"What are some advantages and disadvantages about wearing uniforms at school"
Until about 10 years ago all the schools had the same uniform the students wore the same gray uniform but now every school has its own style, color , and design of uniform. So what is the matter? Some students think that wearing uniform is unnecessary but their parents and other student think that it's necessary, so let's see some advantages and disadvantages about it.
For many parents wearing uniforms at school is necessary since it teaches to their kids to keep the order and organization, it teaches them to be a neat and presentable person, since when they finish the school they will work in different jobs and of course they will wear suits and they need to be prepared for that since they are studying at schools. Some parents think that even though the students wear uniform some of them remain dirty, some of them use odd hair styles, wear piercings, some female students use to enough make up and they look like clowns and I've heard that some female students even look like street walkers and all these things happen even so they wear uniform, can you imagine what would happen if wearing uniform weren't compulsory? I'm sure they will seem like punkies or even gangsters from slums very soon.
On the other hand several students are uncomfortable wearing uniforms, of course they would like to go to their school wearing casual clothes or sweat suits, some of them say they would be happier not wearing uniforms and they also say they could improve their scores at schools.
In my opinion the students are not awareness that wearing uniform teaches them how to be more neat and organized person, furthermore they only need to wear uniform by some years after that they could wear as they like the most.

TITLE: Radioactive Hot Spots in Tokyo Point to Wider Problems.
SUMMARY:
The article show us that until the disaster produced at the Fushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant still no one can´t control the radiation, because wind and wáter are expanding the radiotion for all Japan. Takeo Hayashida signed on with a citizens' group to test for radiation near his son's baseball field in Tokyo after government officials told him they had no plans to check for fallout from the devastated Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Many zones have already been affected but the goverment don´t want to accept, for that problem each person tries to give any solution survive and not leave affected for this radiation.
The government has not ignored citizens' pleas entirely; it recently completed aerial testing in eastern Japan, including Tokyo. But several experts and activists say the tests are unlikely to be sensitive enough to be useful in finding micro hot spots such as those found by the citizens' group.
Mr. Hayashida, who discovered the high level at the baseball field, said that he was not waiting any longer for government assurances. He moved his family to Okayama, about 370 miles to the southwest.
This is a big problem in Tokyo and all Japan. I think that all the people look for a future with no radiation fears.
But finally, until now, anyone find way out and that disaster can continue until next year because it continues to expand.

The article is about a man who was considered the best neighbor in his town, Oregon. For five decades he had helped to everybody in his town in many ways. For example, plowing cars out of snow, chopped wood, repaired farm equipment, and many more.
The journalist said the he was interesting to know more about Woody Davis, the best neighbor, so the journalist traveled to Oregon, and he began to knock the door of all the people in Oregon's town, everybody he interviewed had many stories about Woody about his selflessness and generosity.
What is interesting an important about this kind of story is that he lived always to help the others and when he got sick, everybody were rallying around him.
Some of the people of Oregon's town said things like: "He´s epitome of something dear". And the majority of them agree that he´s special, uncommon, that he´s a gift that that community has had all those years.
The journalist said, that some months ago, Woody was diagnosed with ALS, it's called Lou Gehrig's disease. And the doctors told him he has about six months. This kind of disease attacks the nervous system, and it´s already making it hard for him to lift much of anything or even talk. But besides it, Woody's attitude remains unaffected. He said he has the best medicine: the love of the people of Oregon's town.
