Subway Hero.

Summary:

On Tuesday afternoon Autrey leaped down from a subway station platform after Cameron Hollopeter, 20, apparently suffered a seizure and fell between the tracks.

Autrey had to leave his two daughters, ages 4 and 6, on the platform. It was that, he said, or have the girls see a man run over by a subway train.

Down on the tracks, Autrey saw a train's headlights in the tunnel. He shoved the disoriented student into the only space where they had a chance to survive — the shallow, grimy drainage trough between the tracks.

The train passed over them, with about 2 inches' clearance. Autrey later showed reporters grease stains on his wool hat that he said came from the train's undercarriage.

My opinion:

In my opinion any person who loved sufficiently the life as this man would have done it. I know that not everybody would do it, but we can't be sure about it. We have never been in a similar situation. You can imaginate it, but it isn't the same thing that feel the fear when it's happening in front you.

Questions:

-How should the hero be rewarded?: I think that he shouldn't be rewarded because he makes it to save the life of a one people, not to be rewarded.

-Would you have acted in a similar way? Why?: Yes, because I can't be in a place while somebody is dieing and I'm seeing it. I think I could try to rescue him/her though I could die...

-Act of heroism: Liviu Librescu was 76 years old and had overcome a lot of time ago the age to retire, still he was giving lessons in the Technological University when on Monday the chaos arose in Norris Hall, the building of the campus where an armed man identified as 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui, opened fire and killed 32 persons before committing suicide. The students described how Librescu used his body to block a door opposite to Cho in order that they could escape jumping over the window of the class, which one was finding in the second floor. Some of them broke the leg on having fallen down, but they survived. Librescu died shot during the assault.

Task 4.

I don't know how I can upload it to my blog, however I upload it to Youtube like a video. I hope you don't mind...

We did two records, one of them I speak more and in the other Emma speak more than me. We chose a interview with System Of A Down, one of my favourite musical bands.

BBC News: Warnings over body piercing boom.

I've chosen a topic about piercings over the body.

My little summary: "Problems over botched body piercings could be a "substantial burden" on the NHS in the near future, a study says."

I chose this topic because I love it! And I want to know the warnings about it.
