A. Have you talked to her?
B．No. Not yet. I'm in two minds about calling her.
A．Why? I think you should.

First, in my country all cities are a specefic look,
for example you can view more than one landscape like a sahara, ice lands and also there is a grass and trees and much much more others,
The problem is a lot of people INSIDE Morocco there was not knowing its contry, why? I don't.

So, for that i will create a association to help people for knowing its culture, history and nature.

Thanks to all.

Hi, my name is Robert, Robert Johnson. I was born on June 5th, 2002, so I'm fourteen. I live in Manchester, at 3 Glenwood Lane. I've got one younger brother, and two older sisters. Oh! And I've got a cat and a dog too.A big family! Uh... After school, I go running for half an hour and then I have a shower before doing my homework. My favourite school subject is English. Errr... I like football a lot. I play in a team this year, but contrary to my sisters, I hate dancing and singing!

Norman Rockwell's runaway boy revisited.

In response to the recent events in Ferguson, Missouri, New York City-based illustrator Anthony Freda has reworked the iconic image to draw attention to the changing public perception of police officers.

In Freda’s update, which he created last Thursday, the policeman is wearing a riot helmet and bulletproof vest and has an assault weapon by his feet. Next to him is a frightened looking black boy, suggesting that half a century later, America is a long way off from the quintessential Americana associated with Rockwell’s work.

Freda made the piece digitally, drawing the boy and policeman over Rockwell’s original. The artist used contemporary photographs as references, images that have become seared in the public’s consciousness since Michael Brown died in Ferguson on August 9 from the six bullets fired from a policeman's gun.

Hi! I’m Amy Grant and I am 15 years old. I am currently enrolled at Seattle Public High School. This is my first year in high school, so I’m a ninth grader. I love high school, it’s a real nice place to study and learn: there are so many subjects and extra-curricular activities that are offered that you can never get bored. Besides the mandatory subjects, you know, math, English, science and technology, social studies and PE, I’m taking a Japanese class. It’s an optional class but I think learning foreign languages is absolutely essential nowadays. I’m also part of the speech and debate team, and the film and television club as I would like to become a journalist on TV. Next term, I think I will also join the food club to help promote healthy food in our school. The food at the canteen is really fatty so, just like many students, I prefer brown bagging it, you know, bringing my lunch bag to school. If you’re more the sporty type, there are many teams to join, as well, such as the wrestling, soccer, lacrosse or crew teams, for example. My friend Lisa is a member of the belly-dancing team and they have competitions. How cool is that!
Like most students in the US, I attend a public school. The rules in my high school are pretty strict, especially as far as the dress code is concerned. As you may know, in Florida the weather is quite hot all year round, but there’s no way we can wear bikini tops to school! We must dress appropriately, which means no ripped jeans, and no super-short shorts. Flip flops are allowed, though. I’m glad we don’t have to wear uniforms! Our school day starts at 8 a.m. and usually finishes at 3 p.m. We have a one-hour lunch break and the class periods usually last between 40 and 60 minutes. We regularly have tests and the teachers use letters to grade us. If you do a great job on your test, you’ll get an A. But if you fail it completely, you may get an F! We don’t have one big exam at the end of high school, but instead we have finals in each class at the end of each semester.
I’m really having the time of my life right now! High school is like in the movies or series! You can meet all different types of students: the geeks, the jocks and the cheerleaders, the art crowd!
I just can’t wait to go to the senior prom and to see our year book! I think I’d like to stay in high school forever!
