News Stories
Tourists on a boat in the north of
England had a big
shock.
They
were in the middle of a
lake.
All
of a sudden, they saw a
squirrel
swimming. This is very strange
because it is difficult for most
mammals to swim. Also, squirrels
are very small, so it is even more
difficult for them. The squirrel had
swum 274 meters from the side of the
lake to the middle. It was eventually
rescued by the captain of the boat.
The squirrel was taken back to
shore.
“We don’t know what the squirrel
was doing,” said Captain Edward
McGregor. Once back
on land,
the
squirrel disappeared quickly.

– Depression symptoms
Is depression a big problem in your country? Look at the list
of depression symptoms. Which ones are the most serious?
What is the best way of dealing with each problem? Discuss
your ideas with a partner.
Poor concentration/attention.
Loss of energy.
Significant weight loss or gain or appetite disturbance.
Insomnia or excessive sleeping.
Low energy level or chronic tiredness.
Loss of self-esteem, and/or self-deprecation.
A drop in school grades.
Forgetfulness.
A recent study has shown that the number-
one danger to our health is depression. For the
study, data from more than 245,000 people in
60 countries was analysed. The results showed
that depression had more impact on sufferers
than angina, arthritis, asthma, and diabetes.
“Depression needs to be a priority of health
systems worldwide,” a doctor said. “We need
to alert doctors and the public at large that
depression is a disease at least on a par with
physical chronic diseases in damaging health,”
she added.
On a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 indicating worst
health and 100 indicating best health, sufferers
of depression had an average score of 72.9. This
compared with 80.3 for asthmatics, 79.6 for
angina sufferers, 79.3 for arthritis sufferers and
78.9 for those with diabetes. “Our main findings
show that depression impairs health state to
a substantially greater degree than the other
diseases,” the doctor said.
