Smallest monkeys in the world

Level 3

I choose this news because I think that this is a very interesting information.

This news is about the smallest monkeys in the world. These animals weighs only 100 grams and when they born, they are smaller than a human thumb. 

The species is endangered because people are destroying the forests where this monkey lives and for illegal pet trade. A zoo in Sydney is trying to help the species to survive. 

In the world there are very species of animals that they are endangered and for this the people need to take care of the natura.

I tkink that we have to take care of our nature.

The Longest Ride

A few weeks ago I saw "The Longest Ride", an amercican romantic film.

Luke Collins is a professional bull rider who got injured and a year later after recovering, he started riding again and meets Sophia Danko in one of his shows. Sophia is an art lover. Sophie has plans of working in the art world in New York and Luke doesn't want to give up bull riding so they wonder if it their relation can work.

On the way home from their first date, they spot a car crash in the woods and help rescue an older man who is stuck inside. Sophia also pulls a wooden box from the vehicle. While in the hospital, Sophia continuously visits the man she and Luke rescued, Ira Levinson.

Ira tells them about his great romance which began in the 40's and how they overcame such great adversities. Which makes them wonder about their relationship.

I'm not gonna explain the end of this film so you should watch it!

Apple Cake

Yesterday, I was in  Facebook and  I saw a video about how to make an apple cake. Then I showed it to my mother and we decidet to do it.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 apples                                          
  
                           
• 125g butter
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 teaspoon of oil
• 4 teaspoon of sugar
•  1 cup of  flour
•  Yeast
•  3/4 cup of  milk

ELABORATION:

The process for making this cake is very simple.  First of all, preheat oven to 180°C. Then cut the  apples into thin slices. 

Put the baking paper on the mold. Grease the round pan with the butter and the brown sugar. Arrange the apples in two circles on the mold.

In a bowl put the eggs,3 teaspoon of oil, 4 teaspoon of sugar, 1 cup of  flour, 3/4 cups of milk, the yeast and mix it in an electric mixer to 5 to 6 minutes.

Put the whole mass to the mould and put this in the oven for 30 minutes.

Palau Robert picture

When we went in Barcelona apart from doing the interviews, we visited  an exhibition in Palau Robert about photos of the Syrian war. 

This exhibition was very emotional because it shows the situation that Syrian people are living.


Each photo was very striking, but I choose this one because it impact me so much.

In this picture we can see syrians kiss the ground on their arrival on the island after a dangerous journey. In 2015, more than 3000 people, 30% of them children, drowned during their attempt to cross the Mediterranean.
