Today: Americans in space, the NASA STORY

Next month, the space shuttle Endeavour will take off from Cape Canaveral to carry the final element of the International space Station up into orbit. When it returns to Earth, it will be prepared for its next destination: a museum.çIt will be 30 years since the first space shuttle, Columbia, took off on April 12, 1981. This was an event that was supposed to herald a new era when space travel would become routine, with 50 launches a year. Instead, the shuttle will be retired and, in future, US astronauts will have to use Russian rockets to reach the International Space Station. It is an ironic ending to the space rivalry of the Cold War years.
So, what went wrong with America's dreams of space travel, and what's next for Nasa, the space agency that has no spacecraft?

Texting danger

Even lifeguards can't resist the temptation to text. Bernard J. Fisher II of the American Lifeguard Association says he received a big increase in complaints about guards texting while at work. Lives are being endangered, if not already lost, he told The New York Times. Indeed, a 45-year-old Illinois man drowned last summer at a beach where the guard was said to have been texting. the Times partly blames the rise of students working as guards.

Pizza burger

Pizza or burger? Fast-food fans in New York will no longer have to make a choice. Instead they can order the new "Pizza Burger" from Burger King's Times Square restaurant. Beside the beef and a 24 cm burn, the Pizza Burger is topped with mozzarella, pepperoni, pesto and marinara sauce. However, with 144 grams of fat and 2,420 calories, it would take a four-hour jog to work it off!

Zombie school

Finally, a class to die for! Zombie studies is now being offered at the University of Baltimore. The course, which promises to "get you ready for a zombie apocalypse", invites students to devour classic zombie films such as Shaun of the Dead (above) and comics. Instead of essays, they write horror scripts for their ideal monster movie. The course is titled English 333, exactly half of 666, the number associated with Satan!

Reflection of the 2nd term - self evaluation

MY LEARNING:

1. DID YOU WORK HARD? Yes, I did. This term, I've organized a lot with the blog and I did all the work slowly from the beginning.
2. DID YOU ORGANIZE YOUR WORK WEEK BY WEEK? As I said, I organized by the beginning.
3. WHAT WAS MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU? The thing what I was more difficult for me, it was the writing: An opinion. Because it was more than our level, so it wasn't very good.
4. WHAT DID YOU LEARN?( new grammar, vocab..) I learn new vocabulary by the novel and the writing. In the writing more, because if I need one expression in English I look at the dictionary. For example: Throughout (al llarg de).
5. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO IMPROVE? I think that everybody need more vocabulary, for learn more that language. And the speaking too, because it's important to know how to pronounce the words, so if you speak well, the English people can understand you better.

ACTIVITIES IN THE LANGUAGE ROOM:

Write about the different activities.
Use I like/don't like.. I prefer/ My favourite..
Magazine reading and activities...

This year, I like the magazine Today, more than last course. Maybe it's for the new vocabulary and the news that are there. It's very good.
The speakings with Vicky there were very funny and we passed a good time together doing it. Also there are correct.
The writing: A biography it was very good, without any spelling mestakes. But the other: An opinion, it was terrible! It's too difficult for me, but I think that if I practise more, I'll do it better.
The magazines there were cool! I like Today and I would like to read more every term.
