Baby boards a bus alone
03-02-2015
A one-year-old boy was playing outside his mother’s shop in China. The mother wasn’t with
the baby, so she didn’t see him when he
walked away.
Later, a security camera on a bus filmed
the baby boy-he boarded the bus alone.
The driver and the passengers saw that
no person was with the baby, so the
driver stopped the bus and people called
the police. Passengers took care of the
baby until the officers came.

They found the parents of the baby an hour later.

The Importance of Exercise
2015-03-13, Gothenburg
How much do we exercise or how active are we? When we should answer this question many
of us say I do not have time, I cannot and so on. But we have time for facebook and playing
computer games for many hours. Nowadays technology has evolved so much and fast. You
cannot move in work or in life as they did in the past.
Now there are machines that do everything for us. In today’s world there are many diseases
like diabetes, the lack of activity and obesity threaten our humanity.
But the question is how exercise affects them this problem in our lives. If we exercise, we are
healthier and do not get sick, just read that, otherwise one does not work out.
About exercise and its effect on people’s health, the researchers say training helps and a lot of
people will be less sick.
In otherworld’s, exercise can decrease the amount of fat on your body, increase blood
circulation and give good condition. The cause is when we exercise increases our energy and
heart palpitations that help a lot to burn fat in your body, lose weight, reduce blood pressure
and adjust insulin levels. Exercise makes people alert and rested.
Finally exercise is the best, miraculous and cheap medicine worldwide. Then I say if you want
to train you do not need to just go to the gym. Walk is exercise too. In addition the walk is one
of the best training that the researchers always recommend to us. We can train out in nature
too and it is really nice.

Ice hockey
2015 03 13 Gothenburg
Ice hockey is a western sport, and often players need to have a strong body because it is very
common to get hurt in this sport.
I personally like ice hockey very much but I need to say ice hockey is very difficult to
organize a game, because first you need to have equipment and then you need to have an ice
rink. This is different from football and basketball, because all you need to play football and
basketball is just a ball and two goals, you don’t need protective gear, you don’t need a club,
you don’t need ice skates and you don’t need to pay for renting a big ice rink. I think this is
why hockey is not popular in Asia, there are not many ice rinks in Asia.
The rules of the game are simple but very special, one hour for a match, twenty minutes for a
part, one match have three parts, they are called periods, you have fifteen minutes break
between each period. Replacement players do not need to consult the referee, this can happen
at any time. Ice hockey is a big test for players’ strength, in a professional ice hockey match
players often need to be replaced.
I really like hockey, especially the feeling. The feeling I get when I play it.

The World Cup
2015-03-13
Qatar World Cup 2022 will played
in November-December. FIFA's
Executive Board is expected to
approve a proposal for a working
group meeting from 19 to 20
March.
FIFA boss Sepp Blatter admits
that the adoption of the 2022
World Cup in Qatar was a
mistake. Choosing Qatar to host the World Cup was for financial reasons. Countries of this
region have a lot of oil resources.
During the summer in Qatar, the temperature in the shadow can be over 40 degrees Celsius,
but in November-December, the average daily temperature is 25 degrees.
The subsequent date will result in major changes in the national series.

The World Cup has received criticism of corruption and construction work. According to the
website "Smithsonian", more than 900 workers have already died building the Qatar's World
Cup infrastructure. The International Trade Union Confederation says that if conditions do not
improve, at least 4,000 migrants will die before kick-off, mainly originating from Nepal and
India.

The Colmans
Norwich is the most important city of
east England, and of course it has a
large shopping center. It also has two
museums and a castle.
Unlike many cities, where specialist
shops have gradually been replaced by
large department stores and
supermarkets, Norwich still has a wide
variety of shops.
One of the most unusual must be the
Mustard shop. It sells nothing but mustard, and there are many different kinds. It has a
mustard museum, which describes the history of Colman’s mustard. The Colman’s were a
famous Norwich family who started a mustard-making business over 150 years ago.

sometimes they go to school .On day they got a female teacher then she help them to become
a good group to get a better future. But her work is success and she became a good teacher
because she saved their lives. This is the best film I have seen, I think so.
I recommend this film to watch and experience the same feeling I got.

