In this English lesson, we'll read a BBC News article together.

And as we read the article, you'll learn advanced English vocabulary in context.

You'll learn the correct grammar and the correct pronunciation at the same time.

This is an advanced article discussing a new study on reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

If you can understand this article, your English is excellent.

Welcome back to J4S English.

Of course, I'm Jennifer Nell.

Let's get started.

Our headline, Amazing Reduction in Alzheimer's Risk Verified by Blood Markers, Study Says.

First, let's talk about the pronunciation of this word, Alzheimer's.

So notice this beginning is pronounced like the name, Al, Al.

Now this is pronounced as an S, Psy.

And this H is not hurt.

Alzheimer's.

Now it has this apostrophe S.

It's showing possession because it's Alzheimer's disease.

But often they don't say disease, but you still keep the apostrophe S and it's just implied that it's disease.

Now let's look at this structure.

Reduction.

This is a noun.

It's a something.

So notice you have reduction in something.

Maybe your teacher says to you, I've noticed a reduction.

So this is a noun.

That's why you need an article here.

I've noticed a reduction in your mistakes.

Great job.

Now let's review this sentence.

I've noticed a reduced number of mistakes and then potentially in your writing,

in your speech in your presentation.

And again, great job.

So notice here, a number of, that's the noun phrase and you use of, in this case of mistakes,

reduced functions as an adjective, and it tells you more information about the number.

I'm sharing this because it's very common to use reduced risk of something.

For example, a healthy diet could reduce.

So here reduce is a verb.

Could is a modal.

It means there's a possibility, but it isn't guaranteed.

Now for sentence structure, you have modal plus base verb.

So that's why we have reduce.

A healthy diet could reduce your risk of Alzheimer's.

So notice those preposition changes and sentence structure changes.

In this case, reduction again is a noun.

Amazing reduction in Alzheimer's risk.

Now, amazing, this is in quotations because it means someone directly said that.

So in this case, this is what the study said.

So in the study, they used the word amazing.

And of course, amazing is a very positive adjective.

Very, very, very good or great.

You can say amazing.

So hopefully you're thinking learning English with the news is.

And here are some alternatives that also mean very, very, very good.

Incredible, remarkable, extraordinary, or amazing.

So if you agree with that, put amazing, put amazing in the comments so I know you enjoy this lesson.

And don't worry about taking notes because I summarize everything in a free lesson PDF.

You can find the link in the description.

Let's keep reading.

When Penny Ashford's father was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's disease.

So here, notice they added disease.

You could just say early stage Alzheimer's, but you would still keep that apostrophe S to show possession, even if you don't have the word disease.

And notice you're diagnosed with something and it's to be diagnosed with something.

So her father was diagnosed because it's the simple past.

It's a completed past action, was diagnosed with something, with Alzheimer's.

And then early stage is an adjective.

It tells you the severity of the degree.

Severity represents how severe.

So we could have on a scale of zero to 10, and then zero would be the least severe.

and then 10 would be the most severe.

And then this scale is severity.

How severe is the illness or the disease?

As a question, you could ask someone how severe is the illness?

So severe is an adjective.

Or you could ask what's the severity of the illness?

And severity is a noun.

This is probably the most common in an everyday context.

And then this is more of a technical term.

Like I said, you might be trying to understand on a scale the severity of it.

When Penny Ashford's father, so again, this possessive here, this apostrophe S is because the father belongs to Penny.

Now, Penny, this is a female name.

So you would say her father, her father when her father was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's disease at age 62.

So at age and then 62.

Notice the sentence structure here.

You could also say at 62 or at 62 years old.

You could use years old if you did not use the word age.

This is a more formal way of using it at age 62.

I wrote those two options for you.

Now, you can also use the more standard term, which is when he was 62.

Now, you can just use the number.

If you want, you can say 62 years old, but you can't just say 62 years.

You must use years old.

And notice there's an S because it's plural.

So when he was 62.

At age 62, this sounds the most formal.

Let's keep going.

She knew the devastating brain disorder might one day steal her memory.

