🌏ArticleYou might expect that the more a country spends on its healthcare, the better it would be. But a new study says this might not be true. In fact, research from The Commonwealth Fund found that the US had the lowest performance of those studied, but spent the most money on healthcare.The researchers compared the way that healthcare is provided in 11 high-income countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US. They compared each country's healthcare across five areas: access, process, efficiency, equality and outcomes.The study found that Norway had the best healthcare performance in the group, followed by the Netherlands and Australia. The US came in last place, with Canada and Switzerland also in the bottom three.However, in 2019, while Norway spent 10.5% of its gross domestic product on healthcare, the US spent 16.8% — more than any other country in the study. Yet the US was the lowest in all areas except process.Four differences might explain why the US got the worst result for the most money. The top performing countries provided universal healthcare at a lower cost, spent more money making sure that all people could access important healthcare services, didn't spend as much time and money on management, and spent more money on social services.However, the study also said that all countries can still improve and should try to learn from each other. For example, the US was better than many countries at getting people to have the flu vaccine.🌏Summary你可能會預期，一個國家花在醫療體系的錢越多，它的品質就越好。達達！大錯特錯。有份研究，將11個高收入國家中提供醫療的方式做比較。結果發現，挪威的醫療表現最好，美國則是墊底。然而，在2019年，挪威在醫療體系的支出佔其國內生產毛額的10.5%，美國卻高達16.8%，是該研究中的比例最高的國家。為什麼美國花最多的錢卻獲得最糟的成果呢？研究指出，排名頂尖的國家以較低的價格提供全民醫療，花更多的錢確保所有人都能夠獲得重要的醫療服務。沒有花費太多時間和金錢在管理，放更多支出在社會服務上。不過，在讓民眾取得流感疫苗這方面，美國則比許多國家來得更擅長。🌏Words & Phrasesperformance表現access權限efficiency效率🌏ReferencesArticle: Engoo Daily News(https://engoo.com.tw/app/daily-news/article/us-comes-last-in-study-of-11-rich-countries-healthcare/Nsk5SP88Eeu-eB_63OdYuA)(https://engoo.com.tw/)Picture: JUPE Design + Canva(https://www.instagram.com/jupeseries/?hl=en)(https://www.canva.com/)#每周二、四更新#沒有廣告不用APP進一步學習語言點選教育電台 語言學習頻道-----英語節目主持人：陳彣 (Neil)法語節目主持人：楊淑娟 (Julia Yang)-----Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn搜尋訂閱：英語Follow me-----▍教育電臺▍官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV▍粉絲團:https://www.facebook.com/educationradio▍線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE▍Channel+精選節目:http://bit.ly/499xCn5Powered by Firstory Hosting

🌏ArticleWe all want to "ace" our exams, which means to get a high grade. But if you don't study, you might "flunk," or fail. Here are some more phrases you might hear students using when talking about preparing for, passing, or even failing exams.If you have a big exam coming up, you might have to "burn the midnight oil" — or work late at night. This expression comes from a time when people would light oil lamps to see at night. You could even "pull an all-nighter" by working all night long without sleeping!But even if you've studied hard and feel well-prepared, it can be easy to "choke" in an exam. This is when stress or nervousness stops you from doing your best. We can also use this word in the office or to describe a sports team or player. For example, you could say: "Everyone expected the team to win, but they choked in the final game of the tournament."But if you study hard and don't let stress get in the way, you'll "sail through" your exam, or be able to do it without any problems.And if you're feeling really confident after finishing the exam, you could say you've got it "in the bag," which is another way of saying you are sure you'll achieve something.This expression is believed to come from 1916, when the New York Giants baseball team would carry a bag off the field when they were winning a game. They believed doing so would secure their victory, because according to the team, they had captured the game in the bag.🌏Summary如果你有大考在即，你可能得「burn the midnight oil」，也就是挑燈夜戰，熬夜讀書。 不過有時候，即使您已經努力讀書也感覺準備好了，還是可能「choke」 in an exam，在考試的時候「失常」。 不過只要你認真讀書，控制好情緒壓力，還是可以「sail through」 your exam，「一帆風順、順利通過」你的考試。🌏Words & Phraseschoke窒息nervousness焦慮sail航行🌏ReferencesArticle: Engoo Daily News(https://engoo.com.tw/app/daily-news/article/youll-ace-every-exam-with-these-phrases/1l13MOMSEeuUfyML5VnWig)(https://engoo.com.tw/)Picture: JUPE Design + Canva(https://www.instagram.com/jupeseries/?hl=en)(https://www.canva.com/)#每周二、四更新#沒有廣告不用APP進一步學習語言點選教育電台 語言學習頻道-----英語節目主持人：陳彣 (Neil)法語節目主持人：楊淑娟 (Julia Yang)-----Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn搜尋訂閱：英語Follow me-----▍教育電臺▍官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV▍粉絲團:https://www.facebook.com/educationradio▍線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE▍Channel+精選節目:http://bit.ly/499xCn5Powered by Firstory Hosting
