The second earthquake in haiti.
A second strong earthquake hit Haiti today, waking people from their beds and sending others running into the streets in panic.
The quake measured 6.1, and hit a country already ravaged by an earthquake eight days ago.
It came amid rising frustration from one aid agency about the delay in getting lifesaving supplies into Haiti, with doctors saying they are having to buy their own saws to carry out amputations.
The quake was centred 26 miles north-west of Jacmel, and the US Geological Survey said it struck at a depth of 13.7 miles.
The tremor caused panic. It was not immediately possible to assess what additional damage the new quake may have caused.
Last week's huge quake killed an estimated 200,000 people in Haiti, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million people homeless. A big international aid effort has been launched, but is struggling with overwhelming logistical problems.
That everything is solved and that very soon they are better. Mood ...

DOCTOR DOLITTLE 3
Maya was an antisocial individual in the first film, but Maya has become a typical teenager.
Inherited from his father John of the ability to communicate with the animals and their
lives are upside down on all fronts. She routinely lands in trouble with her mother Lisa, while her friends think it has gone mad.
With his father on expeditions of animals, Lisa Maya's mother sends her to a ranch called "Durango", so you can find herself. The ranch is owned by Jude, and his son Bo.
While there, Maya, who tried desperately to keep it secret to avoid arousing suspicion, he uses his talent to "talk to the animals" to save Durango from being taken over by a neighboring ranch.
Maya is at first reluctant to reveal their capabilities, for fear of rejection by friends, but eventually does. With your help, the Durango ranch enters a rodeo competition, with a prize of $ 50,000, and wins. She also shares her first kiss with Bo and eventually wins his heart.

EXERCISE OF THE CLASS
I quite like photo B, it is better than ugly photo A
PHOTO B
In photo B, I can see there are three people, their style is normal. Their clothes are casual and comfortable.
They're comying a skateboard, they dress informal and dark clothes to their age. Two boys are wearing a hat to be protected of the cold. They are in a city, the sky is very clear and blue.
PHOTO A
I don't like the second photo. There is a model that is on the catwalk. She's wearing a bad dress and of many colors.
She's wearing a pink hat in the shape of horns. Behind there, are two models, they dress equal of badly. The clothes that they're wearing don't seem comfortable neither natural but if they think they look fashonable...
For my the fashion model:

NEWS
End of El Bulli: closes forever
Top of the world restaurant El Bulli to close for good despite having a waiting list of 3,000 people.
The best chef Ferran Adrià last month announced plans to close the restaurant in the Costa Brava in Spain for two years, saying he needed a rest.
But now he has decided to close, will not have the famous dishes such as Parmesan cheese and marshmallows trout egg tempura, permanently.
Instead of reopening the restaurant business, is to become a nonprofit foundation, Adria said.
Ferran Adrià is the world's best restaurant closed, El Bulli,
The measure was prompted after protests over its decision last month to close El Bulli for two years, with many arguing that it was part of Spanish culture and could not go.
The shock news of some food lovers are sure to tip for bookings before El Bulli, located in northeastern coastal Catalan town of Roses, closes in 2012.
Bookings have already closed for the year 2010, with 3,000 people willing to wait for the fork in € 200 per head for Adria's creations.
El Bulli was named best restaurant in the world for the fourth consecutive year last April at the World's Top 50 S. Pellegrino Restaurant 2009 compiled by Restaurant Magazine.
For me it's a shame, since he had a reservation and to cancel.

HAITÍ
PORT-AU-PRINCE
Haiti-dazed survivors wandering past corpses in streets littered with debris Wednesday, mourning their loved ones and rescuers desperately searched collapsed buildings as the fear that increased the death toll from the devastating earthquake in Haiti could reach the tens of thousands.
The first cargo planes carrying food, water, medical supplies, shelter and dogs went to the poorest nation, a day after the magnitude-7 earthquake.
The quake toppled buildings, large and small.
Hospitals, schools and the main prison collapsed.
Police officers turned their trucks in ambulances to carry the wounded.
Other survivors carried the injured to hospitals in wheelbarrows and on stretchers door fashion.
Crep that this only be solved by giving everything it takes and without look for what is lost economically.

Castelló d'Empúries
Head Mistress,
I'm writing this letter to you to explain some problems that I have in this academic course.
My name is Guillem Cordon, I am a student of first year scientific batxillerat in your school and I live in Sant Miquel de Fluvià.
This year is the first one that the students of secundary and the students of batxillerat have the same time to get into school, this thing benefits me because I can take the bus in the mornings, but I cannot take it on having finished the classes because we do not have the same schedule.
Another thing that worries me is related to the week of vacations programmed for February.
The majority of students would like this week to be at the end of June.
Finally I would like to propose that the students of batxillerat that do not live in Castelló can be the first to use the dining room, since we have little time to eat.
I'm grateful to you in advance for your interest and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely
Guillem Cordon.