Now notice here, this might one day is a time reference.

And the next verb is steal.

So might is our modal, modal verb of possibility and steal is our main verb.

100

It's in the base verb because modal plus base verb.

101

Now one day is suggesting that it's unknown and it's unknown if it will happen or is unknown when it will happen.

102

So it adds more possibility or mystery to it.

103

So here's a medical vocabulary question for you.

104

Her father has the disease.

105

She's worried that she might get the disease.

106

That means the disease is, do you know what the word is?

107

If the disease is passed from father to daughter or mother to son,

108

from parent to child, the disease is called hereditary.

109

Is that what you said?

110

Hereditary.

111

So that means it's genetic.

112

It's in your genes because the child gets the genes of the parent.

113

Hereditary.

114

Let's review this sentence.

115

At age 43.

116

So notice I'm using this at the very beginning as a phrase to introduce it.

117

So you can do that as well.

118

This at age 62 or any of the options I gave you, you can have this at the very beginning as a phrase.

119

At age 43, she was diagnosed.

120

So the verb to be, of course, in the past simple, she was diagnosed with a disease.

121

And then you can use hereditary.

122

Notice that H is pronounced hereditary, hereditary.

123

This is an adjective with a hereditary disease.

124

So this isn't the name of a disease.

125

It indicates how you get the disease.

126

So it means a disease that you inherited from your parents genetically.

127

This is just an example.

128

It's not related to the story.

129

Let's keep going.

130

In her late fifties.

131

So we're talking about Penny Ashford.

132

Her father was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's.

133

She's concerned she might get Alzheimer's because it's hereditary,

134

which is implied by this article in her late fifties.

135

Notice this.

136

If you did not have this word in her fifties,

137

it means penny could be 50 or 59 or any number in between in her fifties.

138

So the decade of fifties from 50 to 59, but late fifties to me sounds like 57, 58, 59.

139

That sounds like late fifties.

140

Now we have two other names, two other adjectives to describe this, this category.

141

Do you know what they are?

142

There's early, mid and late early fifties of course is 50,

143

51, 52, 53, mid fifties, 54, 55, 56, and then late fifties.

144

So this is a way of giving someone an approximation of how old you are without specifically stating the exact age.

145

In her late 50s, her free-floating anxiety turned into outright panic when she began struggling to find words.

146

Let's review these adjectives here.

147

We have free-floating anxiety.

148

So what is free floating?

149

Well, if you have a speech that you're giving tomorrow and you feel anxious,

150

anxiety, that is not free floating because you know the cause you're anxious because you're giving a speech tomorrow.

151

If you don't have a speech tomorrow, you have nothing on the calendar is just a regular Sunday day,

152

Sunday day is a regular Sunday and you have nothing specific to cause you concern,

153

but you still feel anxiety.

154

That's free floating.

155

So it's a general feeling is not caused by something specific.

156

So you can't identify why you feel anxious.

157

So her free floating anxiety turned into,

158

this is the phrasal verb form of became, became outright panic.

159

So outright represents full, complete.

160

So complete panic, full panic.

161

And panic is a very intense feeling, more intense than anxiety.

162

And then this is the cause, when she began struggling to find words.

163

170

Now let's continue with our lesson.

171

Remember her anxiety turned into became panic, full, complete panic, outright panic when she began struggling to find words.

172

I couldn't tell a story.

173

I couldn't get my words out, said Ashford, now 61.

174

So remember she was in her late 50s, now 61.

175

This is a specific number, obviously.

176

You could also say now in her early 60s.

177

But if you use that, notice the additional preposition in, and then the decade belongs to the person.

178

So the possessive pronoun now in her early sixties, that's what 61 is early sixties.

179

Let's keep going.

180

I remember sitting at a dinner party one time and I couldn't finish my thoughts.

181

Notice here we have one time, But where are we on a timeline?

182

Are we past, present, or future?

183

We're in the past.

184

So one time is an unspecific time reference for the past.

185

And previously, we learned that one day is an unspecific time reference for the future.

