The headline of the article is «Holiday guide to Costa Rica: beaches and adventures, plus hotels and restaurants». The author of the article is Sorrel Downer. It was published in The Guardian on the 28th of November 2015.The author gives the reader some information about the features of tours to Costa Rica, what is its true beauty, beaches, as well as giving advices where to stay and describes many other interesting beautiful places in Costa Rica.

The author starts by telling about the essential itinerary for Costa Rica because every itinerary leads to its "treasure". In addition, the author describes the terrain and gives the characteristics of the country's area. Continued the author describes in more detail the most popular tourist cities and natural attractions citing as an example the most interesting restaurants, theaters, shops, hotels, etc..  According to the text, the first place is worth visiting in Costa Rica is old San José, because It has its sights, from Museo de Jade (Plaza de la Democracía) and Museo del Oro (beneath Plaza de la Cultura), both with unrivalled but unsung pre-Colombian treasures, to the warren of the Mercado Central, and the pay-to-view grandeur of the Teatro Nacional. Further on a quarter of Costa Rica is protected parks and reserve, the crown jewel is Corcovado national park, 164 square miles of rainforest in the Osa peninsula, fringed by empty Pacific beach, but the most interesting for everyone can be Cloud forests which is the classic cloud forest choice, and the most child-friendly, with sky tram, sky walk and, for over-eights, canopy zip lines.  The article goes on to say that Costa Rica has two coasts and more than 300 beaches, some the domain of turtles. The most popular are the jungly Costa Ballena on the Central Pacific (an open-plan beachfront space with bunks and hammocks, wooden floors, ocean view) and the more laid-back eight-mile stretch of Caribbean coast between lively Puerto Viejo and sleepy Manzanillo (turquoise sea, parrots, jungle cabins, nightlife, surf camps, gingerbread beach cottages). The author outlines other two visiting places for taking great impressions. Only one thing beats the thrill of seeing Volcán Arenal erupt, and that’s while you’re sitting in a hot spring. “The hot spring industry sprang up as a way of entertaining frustrated visitors who arrived to find the perfect cone shrouded in cloud.”- The author wrote.

I found this article very interesting, inspiring and dream about a rest on a sunny beaches of Costa Rica.

Please, answer the questions; What would you first visited in your holidays, if it were possible to visit Costa Rica?Why?

The headline of the article I have read is « Thousands of cancer patients 'too poor to celebrate Christmas'».

It was published in Press Association on the 30th of November.

The purpose of the article is to give the reader some information about a heavy financial position of people with cancer.

At the beginning of the story the author touches a subject of a bad financial and social status of people of cancer patients. He says that people with cancer will feel “cold and lonely” this Christmas .

Then the author gives some statistics:

Almost 170,000 people in the UK with cancer are unable to join in special family events such as Christmas due to a lack of cash, according to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Its survey of almost 1,000 people living with cancer found 9% had to miss out on visiting family and friends because they could not afford it.

Other research of more than 1,600 people who have been in touch with Macmillan found 28% were unable to adequately heat their home in winter due to money worries.

The charity has previously found 83% people with cancer are on average £570 a month worse off as a result of their diagnosis.

The article goes on to say that Macmillan said the government must rethink its plan on welfare, which it said would take £30 a week away from people with cancer who are too ill to work. People with cancer can lose hundreds of pounds each month because of their diagnosis.

In conclusion the author writes about Department for Work and Pensions’ solution that the vast majority of those with cancer will not be affected by the changes and won’t be expected to look for work, and no one already claiming employment and support allowance will be worse off under these reforms.

I found the article useful because this topic is very relevant. Currently there are a lot of people with cancer who do not receive support neither from the state nor from their relatives. I feel sorry for them because they feel lonely and really need better conditions. The government should take all measures in other to improve their position. If the government ignores it, there should be some charity organizations which will gather some donations. This idea is put into practice in many cities, and our town is not an exception. Every New Year holidays people collect some presents for those who can't afford them and send it to the hospitals and other insitutions for people in need. It is a very good tradition. I hope that people with cancer will also be able to find support.

Please, answer the question : why do you think the government does't want to provide support for people with cancer?

The headline of the article I've given a review of is 'Denver shooting: Aparahoe High School gunman intended to harm many people'. Its author is Nikhil Kumar. It was published in 'Independent' 15 December 2013. 
The article under discussion is devoted to the problem of teenagers' dangerous antisocial behavior. At the beginning of the article the author describes the accident which took place at a Denver area high school. 18-year-old Karl Pierson arrived at Arapahoe High School in the Denver suburb of Centennial around midday on Friday, armed with a pump-action shotgun, a machete and three Molotov cocktails, and critically injured a 17-year old student Claire Davis before turning his gun on himself. The author asserts that the gunman's intention was more devastating as he was going to harm multiple individuals. 
Furthermore, the author points out that the gun used in this attack also took part in several more frightening accidents such as a bloody 1999 high school shooting. Moreover, the author dwells on fact that the gun had been bought legally at a local store. To stress the situation in conclusion the author makes it clear that under Colorado law, shotguns can be sold to 18 year olds, while the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21.
I found the article of a great value as, unfortunately, there are lots of examples of such horrible actions mainly made  by young people. The main justification that such gunmen mention is their psychological trauma which they have got in the childhood. However, I consider these people don't have any excuses to behave this way and none of us has a right to kill or injure each other. 
Dear friends, I'm rather concerned that such people are around us and our world still continues their upbringing and let them behave the way they want. What do you think pushes people for a crime? How can we cope with this problem and remain in safety?

