Fast food + nearby schools = fat kids

Youth who study just a short walk from a fast-food outlet eat fewer fruit and vegetables, drink more soda and are more likely to be obese than students at other schools, according to research published Tuesday.
It is not surprising to see the news. Nowadays there are a variety of sorts of food we can choose. Definitely most people are inclined to choose delicious food and forget to estimate how many servings of vegetable and fruit they eat. I am one of those people. Compared with vegetable, I would like to have fast food or other deep frying food, just like most youths. Fast food really doesn’t have any nutrition. In addition, it caused obesity. It is impossible that fast food disappear, though. The only solution is to control ourselves.
There is also a fast-food restaurant near my home. Whenever I passed it, the smell always make me hungry. But I told myself that I can’t go in. I have to control myself not to go often. I don’t have to force ourselves not to eat it forever. That was too difficult. But we can go there once few months. Then that would be easy to reach.
There is much fast food or other things we can’t eat often. And if we don’t know how to control ourselves, the only consequence is fatness, just like the news topic.

Shoes and insults hurled at Bush on Iraq visit

George Bush's engagement with Iraq appeared to end as it began - in chaos and anger - yesterday when a surprise trip to Baghdad to thank his troops and herald a new security pact was disrupted by an Iraqi man calling the US president a "dog" in Arabic and throwing his shoes at him.
How did Bush have the courage to give a speech in Iraq? That was my only question. I didn’t feel surprised when I knew that the Iraqi man threw shoes to Bush. If I were an Iraqi, I might also want to do the same thing to him. I have seen that Bush was insulted by American also in his speech. I think that Bush is just like our former president. They kept doing what made people disapointed, they were cursed, and then they smiled saying some indifferent words. They, however, didn’t change. Not only those presidents but also lots of politicians do the same things. How can they do their own things and ignore people’s thirst? Why did we elect them? Can’t those politicians understand what we want? No matter what we need, we definetely don’t need corruption, money laundering, and so on.
I really do hope that there will be some great statesmen. And all the bad political affairs will disappear from the news. To tell the truth, I am tired of those boring news. Those politicians really have to work hard to make some different news.

Clashes spread across Greece after police kill teenager in flashpoint district of capital

The violence, the country's worst civil disturbances in years, erupted late on Saturday when it emerged that a teenage boy had been killed by police in Exarchia, a district of central Athens long associated with lawlessness and drug abuse.
It is unbelievable that the police officers shot the boy dead. Though the police said that he just wanted to warn that boy. However whatever the boy did, I don’t think it is proper to aimed at a youth. Maybe the youths made a fault for attacking the police’s car. The guilt was nt as serious as being shot. The event also became a trigger of the protest. The problems which are mentioned in the news appear in not only greece but also other countries. “There are a lot of disoriented young people who feel they don't have much to expect from the future.” “There is growing anger at the widening gap between rich and poor.” These problem became wost and worst. The expert argue and argue. However there is still no good solution.The event reminds us of those social problems. It is not only about Greece but also the globe. We can’t just depends on other professionals to solve problems for us. We should try hard to do it from ourselves. Even if it is just a small piece, we still try it. It is importasnt that we devote ourselves to the society.

One in 10 children suffer abuse, say experts

The true scale of the maltreatment of children in the UK is revealed by child abuse experts today who say that one in 10 suffers physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect.
Before the news, I thought there were few children suffering from abuse. The news, however, the news showed the unbelievable statistics. I don’t understand why there are many abuses. Didn’t all the parents love their chldren? Or they give birth to kids unexpectedly. No matter why they bear the children, abuses are intolerable. Violence is awful to adult, to say nothing of children. Every parents should be responsible for their children. If they want to give birth to children, they have to think twice before they doing so. Because the thing is very important. It affects not only the couple but also the children’s life. They can’t bear kids just because they want it. The thing they have to consider is if they have ability to raise a kid. The ability means many thing including their finance and the patince. Parents’ burden is much bigger than what we think.
The news reminds us that the social problem become more and more seriouser. We should take the problem seriously and try to improve it or we will cause many tragedies.

How Dubai's fantasy skyline tumbled to earth

The £15m grand opening of Dubai's latest luxury development can't mask the emirate's building crisis forever, writes Steve Rose
When I finished watching the video, my mind was just full of “wow”. Who will remember the economic crisis in Dubai, after seeing the incredible fireworks show. The manager said “ compared with fifty billions which they costed to construct the hotel, seven billions won’t be thought too over”. That was a truth. Because I think fifty billions was much more unbelievable. Though they cost so much money to attract tourists and the fact that the show was really beautiful, I don’t think they will get the equivalence. Maybe they will. That takes long time, though. Furthermore there are few people who have the ability to go. They need wealthy people, but wealthy people became less and less because of the economic crisis around the world. Most of there hotel, however, was constructed for those wealthy families. I think they should try another progam which can also attract the middle class tourists.
Dubai is a nation which ceated lot of amazing thing. Even if they face the crises, they continue to make the records. No matter what they will become, we can’t forget every spectacular they made.

Cocaine users are destroying the rainforest - at 4m squared a gram

Four square metres of rainforest are destroyed for every gram of cocaine snorted in the UK, a conference of senior police officers as told yesterday.
The news is such a worst alert for everyone around the world. The global environtment is going down at a high speed. We,however, don’t come up with other efective solution to solve it. Even if we do atempt to twist the awful situation, we don’t know what exactly to do. Evrything we do just destroys the environtment. The consequence is that the kind of news emerged much more than before. The news really makes me feel angry. Cocaine is not only harmful to our body but also harmful to the environtment. The trees on the world is much less than before. Why they plant those bad trees which produce only drugs insead of the good trees which not only produce oxygen but also slow down the raising of the temperature. If they just want to make money, there are so many other gobs they can find or plant they can cultivate. I just hope that they can stop doing those thing that may hurt the earth.
The news remind us that we must work harder to prevent our earth from being destroyed. Though we can’t do great improvement,like those sientists or inventors, we can make it from the small things in our lives, such as bringing chopsticks and bowls when we go out to have dinners. I believe that the kind of good things can help improve it, if there are lot of people doing so. That is a easy thing. I believe everyone can do it well.

Fake degree minister impeached

A senior minister in the Iranian government faces an impeachment hearing today after he admitted faking a degree from Oxford University
When I saw the news, I recalled a fortuneteller in Taiwan also did the same thing. It is really bad to do the kind of thing. Especially they are known for many people. What they do will be seen on the television. So they should be careful not to do some thing bad for some teenagers or kids may think this is cool and learn it. In addition, if they are found that they have done the kind of thing, they should apologize immediately. Not just deny. Whether they feel sorry or not, they have to show it on television. I think it is very important to let everybody know that it is bad to do it.
In the news, someone mentioned that the minister didn’t cause other mistake. That is good. But no matter how many good thing he did, he made the fake degree, which is a truth. If he did really want the job, he should do it by a right way. What he did is not fair to others who want the job. Other people studied hard for many years to try to find a good job. But they lose it just because of someone who makes a fake resume. It is frustrating. To sum up, faking degree is really bad.
