News report one
The British government has called for more men to consider a career in nursing. Figures show the number of male nurses has fallen in the last three years. Now, the number of men working in the nursing sector has reached us seven year low. Numbers of male nurses increased between 2011 and 2014 and reached a peak of 7168. This figure has dropped to only 6924 in 2017. The UK Health Secretary said this is clearly a cultural problem, and probably one that exists in many parts of the world. But we can make efforts to change that now. We want to persuade males to think about career options of going into nursing. There is absolutely no reason why men can't go into this profession. The health secretary said that the government already has plans to attract a more varied workforce into nursing. She stated, we are leading the way on workforce planning. We will become the first nation in Europe to publish a national health and care workforce plan.

Passage Two
There's an endless amount of scientific data proving that dogs can develop strong bonds with their owners. People aren't kidding when they say they love their dog or their dog loves them,(19) but were rather ignorant about the nature of the relationships that form between dogs.
In an effort to understand the matter further, I spoke with doctors Mark Beckhoff a researcher and former professor of animal behavior. The-doctors response to the question of whether or not dogs can fall in love like humans do was a straight “Of course!” (20) He went on to say that if love is defined as a long term commitment meaning dogs seek one another out when they’re apart, they're happy when they're reunited, they protect one another, they feed one another, they raise their children together.(20) Then, of course, dogs love each other.
Now our furry friends don't really experience romantic love, like in the movies, but they can form deep and lasting bands with their fellow dogs as well as humans.
(21) In fact, evidence shows almost dogs stay with one partner their whole lives. In actuality, love between dogs can be even more intimate than human relationships.
