Boxing in a hijab

A 16-year-old Muslim girl has become the first person in America ever to wear a hijab during a competitive boxing match. She ended up losing the match but later said that it was about much more.
She felt that she had a purpose in fighting for what she believes – that all girls should have a chance. She now has her sights on changing the international rules as well, so that she can compete at the Olympics in 2020 in her chosen attire.
The teenager hopes that others will be inspired by her story and keep fighting for what they believe in.

I think that this girl has been very brave because she hasn't been afraid of what people could think or say about her.
Words learned: attire.

Bomb in Baghdad

A car bomb exploded outside a popular ice cream shop in Baghdad. The place was full of people at the time of the explosion. Thirteen people died and 30 more were injured.
The attack took place at midnight when some Muslims break fasting during Ramadan. The Islamic State Group, which sees Iraq’s Shia Muslims as heretics, claimed responsibility for the attack.

The islamic state group kills a lot of people every week in Baghdad, but the think I don't like is that the tv news in Europe don't show this, they only inform about white people things and that's bad because Baghdad people are humans as european people.

Words learned: Fasting, heretic and claim responsability.

Tiger kills zookeeper

A tiger patrolling a perimeter in a zoo in England killed a zookeeper when it entered an enclosure with her. The zoo described it as a ‘freak incident’ and offered its sympathy to family and friends.
People evacuated visitors to the zoo and called an air ambulance to the emergency. Police assured the public that they are safe and that no animals escaped, and an investigation has begun to establish more detail about the tragic incident.
I feel sorry for the zookeeper but tigers are wild animals and I think that zookeepers never have to get into their zone because it's very dangerous.
Words learned: enclosure and freak.

Fight on a plane

At Burbank, California, passengers were leaving from a plane when a fight broke out between two men. Someone recorded it with a mobile phone as other passengers and crew members tried to stop the brawl. Afterwards, police arrested one of the men.
Southwest Airlines reported that its flight crews have training on how to de-escalate conflicts. The airline did not say what started the fight.
I think that it's a good idea that the flight crews learn how to stop a fight because a fight on a plane can be very dangerous.
Words learned: Brawl and de-escalate.

Mesut Özil

Mesut Özil is a German footballer who plays for the english club Arsenal and the German national team. He was born on the 15th October of 1988 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. He gained international attention during the FIFA World Cup in 2010 and was nominated for the Golden Ball Award. He signed for Real Madrid in 2010 and there he showed to the world that he was one of the best attacking midfielders. He is acclaimed for finesse and improvisation as an attacking midfielder. His style and ability for providing assists to his teammates makes him one of the best football players. Several Real Madrid players were dissatisfied when he left the club, including Cristiano Ronaldo because he said that Özil was the player who best knew his moves in front of goal, that's why he got angry when Özil left the club and joined Arsenal. I like his style of playing football because he is very clever and he has got a lot of agility with his legs and he has got a lot of skills.

Future

Future is an american rapper, songwriter, singer and record producer. His real name is Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn and he was born on the 20th of november of 1983 in Atlanta Georgia. I like his songs because of his voice. He uses Auto-Tune in his songs, boyh rapping and singing and he says that it makes his songs more interesting and I agree with him because he is the only rapper with that kind of voice. There are some famous rappers who use the same audio processor that criticize him and in my opinión they do it because they envy him. Future has four children with four different women. He has 5 mixtapes: "Monster", "Beast Mode", "56 Nights", "What a time to be alive" featuring Drake and "Purple Reign". In my opinion he actually is one of the best rappers. My favourite Future song is "Mask off".

Lil Yachty

Lil Yachty is a famous rapper and singer. He was born on the 23rd of August of 1997. His real name is Miles Parks McCollum and he wasn't famous a few years ago, but he gained recognation when he dropped two nice singles called "Minnesota" and "One night". I really like his songs because his music is different because the other rappers usually use the same type of beats but Yachty's songs are different and that's why I like him. He calls his music style "bubblegum trap" because his songs has sampled sounds from Mario Bross, Charlie Brown, Clouds, the Super Nintendo and more sounds that make his music very nice and different. He has just dropped a new album called "Teenage emotions" and it looks very good. He isn't my favourite singer but I listen to his songs everyday. I started to listen to his music last year because a friend told me that he wasa good rapper and I didn't know who was him so when I arrived at home I listened his songs on YouTube and I liked them. I think that in a few years he will be one of the bests rappers and that we will win a lot of awards.
