he's a review from BBC Learning English Hello and welcome to news Review the program where we show you how to use the language for the latest news stories in your everyday English I'm Dan and joining me this morning is Catherine Catherine.

Well, today we're looking at a potential breakthrough in a serious disease.

Okay, let's hear more from this BBC News Report Scientists seeking a cure for the deadly Ebola virus have found that a clinical trials using a new type of treatment in the Democratic Republic of Congo have proved highly effective and heartbreaker.

The disease has killed at least 1800 people in the past year in the DRC.

Anthony Fauci is one of the researchers who worked with the World Health Organization on the treatments.

He said they could be ready to roll out very soon.

So Ebola, the disease that has caused devastation to populations in Africa in particular over the last few years.

There has been an outbreak of Ebola in the last year in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and nearly 2000 people have died, so it's a serious disease There is some good news coming, though that is, there is a treatment that has been tested in the DRC and it's been proved highly effective.

So much so that it could be ready to launch this treatment very soon.

Okay, so let's talk about three words and expressions that our viewers can use to talk about this really fantastic story.

Incurable for eliminate, airy rate and incurable.

Okay, let's have our first headline then, please.

The headline is preliminary data shows two new Ebola drugs dramatically decreased mortality rates preliminary happening before a more important action or event preliminary.

Now I see a bit of wood building coming up there.

The full spelling is p r e l I m i n a r.

But the pre bit means before okay and eliminate Eri.

It means really to some of them used before an important point or an important event.

So something that happens before the main thing is preliminary in this case we have preliminary data, which, of course, is the first data coming back from the tests.

Yes, and I believe they're preliminary tests.

And we can use it in lots and lots of context.

There, Katherine hit May transcript of a test over it.

You're gonna give me how to use preliminary.

If you're an artist and you're going to make a big picture, you make a preliminary drawing.

You're gonna make a big change in the law.

The first match is before it gets really serious.

Preliminary hearing before the big trialled.

You'll have some hearings before the big trial.

I called preliminary ness to establish whether or not a crime has actually been done.

Now, first results that much like these ones in very similar.

Okay, well, I mean, that was our first headline.

So thank you for that preliminary information.

Ebola drugs show 90% survival rate in breakthrough trialled rate measure of the number of times or frequency, something happens.

A small word with a complicated explanation.

And it basically is a way of saying that you measuring the number of times something happens in the time period or how often something happens.

And in this case, of course, we've got survival rate survival rate.

This means a 90% survival rate means that 90% of people who have had this treatment survived.

Okay, You could look at the other side of it and say there's a 10% death rate or a 10% mortality rate.

So what you do is you get unknown and put rate on the end of it.

And you've got a compound known with rate to say how often something happens.

So you can talk about the birth rate, How many babies are born?

You can talk about the crime rate, how much crime occurs in per 1000 people in the population.
