In this bonus episode, recorded in front of a live virtual audience, Professor Paul Dolan and his guests discuss the neuroscience and social science behind the polarisation problem. Why do we take sides on so many issues? What makes us want to be part of one group and not another? What drives our judgements, choices and assumptions?

Paul was joined by his LSE colleague Dr Jennifer Sheehy Skeffington, and fellow academics Dr Lasana Harris from University College London, Professor Anil Seth from the University of Sussex, and Dr Tiffany Watt Smith from Queen Mary University.

Why do we disagree?

Topic: City Life
•	Question 1: What are the main disadvantages of living in a city?
The first thing that pops into my head is the high level of pollution that people have to suffer from, varying from air pollution to noise pollution. In addition to that, due to the large number of people living in cities, it’s more challenging to find a job because there are so many people looking for job opportunities at the same time. 
•	Question 2: How do you think cities could be improve?
In my opinion, we should ask for help from the policymakers to reduce the number of vehicles commuting on the streets, which will definitely reduce the level of pollution. Moreover, creating more green space is also an option to take into consideration when we want to improve the living quality of cities.
 •	Question 3: Are people less friendly in cities than in the countryside?
I think it’s rather harsh to make generalizations and say that people from the cities are less friendly than those who come from the countryside. It mainly depends on the personalities of each person. Or maybe a lot of people have that negative thought because people from the cities are busier with their work and they don’t have enough time to worry about other people’s issues.

Let’s get started. I’d like to introduce you to your teacher, Eliot. He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here’s a fun fact about Eliot: The first piece of technology Eliot ever owned was a cassette tape player.&nbsp; Eliot Intro Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today’s show. I’m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh. Today, we’re going to look at four words that will be useful for the Speaking section of the IELTS. The topic of technology is a popular source of questions on the IELTS Speaking test, so we’re going to go over a few good vocabulary words that you can use to talk about the field of technology as a whole, as well as some specific pieces of technology. As always, make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words. Once again, the theme for the words in today’s episode is technology, and ways to describe different types of technology and technological advances. Device So let’s get started. The first word on our list is device. So let’s start with that one, okay? What does the word “device” mean? Well, a device is any technological machine. I know this sounds pretty general, so let’s get a more specific look. When we use the word “device”, we are typically speaking about an electronic item that allows people to get on the Internet, make phone calls, or possibly send messages. So usually when we say “device” we are talking about someone’s phone, or computer, or tablet. However, there are more kinds of devices than just the ones you use to connect to the Internet or call your mom. Technically, any mechanical or electronic tool is a device. For example, while your laptop is a device, something as simple as a measuring stick is also a device. A device is any piece of technological equipment. Don’t worry too much about being able to identify every single device. Just remember that most of the time when someone uses the word device, they’re talking about a phone or a computer. For example, you may have seen advertisements for services that allow you to watch television shows on “all of your devices.” Obviously these ads are using the word “device” to refer to things like phones, computers, and televisions – not measuring sticks! So, that’s device. Mobile The next word is mobile. What does mobile mean? Well, the word mobile describes technology related to phones, or other wireless devices that connect to the Internet or send calls and text messages to people So you can see there is some overlap between “mobile” and “device.” To keep things from getting confusing, let’s be really clear about the differences between these two words. The word “device” is a noun, meaning that a device is a thing -- like a cellphone or computer. The word “mobile” is an adjective, meaning it describes something. In this case, we use the word mobile to describe anything that is a wireless device. So a television is a device. A television that can wirelessly connect to the internet is a mobile device. However, you’ll mostly hear this word, mobile, used to describe cell...
