Can you help me check the script of this video? (English Listening) Starts from 6:13 to 9:00 in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTl7kFQL39c Words in ( ) are what I can't make out or not certain. Please check for other errors if you see any. Thank you very much! There are a lot of different types of service dogs. Guide dogs help people who are blind or visually impaired. Hearing dogs can alert the hearing impaired to sounds in the area around them. Mobility assistance animals can open doors and pick up things that have been dropped. And for the highly trainable canine with an adventurous spirit, there`s avalanche rescue. Every year, more than 150 people worldwide are killed in avalanches. The most common causes of death are suffocation, trauma, and, to a lesser degree, hypothermia. Since the human body is 3 times denser than avalanche debris, we sink more quickly and once the avalanche stops, it gets so packed, it`s like hardened concrete. That`s why rescue dogs are so important. It would take rescue workers 4 hours to search a little over 2 acres. A rescue dog can cover the same terrain in just about 30 minutes. “And it doesn`t matter if they`ve smelled the person before or not?” (It`s like us using our eyes). They`re running around smelling. We`ve trained them from a very young age to recognize that human scent and pursue it to the source. “What makes a dog stand out to you and say that`s the kind of dog that we need?” We want a dog that`s brave, that`s got a lot of confidence. The entire search training that they do is just a big game. Due to word limit, I will post the rest of the script in comment

A short GRE question that puzzles me Exotic insect pests can produce both short-and long-term effects on forest ecosystems. Shortterm effects include the disturbances directly associated with the action of the pest, which may cause the defoliation, loss of vigor, or death of trees. Long-term effects are primarily mediated by changes in tree species composition and the consequent alterations of forest structure, productivity, and nutrient uptake. Exotic pests are more efficient than most abiotic disturbances (e.g., fire or wind) at producing long-term changes in species composition. Pests often target specific tree species and, if they become established, they usually remain as permanent components of the ecosystem. Shifts in forest species composition ramify through the ecosystem in many ways because tree species have different, often unique properties. The author of the passage mentions the “unique properties” of tree species primarily in order to help explain   A. why pests tend to target specific tree species B. why pests can have long-term effects on entire ecosystems C. how pests contribute to shifts in forest species composition D. how pests are able to become established in an ecosystem E. how some tree species are able to withstand the effects of pests I think it's B, the answer given online is C (usually correct, but not 100% and not from the official test organization either). My logic is, because the "shifts in forest species composition ramify through the ecosystem", the author wants to emphasize that pests have ultimate effect on the ecosystem. Thank you very much for help!

What does this sentence mean in this context? This is from part of a video about Daylight Saving Time. William Willett was a Englishman and who invented and advocated Daylight Saving Time. "......Willett died before he saw his idea put into action to save coal for the war effort. But it was adopted at first by the Germans, not the British. Postcards warned the population about the shift and why they owed it to their country not to forget. The British followed a few weeks later...and America came on board in 1918" I'm confused about the line "Postcards warned the population....and why they owed it to their country not to forget". Does it mean "it warned the German people that they owed, or borrowed this one hour and have to give it back later"? THANK YOU!

Can you help me check the transcript of this clip? (English Listening) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYzRi-OZi5Y This is a short clip about Magna Carta. From 2:30. Words in ( ) are what I can't make out or not certain of. Please check for other errors if you see any. Thank you very much! Salisbury Cathedral, southwest of London, once magnificently the tallest building in medieval England. For as long as it stood with its great Gothic arches, it`s been custodian of a very rare piece of sheepskin parchment, one of the four original copies of Magna Carta from 1215. Written neatly and densely in a tiny hand, some 4,000 words in Latin, a medieval charter with profound symbolism for our personal liberties. REV. ROBIN GRIFFITH-JONES, MASTER, TEMPLE CHURCH: It`s not all that much to look at, is it? and it`s true. If you read most of its clauses, you lose the will to live, you know, it`s about fishing rights in the (???), rabbiting rights in the royal forests. Right in the middle, (a middle is dreary stuff??), you reach clause 39, “No free man will be arrested, dispossessed, exiled, imprisoned or in any way harmed, except by the law of the land or the judgment of his equals.” Clause 40, "To no man will we delay or deny right or justice." (???). The first words are "John, by the Grace of God, King of England,” J for John. At the end, there is Runnymede, the place where Magna Carta was ratified in anno Domini, the year of our Lord 1215. Magna Carta was agreed at a place called Runnymede, a water meadow by the river Thames. King John, murderous, lecherous and much hated, coerced by the barons to put his royal seal on the charter for the included basic human rights. In time, as we know, Magna Carta has come to symbolize our basic personal liberties, some 2 billion people now live under its principles of common law. The story cast in bronze on the doors of the American Supreme Court, a golden copy in English etched on glass in the (???) beneath the houses of Congress. 800 years on, a very English feudal document remains at the very heart of the American constitution.

What does "understated" mean in this sentence? This is from the very beginning of an American drama television series "Felicity". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiSd5OgLXug&feature=youtu.be Transcript: Dear Sally: you should probably be sitting down for this. First of all, everything was perfectly fine. I mean, you know, on paper. High school was going exactly as it was suppose to. I mean, in three months, I'd be at Stanford pre-med; then in four years in Stanford med school. Then I'd start my four year residency at one of the Stanford hospital. My dad was thrilled. You know, because he's basically had my life planned out for me since I was pretty much a zygote. I was surrounded by people actually looking forward to their lives. My parents' reaction was typically understated. At 1:19, she said "My parents' reaction was typically understated." I'm confused what "understated" means here. My guesses are below but I don't know which is ture, if ever. 1) Literally, according to Webster dictionary, "avoiding obvious emphasis or embellishment". Which means their reaction was very calm. (but the shot shows her parents were apparently very excited?) 2)Her parents were very thirilled inside. Their reaction was already calmer compared to what they feel inside. 3)She's being ironic, saying "understated" while in fact they were being excited. Thank you very much for help!

What did this man say here? (English Listening) From 8:09: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux5nUILZ644 This is part of a conversation where the man and the doctor were talking about sugar in foods. The man was trying to line up foods in order of the amount of sugar. At 8:28, what did he say that sounds like "mingle c" iced tea? At 8:49, did he say "it's like going to the fountain except for it...."? I'm not sure at the "fountain" part, and does it mean to drink water from the water fountain? Thank you for help!
