1. Translate the following paragraph about Michael Jackson. (fyr: U7A4)
Michael Jackson is one of the world’s most prominent humanitarians and philanthropists.
Many of Michael Jackson’s lyrics reflect his hopes for and love of peace. Off stage, Jackson
was a shy and reclusive person. Most tabloid headlines focused on his eccentricities and the
alleged accusation of child molestation. These stories of his odd behavior started to
overshadow Jackson’s talent. In 2009, Jackson passed away and the entire world seemed to
stop to moan his death.
1. Translation
Translate the following instruction about a type of meditation:
Over the past 20 years, mindfulness-based programs have become increasingly important to
Westerners and in the Western medical and psychological community as a means of helping
people, whether they be clinically sick or healthy. Several methods are used during time set aside
specifically for mindfulness meditation, such as body scan techniques or letting thought arise and
pass, and also during our daily lives, such as being aware of the taste and texture of the food that
we eat. Scientifically demonstrated benefits of mindfulness practice include an increase in the
body's ability to heal and a shift from a tendency to use the right prefrontal cortex instead of the
left prefrontal cortex, associated with a trend away from depression and anxiety, and towards
happiness, relaxation, and emotional balance.
