Dear all,

It's the first for me to do the Transcription.
Even it's just 1 minute, it still takes me a long time to finish the transcription.
I know one expert has post it on the forum. But I want to give it a try without peeking his answer.
So, here is my part ~ (I know it maybe very terrible...)
This is Scientific Americans 60 seconds science. I am Christopher Tanyada, got the min? Scientists finally valify something in New Jersey short starts snooky and polidy has properly known how __. They give you a __ and tan salon maybe addictive. And more often you tan more likely you are get hurt. According to the study of archeology dermatology, researchers started with 2 questionnaires commonly used to a suspension of alcoholic abuse and subcentral__ disorders. But they malazise___ the question to focus on in ___ hobbits. For example, do you try to cut down on that time you spend in tanny and boot but find yourself still tanning? Then I give you a survey to couple hundreds undergraduates …..on average 23 times a year.

My Part: (the same as Christine's)

(bold texts are those parts that I and Christine have different version)


New Jersey scientifics finally found something verify New Jersey show stars Snorky, and Polidia probably no all alone. They get your brown on tanning salon, maybe addicted. And more often you tan, your likely get hurt, according the study of xxx deontology. The researcher started with two
questionnaire commonly used to access for alcoholic abuse and subsaturated disorders. But they modify the questions, and focus on the tanning habits. For, example, do you try to cut down the time you spending in tanning booth, but still find youself tanning. And it gave the survey to couple of hundred undergrad who fake and bake on average 20 times a year. The result 50 students so about xxx xx survey met the author criteria for addiction of xxx. This group also reported great symptoms of anxiety and would more likely use drugs and alcohol. Investgator said drug and tanning length might hoop you through similar means, including pure pressure. As for Snerky, it maybe time for innovation. When ask her would change the word if she could, she said: “I will put tanning bed in everybody’s home.”

Here is the correct transcript I fetched from the Internet. Compared to this one, Wayne's transcript is exactly the same except one minor difference. Really amazing, isn't it?

Multicellular Life Found That Doesn't Need Oxygen

As scientists delve deeper beneath the ocean’s surface, they find bizarre creatures that have adapted to harsh and extreme environments. Now comes a new one—the discovery of the first multicellular animals that survive and reproduce entirely without oxygen.

Researchers had thought that only single-celled organisms such as prokaryotes and protozoa could live in the oxygen-deprived environments of the deepest ocean. When scientists did find multicellular organisms, they assumed that they’d sunk from oxygen-enriched waters.

But over the past decade, scientists in Italy and Denmark sent three expeditions to fetch samples from sediment in what’s known as a deep hypersaline anoxic basin in the Mediterranean. And in these sediments, from almost two miles below the ocean’s surface, they found three distinct species of a tiny multicellular animal phylum called Loricifera.

They don’t have mitochondria. Instead, they seem to have organelles that resemble hydrogenosomes—similar to mitochondria, but that use anaerobic chemistry. Scientists don’t yet fully understand the biochemistry—but the discovery opens the possibility of complex life forms on oxygen-free planets.

delve (into sth): to try to discover new information about it
Ex: to delve into sb's past
Ex: If you're interested in a subject, use the internet to delve deeper.
Ex: This biography delves deep into the artist's private life.

Welcome, Christine.

I've also listened to this broadcast, and I think you really did a great job!

Doing transcribing really helps a lot for improving listening skills, and it's very interesting! Moreover, you will find it's fun to do the same assignments with a small bunch of study partners.

I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to make replies any time to ISG-related threads.

I have compared my versions to Wayne's, Ivy's and JJ's, and I think I really learnt a lot from you. (OMG! I was the only one who didn't recognized the word "tiny". )

Dear All,

I am not going to join the online meeting. I hope you enjoy the discussion and have a nice weekend.

This is my transcript of the last file - Happiness is a walk in the park - revised from Michael's version.

If you listen xxx will going(?) for a walk in the park or working in a garden, you are 20% of the way to giving your mental health a good boost, because exercising in natural areas is not only good for your physical health, it can improve your mood and sense of well-being in as little as 5 minutes, says a research(?) in the General Environmental Health and Technology. Exercise alone is known to make you happier, so is being in a natural setting. So, scientists at the University of xxx wanted to see the effect of combining the two. They evaluated ten different UK studies involving more than 1200 people. Participants had taken part in activities such as gardening, sailing, and country walks and rated their mood and self-esteem. The research showed that both areas get a significant boost with as little as 5 minutes outdoor exercise and people with mental disorder benefited the most. Study author said this is the first study to quantify the amount of time needed to get a positive effect. So, download a few podcasts and head out for a walk in the park.

Dear ISG members,

Just a reminder. Starting from tomorrow, the skype meeting will start at 9 o'clock.

Yes, welcome, Chrisine,
The best way to improve our English is to keep exposing ourselves in Englih.
In this regard, ISG certainly is practicing the theory, and also offering a great diversity of topics.

I found the correct transcript for this podcast on the internet. Here I highlighted the parts I don't get in red as below:

A direct effect on human health related to climate change is the likely increase in infectious diseases transmitted by insects or through contaminated water. In the March 25th issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, infectious disease researcher Emily Shuman points out that insects are more active at higher temperature and broaden their range. Altered weather patterns bring drought to some areas, flooding to others and a higher likelihood of water contamination to both. The World Health Organization predicts a 3 to 5 percent increase in the population at risk from Malaria with the temperature increase of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. And 2 degrees is our best-case scenario right now. The WHO also sees 10 percent more diarrheal diseases related to unclean water by 2030 due to climate change. Shuman urges the development of warning system to spot the disease outbreaks early, along with continued research into treatments and vaccines which she writes, “will go a long way in preventing human suffering that could otherwise occur as a result of climate change.”[/list]

Here is my transcript of the 4th audio file.

If you’ve ever driven up to a mountain pass, you know that the higher you climb the colder you get (it gets). But on clear calm days, it can actually be colder in the valleys. That’s because under high pressure systems cold air slides down mountain slopes and pulls down below. Near Oregon Cascade, ridge line temperature has clocked in(?) at 27 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than those in the valley 2,600 feet below. So what happened when you take this variability and subject to climate changes? Well, a modern estimate from xxx says Western Oregon can warm 5 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century, but that’s probably more accurate for the valleys. Ridge top temperatures could rise as much as 14 degrees, according to research in the international journal of climatology. Oregon is projected to have more high pressure days as the climate changes. That means more cold air pulling in the valleys and more extreme temperature differences, which could disrupt the local ecosystem. We tend to think of climate change as a global or regional phenomenon, but as this research suggest you have to also think locally.

According to Longman:

clock up something phrasal verb
to reach or achieve a particular number or amount:

It seems it fits in the article, but I don't know why it uses "clock in" here

This is what I found:
*When you clock in at work, you arrive there or put a special card into a device to show what time you arrived. Namely, to punch in.

Based on that, I guess here it probably mans ridge line temperature has “checked in” at 27 degrees Fahrenheit (daily) . What do you say??
