprüngli-Schwarz opened a small chocolate shop in Zurich. His son Rudolf expanded the business. He managed the shops and built a large factory here in Kilchberg. The company’s main office is still here today.

Rudolf’s son Johann became a partner with another man named Rodolphe—Rodolphe Lindt. Then the company became one of the most famous chocolate makers in the world.

Rodolphe Lindt was an expert chocolate maker, and he made a special machine. This machine made his chocolate smoother and tastier than any other chocolate. It was a big success and changed the chocolate-making process. 

Over the next 100 years, Lindt continued to develop new products. The company became bigger and stronger.

Today, they even have a team of master chocolate makers. They taste the chocolate every day to make sure it tastes good. They also try new flavors to create new products.

Because they try new things and are careful about quality, Lindt and Sprüngli is one of the biggest candy companies in the world. It has factories all over the world and sales of over four billion dollars. That’s pretty good for a small family chocolate shop!
