exposure Exposure means being open to something.. Parents like to take their children on trips to help them gain exposure to other cultures. The doctor is saying we're sick because of the unknowing exposure to the virus. The meanings are the same. In some cases, it's more natural to talk about normal exposure (like a house, or a garden) using "exposure to the sun." For example, "Our garden has exposure to the sun for most of the day." I would also say "exposure to sunlight" instead of "exposure to the sunlight".

воздействие, подвергание

perceive Examples: 1. With our five senses (smell, sight, sound, touch and taste), we perceive(воспринимаем) the world around us. 2. If you listen carefully, you can perceive(почувствовать) a small difference between the pronunciations of "world" and "word". 3. I perceive(чувтвую) a hint of sadness in your voice today. What's wrong? Are you okay? 4. I perceived(почувствовал) a movement in the bushes. It was dark and foggy so I couldn't see anything. I think it was a cat.

воспринимать, почувствовать

Perception/perspective It means what is your understanding of the subject by observing at it Perception is more like impression and idea, whereas perspective is similar to opinion/point of view (more comprehensive). My perception of the American dream vs. My perspective on trump being elected they're quite similar but perspective is more about how you see something and it's usually followed by the preposition "on" and sometimes "of" , e.g. "she had a different perspective on the refugee crisis than I did" whereas perception is more your thoughts, ideas and understanding of something and it's followed by "of", e.g. "my perception of the situation is that she is angry at him". Perspective- this is how you see, feel, think things but on your side of the story. Example of this is the famous "What do you see a 9 or a 6?" picture. Where one man stands at the bottom and the other one at the top. So one of them said 9 and the other said he saw 6. Perception- is the same as perspective but this is used in a literal sense or only on the things that you can see, touch, smell, hear, and taste. Perspective and Perception is something that you call as synonymous or words with different letters but have the same meaning. But just like I said perspective is mostly used on abstract things or things you cannot see but you can feel.

восприятие, осознание, представление о чем-либо

impressive

впечатляющий

subsequently/afterwards Afterward' indicates something happening later in relation to another action. 'Subsequently' indicates something happening later relative to time.

"I started cleaning the dishes and subsequently cleaned the fridge", I moved in order of time from cleaning the dishes, and later in time I cleaned the fridge. Could have done things in between.
