Their final embrace

One of the news that struck me was the industrial disaster in Savar.

In this photo for example, you can see an embracing couple dead, surrounded by rubble and dust around.

It’s known that in this catastrophe have died more than 900 people, and around 2,500 people are injured.

This industrial catastrophe caused massive protests where many workers said that they were forced to work by the owners, although the owners knew that there were huge cracks in the building.

This news surprised me, but it has also transmitted to me lot of pain, the pain of this poor couple, especially the tear d of blood which goes down from the men’s eye.

Wraps: envolta

Man suspected of kidnapping and raping three women appears in court

Ariel Castro has been accused of kidnapping and raping Amanda Berry, Jesús Gine and Michelle Knight for more than a decade.

The three women were abducted at different times. Castro said to them that if they wanted him to accompany them at home, and they said yes. Then he took her to his home, where they stayed for ten years. For a few years they were subjected to abuse and tied until last Monday when one of the women, Amanda Berry, escaped and gave the alarm.

In my view, this happens often and appears on television. Although the girls see it, but they still go with people who do not know exactly who they are.

Vocabulary:

- Kidnapping: segrest

- Bail: fiança

- Has been charged: ha estat acusat

Brazilian woman survives harpoon shooting

A Brazilian woman , Elisangela Borborema Rosa, who is 28 years old, has suffered a terrible accident. She has survived after being shot through the mouth with an harpoon in a strange accident.

 

According to her family, she was in the kitchen when she was hit by the harpoon, which her husband was cleaning in the living room.

Then she was taken to a local hospital, but immediately they take her to a regional hospital, where some surgeons operated her.

Neurosurgeon Allan da Costa said that the harpoon came within 1cm of killing her.

Now, we hope she’ll be better.

And it’s true, at first it seems a bit strange, it seems like her husband has done it expressly. But of course, we are human and we make mistakes, and often we do things unintentionally.

Vocabulary:

-Shot: tret

-Bizarre: estrany

-Within: dins

TWO children walked out of a nursery and crossed a busy road without staff knowing they were missing

Two children, Layton Rimington who is four years old, and his sister Lilly who is two yeas old walked out of a nursery and crossed a busy road and anyone know that they were missing,

They were found 45 minutes after disappearing.

When the hairdresser, Anne Parr, call to say that she had found the kids wandering along in busy high street, they didn’t believe her.

Children's mum, Charlotte Rowley who is 23 years old, received a call from the nursery saying that there had been an “incident”, but they didn's say to her that her children had got out of the nursery and wandered down the street.

“The nursery didn’t really tell me anything. It wasn’t until I went to thank Anne that I found out what really went on” Said her mother.

It’s incredible how sometimes people are. The poor children were about four and two years old. And of course poor their mother that probably is who suffered more.

Vocabulary:

-Staff: personal

-frantic: frenètica

Iced Iced baby

When Rebecca was 36 weeks pregnant, the doctors diagnosed her a life threatening condition pre-eclampsia.

She gave birth to Lily, and she struggled for breath because after 30 minutes her brain starved of oxygen and it may swell.

The dangerous treatment which Lily needed to stop her brain swelling, could have killed her.

Lily’s life was saved when the doctors put her in a cooling bag after she was born.

After two weeks she was allowed to go home.

Lily, who will be three in August, is still small for her age, but has made a strong recovery.

From my point of view, Lily had much luck, and I wish all the children who suffer some disease can be cured.

Vocabulary:

- battling: lluitant

- chilling: refrigeració

- swelling: inflamació

- brain: cervell

A WOMAN who pushed a suicidal friend 25ft off a bridge and into the path of an oncoming train was yesterday jailed for attempted murder.

Victoria Dickinson is a 28 years old women who one day sat next Kate Wiggett, and then counted to three with her before push her off the bridge.

 

Kate was 28 years old too, and after been pushed, was retired from the tracks by passers when a train approached. She suffered multiple injuries including a fractured in the skull and spent a month in coma. Now she has made a full recovery.

Before of all this happened, Nottingham Crown Court heard Kate told that she wanted to kill herself by jumping off a bridge but he thought that she was “too scared to do it herself”.

Victoria Dickinson was jailed for three years and four months. The judge said that Victoria should have refused to help Kate commit suicide despite her repeated requests.

I think that if a person asks you to help him or her to commit suicide you should not do it, because what you have to do is help them to see that life is something which has worth, although sometimes things don’t go as we want.

Vocabulary:

- Bridge: pont

-path: camí
