Eight pieces of jewelry were stolen from the Louvre in France, OpenAI launched the "AI Browser," Leonardo DiCaprio's new film receives acclaim but lacks box office success, and kiwi is beneficial for alleviating constipation. From October 20 to 23, at 12:30 PM during the live class of "Zhang Chaoyang's English Class," Sohu's founder, chairman, and CEO Zhang Chaoyang continued to present hot international news in English. Covering the latest developments in AI, groundbreaking medical research, global events, and folk stories, he guided the audience through world affairs while helping them memorize industry-specific English vocabulary.
October is dedicated to Sohu Video's "American Drama Month" and also represents English Learning Month. In the latest October 23 episode of "Zhang Chaoyang's English Class," Zhang introduced Amazon's announcement of AR glasses developed specifically for delivery drivers. These glasses come equipped with a built-in display that projects parcel information directly into the driver's line of sight, reducing the frequency at which they need to look down at their phones. Earlier in the class, Zhang also mentioned OpenAI's launch of the ChatGPT Atlas browser aimed at challenging Google Chrome. ChatGPT Atlas eliminates the address bar, a key component of search functionality, and is set to be launched on Apple’s MacOS.
In the realm of medical research, Zhang shared the latest findings from a British research team. Recent studies from King's College London and the University of Oxford ranked antidepressants for the first time, revealing that long-term use of agomelatine and fluvoxamine can lead to significant weight changes, while nortriptyline and doxepin can affect blood pressure. Another study from King's College London indicated that foods like kiwi, oatmeal bread, and mineral water can effectively improve bowel regularity.
In the cultural sector, Zhang analyzed the political thriller "Killers of the Flower Moon," starring acclaimed actor Leonardo DiCaprio, which has received rave reviews and is hailed as a "masterpiece." However, the film is projected to fall short of breaking even at the box office. Why is DiCaprio's movie critically praised but not commercially successful? Why are fewer people visiting cinemas?
The recent heist at the Louvre has garnered significant attention internationally. During the October 20 class, Zhang disassembled the incident, revealing that four thieves brazenly stole eight pieces of jewelry in just seven minutes in broad daylight and escaped on scooters, leaving their whereabouts unknown. How could such a serious crime occur in a world-renowned museum, and how did the thieves execute their plan so successfully?
For nine years, "Zhang Chaoyang's English Class" has utilized international news as a medium to integrate English learning with global geography, economic policies, and cultural knowledge, allowing audiences to acquire new insights while mastering professional English expressions across various fields.
To hear Zhang Chaoyang's interpretations of fresh international news, join him live on Sohu Video from Monday to Thursday at 12:30 PM, and be part of the English learning community this month. Sohu Video's "American Drama Party" will also kick off at the end of October, featuring celebrity guests reenacting classic American drama roles and celebrating the grandeur of American dramas.
