UK athletics federation demands for world records to be rest

〈Summary〉

Britain’s athletics federation called for all world records to be reset on Monday. It is because drug cheats and corruption scandals are serious. UK athletics also said that serious drug cheats should face a lifetime ban in ″A Manifesto for clean Athletics″. Ed Warner said trust in the sport is at its lowest point for decades. The bid doping scandals were happened in Russia and Kenya. The British 14-point manifesto  calls for WADA to furuther tighten rules on permitted on permited drugs, a public register of all tests and for all athletes at world championships to have a valid biological passport.

〈My opinion〉

There are serious drug cheats at today’s sports. So, I am going to think about drug cheats. I  think we don’t have to reset all world records. It is because there are a lot of athletes without cheating. So, I think we should reset records that athletes put out by drug cheats. I opposite drug cheats. It is because we should put out records by own efforts, not by drugs. In conclusion, I think we should not reset all world records.

Tim peake is a British astronaut and he investigates Mars. He will blast off on a six-month mission for the European Space Agency in December.The mission is titled Principia after lsaac Newton’s groundbreaking Naturalis Principia Mathematica. He would be carrying out a series of scientific experiments, including some medical research by his own body. The space station traveling at a speed of 5miles per second.

〈Opinion〉

A lot of people are interested in space.  But there are a lot of things about space that we don’t know. Though it is very difficult for us to understand  space, we can know about astronauts. So I think that we should be interested in astoronauts.

Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian was arrested for spying. The verdict has been issued in the trial in Iran. If the judgement is confirmed, he will be put in prison for 10 to 20 years. His wife who is also a journalist and two photojournalists were arrested in July in Iran.

The advantages of biofabrication

I have had no doubt about killing animals for food and clothing before watching this video.  I realize the seriously of this problem now. We maintain a global herd of 60 billion animals to provide our meat, dairy, eggs and leather goods now. To maintain herd of animals has bad influences on environment. For example, gobal warming, diseases  and oportunities for harm and abuse.

In this video, biofabrication was introduced. Biofabrication is technology that grow  logical  products like tissues and organs by cells themselves. It enables to get leather and meat without killing animals.

I think biofabrication is good way to solve these problems and should be promoted by governments for three reasons.

First, biofabrication has no bad influences on environment. To maintain herd of animals causes a lot of problems. So, I think biofabrication is important for us to survive.

Second, biofablication makes it possible to prevent illegal hunt. Today, there are a lot of illegal hunts to get leather or meat and many animals are threatened by extinction in the world. We can get meat and leather without killing animals. So, I think biofabrication can help animals from illegal hunt.

Third, biofablication can be used for medicine. There are a lot of people who suffer from diseases.  Biofabrication makes it possible to make tissues and organs by cells themselves. I think the problem of organ transplant will be solved by biofabrication in the future. So, I think biofabrication can solve not only problems of animals but also problems of human.

Of   course, I think biofabrication has problems. I will tell you one of them.

Biofabrication is cutting-edge technology and costs a great deal. Though biofabrication is need for developing countries, it is difficult for them to use it.We sould make efforts to reduce expenses. And government should promote biofabrication.

In conclusion, I think biofabrication makes it possible to solve these problems and shold be promoted by governments.VOICE_20150719_2155~01

Why Guatemala is one of the worst places in the world to be a child

〈Summary〉

Guatemala is victim of one of the world’s longest civil conflicts. It continued for 36 years. The civil conflicts left a deep scar in society, in which violence was normalised. This year, world leaders will agree new global goals that will guide world development for the next 15 years‐ the so called Sustainable Development Goals. It is vital that these goals include a robust target to end abuse,exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence and torture against children, so that this becomes s priority for all countries. This will help unlock the action and investment needed to prevent violence against children, support survivors, and ensure they get justice.

〈My opinion〉

The civil conflict in Guatemala left a deep scar in society, in which violence was normalised. So, they think that Guatemala is worst places in the world to be a child. I think it is important  the environment that they grow up in their childhood.  So it is important for us to maintain the environment where children grow up. I think we have to think this problem more seriously. I think the countries around Guatemala have to send people and goods. But it is very difficult to accomplish immedeately. So, we have to think this problem seriously for long time.

Latin America’s wake-up call on global school tests

<Summary>

There have been concerns that the quality of education has been stagnant in too many countries across Latin America.But we couldn’t measure the quality of education in Latin America against global standards. So, Pisa tests are conducted every three years by the OECD.In Latin America, the regional rankings of these international tests taken by 15 year olds . But most countries remain off the ranking completely. The Pisa exam has also generated significant controversy. It dose not adequately measure the quality of instruction. Or that it dose not truly capture the diversity of contexts facing such different school systems.(98 words)

<My opinion>

The theme of this article is the quality of education in Latin America. The quality of education in Latin America is low compared to global standards. I think that this problem is very serious. And I think it is impossible to solve this problem by Pisa tests.It is because there are a lot of problems they should solve before the quality of education. For example, crimes,the crimes by guns and poverty. I think those problems should be solved. By solving those problems, they can consider about the problem of education. I think that the countries around the Latin America should help. In conclusion, there are a lot of problems should be solved before the education problem in Latin America.(112 words)
