Greece: Bomb Destroys Athens Bank

ingrid97 — Mon, 18 May 2009 20:58:16 +0000

The article i read was about a bomb that hit southern Athens.The bomb hit a bank and destroyed windows and damaged other buildings but there were no injuries. It exploded 44 pounds but no one claimed responsibility.This affects my life because if i would have lived in one of those buildings that exploded i would have died inside the building.

The cellphones in India are not very popular.India had 400 million cellphone users but now its only one third of the population.The cellphone companies have lowered the cellphone bills to $5 per month.They say the cellphone is very well done because it has a personal computer a flashlight ,camera,stereo,video game and a organizer.And it also depends on the size of the person if the person is small they get a small cellphone if the person is big they get a big cellphone.This affects my life because what if one day i want a phone but they take them away because many people dont get phones.

With the dew rising from the feilds dozens of children streamed into the two room school in that little small and poor village tucking used rice sack under their arms to use makeshift chairs.Their teacher from india complained bitterly because he is pored through attandane books for the first two hours of class.The teacher doesn’t know who goes in what grade so that way he can not teach.then the say that 90 minutes later another teacher arrived.The most senior teacher and he was the only one with a theachin degree.The reason this affects my life is because if I ever go to india and have children i want my children to have a good education.
