Scoop or scandal?

Scoop or scandal is a wonderful and suspense book and the protagonist is a young journalist and she goes to Tobania for investigating one massive industrial accident. It is a great book to read in one Sunday because I’m captivated.

Tricia Jenkins is a young journalist on The Daily Globe. She has worked for the newspaper for about a year. Her big chance comes when the newspaper's chief foreign correspondent returns from a trip to Tobania with a broken leg. He tells her about a massive industrial accident that has occurred in this small developing country. Tricia is sent to cover the story from the newspaper. As Tricia talking to the survivors in the hospital and investigate the causes of the accident. She begins to investigate the government's role in the accident, and to discover an alarming trail of clues pointing to the involvement of a British company, Loggins PLC. The company's chief executive is Tricia's father, and her boyfriend is one of the directors. Tricia is torn between her duty as a journalist, and her personal loyalties.

In this book the best part is the chapter where Tricia is going to help the victims of the massive industrial accident because she show his worry. Also the ending of the story I loved because Tricia show that she is a great journalist. Because she discover all the lies.

In general, I loved this book and I learn a lot of vocabulary. I give three Star Rating.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33020349

Summary:

The words I didn't know:

• Flibanserin (name of this drug) 
• Lobbying
• Bias
• Erectile

In US government panel approves a drug to treat low sexual desire in women. But the experts warn about the strong effects, for example fainting and tiredness. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has rejected the drug two times. But the results are very satisfactory, because the women that taking the drug have more events per month. Sprout Pharmaceuticals was aided by the women is rights group and affirm that a drug exists for the men and also must exist for women.But some criticized the campaign. If approved, this drug be aimed at pre-menopausal women.

In my opinion, this discovery for this drug is very important because in our society must have the same rights for women and men. If exist a drug to increase sexual appetite of men, also must exist for women.

Summary:

The words I didn't know:

• Maul: to attack.
• Game: animal.
• Sort of: kind of. 
• Lunged: to move forward quickly to attack.
• Rushed: to move quickly somewhere.
• Pass away: to die.
• Heed: to follow. 
• Put down: to kill.

In one game reserve located 20 miles north of Johannesburg one lioness attacked a 22 year-old American woman. The woman has been photographing the lioness from the car with the window down. According with the witnesses the lioness walked quite slowly towards the car and stopped roughly a meter away and finally attack. The ambulance arrived immediately, but they couldn’t do anything. Also a male South African companion was also injured, but now he is recovering in hospital.

In my opinion this fact is very unusual in this park, but the tourists they should be informed about the dangers. Tourist should be careful because their lives are in danger.

The use of drugs in sport

The last week in the philosophy class talk about the drugs and other substances in the sport competition. Few classmates are agreeing with this, but the rest of the class isn’t agreeing with this. The classmates that agree with this action said that all athletes will be at the same level. For example, if a boy was born with qualities, another child who doesn’t have we get it. But I didn’t agree with this, because if everyone uses drugs in sport didn’t be the effort and overcoming.

In my opinion the government and the different institutions have the obligation to control this thing. Because without control all the people would come a famous and extraordinary athletic without effort.

Daily life in cities

In big cities the daily life is very stressed because the people have very responsibilities and they have to do in a short time. The big entrepreneur has a lot of responsibilities and all, the day work very hard for getting big benefits. Also the workers work very hard and under a lot of stress. But once finished the work day the stress didn’t finish. To get home have more things for doing, for example, pick up the kids at school, go shopping, etc.

For this fact the people those livings in the cities going, during the holidays go to the cabin in different countries to shut out and relax.

Television is the cause of the reduction of the reading?

This weekend I am watching the television and now I can confirm that the majority of the programs are trash TV. Because much of the program is dealing with the celebrity exclusives, and this didn’t interested. In the trash programs I can see the people that the majority didn’t have journalist studies and all the people spoken at the same time. Sincerely I change immediately the program.

I prefer to read one book that watching TV, but most people like this type of programs and prefer to see that read. Recently the people read less and this fact is disappointing. For example the students only read compulsory reading and little students read other books on their own.

I think our society should take more interest in reading, as it is very beneficial.

Diets, is the endemic problem of the twentieth century?

The definition of the word diet is: such a selection or a limitation on the amount a person eats for reducing weight. But nowadays the young people do different diets, but didn’t control for a doctor or a nutritionist. And this fact leads to various problems down to eating disorders. Recently the statistics say the number of childhood increasing. But also increasing the people with bulimia and anorexia, because nowadays we attach great importance to physical appearance. The adolescents and the young people are obsessed with physical appearance and make much great nonsense.

I believe that this problem with diets have a solution, because with campaigns and give a talk about a healthy and balanced diet. Also, they must make aware that leading a healthy life and playing sports is achieved a healthy and wised body.  

Homeless in the city

The homeless is the people that having nowhere to live. In my opinion in the world, there are two types of homeless. One is the people that didn’t have a house and money and the second is the people who are forced to the mafias to beg. These people are brought here with false promises of work and the mafias forced them to beg for pay the trip.

The people that didn’t have houses and money often go the soup kitchens, but during the winter these people didn’t have refuge and live on the road.

In my opinion citizen avoid seeing these things and it is easier to turn your head and pretend they do not exist. But these persons are still there and need our help.

Commercials: use of the women image

Now come the summer and on the TV I can see more commercials. But in more commercials the women’s figure is very frequent. Also in these commercials the figure of a woman is very exploited because they often have one role very sexist. For example, in one commercial of detergent whenever being publicized of woman. But these facts also happen in others commercials, for example, in one commercial of the car whenever being publicize for mans.

In our society promote the equality, but is very difficult because nowadays has a lot of inequality, for example: in many enterprises the salary is different about men and the women.  

In my opinion the enterprises of commercial take measures and that appear mans in detergent commercials and vice versa.

Argumentative essay.

In this writing we can read an argumentative essay about the advantatges of life in the city versus life in the country. 

On the hand life in the city has a lot of advantatges, for example the inmediatly acces to the health services. Also we can obtein all the products that we need without long travel. For exemple if you living in the country and you need to buy a car, you go the city. Also in the city we have more facilities to find new job, and in one estreprise when valoretedwe studies. 

On the other hand in the country there are more advantatges that living in the city, for example the quality of the farmed produce. In the country the growers life off the organic produces. Also in the country the environment is better because we didn't poullut with the chemicals and toxic gases. 

In counlution, the quality of the live in the country is better, because the organic produce have more benefits that the food of the city.

An opinion essay. We are taking care of our planet. Do you agree?

In my opinion our planet is taking better care but slowly. Nowadays all the citizens and majority of the big and small companies do different campaigns against the situation of the planet. 

first of all, I don't agree with the people that say that the planet is getting better. Because our think that the planet improve but it isn't the truth. At the moment in news I can see diffrent maritime accidents and all the combustible is dumped the Maditeranean Sea. 

Secondly, although our country is improving the developed countries shoved help the developing countries.

in conlusion, I think that the improvemait is very small. But I hope that all the citizens will colaborate and improve the planet and the econimic system.