186

You've probably said, I want to speak confidently one day.

187

one day, an unspecific time in the future.

188

Of course you want that sooner rather than later, which is why I'm here to help.

189

Let's review this again.

190

I remember sitting.

191

Notice here we have the gerund verb.

192

When you're thinking about something in the past, we use remember plus gerund.

193

I remember being a student.

194

I remember talking to my mom about that problem.

195

I remember creating that lesson for my students, but remember plus infinitive that's for the future.

196

It's giving someone an instruction to do.

197

Remember to like this lesson.

198

Remember to subscribe.

199

So you haven't done it yet.

200

I'm assuming.

201

So that's an instruction for the present, near present, or the future.

202

But for the past, we use the gerund verb.

203

I remember sitting at a dinner party one time and I couldn't finish my thoughts.

204

So couldn't, this is the, the modal verb can in the past.

205

I can do that.

206

I couldn't do that yesterday.

207

I can do that now.

208

I can do that tomorrow.

209

I couldn't do that yesterday.

210

So can for the present or future couldn't for the past.

211

I couldn't finish my thoughts at that unspecified time in the past.

212

It was the most unbelievable moment.

213

I came home and sobbed.

214

What does this mean?

215

I came home and sobbed.

216

To sob is to cry uncontrollably, to cry very hard.

217

So to have a lot of tears and for them to come down very quickly.

218

So the verb is to sob.

219

And then of course, this is in the past simple.

220

I came home and sobbed and told my husband, something is wrong with me.

221

Now notice here, this is in quotation marks as well.

222

The story is in the past, but when she said this, she was saying it in the moment.

223

So that's why it's in the present simple.

224

Something is wrong with me.

225

I can't talk.

226

She said I was petrified.

227

I was petrified.

228

So she's thinking about this time at the past when she couldn't finish her thoughts.

229

She was petrified.

230

Do you know what petrified means?

231

It means extremely scared.

232

Let's keep going today.

233

After a complete revamp of her lifestyle and overall health, Ashford struggles with retrieving words have eased.

234

Notice here we have Ashford's struggles.

235

So struggles is a noun and they belong, the struggles, they belong to her.

236

Her last name is Ashford.

237

That's why we have this possessive here.

238

Ashford's struggles, her struggles.

239

Now you can use with, and then a gerund verb because with is a preposition.

240

If you write this as a normal clause,

241

subject, verb, object, then you would say Ashford struggles to retrieve words.

242

So struggle is a regular verb.

243

It, an infinitive follows it but this is the noun form and you use with,

244

and then a gerund and her struggles have eased.

245

This means the severity.

246

Remember we talked about the word severity, how severe something is the severity.

247

The severity has gone down.

248

So have ease to ease.

249

It's gone down or it's lessened.

250

It's become less, less bad have eased.

251

Now let's go back because you might be wondering about this word after a complete revamp of her lifestyle and overall health.

252

So she revamped this area, her lifestyle and this area as well, her overall health.

253

It means that she completely changed them with the goal of improving them.

254

This word is commonly used in a variety of contexts.

255

So the verb is revamp.

256

You might say, I need to revamp my website.

257

So you completely change the layout, the design, the colors, the photos.

258

And of course, your goal is improving the website by doing that.

259

I need to revamp my website.

260

Maybe it's your schedule when you do things because you have no time to study English.

261

So you need to revamp your schedule or your wardrobe.

262

Your wardrobe represents all the clothes available to you.

263

So everything in your closet or drawers, that's your wardrobe.

264

So you throw out all your clothes, you donate them, and then you get new clothes.

265

You revamp your wardrobe.

266

So let's read this again.

267

And today, after a complete revamp of her lifestyle and overall health, Ashford's struggles with retrieving words have eased.

268

While measures of amyloid and tau proteins, I don't know what these are, to be honest with you.

269

They're proteins.

270

They're the name of specific proteins.

271

But the average native speaker would not know what these are.

272

A medical professional would know what they are.

273

So there's no need for you to know what these are unless you are studying to become a medical professional.