Frida is one of my favourite movies
This movie is about a biography of artist Frida Kahlo, She
was a Mexican painter who is best known for her selfportraits. This film is an excellent introduction to Frida
Kahlo and about her life and turbulent marriage to the
famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.
Until I seen this movie I had no idea who Frida Kahlo was
and I had never heard of her. After seeing this film I
immediately became a huge Frida Kahlo’s fan. After I had
seen this movie I fell in love with her and in her artistic life
and her personality.
The Frida movie is about her Life, Biography, Drama and
Romance. In this movie Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina is
the main characters. The director is Julie Taymor. This film
is made in USA, Canada and Mexico, The Frida move was released in 2002.
The movie was adapted by Clancy Sigal, Diane Lake, Gregory Nava and Anna Thomas from
the book Frida ((A Biography of Frida Kahlo)) by Hayden Herrera. This movie won Two
Academy Awards for Best Makeup and Best Original Score.
Artist Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in Coyocoán, Mexico City, Mexico. Considered
one of Mexico's greatest artists, after an accident, Frida Kahlo turned her attention away from
the study of medicine to begin a full-time painting career. The accident left her in a great deal
of pain while she recovered in a full body cast; she painted to occupy her time during her
temporary state of immobilization. Her self-portraits became a dominant part of her life when
she was immobile for three months after her accident. Frida Kahlo once said, "I paint myself
because I am often alone and I am the subject I know best". Her mother had a special easel
made for her so she could paint in bed, and her father lent her his box of oil paints and some
brushes.
Drawing on personal experiences, including her marriage, her miscarriages, and her numerous
operations, Kahlo's works often are characterized by their stark portrayals of pain. Of her 143
paintings, 55 are self-portraits which often incorporate symbolic portrayals of physical and
psychological wounds. She insisted, "I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality".
While she never considered herself a Surrealist, Kahlo befriended one of the primary figures
in that artistic and literary movement, Andre Breton, in 1938. That same year, she had a major
exhibition at a New York City gallery, selling half of the 25 paintings shown there. Kahlo also
received two commissions, including one from famed magazine editor Clare Boothe Luce, as
a result of the show. A few days before Frida Kahlo died on July 13, 1954, she wrote in her
diary: "I hope the exit is joyful - and I hope never to return - Frida"

It's Very Common
with Cyberbullying
Today it is very common
to be cyberbullied in the
internet world especially
in computer games. In
Sweden, one in three
young people between 10
- 16 years old has been
violated on the internet.
Girls can be cyberbullied
on many websites, for
example in Kik,
Facebook, Blogger and
Instagram. There may be comments such as: you are ugly, fat, stupid, disgusting, weird, etc.,
words which are usually related to criticism about the appearance.
For boys it is very common to be cyberbullied in the gaming world but not about their
appearance. It is more often violations of their lives. Here are some cases from anti-bullying
organization Friends: “My mother has passed away because of cancer and I got a message
that says ‘Serves you right’” and “When I was a new player and not so good at this game,
someone said I should commit suicide”.
Friends supports anti-bullying and they try to stop violations on the internet. And it is not to
easy to stop all the bullies. But if more people, including parents and specialists, try to work
together to stop this, it would create better results. We need to take bullying more seirously
and no one should be victimized.

Four questions
….to Resmi Beka nurse in elderly care in the City of Gothenburg.Trained in 2011
What made you study to become a nurse?
I have always had the desire to help people and particulary the elderly. A year after I started
studying the nurse program I got a summer job and then I worked as a nursing assistant.
Is it a stressful job as a nurse?
If you work with older people be ready to take big responsibility because it means you take
care of the lives of others and of course it gets stressful. Of course everyone wants to do a
good job but it is stressful because there is not enough time.
Do you enjoy training as a nurse?
I like my education as a nurse very much. To become a good nurse you must have a lot of
patience and interest to help your fellow human beings.
Working as a nurse may also be physically laborious with many heavy lifts and awkward
positions.
What do you recommend to those who want to work in elderly care?
Working in elderly care is a big responsibility. To begin with I would say that you have to like
your job and of course you should have skills to work in elderly care.

My Journey to New York!
14 September 2011. I took my first step outside Europe! I landed at Newark Airport, just
outside of New York City in state of New Jersey, the weather was awesome and about 20-25+
degrees. I took the airport bus from airport into Manhattan which is the heart of New York
City! I lived on a first class hotel on Avenue 42. Opposite one of the most famous
Skyscrapers in the world - Chrysler Building which is 319 meters tall and was the tallest
building in the world between May 1930 until April 1931. About 200 meters from the hotel,
on same avenue is the fabulous - Grand Central Terminal located which is one of the largest
train stations in the world.
Next day on a Thursday 15, after the breakfast, I went to the Grand Central and took the
subway down to the downtown of Manhattan. I did take a boat to the Staten Island and from
the boat I was seeing the Statue of Liberty, when I went back to the Manhattan I went to the
place where the twin towers of world trade center were located. After it, I went to the famous
outlet store 21st Century to lock at clothes, but I didn't buy anything. After I visited 21st
Century, I went to the little Italy and China-town, there I took a pizza for dinner that was
delicious! Later that evening when I came back to the hotel, went out again, but now to one of
the most famous things in American the Time Square which is located in the middle of
Manhattan. It was amazing to see Time Square and to watch all LED screens.
Next day, on Friday 16, who was my last day like 19 years old. I went out to the Grand
Central and took the Subway up to Central park in north of Manhattan. I did see the house
where John Lennon was murdered, in some parts of New York City live many of the most
famous people of the world, for example Madonna, one of the world most famous singers. I
went into the park, that was beautiful and lot of people were jogging and relaxed in the nice
weather. After I'd visited the park, I went down from the park and walked along the Central
park zoo. I walked down from the Central park on 5th Avenue and beside the largest Apple
store in the world, actually it's open 24/7 and off course I did visit it. At the evening after I
went back to the hotel, I went out again and now back to the Time Square and just walked
around in the city by night.

