News Article 4

"Iraq's main motorcycle market was hit by a bombing that killed 13 people and wounded dozens..."

My Opinions: More and more bombing happened in Iraq. I think the bombers should think

of what they are doing and stop their actions. Many could have died because the bombing and

they do that as they want to terrorise the government. I think it is a very selfish act as they did

not consider who did they killed to get the government's attention. I think they could do

something else that could get the government's attention and yet does not harm anyone

Newspaper Article 3

"British authorities have confirmed the first swine flu death outside the Americas, marking a new stage in the spread of the virus which has infected almost 30,000 people worldwide.

Three days after the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic, the government in Scotland said an infected patient who also had "underlying health conditions" had died in hospital"

In my opinions: H1N1 is becoming more and more dangerous and its spreading wordwide. I

think the World Health Organisation should hurry and find the cure for the H1N1 virus or more

people will suffer. We will be affected as the virus could also spread very quickly country by

country which means that Singapore could be the next 'victim'. We should put on our guards and

if caught a cold, we must visit the doctor immediately to find out the problem.

Newspaper Article 2

"The Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis said that it has a swine flu vaccine ready for trial as governments stepped up precautions to counter the new declared influenza pandemic."

In my opinion : I think swine flu is a very dangerous as thousands of people could have died

overnight because of this disease. Now, the swine flu vaccine was ready for trial and if it

successed, a lot of people could have been saved. it will greatly affect us as we could be swine flu

free and lots of us could travel overseas. Many people had planned to go overseas but because of

the swine flu, they had to cancel the plan as they or their children do not wish to get the disease.

But now due to the swine flu vaccine, we could go overseas again. The only problem, is that if it

was unsucessful, it will give us lots of false hope.

Passer-by pushes 'nuisance' suicide jumper off a bridge

Summary : "I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interests," Mr Lai was quoted as saying by the China Daily newspaper.
"They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities attentionto their appeals."


In My Opinion: I agreed with Mr Lai as the jumpers did not considered anything about their family members and people who concerned about him. They just want people to know about what he had done and the people to help him out of his trouble. I think his action is really stubborn.

China milk boss admits delay in reporting danger

The former boss of the company at the heart of China's tainted milk scandal has pleaded guilty to selling dodgy products and admitted she delayed reporting the danger. The former head of Sanlu Group, told a court that she was informed in May that children were falling ill from Sanul's products but she did not alert authorities until August. Maybe she did not said because of money and because of that i think that she's very selfish. The former head of Sanlu Group and three other company officials stood trial in the northern city of Shi jia zhuang over a scandal that killed six children, sickened nearly 3 hundred thousand, and prompted a worldwide recall of goods containing Chinese milk.

Tough sentences in China over huge piracy ring

A Chinese court has issued tough sentences to members of a huge software counterfeiting ring, which distributed more than two billion dollars' worth of fake Microsoft goods, the company said. The court in the southern city of Shenzhen and sentenced 11 people to jail terms of up to six and a half years for making high quality counterfeit software that was sold in 36 countries. I think they should be sentenced to jail for a longer time. The illegal syndicate, based in the southern province of Guangdong, pirated versions of 19 of the company's most popular products, which were produced in at least 11 languages.
