Saudi women's group assails judge over 8-year-old's marriage

According to Saudi women's group assails judge over 8-year-old's marriage, A eight-year-old girl was betrothed to one of her father’s friends under no knowing.Because her father wanted to resolve his debt problem,he “sold” the girl to the old man,who is forty-seven years old.Then,her mother issued a petition to dismiss the wide-gap marriage.However,the judges refused and announced this case shouldn’t be judged until the girl become an adolescent.

My reactions:
In my point of view,this kind of marriage has a lot of to do with their religion and their supreme perspectives of patriarchy.However,such marriage will do great harm to little children.For example,they can’t have a happy childhood as us,that will leave a lot of regrets to them.Second,they may have the wrong thought toward sex.Most important of all,almost of them will get hurt not only in physiologyand but also in mentality.They may feel confused when they are children but they must grow up someday and they will come to realize the whole thing.It’s just a matter of time.
It is right to pay respect to alien culture,however,I think this kind of situation should be revised seriously.With the great advance of technology,some custom and perceptions also need to be corrected instead of staying at the traditional stage.I think the equal rights for men and women should be emphasized deeply and executed thoroughly,not just speaking at random.(211 words)

Have your cake -- and eat it, too

According to Have your cake -- and eat it, too, the coverage shows us several useful methods toward eating;don’t count the eating season last how many days but focus on the specific festival so that it will make you more relax while eating.Second,we have to deeply consider the purpose why we eat,sometimes for desire and sometimes just out of vent.Furthermore,never drink with an empty stomach because it will make you eat out of control.

My reactions:

In my point of view,this is an interesting report because eating is related to our daily life.There is no one in the world but doesn’t depend on food.Most modern people are the men of Epicureanism and they pay much attention to delicacies.Though the declination of economy,many people are still willing to pay more money to satisfy their appetite.Take we students for example,we eat a big feast once in a while and what we usually eat is the snack.This kind of food always generates a crowd of youngsters for it is both yummy and cheap.
However,it is hard to control the food which you want to eat.Especially when walking along the night market.We are easily buying many snacks due to the impulse when seeing the wait-in-line crowd,smelling the aroma of the food and so on.No one can’t reject the power of food, we should enjoy it but in moderation.(212words)

My reactions:
There is a controversial film published in England recently.It records a motor neurone disease patient chose assisted suicide to end his life.However,it has cause a lot of negative reflections.Many people wonder that this coverage will encourage more and more mankind to commit suicide.
In my opinion,this coverage shouldn’t be published.With the great advance of media,many people will choose this action to end their life.In addition,children,for example,will imitate to kill themselves just for fun or out of curiousity.Furthermore,this negative news may arise a bad thought to those who are in depression.Such as the one diagnosed with cancer.Maybe he still has a great chance to recover,but his mentality is under fear.At that time,if he watches this action,he is likely to give up curing his illness and choose to kill himself,lefting many regrets.The power of media is vast and we shouldn’t overlook it.
However,in the last and worst condition,assisted suicide can be used to those who are suffered from terminal ill.Such as last-phase cancer patients or the invalids who are given emergency treatments over and over again.
As far as I am concerned,life is precious and we should live a meaningful life with positive and optimistic attitude.We should face all the challenges bravely so that we can say we have not lived in vain.(211 words)

Venice left high and far from dry by flooding

According to Venice left high and far from dry by flooding,Venice was again surrounded by water,and this time it arrived the record high.There was no street but remained dry.In addition,even the water buses were be disturbed because their platforms were also underwater.

My reactions:

When it comes to Venice,we always consider that country to be the “water capital”.It sounds really beautiful,right?I can’t image the interlaced water channels filled with the living environment.In my opinion,it is very interesting and a little romantic.Because my hometown is far from the sea,I think those who live near or on water are very lucky and happy.Take the Yangtze River for example,I have seen a series of its reports from the TV.I didn’t know the life appearance on water until I watched them.It’s very magic because the houses there are just above the water,and the local people catch fish to support their family.

I had a personal experience of water when I was at elementary school.It was the period that we took classes in the simply-constructed houses because many of our school buildings collapsed after the 921 and 1022 earthquakes.
The location of our shelters was our playground,a low-lying place.Once it rained heavily so that our playground was full of water.Everyone had to roll their pants up to go through this chaos.The water was very dirty,because some of them was from the rain while another was from the toilet.Though we all felt disgusting,it was still a rare and unusual experience.

