Alleles Restrain mentions that the crisis does not have to be so bad.
People Just need to know how to make money from a bad market and there are even people who have been eating for this crisis, so they could make money. This all is strange, since everyone is negative about the economic crisis. Alleles tells us that it does not have to be a problem and if he can do it, more people should be able to make money out of the crisis. He also tells us that we need to prepare and not Just wait. He compares the crisis with a tumor. It really got me thinking, never thought like this about the crisis.

Some of his more moderate positions could be an obstacle for him to win votes from Tea Party supporters. He already ran for the Republic nomination in 2008. The attacks on Septet. 1 1, 2001 changed all his emotions. When asked in the interview if he thought 9/1 1 changed the country, he said it did mostly in good ways.
It made the people more realistic about the threat and there was an immense unity. He added, he wished that unity could also apply to other challenges, like the economic crisis. He thinks we should get over being Republicans and Democrats and think as Americans and get it solved.

I think this is interesting because I can’t believe how this can happen with the current technologies we got. Every country got specialists to predict things like this, especially for the risky areas. Here, in the Netherlands, half the country would be part of the sea without our dikes. It seems like there has to be a disaster first before people start thinking about solutions for problems. It should be otherwise. I Duration of entire activity | 30 minutes I grammar and register.

PH I My summary I At least of American adults wants to quit smoking, but it seems very hard for most of them, since most don’t manage to give up smoking successfully. During 2001-2010, smokers aged between 25 and 64 years often tried to quit mooing, but smokers aged 64+ barely try to quit. In view of the obvious difficulty in successfully quitting, there should be more professional help available. The people who are willing to give up smoking should be offered help, counseling and medication. I Duration of entire activity | 30 minutes I text.

One of the differences is the length of the articles. The article in the Telegraph is shorter than the article in the Sun. Also the type of language is different. The article from the Telegraph is harder to read then the article in the Sun. The words used are harder to understand. The sun also seems to have less respect for mister Cameron. They use PM instead of prime minister. Not a big difference but it doesn’t show that much of respect. I prefer ten article In ten sun, It’s sealers to read Ana unreason.

I My opinion I There is a beach with signs of radioactivity. In waste is there since world war 2. Since this much waste is found the government is not going to pay for everything. Finding the waste has been paid by the government, but they are not going to pay for the cleaning of it. The local people are really angry about this.

We need to listen, speak, read and write. So everything about the English language is in it. Also it’s really good that we have to do one, not that big, assignment each weak. So we keep in touch with English. Still I prefer assignments without time limits etc. Without the time limits we can skip a week if it’s a busy one or work ahead. So a bit more freedom would be very nice.

For a long time the economy did not grow. Everybody think it’s surprising, but I think it’s logical. Spending went down all over the world and we were in a recession so the economy can’t grow. I thought the world was doing great again and the economics were doing a lot better also.

The trainer left and there are a lot of issues with the management. Also a lot of played are injured and not able to play for long time. Frank De Boer is doing his best to get the team back in a great form but it’s not going well. They keep losing a lot. Everyone is blaming Frank De Boer, but I don’t think he can do anything about it. The team is Just in a terrible form and their best players are injured.
