Christmas tree in England


Every year give Norway one big Christmas tree to England. This big Christmas tree is at Trafalgar Square in London. The Christmas tree is a gift from Norway to England. Norway gives the tree because England helps Norway to be free from the Germany in the World War II. Norway gives the first Christmas tree in 1947. Today has Norway gives total 64 Christmas trees. When this Christmas tree shall cut down it is a tradition as Oslo and London mayor shall cut the tree down together.
 
It more than Oslo as gives Christmas tree to other cities in other countries. Bergen gives tree to Newcastle. Trondheim gives tree to Hamburg.

11th hour

Today, I  saw the movie " 11th hour". This movie is a documentary film. 11th hour is about global warming and why we must do for stop the global warming. In the film is it very many expert as comment about the global warming. They came with good proposal for avoid the global warming. The expert said also if the global warming not wil stop it will be big consequence.

When I saw the film, should we takes notes. We should takes the notes on three different way. First should we takes notes on Onenote. After that we should takes notes on paper. The last notes we should take was on GoogleDoc.

I liked to takes the notes on Onenote and Paper. Because I wrote faster at the onenote and paper. I had more focus when i wrote at the Onenote and paper. Also I understood my notes better.

GoogleDoc did not work for me becuase it was impossible to understand what they ohter in my class mean. Because someone wrote keyword.

·   You think there is more pressure on how you perform/write when you use blogs instead of writing a paper for the teacher only?
 
I think there is more pressure when I write a paper for the teacher. Because when you write on the blog, you think it is only a blog post. But if you write to your teacher you will write better because you will work harder trying to get text perfect.

  

·        Do you think the use of blogs reduces the difference between your work at school and your everyday life?

 

Yes, it reduces the difference between your work at school and your everyday life. Because I am more relaxed when I write the blog and I think I will be more relaxed when I write at school. Because of that. I learn very much when we write on our blogs. I learn very many new words when I blog because I have to look up words when I write. .

Cycle sport


People call Lance Armstrong a lot of negative things. I mean they should give other people who has been doing blood doping equal negative response as Armstrong has gotten. Very many of the cyclists has taken blood doping, but Lance has gotten more attention than the other cyclists. That is very unfair.

I think this case is very sad for the cycle sport. The cycle sport has had many incidents about blood doping and that is very sad because now people think everyone cheats in cycle sport. People will think that all cyclists are cheating.

I would say the cycling sport has gotten a very bad rumor, because people like Alberto Contador, and many of Lance´s old team mates has been accused for cheating. That is  not good for the cycling sport.

 This text interests me because I like sports and I have been following this incident. This case is very important because Lance Armstrong is one of the best cyclist in the world.
I mean this case is not so important to the society, but I think it´s very important to the cycling world.

Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong was born in 1971 in Texas, USA. Lance was a professional cyclist. Armstrong has won most of all cyclist in all time. He has won Tour de France sixe times, but now he is take for blood doping.
The Union Cycliste Internationale and USADA had found much of prove to take him for blood doping. In the started of this case USADA was not allow of the Union Cycliste Internationale to investigate about Lance Armstrong was blood doping, but USADA started to investigate this case.
 
Many of Armstrong old team mates has admitted they have used blood doping with Lance Armstrong. Lance old team mates claims Armstrong have got blood doping in his home and one Italian  Professor have made blood doping to Lance Armstrong. 
 
The Union Cycliste International  has choose to give Lance Armstrong a punishment. Lance lost all his Tour de France titles and he must repay all money he has won. 
 
Lance Armstrong has never said he is guilty.

South Australia: $1 billion must be cut on SA's state budget

Chatsamtalen er avsluttet

 
 
 
 
South Australia: $1 billion must be cut from the Government budget, Auditor- General Simon O`Neill warns,
..but where should the cuts be made?

In a fresh news article found in the Australian newspaper “Adelaide Now” it’s revealed that as much as 1 billion dollars are going to be cut from the state finances, and $240 millions out of the total sum is warned to be taken from the Health and Ageing Department.
According to a report based on a review of SA’s finances, the savings must be done within the two next years. To fulfill the goal, the Government has tried different sales, but they had to drag them in because the sales didn’t went out the way they wanted and expected.
The savings also caused a big pressure on the Government of many reasons. $1 billion have to be cut before the budget of 2016, and in addition, they have to figure out the difficult question about which areas to cut. They also have to reveal some of the actions they are planning, including 308 staff and 114 beds cut in SA hospitals!!
In Europe and The United States today, there are financial crises. And to me, it seems like the same is happening in Australia as well.

It was very unexpected because Billy Weaver finds out the old landlady stuffed her dead animals and stuffed the other guest. He find out he is  next one
