I think this is one of the most interesting topics. 

I'm really interested in scientific discoveries. I'm fond of biology. It explains how nature and our bodies work. It helps us understand our place in the natural world and our impact on the planet. In my opinion nature is really interesting and beautiful.

There are many important scientific discoveries, like antibiotics, the DNA or vaccines. These discoveries make our lives healthier and longer. Without antibiotics many people died from pneumonia, before vaccines were invented many people died of polio or diphteria. DNA techology helps catch criminals or prevent diseases.

Modern inventions and technology make our lives easier and more interesting. We can use electricity to heat or light our homes, recharge our phones and laptops. We can save a lot of time if we use washing machines, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners.

There are many techological devices in our home. We use our laptops, phones, televisions every day. They have advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes I feel that I waste my time watching tiktoks or youtube videos. On the other hand: we can learn new things and find a lot of useful information on the internet.

Ma arról beszéltünk, hogy lehet kifejezni az angolban a JÖVŐ időt, azaz FUTURE-t!

Attól függ, mit szeretnél kifejezni.

1. A legegyszerűbb a folyamatos jelent használni, jövő idős időhatározóval.

I'm going to the hairdressers. I'm having dinner with my teammates. (ez ugye MOST zajlik).

Ha megtoldod egy időhatározóval, lehet olyan jövőben történő cselekvés, amit már leszerveztél. Azaz van időpont a fodrásznál, van étteremfoglalás.

I'm going to the hairdressers. TOMORROW.  I'm having dinner with my teammates ON TUESDAY EVENING.

2. Ha menetrendekről, músorok kezési időpontjáróli van szó, használd az egyszerű jelent.

The bus leaves at 7 am. The film starts at 8pm.

Figyelj!!!!!!!

I'm going to the cinema with my friends tonight. The film starts at 8pm.

Smuggling is the illegal transporting of goods. These goods can be legal, such as alcohol and tobacco, or illegal, such as drugs and arms. Illegal trafficking of immigrants is also a form of smuggling.

Human trafficking: is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit. Men, women and children of all ages and from all backgrounds can become victims of this crime, which occurs in every region of the world.

Many victims of human trafficking are used to ferry drugs across international borders. Popularly known as 'drug mules', the victims are made to swallow balloons containing illicit drugs and are then transported across borders.  Once they have reached their destination, these balloons are retrieved from the victim's body.

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification or genetic manipulation, refers to the process of altering the genetic material of an organism by introducing or removing specific genes. It involves manipulating the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of an organism to achieve desired traits or characteristics.

Purpose: there are various reasons: improve crops, develop medical treatments, conduct scientific research

Technique: recombinant DNA technology, gene editing tools

Applications: in agriculture: GM crops with traits like herbicide tolerance, pest resistance or improved nutritional content.

Benefits: increased crop yields, improved medical treatment, new therapies for genetic disorders

Concerns and ethical considerations: potential unintended consequenses on biodiversity, ecosystems and human  health. 

Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals can all be cloned. Some clones already exist in nature. Single-celled organisms like bacteria make exact copies of themselves each time they reproduce.

Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female Finn-Dorset sheep and the first mammal that was cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland.

The pros of GMO crops are that they may contain more nutrients, are grown with fewer pesticides, and are usually cheaper than their non-GMO counterparts. The cons of GMO foods are that they may cause allergic reactions because of their altered DNA and they may increase antibiotic resistance.
