Advantages of disadvantages of living in a city / country

I'm going to begin with the adventages of living in the city.You can spend a lot of free time, you can go to the cinema, park, theaters, etc... There are a lot of working places. The public transport is so good in the city, then you haven't got any problem with displacament.The disadvantages of living in the city are that there are a lot of contamination bouth acustic and materialist.The other disadvantage is the poor safety in a city.
Then I tell you the adventages of living in the country you can find more peace and meet more of the people that you live, the people of the country, your neigthbours. In the countryside there are a lot of breathtaking sceneries, space and other amazing places such as forests, lakes or mountains. It haven't got many shopping centers and many areas for fun.

Click on this link to get the complete pice of the news.
I took this picture of the bbc.co.uk webside on October 18th, 2011.
In this photo we can see a class of South Corea, the students are doing the class without normal textbooks, the have digitalbooks. They use headphones and microphones to do the class too. I think the class can not be controlled in the same way, but it depends of the teacher.


PICE OF NEWS SUMMARY:

South Korea, one of the world's highest-rated education systems, aims to consolidate its position by digitising its entire curriculum.
By 2015, it wants to be able to deliver all its curriculum materials in a digital form through computers. The information that would once have been in paper textbooks will be delivered on screen.
"Smart Education will change how we perceive textbooks," said Mr Lee (South Korea's Minister of Education)
South Korea's teenagers should be particularly receptive to such educational technology.
They were best at evaluating information on the internet, assessing its credibility and navigating web pages.
President Barack Obama's "Digital Promise", announced last month, involves a new national centre to advance technologies that can supposedly transform teaching and learning.

How do I say the numbers in English


There are diferent tipes of numbers:

CARDINALS; that numbers refer to the size of a group. 
          
1.-Since 0 to 12 they have her own name.

 
2.-Since 13 to 19 you put the name of the last number with a little alteration an then the suffix -teen.

3.-Since 20 to 90 all the numbers that they finally in 0 you put the name of the first number with alterations and the suffix -ty.



4.-If a number is in the range 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, you put first the third cas and then the number of the first cas.And then you separate then with a haphen.

5.- So too are the hundred, with the number of the hundred followed by the word "hundred".



6.- So too are the thousands, with the number of thousands followed by the word "thousand".

                                             










7.- For numbers above a million, with the number of milions followed by the word "milion"

Food for thought

We have diferent rules in diferents countries of the world. For example in my country we ride or drive our cars and bicycles on the right. But in Britain ride or drive our cars and bicycles on the left.In my country when a boy meet a boy they shake his hands, and in the others times they kiss her cheecks.
And sometimes there are the same rules like don't ask a woman for her age and cover our mouth with our hand.
Normally there are the same rules for eat in all the world. For example we can't talk with the mouth full of food too, we don’t use our fingers to push food onto your fork or spoon, we don't start eating before everyone else at the table has been served, we don’t lick or put your knife in your mouth, we don’t blow your nose on your napkin, etc...
