SAID REGIS CNN News 30min It was shown in the news how interested American are in this election 2008, Instead of carving other faces for Halloween as usual, people prefer to show the candidate of their choice such as Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. On the other hand, B. Obama had to make an important decision between his grandmother and his political career. He said that does not want to do the same mistake by because he was not at his mother's bedside when she died. Then he decided to spend time with his grandmother. Halloween is an American traditional holiday and this year, it coincide with the election. People are just changing the face of Halloween, but normally, a tradition is a tradition and nothing should change it. About Obama's choice, i'll say that he is right. Both his career and his Grandmother's life are important, but there is nothing more important than human life. --pundit: someone admitted to membership. --twist: nonanticipated development.

The Fugitive

Listening 1, Length  1:30 Title: The Fugitive

Today, I watched a movie called the fugitive by Harrison Ford. One day, he come back home and saw that his wife killed by a one-armed man who did not left the house after he committed the crime. He fought with the man and took off his arm. Falsely accused to have killed his wife, Ford, (Dr. Richard Kimble) was determined to prove his innocence by leading the investigations. He escaped from the prison during a transfer of prisoners and started his researches. The police after him, he succeeded to prove his innocence by using the information of the broken arm.

This movie was really interesting, the suspense was on top  and I learnt from it that there is always a way to solve a problem. Even if people are against you, keep on doing what you do because it is the only way by which you can affirm your personality or prove the opposite of what people think of you.
