I read the article about an amazing marathoner!
She is 91 year old who participated marathon in San diego. The oldest woman run over 7 hours in the race. Finally, she completed it. The woman was ill due to blood cancer, but she had fighted it by herself. I think she has a special ability to overcome suffering of her life. Her friends also ran in order to get money for remedying friend’s cancer.
The amazing oldest woman is a rare person. Though she was in despair situation, she never give up her life. It could be respected by ordinary people.
This story give me strong inspiration.

I read an article about the twins. They are indentical twin girls, but they had some risks when they were in their mother’s body. Although they had the biggest risk that were being twisted together in their mother’s bag, they could survive. In this case, nomally, babies of 70 percents die when they are in their mother’s body. It is a miracle that they just can survive. Also, there are interesting things. One of them is they were grabbing onto each other’s hands when they were born. Another thins is their mother could hold them just in time for Mother’s Day. They gave the most pleasure for their parents as they survive.
I read about a World Cup fans in space and the astronauts wishes for everybody a great Word Cup with fun and peaceful games. They`re three men, one German and two Americans. They`ve trained together for years to work as a unified crew. Then, the news showed a big turtle they called Host Brazil making a kind of prediction about who is going to win the game Brazil x Croatia, and it was correct!
My level is 2 , i watched article’s name is Student is robbed . It’s happened in London night , one student who was walking in street and a man chatting with him . Then try to kill him and stole his watch . I think it’s really dangerous if you go out alone on night , like the student who study abroad and have to take care themself better .In my opinion ,that action is bad ,if you need money you can by youself.

Hi I’m Angela and my level is 3 (can’t believe it!!).
I read an article about the heaviest (GWR certified) man’s death, his name is Manuel and he’s from Mexico. He died few days ago after many healthy problems due to his weight (like a small truck), of course he died young, less than 50. He spent most of his life at home, working on his laptop, eating burgers, pizza and tacos. He went out, after being hoisted in a truck, just for his marriage. A truck was used for the transportation to the funeral home as well, and then he was cremated because it was impossible to find a coffin of that size. His lawyer alleged that “it’s not a dignified way to go” and it had been better that nobody had seen him in those conditions.
My level is 2.
I read a story about bus on fire. On 28th May 2014 15:00. A school bus on fire on the highway Fortunatily, nobody was injured and the bus drive who is smart moved the bus to the side on the road and exited before the bus was in danger.
In the most important way, the bus should not have been parked near the fire engine and the people who met an accident should pay more attention to their drive.

Friday Morning, people woke up in Brazil and keep talking about the mercy occurred when a lucky escape for the crew and passengers on a jet, as it managed to make an emergency landing in Brasilia.
The local Television broadcast it as the pilot thought that the airplane should be reduced the weight and shed fuel before attempting the landing, because it may explode as a result of friction, as the landing occurred just with back wheels and the nose was directly touch the earth without wheels.
The good news that, None of the 49 passengers or crew of 5 on the Avianca Brazil Fokker 100 jet were injured in the landing.
In the end these accidents may occur anywhere in the world but the it is decreasing annually.

The article that I read is about a funny commercial that the Pepsi Max Company decided to do with people at a bus stop in London. They did it to give commuters an unbelievable moment in their day.
People are there, waiting the bus when something unexpected happens: the glass show them an alien invasion, giant robots and a Bengal tiger on the run. The different reactions are very funny because people were really scary. Absolutely, it was a very creative initiative. I love this kind of video because I am thinking how could be my reaction if something like that happened with me.

Two extreme thrill-seekers took the plunge from the top of the 104 story building called the World Trade Center. They jumped using helmets and parachutes, one after another from the top of the building.
Security cameras around the World Trade Center got them landing and making their escape on foot.
Four men have been accused of organizing the stunt, and they were arrested on charges of burglary and reckless endangerment.
A lawyer representing one of the men characterized them as “professional thrill-seekers”, and said that all four men would plead not guilty.
I read about news sport exactly about bubble football the story toll is their Some English cricket players are training. The training is quite boring. The players want to make the training more fun. One day a week, they play football. This is not a normal football. It is a new type of football. It is special. The players must wear a bubble.

I read the news about Small Boy On A Skateboard.My level is 2. The boy from Australia is two years old. He’s started skateboarding since he was just 6 months old. Now he can skate down the streets or everywhere. Could you walk even when you were 6 months years old? Fortunately, he could walk n skate at that time.
One couple in Texas had five babies who were just 29 weeks by caesarean section, although there was maybe a 10 percent chance of having twins. It took around 24 medical staff to help in the birth of the babies, who tipped the scales at weights from two pounds and seven ounces to three pounds and six ounces. They were so tiny that they had to take all the machines and tubes. They have been longing to touch their tiny kids.
The article is about two hockey teams in Slovakia. It is said that the goalie of the home team was hit on the mask and so he felt on the ice and was unable to play. After the goaltender recovered he created his own fight against the other team’s goalie. After they have finished their fight the game could continue, and both goaltenders were sent off the ice rink.
I would say well done boys! It’s not often, that two goalies fight against each other, but sometimes it has to happen and I was glad that I could find this article as I love hockey
P.S. my level was 3
My level is number 3.
The article talks about a team of 222 skydivers from 28 different countries that had come to the U.S to try a new record for the biggest team to complete the performance before open the parachute. But, unfortunately, the german Diana Paris had problems with her main parachute and then the reserve chute didn`t open in time to save her life. Now the team has to move on with their challenge without this great experienced skydiver.
Earthquake in Chile
Chile was heated by the 8.2 magnitude earthquake. It made a two over meters big tsunami which took over at least five people’s life. The woman who lived in a apartment could not do anything without praying with her daughter when earthquake was coming. Thousands of people had been on the move because of the tsunami, told by the authorities. There were a number of tremors around Iquique areas. And one of the jail was broken by the earthquake so that many people took advantage to escape. Until now, 16 women has been recaptured, others are still escaping.

Article Summarize.
Some very brave men, daredevils, have attempted to walk between 2 hot air balloons in the 10000 feet up air. Daredevils try to across a slackline, but they failed.
We called this people who cross the air are skyliners. And it is very dangerous things. First time they failed, but they say when weather is good they try to across one more time.
