Hi, this is Emily with U.S. English with Emily, and today's lesson is talking
about roots. Now, we're not talking about the roots of a tree or some sort of a
plant. We're talking about roots in the English language. We will not have time
to discuss affixes which are prefixes and suffixes, and these are often
accompanied in lessons about roots. But we're talking just roots today. So what
is a root? The root of the word is the simplest part of a word. The root holds a
key to the word's meaning. If I know what the root means, I have a better chance of
figuring out what the word means. Our first example is from the Greek and it's
geo. Geo in the Greek means earth. Now, here's a couple more examples. Geo -graphy
makes geography geo-thermic makes geothermic. So you can see in the
brackets, this is the root geo as it's used in other words. Now, more
specifically geography has two roots within that one particular word. Geo
meaning earth and graph meaning to write, record, or draw, so you combine together
two roots with these separate meanings so to write record or draw about the
earth and we get geography. We also have an additional root that could mean Earth.
One is from the Greek and one is from the Latin, so geo from the Greek and terr
from the Latin both of which mean earth. As if the English language couldn't get any
more confusing, you have multiple roots that mean the same thing!
Combining those roots together we can figure out that these words in some
way or in their origin had to do with earth.
We have geode, extraterrestrial, terra cotta, geocentric, and terrace. All of
those words, then if you understand the root, you understand in some way they
are related to earth. Because geo and terr mean earth. This is Emily with US English
tips with Emily. Have a great day!

North Korea reaches out to GOP analysts to try and understand Trump: Washington Post - Duration: 0:41.
North Korean officials have reportedly been trying to arrange talks with Republican analysts
in Washington to learn more about President Trump and his strategies.
The Washington Post reports that Pyongyang has reached out to seven organizations that
helped arrange meetings between the two countries in the past.
None of the organizations agreed to speak with the officials.
One person with direct knowledge of the North's approach says North Korea's number one concern
is President Trump.... because they cannot figure him out.
However, the Washington Post says that, while North Korea has been sending requests for
talks to experts, there's no suggestion the regime is interested in negotiations about
its nuclear program.

Top U.S. general says North Korea's military posture remains unchanged - Duration: 1:52.
A top U.S. general says North Korea has *not changed its military posture,... despite the
recent escalation of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
He added however,.. the regime remains a clear and present threat to the United States,...
with the capability to strike the mainland with ballistic missiles.
Yu Joonhee reports.
General Joseph Dunford,... chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff,... says North
Korea has shown no signs of unusual military activity.
His comments to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday contrast the view of
Seoul's intelligence agency,... which believes the regime *has ramped up its military activity
near the East Sea.
Despite this,... the general said the U.S. is staying watchful and vigilant,... and has
taken appropriate measures to protect itself and its allies in the region.
(English) "We haven't seen a change in the posture of
North Korean forces.
We watch that very carefully.
We, clearly, have postured our forces to respond in the event of a provocation or a conflict."
Dunford also warned... that North Korea represents Washington's greatest national security threat...
and it *should be assumed the rogue state... can already hit the U.S. mainland with ballistic
missiles.
He said there's a consensus among intelligence communities,... Pyongyang will have fully-capable
and reliable ICBMs ready within a period of months.
Although the regime's missile technology,... especially those related to atmospheric re-entry,...
has yet to fully mature,... Dunford said there were no doubts North Korea will develop the
required engineering solutions.
The general also agreed with the notion... that Kim Jong-un's main motivation for pursuing
nuclear weapons is the survival of his regime.
He said the military fully supports the Trump administration's efforts to find a peaceful
resolution to the crisis through diplomatic pressure,... warning of the serious risks
associated with a pre-emptive strike.

President Moon urge Pyongyang to return to peace - Duration: 2:29.
Ahead of the upcoming anniversary of the peace declaration between the two Koreas,... or
simply known as the October 4th Declaration-- South Korean President Moon Jae-in stressed
his stance on rebuilding peace on the peninsula.
Hwang Hojun reports.
President Moon Jae-in said that if the peace agreement signed ten years ago between the
late former President Roh Moo-hyun and his then-North Korean counterpart Kim Jong-il
had been carried out, then the prospects for peace on the Korean Peninsula would look very
different today.
He blamed the escalating tensions between the two Koreas on the previous two conservative
administrations.
(KOREAN) "Over the last ten years, the October Fourth
declaration and the efforts of past governments have gone up in smoke.
The inter-Korean relationship has been completely cut off, and North Korea's ever-accelerating
nuclear and missile technology is threatening not only South Korea but the entire world."
( 10 , 10.4 ... , .)
President Moon was speaking at a ceremony Tuesday evening commemorating the 10th anniversary
of the signing of the peace treaty.
The treaty's official name is the Declaration on the Advancement of South-North Korean Relations,
Peace, and Prosperity of October 4th, 2007.
And Moon was the chairman of the committee that arranged the second inter-Korean summit
where it was signed.
At Tuesday's commemoration, he stressed that the state of security is dire and that North
Korea must realize it has no future if it continues to threaten the world.
No matter how difficult the situation may seem, he said, the journey toward peace and
prosperity on the peninsula must continue.
And, though South Korea and the world agree that now is the time for sanctions and pressure,
Pyongyang still has a chance to make things right.
(KOREAN) I've said it multiple times.
If North Korea stops making reckless choices, the door to dialogue and negotiation will
always be open.
If the regime chooses to give up its nuclear program, Seoul and the international community
will help with North Korea's development.
( . , .)
President Moon also said his administration's so-called new northern policy, which seeks
to expand economic cooperation with northern Eurasian states including North Korea, inherits
the spirit of the 2007 peace declaration and pledged his administration will revive and
fulfill the peace treaty as well.

Trump say U.S. is fully prepared to use military force against North Korea - Duration: 0:49.
President Trump is refusing to give North Korea an inch,...warning Pyongyang the United
States is fully prepared to use "devastating" military force against that regime... if necessary.
Speaking alongside the Spanish prime minister,... Trump said Washington prefers *not to go that
route,... and urged the global community to cooperate,... in ending Pyongyang's nuclear
program.
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis... echoing the president's sentiments,... said Washington's
ultimate goal is to resolve the crisis diplomatically.
President Trump also blamed his predecessors,... saying they'd left a "mess" on the Korean
Peninsula,... and he promised to fix the problems himself.
His comments are just the latest... in an escalating war of words between Washington
and Pyongyang... that have raised tension, by yet another notch.
