Energy conservation is the key:

This interview was few days before the earth’s international day 2009 when the EPA administrator Lisa Jackson sat down with the scholastic reporter Madison Hartke-Weber and talk about the agency’s plans for a cleaner, greener America.

The topics they talk in general terms were the public health; how was created the EPA? And that was created by a little group of young people that was concerned in pollution and contamination so they and approximately 20 million people go out and do that the government see all the environmental and natural problems the U.S. has to create some environmental and natural politics but the problem is that those politics cost to the government and if the people don’t see the problem or don’t takes care of it will cost more and the problem of those people that don’t cares of It or don’t see it continue the same so the consequences are hotter summers ,changes in weather , problems in the agriculture etc.

My opinion:
That was a good interview because the questions were easy to understand but a little difficult to answer so is nice to see that people of 11,12,13 ,14,15……years old are interested in that ,they know of that and they like that and that is important for our future environment and nature because now we can see kids are interested and we (the kids ) are the future of the world.
I think also EPA can start to be in other parts of the world because they are doing a very good job in U.S.A ad they can do it equal or better in the entire world.
I am agree with Lisa in two things conservation not only of energy is the key and that energy has a cost and we have to see the cost.
For finishing the EPA is doing a good work and has to continue like that in all the world.

The champion’s league

Hi I am going to tell you about a very important football event, the….
UEFA champion’s league!!!!

The first Europe competition of clubs was created one month later of the first congress of the UEFA that was on Vienna in March 2 of 1955, but the competition called Europe cup wasn’t initiative of the UEFA.

French fundators: In that time many of the fundators of the UEFA were more interested in create a Europe competition with the official country team .the French newspaper L’Equipe and its editor Gabriel hanot were the ones that publish a Europe clubs tournament and his partner Jacques ferran ,and they desing a competiton that was going to be played all Wednesdays .

The beginnings:

The tournament initiated by the L´Equipe doesn’t say that the teams that were going to participate have to be champions on their country, so they invite clubs with a lot of fans. Some representatives of 16 clubs were invited to a reunion the 2nd and 3rd of April of 1955 and the rules of the L´Equipe were accepted. The first match was played in Lisbon between sporting of Portugal and the FK Partizan that end with a tie 3-3. the Yugoslavian team won the match of return 5-2.

Records:

The Real Madrid is the team with more victories in the history of the UEFA champion’s league with 3 victories from the restructured of the competition. this team to is the one that more cups have with 9,then goes AC Milan with 6,and Liverpool with 5. the real Madrid has to the record of more times being in the final with 12.

My legacy

I want to let the world an animal foundation and zoo.
I want that this foundation called “Animals Health” because I think that animals have the same right of living , so I want that sick or hurt animals have a better life after the bad thing that happened to them .

I want to be remembered like someone who works with the zoo of the crocodile hunter Steve Osting in Australia. If I can, I want to have a T.V. Program on Animal Planet like Steve and help animals and the nature. (But I can't it is almost impossible.)

all this i am going to get it studing in colombia in any private university of cali or bogota that have that carrer and that carrer is biologi and administration and i want to especializate in zoology and biologi in Australia for accomplishing my dream.
I want to live in australia ,cali, and bogota but i thing i will need to travel a lot if i have the opportunite to accomplish other part of my dream.
i want to save all kind of animals ;of the desert, of the sea, of the forest, etc.

For someone’s can be ridiculous but for me is a dream help animals.

Summary about the article
Get all wet – in winter
With big slides and more thing. The water parks offer fun in any weather.

Tuesday, February 17, page C12

In a perfect 80 degrees, the wave bounce in your inner tube and your brother is going to “bite” leg like if he is a shark.

This emotion can describe glorious July day at the water park, but when you look the calendar and is February the cold February when you can do nothing.

But there are some indoor parks that tell you hey jump to the water now the water is perfect.

But now you can go to most elaborated water park is the great wolf lodge just outside of Williamsburg. Inside the family-themed resort that have a wave pool, a surfboard simulator and the four-story water for with a 1,000-gallon bucket.

If you have a bar, a baby and toddler area, and tables and chairs, is easy to spend a afternoon in the water park.

One morning jack Hitchcock of 12 years, and his brother William Hitchcock of 10 years were on the park to try out the park best attraction, the howling tornado.
The brothers come from Vienna and they were going to stay in the resort. only people staying at the resort can enter to the water park but still there are 400 rooms the resort can be crowded. Jack that give 31/2 stars of 4 complain that all was too crowded.


The water park is one of the parks that make a good sensation for a family that is looking a mini-vacation in winter.

Vocabulary: crowded: to be plenty full.
