    "The Playgrounds of Pakistan"

    This is an article about a man's thoughts about Pakistan.He grew up in Pakistan and his name is Rafia Zakaria.He said that Pakistan is not same as old Pakistan.He says "Not far from the house where I grew up in Karachi, Pakistan, there was a children’s amusement park. It sat on top of a hill, its slides and swings beckoning children from the houses below. As summer vacations dragged on, my brother and I would hear the gleeful screams of other children, and we begged my mother to take us."He said that in their time they couldn't go because swings were risky but now they couldn't go because there are bombs.He is sad for kids because they can't have the same joy as them and some of them die.When they were little even if they were scared of swings they went but now swings are not scary ones.I am sad for all these kids too because we are living such a nice life,not very nice because of bombs, they are dying because of the bombs.

    “Canada plane crash on Quebec island kills several”

    A plane crash happened in an off the east coast of Quebec. Canadian transport minister, mr Lapierre, and his family members were among the victims of this horrible crash. Mr Lapierre, who was 59, worked as a political analyst for CTV and other Canadian media outlets. One of the networks announced that mr Lapierre's wife, two brothers and sister died in the crash on their way to mr Lapierre's father's funeral. Former Prime Minister Paul Martin said: "He was a very good political analyst, he was one of the best, but he was also a superb political figure in this country and it was a great privilege to work with him." I think people should be more be careful about plane crashes. If no one cares, then no one can fix this problem. Right now there's so evidence of how it happened but Officials with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada travelled to Havre aux Maisons Island in the Magdalen Islands to determine the cause of the crash.

    Lahore bombing: 'Pools of blood and abandoned shoes'

    As we know that there was a bomb in Lahore and killed like 70 people.This was heartbreaking because the bomb exploded in a park, where children have fun with their family. And this seperated many child from their parents. Now the survivors are scared to go out because they have never experienced something quite like this. And they are afraid that similar thing can happen. For some reasons, in our country when a bomb blast happen, after like two days, we just keep going to our work, school… But in Lahore, I think they had never experienced something like this, so now they are afraid to go out. The security level is increased and they are saying that ‘we are prepared’ but we don’t know. This news is actually not new for us. Like we experienced a lot of things and we managed to ovecome those things. But these countries are not experinced. And also we should not be scared of these blasts because their goal is to scare us. And in my point of view they are getting where they wanted to be. Like they got me because I am scared of these. To sum up I think we should not be scared of these even though I am scared, and we should be prepared for these.

    Did Cook discover or invade Australia? A top university in Australia says it's students that it is invasion...

    We always cover the faults in history with good word which can replace cruelty. Like replacing invade word with discovery. I think we are confused about these words in the discovery of Australia. Because we always say that Cook discovered the Australia but according to University of New South Wales Captain Cook didn't discover Australia he INVADE Australia.We always ignore the difference between these two words. Maybe it is for covering the cruelty of humans or for not remembering the bad times again. I don't know why actually but I know one thing. And it is the Australia invaded, occupied and colonized not just discovered as much as I can understand from the news. So we should change even the beginning of the history books. It shouldn't be Captain Cook's Discovery; it should be Captain Cook's Invasion.

    Syria conflict - Aleppo's destruction seen from above

    This news is a different Syria news. Because normally I post the attacks in Syria. But this time I am going to talk about how these attacks affected Syria. Syria's largest city Aleppo has been bitterly contested between rebels and government forces since 2012. Years of fighting caused massive destruction, until a partial ceasefire took effect at the end of last month. In this news there was a drone which can reach to a high level. This drone showed every single area that Aleppo has and thrust me it is horrible. All of the buildings were destroyed, there were no place to even farm. That dirt is seriously dangerous for the plants. That place was nearly wiped out from the earth and we as a human being need to do the right thing…

    "The World's Most Expensive Trainers"

    The world's most expensie trainer shoes were designed in New York, by Bicion and Mache Customs. The shoe was dubbed as "The Fire Monkey". The blue trainer is covered with hundreds of little white diamond pieces and they have hundreds of sapphires sets in 18 carat gold. I think these were not enough, so they decided to put the shoe on sale with a solid gold price tag. If you would like to buy one of these, you would have to pay $4 million and that is equal to £2.7 million. I think it is funny because I wouldn't give this much money to something and wear it to my feet but it is something different, the proceeds that will come from the shoe's sales will be used for a good cause, so it may be worth it. In the news it doesn't say what that good cause is but it has to be a very strong fact to make people give that amount of money.

    30th march 2016

    As we know that a plane that aimed to go to Cairo from Alexandria,was hijacked by unknown people. Luckily nothing happened to anyone and this incident didn't occur by the terrorist but it is still unkown that why they did this. On the other hand while the plane was flying over the mediterrian sea, passengers shocked because they were going to Cairo from Alexandria. By the way a guy asked them to give their passports and the passengers were all shocked. I hope this won't happen again.
