5 Preguntas sobre las redes sociales y noticias falsas

Ngày xửa ngày xưa, có một người giặt đồ thuê nuôi một con lừa để giúp anh ta vận chuyển quần áo từ nhà ra bờ sông và ngược lại. Thế nhưng, con lừa này không thích những món ăn mà ông chủ cho nó. Vì vậy, nó quyết định đi đến cánh đồng gần đó để ăn món cỏ mà nó yêu thích.

Một ngày nọ, khi đang đi, chú lừa gặp một con cáo và kết bạn với nó . Chúng tìm thấy một cánh đồng trồng toàn dưa hấu và cùng nhau ăn. Dưa hấu quá ngon nên lừa ăn rất nhiều và cao hứng nói với con cáo rằng: “Tôi muốn hát”.

Con cáo đáp: “Nếu cậu hát, con người sẽ biết mình đang phá hoại mùa màng của họ và sẽ chạy đến đánh chúng ta chết mất”. Con lừa không nghe lời khuyên của cáo mà vẫn hát. Thấy vậy, con cáo đã nhanh chóng nhảy qua hàng rào và biến mất trước khi dân làng đến đánh lừa.

In these past months, it seems that a lot of political drama has been spinning around like a 24/7, in my world, in other people's world, everywhere. That has brought my memories to a bedtime story that I will never forget. I still can picture in mind how the book looked like, how I sat next to Mom as she read the book to me. The title was, "The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey". At that time I thought, "This boy and his father are foolish." That's why I couldn't forget the story. 

However, as I grew up, I realized that indeed, yeah, stupid things I do. Even worse, I do it because I have been told to.

Politics in Our Lives

When you think about rainforests, you might think of somewhere with a tropical climate — somewhere like the Amazon or the Congo.

But in fact, a very large rainforest can be found in a country famous for its dreary weather: the UK.

The Eden Project, an attraction in southwest England, calls itself the world's largest indoor rainforest.

Sometimes referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Eden Project was created in 2001 from an old clay pit. It's famous for its two enormous biomes, which are designed to look and feel like rainforests and tropical regions from all over the world.

The Rainforest Biome is about 16,000 square meters in size, and is full of plants found in tropical climates, like sugarcane, pineapples and bananas.

There are rare and unusual plants too, like the titan arum — a flower famous for its terrible smell that only blooms around once a year.

The Mediterranean Biome is a little smaller at 6,540 square meters, but has plants from the Mediterranean and regions with similar climates, such as California, South Africa and Australia.

The Eden Project is not just a place for people to look at plants, though — there is an environmental message behind the attraction, and it aims to teach visitors about the importance of looking after the environment.

As well as activities and workshops that teach visitors about the importance of living sustainably, the Eden Project even offers courses for a university degree!

And there's plenty of other things to see and do, too.

Throughout both biomes, visitors can find art and installations which focus on important topics like climate change.

And every year, the Eden Project hosts the Eden Sessions, a series of outdoor music concerts. Famous artists such as Amy Winehouse, Elton John and Oasis have performed at the Eden Sessions in the past.
