In my opinion, my topic was the most interesting. Because I chose it, and I presented it. That's the only reason Why "closure GM plants" should be the best topic. Hahahoho.
Sorry, but nobody seems to leave the comment. So I did it first. :[
I think that the news Abel talked about English learning was the most interesting, but it was a pity to hear that Taiwan was not in the list. This shows that not all of Taiwanese focus on learning English. I think our government should encourage people to learn English and let our next generations can have a better environment to study English. Make Taiwan become a developing country. I think it’s the best way for us.
I think a gasoline price is the most important news. These days, people don't like to use their cars. Also, the governments are thinking about measures. In Korea, goods traffic union is planning to turn out. It'll be serious problem. Lots of companies are watching the situation very carefully. The world's economy is sensitive about the price. I think we should save the gasoline, and we should take a publice transportation.
The most compelling news to my mind was Maxime Bernier's Scandal. It made me feel surprised that even though Maxime already knew the fact that his ex-girlfriend, Julie, was deeply involved with people who were related to illegal things, he didn't care about that.Furthermore, it was more surprising that she was a force in his political life.
He isn't just a man. He is one of leaders in Canada. All aspects of a leader's life can strongly affect their society. Therefore, I think it is important that leaders have honest and trustful people around them who can influence them in a good way. In this terms, it can be considered that Julie had a influence on Maxime. I can say that he does not qualify to be a minister who leads a country, from seeing that he had an immoral girlfriend.
I was thinking about the driver should wear seat-belt is very important. Now many people has their own cars. Sometimes they were thinking wear seat-belt is a trouble things,but wear seat-belt just a easy things for everyone. Just do simple things will save our life, why can't we do that?

The most intereste story for me is "Alcohl driving" shown by Sammi. Because in japan also, it is serious ploblem, and the law became stricter a few years ago. States quite simply,the penalty became about $5000, and in case the drunken driver is serious, it rise up to $10,000. It have a too much rule, so I can't explain everything. In my case I don't like alcohl very much. I will never touch this law.
The most compelling news is Euro 2008 because I like to watch a soccer. Also it's time to continue Euro 2008 now. But sad point is I can't watch the game during I stay in the school. Carol~ if I want to watch the game, can I finish the school early. I really really want. Please~
The privatization water in korea is compelling to me, because the water are all human property, the govermant can't make profit from their citizen or residence. If the price of water are increase people will tension for their monthly comsumption, that is fair to poor people.