274

But protein, that's an important word that the general public would know.

275

While measures of amyloid and tau proteins and neuroinflammation,

276

I only have a general idea of what this is as a person with a non-medical background.

277

Inflammation.

278

And then, well, what type of inflammation?

279

neuro.

280

So neuro represents having to do with your brain, your neurology.

281

So neuro inflammation.

282

So inflammation represents swelling and areas that are affected and neuro inflammation,

283

all hallmark signs of Alzheimer's.

284

So they're, they're telling us why they identified these specific proteins and this word neuroinflammation because they're hallmark signs of Alzheimer's.

285

So here the word hallmark would represent the defining signs,

286

the most important signs.

287

So if you have these proteins in your body,

288

then you probably have a higher risk of Alzheimer's because they're hallmark signs.

289

So defining or determining signs.

290

And in her case, they've fallen.

291

They have fallen.

292

So of course, there's a reduction.

293

Ashford knows about these improvements

294

because she's part of a unique study tracking her progress via key blood biomarkers now being used to help diagnose early dementia.

295

So notice here we have unique and then we have this article.

296

Ah, now you've learned that you change your article,

297

ah, or an, depending on the beginning of the next word. And what's the rule?

298

It's a vowel, right?

299

But it's a vowel sound.

300

So it's not in spelling.

301

It's in pronunciation.

302

Most of the time, the vowel spelling does match the article.

303

But this is pronounced as you, you.

304

So it's actually a consonant sound.

305

And that's why we have ah, ah, unique.

306

And it's easier to say a unique than an unique.

307

Your mouth has more difficulty with an unique.

308

And that's the only reason why we change it between a and an is to make pronunciation easier.

309

And it's easier to say a unique, a unique.

310

Notice you use a little bit of a y glide, a unique, a unique study, a unique study.

311

And also notice here we have the word diagnose, but it's being used as the active verb form.

312

So to be diagnosed with, you're receiving the diagnosis.

313

Diagnosis is the noun form.

314

To be diagnosed with, you're receiving it.

315

Your main verb in that case is the verb to be.

316

Diagnosed is always in the third form.

317

But this is the active form of the verb to diagnose, to diagnose.

318

So let's review this together.

319

The doctor diagnoses the patient.

320

So this is the active form of the verb to diagnose.

321

The doctor diagnoses the patients.

322

The doctor shares his diagnosis or her diagnosis.

323

So in this case, diagnosis is a noun and it belongs to the doctor.

324

the patients are diagnosed with an illness by the doctor.

325

And this is the passive form.

326

So the verb is to be, that's what you need to conjugate.

327

And in this case, diagnose is the verb that you conjugate.

328

Let's continue.

329

Instead of relying on painful spinal taps and expensive brain scans,

330

These blood tests, so remember it was the blood tests here in this unique study.

331

These blood tests are heralded as a new,

332

less invasive and time-consuming way to determine risk and aid in an earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's.

333

So notice here, diagnosis and diagnosis.

334

So diagnosis is the noun form, like we saw here, diagnosis,

335

diagnosis of an illness, diagnosis of Alzheimer's.

336

Now, if something is heralded as something else, it means that it's publicly praised as something.

337

So for sentence structure, you would have something that's being publicly praised let's use chat GPT in this article,

338

it was these blood tests.

339

So that's why we have are because your verb to be needs to of course match the subject.

340

So in our article, it's plural.

341

In my example, it's singular chat GPT is heralded.

342

So we always use this in the third form of the verb heralded as you need that preposition as,

343

but now we need a noun.

344

So here I have a tool, for learning languages, but I want to make it sound more impressive.

345

So I added this adjective, a groundbreaking tool for learning languages.

346

So publicly praised.

347

Let's continue the preliminary data.

348

So the preliminary data, it's the data that's first available.

349

So it's not all data.

350

It's just the first available, first analyzed, the first data.

351

The preliminary data presented Monday at the American Academy of Neurology

352

annual meeting in San Diego analyzed biomarkers on 54 participants in an ongoing preventative neurology study.

