Rugby World Cup 2007

The 2007 Rugby World Cup is the sixth Rugby World Cup, a quadrennial international rugby union world championship inaugurated in 1987. Twenty nations are competing for the Webb Ellis Cup in the tournament hosted by France from 7 September to 20 October. France won the hosting rights in 2003, beating a bid from England. The competition comprises 48 matches over 44 days. Forty-two matches are being played in ten cities throughout France, as well as four in Cardiff, Wales and two in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The eight quarter-finalists from 2003 were granted automatic qualification, while 12 other nations gained entry through the regional qualifying competitions that began in 2004 - of them, Portugal is the only World Cup debutant. The top three nations from each pool at the end of the pool stage will qualify automatically for the 2011 World Cup.
The competition opened on the 7 September at the Stade de France in St-Denis, which will also be the venue of the final match on the 20 October.
In my opinion Los Pumas will be fighting for the the first place. In your coments I want you to write in which place you thing Argentina will finish in the competition.

Animals in my country.

Nowadays as I live in a poor and undeveloped country, lot of animals like dogs or cats are abandoned on the streets in deplorable conditions: suffering because they are sick, hungry and dirty. But it is also true that lots of people love animals and they take care of them as if they were persons.
On the streets we can see horses pulling carts and also their owners do not feed them in the appropriate way and treat them cruelly, for example by hitting them. There are plenty of stray dogs and cats that are sick and eat rubbish and they are also a danger for us because they can transmit illnesses.
Many people love animals because they are a great company. So they take care of them everyday: they take them to the veterinarian regularly, give them the vaccines they need and feed them with the appropriate food for them to be healthy. Last week I watched a commercial on TV of a famous woman that instead of having children, had two dogs. They has their own room, bathroom, special clothes for every social occasion and they also got marries. The marriage consisted of a ceremony and a big party with hundred of guests. There is also a woman that lives with fourteen dogs and ten cats inside her house!!!
I am not a fan of pets, I had a dog since I was two years old and it died last year. I loved that dog, it was unique for me and anyone is going to be like that. Now I have an other dog but I don’t have a closed relationship with it, it is nice and very smart but I will never love a dog as my first one. I hate cats, I get nervous with them because I don’t trust in them and I believe that they betray they owners. I had a little rabbit once when I was four years old and I was fascinated with it, I fed and clean him and I could stay hours playing with it but one day I hug it so hard that it stop breathing and die so I was very upset and disappointed so I never got an other one. Well you can see that I have bad luck with animals so I am not a fan oh them but I would never treat them in a bad way!
I think that it s a good idea to have a pet but the owner has to take care of it, always. They are a great company for kids or for old people. My grandma's best friend was deaf and she had a dog that when the bell or the phone rung he went to her and carried her to it so, it made her life had sense and helped her a lot!…. But animals are not humans so their roles have to be respected, they have to live outside the house surrounded by nature not trapped inside it!.

Brave new world! From charlie s blog!

We are reading BRAVE NEW WORLD and this is one of process of Bokanovsky's Process, where people are creat out of mother. In first place, they separate the eggs in Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas and Epsilon. They are put in test-tubes and in a incubators. After that they bottle the eggs and in te Social Predestination Room, the lower cast receive less oxigine than de higher ones. That's why Alphas and Betas are the developing ones because their brain receive huge amount of oxigine.

"Heal The World.."

I hear this song since I'm a child. It was written and sang by michael jackson, and it talks about the world we are living, and the way we live. War, corruption, death are everywere, and little by little, we are getting acustomed to them, and many other bad things that are not good for us at all. Many people have tried, as the song name says it, to heal the world: We know about Agnes Bojaxiu (Madre Teresa de Calcuta), Diana Frances Spencer or most known as Lady Di, and many other people all arawnd the world, that, the way they could, or they thought it would be the best way, and we can see that they choose the best way: Love.

This song was written in 1991. During this period of time, the URSS had recently dissapear. A big period of "endless" war had finlay stopped, And from then on, the world was in a way "hurt" by the cold war, and all kind of conflicts.

The song chorus sais:

Heal the world
make it a better place

for you and for me

and the entire human race

there are people dying

if you care enought

for the living

make a better place

for you and for me

As to make a connection with the books we've read, those "realities" in the books, the way people live and the world behaves, are all an horror. There is no love in people, no body wants to make anyone truly happy. Some controls others lifes, it's all a mess, and probably if we don't try at least to help others, to change our reality, we will finaly finish up controled by others, and will provably live a terrible life as the books represents. In a way, those books are trying to advertise us (people) not to let the world finish that way.

The Video clip has been seen all round the world and has called attention of every person.