Top Islamic body: Yoga is not for Muslims

According to Top Islamic body: Yoga is not for Muslims,The National Fatwa Council in Malaysia recently has promulgated a new tenet which asks Muslim not to practice yoga.Because yoga derives from Hinduism,they think it concludes inappropriate religious elements,chanting and worship all that will destory their faith of Islamism.In addition,they also banned women against wearing pants.Female wears trousers will be consider to be a tomboy,which “T” means a identification with homosex.

My reactions:

In the ancient India,yoga was one of the six philosophy departments.It had a lot of relation with Hinduism.However,now people practice yoga to strengthen their bodies.Modern yoga has appeared with various ways,every of them has its own effect.Doing yoga has numerous advantages.For example,it can relieve us from the exhausting life,increase our immune system,adjust the secretion of hormone and lymph,etc.
Moreover,yoga can rectify our bodies which benefits those who have a bent backbone.I am the patient of bent backbone,thus I chose yoga to be my P.E. class.
I hope my spine will be conditioned to a better situation after these classes.
However,every time when I do those actions,I feel painful all over the body.It seems that my body will be broken off.Painful as yoga is,I still enjoy doing it.I am looking forward to my body can be adjusted to a normal status.(201words)

'Pregnant man' and wife: We're a normal couple

According to 'Pregnant man' and wife: We're a normal couple, there was a man got pregnant.In fact,”he” was a female at first.She underwent some treatment and surgeries to translate herself into a truly man.After getting married,he was pregnant because his wife had a hysterectomy.
Instead of feeling strange,he thought it was a way to memorize their love.Thus,they published a book---- Labor of Love.

My reactions:

It wasn’t the first time that I heard this kind of news.With the advancement of the medical science,it is possible for men to get pregnant now.It’s a big revolution.In the past,people liked to exaggerate something as “sun rises from the westside” or “man can give a birth”.They no longer imagined that one day the latter sisuation would come true.
However,man with pregnancy always draws a lot of attentions.Some may consider him to be disgusting.They can’t accept a male,with a pregnant abdomen,walks on the street and has the same condition as a pregnant woman.As far as I am concerned,there is nothing unattainable in this new generation.There will be more magic inventions emerging. Thus,I won’t feel strange toward these special mother-to-be.I think we should give them more spaces and more encouragement instead of jeering them.All they want is have their own children as common.It doesn’t matter if they are same or different sexual.(205words)

5 Best Places to Travel in a Recession

According to 5 Best Places to Travel in a Recession,some costly tourist resorts now are becoming affordable to us because of the financial crisis.The following are five places that are suitable for travel during the economic recession---Iceland,Canada,Australia,Great Britain and South Korea.

My reactions:
In my opinion,take the more closing life for example,though the time is harder than before,costs on food,clothes,and traveling are less influenced,not only for upper class but also for commoners.Now it is a M-shaped society,the rich are becoming wealthier and wealthier while the poor is going to the opposite side.However,businessmen can still figure out some plans to overcome the recession.Such as the project that we can buy one item with another product presented free may attract more people.Second,discount is an essential part in the trade.Recently,the most hot marketing method I observe is the food stand.It is always started by young men who usually with a high educational background.The food they sell is delicious and original that always lures a flock of students and teenagers.Because of the its yummy and fairly price,this new kind of business really makes a fortune and becomes a dawn to us.
No matter how time changes,it depends on our intelligence and originality to fit in with the trend.Those who with these will survive and success.Now it is a generation of personal smart.(208 words.)

Health of the Mother

According to Health of the Mother,there was a debate between America presidential candidates.It was about whether late-term-abortion bans should include exceptions for the mother's health.

My reactions:

In America,abortion is a privacy and protected by the constitution:in former three-month pregnancy,women and doctors have complete rights to decide the abortion;in middle pregnancy,we need to obey the rules,which every state made,while in late three-month preganancy,every state can legislate against aborting.Compared to Taiwan,because of the random sexual behaviors,
abortion is no longer a rarely seen phenomenon.

As far as I am concerned,I have great esteem for life.I like children very much.And everytime when I see a new-born,a question comes into my mind-
why has abortion become a common currency? seeing the innocence face of a infant,I don’t know why we have the right to deprive one’s living without consulting with the unborn.

Since choosing to have sex behaviors,we can not over emphasize the importance of the contraception. Otherwise,it is common to have a child. Learning some abortion process from the nursing classes,I knew it is very cruel.Except for some special circumstances,such as abnormal or ill fetus,abortion should be banned.I think we should enhance the right concepts again and again.Life is valuable and has no chance to back,no one can decide others’ life.

Afghan court spares life of inquisitive journalism student

According to Afghan court spares life of inquisitive journalism student,there was a Department of Journalism student in Afghanistan sentenced to death penalty previously,but now changed into twenty years in prison.Because that he asked questions of women rights in class and he gave out an Internet article,which against the conservatism under Islam.

