- Each winter, North Pacific gray whales migrate from the waters around Alaska to Laguna San Ignacio, a windy lagoon on Baja's Pacific coast, where they give birth to and care for their young before going back north. Part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, San Ignacio is also home to four endangered marine turtle species and attracts sea lions and elephant seals. This is not a place for spending time on the beach with a cocktail. It's for real nature lovers: the area is protected and undeveloped. (The Wall Street Journal, March 24 2022; adapted)

- Engineers at Stanford University have developed solar panels that can generate clean electricity at night. The data shows that the Stanford device can serve as a continuous power source. It incorporates a thermoelectric generator, which can produce electricity from the small difference in temperature between the air and the solar cell itself. It wasn't until recently that solar energy declined in price and became much cheaper. Some companies have already joined the new solar program, while California is investing money to change to solar quickly. (npr.org, Apr 4 2022; adapted)

- Erasmus mobility is a great opportunity to enjoy something different, whether you want to attend university courses or take part in training projects abroad. Studying and living abroad, according to some student interviews, is never easy and it is a big step, but this experience definitely improves not only professional knowledge but also personal skills. The most difficult part of going abroad is deciding where to go, but the location is not really important because one of the most popular reasons to go on an Erasmus mobility exchange is to visit new places and see how big and amazing the world is. (Adapted from Erasmus+ EU programme for education, training, youth, and sport)

- Erech was located northwest of Ur (Tall Al-Muqayyar) in southeastern Iraq. One of the greatest cities of Sumer, it was enclosed by brickwork walls about 10 km in circumference, supposedly built by Gilgamesh. In the early 20th century, excavations traced successive cities within the walls: they date from the prehistoric Ubaid period (around 5000 Before Christ) down to Parthian times (second Century After Death). Urban life in the Erech-Jamdat Nasr period (3500- 2900 Before Christ) is more fully illustrated at Erech than any other Mesopotamiam city. (Britannica.com/.../Erech; adapted)

- Eurotalk is a London-based company that makes educational software. Recently, their Onebillion project has been in the news, especially since their maths learning app for children in Malawi was shown to improve learning. Dr Nicola Pitchford, a psychologist from the University of Nottingham, found that children using the app improved their knowledge about maths in just eight weeks. The name 'Onebillion' comes from the 'goal of reaching one billion children'. This is more or less the number of children who don't have the opportunity to learn basic skills, says Andrew Ashe, who started Eurotalk. (Adapted from British Council)

- Every year, thousands of young people in Britain leave home in search of a more exciting life. Many of them go to London, attracted by the night life, clubs and the hope of finding work. However, teenagers who leave school with few or no qualifications find it very hard to get jobs even in London, and some become homeless. Before leaving home, these young people should consider that although London offers more jobs than most other British cities, they are not always good jobs, and living on your own often turns out to be just a dream.

- Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night's sleep every night. A study of 848 students in Wales showed that teenagers face a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at appropriate times but a growing number wake up in the middle of the night to check social media. Experts are worried about that and the reports reveal these statistics. Roughly half of the students aged 12-15 say they wake up nearly every night to use social media. Almost one in three students of this age say they are constantly tired. (Adapted from British Council)