353

So ongoing means that it doesn't have a definitive end date.

354

It's ongoing.

355

Now, I think this is the second time we saw the word biomarker here just in the plural, and we didn't discuss it before.

356

So a biomarker, my understanding, my non-medical background understanding is a biomarker is something in our body.

357

So our blood, our protein,

358

something in our body that you can look at to identify certain things such as the presence

359

or absence of disease or other markers, which would represent categories for your health or wellness.

360

So that's my very basic non-technical understanding of it.

361

If you have a medical background and you want to share a more advanced understanding, feel free.

362

Alzheimer's blood tests are the key to widespread prevention of dementia, experts say.

363

So the key, the most important.

364

So are critical, are crucial, are the most important to widespread prevention.

365

Let's keep going.

366

If people can be diagnosed, so the people are receiving, right?

367

So that's why it's in the passive.

368

If people can be diagnosed in their doctor's office.

369

So said another way, it would be if the doctor can diagnose people in their office,

370

the office now belonging to the doctor in their office.

371

So if people can be diagnosed in their doctor's office,

372

they can more immediately move into preventative care and implement lifestyle changes designed to slow the progression of their disease.

373

So what I did here is an excellent exercise

374

that you can do to really push yourself to force you to use different forms,

375

different grammatical structures of one word.

376

So take one word and see how you can change it.

377

That really shows your level of fluency and how well you truly understand the language.

378

So this is a great exercise.

379

So everything I highlighted, you can change it to the active form and say, if doctors, oh, this actually,

380

this apostrophe is in the wrong place because right now this is one doctor.

381

Now, if that's true, then I need an article because a singular noun like doctor would require an article.

382

But this wouldn't make sense because what belongs to the doctor?

383

So there's no reason for the possessive to be here.

384

Okay.

385

So we just want if doctor.

386

So when you have the plural noun, you don't need an article.

387

I got, my mind got confused because it saw doctors here.

388

So that's why I wrote it.

389

If doctors can diagnose.

390

So this is your verb to diagnose.

391

We have our modal and then remember modal plus base verb.

392

Now you can say patients or you can say people.

393

Notice people does not have an S because people is the plural form of person.

394

One person, two people.

395

Patients just represents people who see that doctor.

396

And then people are just more random.

397

If doctors can diagnose patients, people in their office, and then everything else is the same.

398

They can more immediately move into preventative care.

399

Now here, if you implement, which simply means you apply, you apply lifestyle changes in your life.

400

If you implement lifestyle changes, you might say if you revamp your lifestyle and revamp their lifestyle.

401

So that's another great way to see how advanced your abilities are, because if you can take a word that you learned in this article

402

and you can replace it and know what else you need to do to replace it,

403

because I can't just say revamp lifestyle changes.

404

That's not correct.

405

It would be an revamp their lifestyle.

406

So now let's read that they can more immediately move into preventative care and revamp their lifestyle

407

to slow the progression of their disease.

408

So this word would have to be replaced as well.

409

It doesn't belong.

410

If I wanted to use revamp their lifestyle.

411

Now, my next word would be too slow because this provides the reason why, why are they revamping their lifestyle?

412

They're doing it in order to slow, but this just represents in order to,

413

and revamp their lifestyle to slow the progression of their disease.

414

So if you can do the two things that I just did in this, in this paragraph, then wow,

415

you have a very advanced understanding of the words you learn and overall English grammar and sentence structure.

416

So try it, try it with an easy example.

417

And that's the end of the article.

418

So what I'll do now is I'll read the article from start to finish and you can focus on my pronunciation.

419

Amazing reduction in Alzheimer's risk verified by blood markers.

420

Study says when Penny Ashford's father was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's disease at age 62,

421

she knew the devastating brain disorder might one day steal her memory.

422

In her late 50s, her free-floating anxiety turned into outright panic when she began struggling to find words.

423

I couldn't tell a story.

424

I couldn't get my words out, said Ashford, now 61.

425

I remember sitting at a dinner party one time and I couldn't finish my thoughts.

426

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