My reactions:

In an Islam society,there are many difference to us.For example,women have to wear long smocks from head to toe almost all day long.I think it has become a symbolic of Islam culture.Hence,we may consider Islam to be a crucial and stric religion.But we can’t forget that we grow up in the different place, political power,and most importantly,culture.So it’s unfair to compare.That is to say,we can’t put two opposite thing in a same level.

And about the penalty in the article,I think it is also a kind of culture difference.As the time goes by,not only the physical life but also the concepts improve.For instance,humans in ancient China have a lot of expression limitation,especially in the Ming and Ching Dynasty.They had serious literary persecutions,which always caused intellectuals doing their writings with fears.
At that time,there was still somebody believing the existence of democracy.
However,it really came true,now people have more freedom than before.Thus,I think the Islam countries will improve their rules.It’s just a matter of time.(206 words)

Classroom Politics: Should Teachers Endorse a Candidate?

According to Classroom Politics: Should Teachers Endorse a Candidate? there is a temporary prohibition against teachers issue on politics in class.However,this order interferes teachers with their freedom of speaking.Often in election season,teachers unions have enforced their members to stand in the same part.But school is the place to learn knowledge instead of promoting politics.

My reactions:

As far as I am concerned,declaring one’s political position is a strange and inappropriate behavior.Not to mention the fact that is the relationship with a teacher and a student.School should be a pure learning center.Though everyone has the right to say,I think that it’s better not to speak of the political issues in front of children.For fear that it might give children wrong concepts and arise the unnecessary quarrels.

For instance,my senior high school English teacher liked to give us English news reports to read.Once,she kept showing us the negative reports of the Democratic Progressive Party,and sometimes she revealed how much she hated that party.Despite of the fact that I didn’t belong any party,my feeling of that was not very good.Because I thought the topics related to politics were too tense.Take one of my classmates for example,she was the super fan of the DPP,so every time when the teacher lectured this kind of paper,she just put the paper away and fell asleep.This action,however,has must affected other students’ concentration on class.So I am for no politics in school.

Climate change could force millions from homes

According to"Climate change could force millions from homes",there are many people migrating because of environmental damages,such as desertification and flooding.Compared to the political refugees fleeing their country,they move to another place which is still located in their country.It is the continual crop failures caused by global warming that results in the migration.

My reaction:

I think the global warming is an unavoidable problem,and we must face it.In the past,I only focused on the sea-level rising.Now I realized what big influence other damages would cause as the sea-level rising.The famous example to sea-level rising is Tuvalu,located in the southern Pacific Ocean,has declared to leave for New Zealand since 2001.Seeing from that,it isn’t hard to imagine the power of naure change.
Not only the natual disaster but also the man-made calamities make our life change. Sahel,the most apparent desertification example in Africa,results in many problems,like air pollution and food shortage.Due to the large amount of population,people have to grow enough food to support their living.In this way, they use the land without limitation.As far as I am concerned,besides the rapidly-increasing population,the biofuels are another factors.A great deal of foods,such as soybeans, wheat and so on,are widely used to make biofuels.
So the hunger is spreading farther and farther.Every government has to figure out the solution,otherwise it will become a new flash point in global.(213words)

Cuba faces food shortages after hurricanes

According to Cuba faces food shortages after hurricanes(Reuters),Cuba was encountering food shortages,because of its state-run agriculture and the hurricanes which made this problem even worse.And nothing else was transported to there on account of the arrivals of the cargo ships will conflict with the government's price controls.In addition,its neighbor,America,refused to lift the embargo.

As far as I am concerned,I don’t agree the solution to natural and man-made calamities of communistic countries.They always take the nation benefits top priorty,ignoring the difficulties their fellows undergo.Maybe I should place myself in their position,but it’s a matter of regime.However,either adjust the over newly imposed price controls or try to solve the food shortages from other place should be taken to solve the crisis.Besides,I think the U.S. should temporarily lift the embargo and ignore the opposite relationship to Cuba for a while.In this way,Cuba can make some purchase to go through the hard time.

Look into the past,Haiti has offered us a good example.The food shortage in Haiti happened in April,2008 resulted in a great deal of disorder.First,people who underwent the famine gathered on the stree and they started to rob the shopstores.Second,they even shot the troops of the United Nations.In addition,their premier was forced to step down,which made him become the first summit leaving his office because of the rising prices on rice and soybeans.From this,it isn’t hard to see that the food shortage will result in many kinds of chaos.I think we should face it and make well preparation on it,because we can’t know if it will happen in our country or not.(254 words)
