NEWS: Motorway thieves steal French jewls

An armed gang of thieves seized 9m. € in jewels in France. A group of 15 hooded thieves seized the vehicles on the A6 motorway at Avallon at 220 Km near of Paris with some form of gas and later the lorries were found abandoned burned and complete empty. The lorries had been carrying diamonds, others jewels and works. Now the police have been searching in the region and the neighbouring areas.

This isn’t the only theft in the recent years. Some of the most important have been, for example, the year before, when a gang of thieves wearing women’s clothing and wigs stolen a lot of jewels on a Harry Winston store in Paris. And this year in the Cannes film festival were two separate robberies, including the theft of a necklace of 1,9m.€.

I think the crisis and unemployment do that every day there are more robberies, but I think that these types of thefts are expert people and the big majority comes from organized armed groups. The only thing you can do to combat this problem is to put more and more security and alarms.

In my opinion this Thieves are experts and trained to steal and they have very specialized equipment.

A few weeks ago, In to the english class, the teachers of english prepared a Skype with Noa. Noa is a girl that the last year she ended second of high school, and she decided go to Australia for pass one gap year, before going to university. She explained to us how the her day and day. We prepared differents questions for Noa, ans she answered all us questions.
Was very interesting all everything she explained us. 

I think that to do  a gap year is a very good option, before going to university. She has learned a lot of english, win personal experience is a new experience that she will never forget. 

I personally, I should like a lot to pass a gap year in the other country, but later. Because in thes moment I really want to go to the university.

NEWS: All aboard! Hulk the world's biggest pit bull

The dog Hulk with only 17 months old with a weighing of twelve and a half stone (175 lbs), he is believed to be the world's largest pit bull. He is almost three times bigger than a normal Pit Bull Terrier.

The owners: Marlon and Lisa Grennan, from New Hampshire, say that your dog is very big and tall but he is very gentle like a nanny dogs. Each day he eats 4lbs of ground beef.

And while he admits his dogs are trained for aggression and power, he says the criticism is usually from people who live in safer environments with no need for protection. And why should somebody else live in fear if they don’t have to.


It is true that the called dangerous breeds of dogs have very bad reputation and it requires attention to their education but I think the problem is not with the dogs. Normally the problems are with the owners.

Usually these dogs if they are healthy they aren’t dangerous for reason of the dog breed. These dogs are more corpulent, they have more strength and a lot of strength but that does not mean they are dangerous.

This case is doubly complicated because this dog is of a dangerous breed but also has a extraordinary dimensions, but he is very good for the family and to the children, so it shows that the stereotypes are not always true.

NEWS: Can a school demand your Facebook or Twitter login?

A school district in Illinois is embroiled in controversy after a letter it sent to parents was published, explaining that school officials are allowed to demand access to students' social media accounts.

The letter says that if your child has an account on a social networking website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, ask.fm, etc, your child may be asked to provide his or her password for these accounts to school officials. And a lot of parents who received the notice were also unnerved about the lack of privacy.

A school could only request passwords if there is ample evidence of a school rule being violated But the students weren't required to provide the passwords schools were simply allowed to request them under these circumstances. But is clearly that that's a power that's likely to be abused at some point.

Some argue that the law in Illinois violates Facebook's terms of use, which forbids users from sharing their password or letting anyone else access their account. Anytime a school is trying to control students behaviour outside school, it's a serious threat to their privacy and to their futures.


I think it is a violation of privacy and if the schools require to the students the passwords of the accounts in the social networking like a Facebook, Instagram, Whats,... etc in the hands of someone illegal, could substitute the persons and represents a serious risk. 

In my opinion only the police can require the passwords if they are evidences of cyberbulling. Children need to be inspired, not punished and certainly not made to feel violated.

NEWS: Police threaten to confiscate four year old girl’s bike on way to school because she was cycling on pavement

Sophie Lindley was cycling to go the school in Grantham (Licolnshire) with her father and an officer told them that her actions were against the law. The parents accepted it was illegal to ride on the pavement but they said that is ridiculous to think a four year old is not allowed and with only four year old to ride in the road it’s not safe.

