find effective treatments for COVID-19
找到新冠病毒的解决办法
It's not scheduled for full operation
还没计划完全启用
model how the virus could travel through the air in different places
模拟为什么病毒可以在不同地方通过空气传播

本篇文章谈及到利用超级电脑助力治疗新冠病毒,可以与到雅思口语PART 3里的健康、科技等话题相结合,作为补充资料。Tips: 如果在雅思考试中,你的答案新颖,结合热点,可以证明你是个日常使用英语的人,这会是不小的加分哦~Do unexpected things lead to progress in our civilization?Yeah, definitely. Throughout history, tons of new technologies and the development of human civilization were the result of unpredictable things. Sometimes, unknown viruses also spurred positive developments in the field of medicine. Take this year as an example, we had never expected that Covid-19 would ruin our lives. However, even though we haven't found effective treatments for the virus, I heard that some new supercomputers in Japan which were not scheduled for full operation have been used to model how the virus could travel through the air and help develop new vaccine. I believe all unexpected things we are going through right now will pave the way for us to overcome more difficulties in the future.
ps. 重点在于学表达,补充知识,不是背答案, 通过输入,再加工输出,真正内化
