今日の英語の習慣化の題材は、考古学系ですが... そんなに難しくはありません。

Drought (干ばつ) や emerge (現れる、出現する)とか普通に使われる単語です。

この手の分野に興味のない方には退屈ですが、自分の年齢や知的レベルに合わせた英語の勉強が大事です。

 

CNN — A 3,400-year-old palace has emerged from a reservoir in the Kurdistan region of Iraq after water levels dropped because of drought.
The discovery of the ruins in the Mosul Dam reservoir on the banks of the Tigris River inspired a spontaneous archeological dig that will improve understanding of the Mittani Empire, one of the least-researched empires of the Ancient Near East, the Kurdish-German team of researchers said in a press release.
"The find is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the region in recent decades," Kurdish archeologist Hasan Ahmed Qasim said in a press release.