The mother said that at first she thought he was joking but he looked deadly serious. When the little girl was into her class your teacher had to calm her because she thought she was going to be put in jail.

Mr. Lindley obeyed the officer’s order and he added that the path was totally empty and we walk along it every day because Sophie likes to cycle on her bike 

In my opinion this is a case very exaggerated. It’s normally that the cyclist can’t ride on the pavement but have some sense this is just a little kid.

I think that the little bikes under a certain size cant were allowed to ride on the pavement because the small children can’t be expected to ride on the road because it just isn’t safe. We know that the law indicates that it is forbidden but the police should have more common sense and although the law has to fulfil in some cases, like this, they should be more flexible.

Advantages and disadvantages of shopping online

Shopping online now is very populer. A lot of people prefer buying online and don't go to the shops.

On the one hand, exists a lot and differents website about shopping online. The advantages of shopping online are that this way is very pactical and easy for people that work all day and don't have time for they go to the shops. We buy online with mobilephone, computers, tablets and so on. In different places and the any time. 

On the other hand, the disadvantages of shopping online are that most of people when buying online spend more money, because is much easier that people aren't conscious of money spent. Other disadvantage is that when se see one object online with photos, in reality it can be different from the photos.


In conclusion I buy a lot online, but in my opinion is better go to shops, is most funny and reliable.

NEWS: Anne Allen has created a fictitious career as an actress through social nets

The Spanish actress has forged a career as an actress falsifying photos. She has edited photos with your face above photos from other actresses, superimposing her face onto the different photos and sharing them with her 22.000 Instagram followers.

Also she posted a photo of her invitation to the Oscars and she reposted numerous snapshots in the Instagram account, including pictures, works set and her travels.

Now she deleted her account after it was discovered that she had posted fake photos of herself supposedly attending this year’s Oscars.

Perhaps all to begin with a small lie and after it so have escaped from their hands. I think she is very wrong but your manager is also guilty of this.

I think that although it isn’t a felony and a lot of people lies a little in his curriculum vitae, but in this case, the lie has been great and dangerous. On the other hand it may also be that this person has psychological problems of personality. The fact that it is an interesting case and with the social networking has become a surreal story.

THE HIGH PRICE OF EDUCATION

The price of education is very high now. In public universities the price should be cheaper. A lot of people can't pay these prices for having a good education, because they don't have enough money.

I think that if the price of education were cheaper, would study more people.

Moreover, I believe that in the other countries the access to the universities is easier and cheaper , because they have a lot of economic aids for the persons that can't pay for to go to the university.

In conclusion, because our country progresses, the price of education should be cheaper, because everybody should study. And so we would have a country with young with more preparation, because everybody could access to the university or professional studies.

NEWS: Graffiti, demolition and angst in Shanghai

Demolition in China is often a sensitive, political subject: The economic development change the Chinese cities and change the old architecture. A lot of colourful, poignant paintings began to appear amid the rubble on at least two building sites. 

The publicity, though, attracted dozens of curious visitors and amateur photographers to one of the demolition sites in Shanghai's Jing'an district. They're the work of French graffiti artist Julien Malland and Chinese artist Shi Zheng. Some of those old houses that found themselves inadvertently in the middle of the open-air art gallery still have people living in them. As the walls are being torn down around them and they put red flags as a symbol of protest for the homes they don't want to lose.

This news explain that sometimes the little things are important and can make think the people. This story is an example of art that reaches the hearts of people and it can make art anywhere. The painting and many other types of art have always served to vindicate different things, especially social issues. 

The news explain that although the progress is good and also the construction of the big buildings sites is a breakthrough but before the old customs are also good.

I think it is a shame that these paintings have been destroyed, but I understand that the government need impede the access of people because these areas are already destroyed and the persons could have an accident.
