Lecture Script:


John, what’s your favorite new word at the moment? Really I don’t have favorite new words, but let’s say that one of my favorite new words is screenager, which is a young person or a teenager who spends a lot of time in front of the computer. Any other favorites, John? Some of those rather unpleasant words like splod, somebody who is socially inept, a splody person, but as I said I don’t really have favorite words because all words as far as I’m concerned are objects of scientific study. And where do these new words and phrases come from? Well, words come out of the culture that they represent and they describe so if you’ve got a new development in medicine, for example bird flu, then you’ll get a new word coming out of that. If there’s a military conflict that may well bring all sorts of new words to the fore. Going back in time the First and Second World Wars were times of great creativity of language because people from different countries met each other and exchanged their words and words developed from there. So really words come from , they come from the playground, they come from politics, they come from any area of life because every area of life is changing from day to day. How do you keep up with the huge weight of new words you must have to evaluate? Well, it’s not just me ,we’ve got something like 60 editors working on the Oxford dictionary and we also have readers and word spotters throughout the world who are sending us information in. In the old days they used to write them out on index cards when they came across some in books, but nowadays they tend to type them onto their computers and send them into the central computer here. It’s an enormous issue ,but one which we just about manage to keep under control. We don’t include words just because we’ve seen one example of them we have to wait for evidence of general currency to build up in our computer files before we start putting the word in the dictionary. So a lot of the time it’s collecting data, letting it build up and then reviewing it and seeing what you’ve got and so that’s how we manage the work.

🖥 Genetic engineering, the manipulation of an organism's DNA to alter its characteristics, has made significant strides in recent years, offering promising advancements in medicine, agriculture, and other fields. However, it also raises profound ethical questions that must be carefully considered.
One of the primary benefits of (1) genetic engineering is its potential to cure genetic disorders and diseases. By editing the genes responsible for conditions such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, (2) scientists can provide patients with life-saving treatments. For example, CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing technology, has shown promise in correcting genetic mutations, offering hope to millions of individuals suffering from hereditary diseases.
Additionally, (3) genetic engineering in agriculture can lead to the development of crops with enhanced nutritional value, increased resistance to pests, and improved tolerance to environmental stressors. These advancements can help address food security challenges and improve global health outcomes.
Despite these benefits, (4) genetic engineering also raises significant ethical concerns. One major issue is the potential for unintended consequences. (5) Altering an organism's genetic makeup can have unpredictable effects on its overall health and the environment. For instance, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may (6) inadvertently harm beneficial insects or lead to the development of resistant pests.
Furthermore, the use of genetic engineering in humans, particularly in the context of designer babies, raises questions about eugenics and inequality. The ability to select or enhance specific traits, such as intelligence or physical appearance, could lead to a society where genetic enhancements are accessible only to the wealthy, exacerbating social disparities.
There are also concerns about the long-term effects of genetic modifications on future generations. (7) Genetic changes made today could have irreversible impacts on the human gene pool, raising questions about our responsibility to future generations.
In conclusion, while (8) genetic engineering offers significant benefits in terms of medical advancements and agricultural improvements, it also presents (9) complex ethical dilemmas that must be carefully navigated. It is essential for policymakers, scientists, and ethicists (10) to engage in an ongoing dialogue to ensure that genetic engineering is used responsibly and equitably.

▪️ Sample Key:

1️⃣The potential of genetic engineering in curing genetic disorders and diseases.
2️⃣Life-saving treatments provided by scientists for patients.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in various sectors, influencing the way we work and live. (1) Its impact on employment is profound and multifaceted, presenting both potential benefits and significant challenges.
One of the key benefits of AI in the workforce is increased efficiency and productivity. (2) AI-powered systems can perform tasks faster and more accurately than humans, leading to higher output and reduced errors. For example, in manufacturing, (3) AI-driven robots can assemble products with precision, significantly reducing production time and costs. Additionally, AI can handle repetitive and mundane tasks, freeing up human workers to focus on more creative and strategic activities.
However, (4) the integration of AI into the workforce also poses substantial drawbacks. One major concern is job displacement. As AI systems become more sophisticated, there is a growing fear that many jobs, particularly those involving routine tasks, will become obsolete. For instance, (5) self-checkout machines in retail stores and automated customer service chatbots are replacing human workers, leading to unemployment and social unrest.
Moreover, the rise of AI demands a workforce with advanced technical skills. Employees must continuously (6) adapt and acquire new knowledge to remain relevant in an AI-driven job market. (7) This shift can be particularly challenging for older workers who may struggle to keep pace with rapid technological advancements.
Despite these challenges, (8) AI also creates new job opportunities in emerging fields such as AI development, data analysis, and cybersecurity. (9) Companies are investing in AI research and development, leading to the creation of specialized roles that require a deep understanding of AI technologies.
In conclusion, while (10) AI offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity, it also presents challenges related to job displacement and the need for continuous skill development. It is crucial for governments, businesses, and educational institutions to collaborate in addressing these issues, ensuring that the workforce is equipped to thrive in an AI-driven future.

▪️ Sample Key:

1️⃣ Its profound and multifaceted impact on employment
2️⃣ Faster and more accurate performance of AI-powered systems
3️⃣ The products' precise assembly by AI-driven robots

Lecture Script:


Over the past few months, the government has been pushing to remove all advertising outlets for the tobacco industry, and in particular pushing for plain packaging. The tobacco industry, however, are against this and they in particular argue that the cigarette box is not a form of advertising. Michaela has been doing her PhD looking at cigarette advertising and how it’s changed over the last 50 years.
Basically, I’ve accessed advertising from the tobacco industry since the 1950s and just analyze the images and looked at the use of the cigarette box within the adverts. In the very early adverts, the cigarette box is a very small part of the adverts and they focus much more on the social aspects of smoking. However, as you move through the decades and get closer to the present day, the cigarette box became more and more of a focal point in the adverts.
My argument is that the cigarette box has actually become iconic to each brand. So when a smoker takes a box out of their pocket, they are actually advertising that brand.
So what we hope will come out of this is that the government will introduce plain packaging. And like Australia who have already introduced its policy and Ireland who are again beginning to introduce its policy, we hope that the UK will stop cigarette companies from using their box as a form of advertising.
