Is it hard not to spoil your pet?
Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 03 février 2010, 08:32 - documents 6th form
Overweight pets are becoming a big problem in the UK.
Everyone likes to treat their pet now and then, but giving them too much food or too many treats can be bad for them.
So do you find it hard not to spoil your pet? Do you think you feed them too much or are you always buying them toys or costumes?
Maybe you think people get too obsessed with their pets?

What unusual animal would you like?
Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 03 février 2010, 08:26 - documents 6th form
A family in Kent have got some unusual animals hopping around their garden... wallabies.
They're not tame pets, but they do belong to the family and that got us thinking - what unusual animal would you like to have at home?
Miley Cyrus has said she'd like a kangaroo and Zac Efron wants a Liger - a cross between a lion and a tiger - but what about you?
Would you go for something exotic and scaly, big and furry, or small and cute?
Maybe you'd create you're own animal, a bit like a liger but mixing two other animals instead?

To give people electricity indigenous tribes and parts of the forest wil be destroyed.
Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 02 février 2010, 22:33 - news
In the Amazon rainforest the Brazilian government have decided to allow a massive hydroelectric dam to be built.
The Belo Monte dam would be the third largest in the world. The idea is that it will store enough water to provide electricity to twenty three million homes.
But lots of people think that building the dam is a really bad idea. They reckon that large parts of the rainforest will be destroyed in the process. Not only would that be bad for the environment - they think it would also be devastating for the indigenous tribes that live in the area.

In Bangladesh's capital city - Dhaka - the government have come up
with a rather unusual way of dealing with their massive traffic
problem.
They've decided that every day - all the shops and businesses in one part of the city will have to close. The city will be divided into seven zones and each zone will have to take its turn to shut up shop.
They hope that by doing this way less people will use the roads. But lots of people think the plan is a recipe for disaster. They reckon the parts of the city that aren't closed will get even busier because they'll have to absorb even more people. But for some shop workers who work seven days a week at the moment - it's a welcome break.
Do you think it's a good idea? Do you know other solutions?27 janvier 2010
Stuck in space !
Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 27 janvier 2010, 19:26 - news
A space craft got stuck in...well, space! The vehicle - called Spirit, got trapped on Mars last year and experts have been trying ever since to free it. So far they haven't been able to get it down. So, it looks like it might be staying there.

Drinking sea water.
Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 27 janvier 2010, 17:41 - news
In Australia, the people of Sydney will have sea water on tap.
The water will be treated at special plants to make it safe to drink. A
special process called desalination will remove the excess salt. These
plants are becoming a popular option for many Australian cities,
because it's a new source of water in a continent that is extremely
dry.

Detention,extra homework : writing lines or listening to classical music ?
Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 26 janvier 2010, 19:44 - news
Now writing lines, extra homework - that's what detention is usually
all about. But what about two hours of listening to classical music?
Well that's what's happening at one school in Derby. The Headteacher
reckon it calms kids down. So does it really stop kids messing around?
This is what onepupil said : "I'd prefer to, like, behave myself and talk at break times, than
have two hours after school" "So boring! I'd, like, rather go home and
not be naughty, than go for two hours in a detention listening to
boring music."
What about you? Send me your views on that.