The headline of the article is «London gallery to show recreation of Joan Miró's Mallorcan studio».
The author of the article is Maev Kennedy. It was published in The Guardian on the 30th of November.
The main idea of this article is the value of recreation of the studio of the great Spanish artist Joan Miró in London. The author gives a reader some information about Miro’s life, works, masterpieces and Miro’s grandson’s memories.
 The author starts by telling some important elements that are recreated in the London’s studio. The author points out the dazzling Mallorcan light, streaming in through huge windows, bouncing off the steep slope above and the sea far below and the mummified cat hanging on a wall. The article describes the studio’s interior, that had been reproduces by the photographs taken in 1970s by Jean-Marie del Moral. The author states that two brothers decided to reproduce this studio. Their names are: Eduard and Jordi Mayoral. As Jordi said, they wanted to find a way to make people feel the space, but brothers hope they will then go to experience the real place in Mallorca. According to the text there are not so much original things in the interior, the majority are the replicas. Nevertheless they hope they will find someone who will be able to to weave a copy of the sinister palm leaf sun-face that hangs from the ceiling, identical to one owned by Picasso. The article goes on to say that Miro hadn’t always had a big personal studio. He used to rent some flats with broken windows only to have a possibility of drawing anytime he wanted it. He was poor and couldn’t have a family because he understood that they won’t be able to do what usual Spanish did. But some time later he became a famous artist and was familiar with Picasso.
 I found this article very informative and life-affirming. You never know what can happens to you but the main thing in the life it’s a hope. I admire Eduard and Jordi Mayoral. They are real heroes of our time. It’s such a worthy action and they make a great contribution to the arts.
 Please, answer the questions: Is it actual to reproduce studios of great artists in other countries? How do you treat replicas in the museums? Don’t you find it unworthy? Why?

The headline of the article I've picked up is "School's walking rule inappropriate in 2015". The authors are Sally Weale and Mark Tran. It was published in "The gurdian" on 5th November 2015.
The main idea of the article is teachers' concernment in pupils' behaviour and the way of improving it.
The authors start by explaining the plot of the idea speaking about the decision to make pupils walk around the primary school with their hands clasped behind their backs. According to the article the headteacher wants the children to be safe by this way. To his mind it “inspires children to be the best they can be”.
At the same time we find out what the people's reaction is. Michael Reiss, professor at the Institute of Education, consideres this method to be unsuitable for our time. He supports any desire of improving pupils but not in this case. Moreover  the article goes on to say the parents are completely against such a policy. According to the text almost every adult consideres this idea to be too dictatorial. They are sure it's not the way of making their children better but vice versa. It is a loss of liberty and trust.
In conclusion the authors let us know despite the parents disagreements the school is going to stick it in order to maximise learning time. The headteacher promises  pupils to be happy and excited about learning. 

I found this article rather unusial and first of all I'd like to thank the authors for such an information. Actually I must say I'm shocked of people having such ideas. As for me such a policy can do nothing but ruin a child's psyche. Children are children and we mustn't make them be completely framed, it's too much. Of course we should support and guide them but not  make them blindly obey us. This way is terrible and I'm really afraid this headteacher needs some medical help.

Dear friends, what do you think about this situation? Do you agree children are too free and it's necessary to decrease this freedom by such a tyrannical way?

   The headline of the article Russia and Britain should beat Isil as we did the Nazis: together”. The author of the article is Alexander Yakovenko.  It was published in The Telegraph on the 27th of November.  The main idea of this article is the unification of the forces of Russia and UK. He gives the reader some information on as Britain debates its role in fighting Islamic, Russia and others, including France, would welcome our British partners doing their bit to defeat this evil.
   The author starts by telling historic event when Sir Churchill said that Soviet Ambassador Ivan Maisky that he would save a bottle of vodka so they could drink it together when Great Britain and Russia beat Hitler’s Germany. The article describes the present situation about Isil and other terrorists. They are a horrible and opportunistic marriage of religious fanatics with the rump of the Iraqi Baathist regime and Saddam Hussein’s officer corps. They took advantage of the civil war in Syria to try to make a Sunni-Shia schism the pivot-point of politics in a region left suddenly to its own devices. According to the text the outrageous downing of a Russian plane over Syria exposes the inherent dangers of Western alliances in the region. The Turks delivered one of Russian’s pilots into the hands of terrorists. It is high time that some regional players stopped solving problems of their own at somebody else’s expense, even by sponsoring terrorists. They must stop exporting poisonous ideology and pursuing agendas that threaten regional security. The article goes on to say that Russia makes no linkages between the Syrian situation and those elsewhere, including the Ukrainian crisis.  In conclusion the author said that Britain modified its narrative in Northern Ireland to work with all sides there. Also if Russia and the UK will fight together the terrorism would be defeated.

   I found the article interesting, especially if you follow the news. There are a lot of strange situation has happened this month. I consider if we want a world piece must seek it and found new confederates.

   What do you think: it would be better if Russia and the UK would cooperate against the terrorism or Russia should find other partner? Why?