a kind of DimSum. But now it is a common house-hold dish.
You can eat Gyoza in restaurants and you can buy Gyoza in Supermarkets in Japan. But most

Shiitake mushroom, 4-5 pieces
Poteto starch , 3 tbsp
*grated ginger, 5g
vegetable oil to cook the dumplings
water, 1-1,5dl

and oil. Knead with your hands for a few minutes until the mixture comes together as a
dough.
2. Roll the dough into a ball, cover with cling plastic wrap and set aside to rest for one hour.

gyoza dough is thin. Make around 10-12cm round form until all of the dough has been used.
8. To assemble the dumplings, hold a gyoza wrapper in the palm of your hand and add one
teaspoon of the filling mixture. Wet the edges with a little water and seal the dumpling,
pinching along the edges to create a fan shape. Repeat the process until all of the filling
mixture has been used up
9. Heat the oil in a large, lidded frying pan and fry the dumplings for 1-2 minutes, or until

Advice Column
The Collection’s experts Elham, Ali and Kevin answer your questions about relationships,
health and well-being.
Dear Ali,
I am a married woman who has two quite fine children who are 4 and 8 years old. My
husband has a good job and earns good money. I was a housewife who could only cook food,
washing dishes, and clean up the house, I kept with the homework.
But now I have studied and I am finishing my education. I have got full time work and now I
earn good money. When I was a housewife I couldn´t decide over proceed or costs but
because I work and earn money, I want to decide over my money the family that I work for.
It becomes a conflict between me and my husband he doesn´t accept that I can decide. But if
we don`t find any solutions, we will go in different ways maybe. How can we do that?
Confused Sara
Dear Sara,
When I read your letter, I could understand you in many different ways, because you are like
a child that recently got a doll and you don`t want to share it with anybody.
You had the feelings that you wanted to have some power over the family, but your husband
had all time power in the family and it`s not easy for him either to leave the power and share
it with somebody, even not his wife. I want to say, don`t try to decide everything the family,
like your husband from the beginning. You can decide over small things until your husband
learns that to share something with someone is not to lose power, contra wise, you will have a
better relationship with more trust.
You must have more patience sorry. Good luck!

Dear Elham,
Dear Bride-to-be,
I am a young girl. I am 25 years old. My
weight is 85 kg. I am very lazy so, most of
the time I sit or sleep. I sleep late in the
morning. I never go on a diet, because I
think it is a waste of time. I cannot keep to
the diet’s food. I can't avoid eating
chocolate and ice-cream. I eat fattening
food. I drink fizzy drinks. Now my
problem is my wedding party and I must
lose weight during a short time. I need to
lose 30 kg.
First you should not eat a lot. You should
avoid snacks between meals because most
of them are fattening you have cut down
on the amount of food you eat in the
evening. You drink plenty of water
because it is better for you than fizz drinks.
And you should get plenty of exercise.
You eat your meal on time. Try not to eat
after 8 pm just drink water or juice. Try to
eat your dinner before 8 pm. Eat fruit
during the day. Don’t eat much cream and
chocolate. Don't sleep after eating food.
What shall I do?
Bride- to- be
Sincerely
Elham

Dear Kevin,
I’m a married woman and mother of three wonderful children aged between three and seven. I
have a loving husband with a good job, so I don’t have to go out to work. I can stay at home
and take care of my children. We live in a small but beautiful house in a nice neighbourhood,
and we have many friends living nearby.
Now my problem is that I have fallen in love with the man who’s helped us rebuild our house
and he wants me to run off with him. He says he can’t live without me and I don’t know if I
can live without him either.
What shall I do?
Confused Alice
Dear Alice,
What I hope now for you is that you have your own investments in secure savings. I hope that
you have control over everything like that. It is difficult for a home-wife to divorce their men
when you have no work experience.
When a woman goes to the bank 80% of the women will ask - Can I afford to get divorced?
20% of them can afford to divorce. So it should not be, I think! Do this, that I advise all
women who are in your position!
1. Take control of your finances 2. Take a pause from the other man (if he loves you as he
says he is there when you are mature) 3. Start Networking so you are not dependent on others,
where you work eight hours for five days a week where you are at the bottom and make
someone else rich. You should not have to work for money. Money should work for you
Alice!
I hope you follow your heart and your heart will take you to the serving right for you! We all
make choices in life, and all make different choices. If you choose to leave your husband, it's
your choice. Stops you'll have to do it for your own sake. He seems like a nice man and
deserves honesty on your part! Never be in something that will not last long. Take care of
yourself Alice!

The history of the Teddy Bear
A toy was invented well over hundred years ago. It was the teddy bear.
It was the American president, Theodore Roosevelt, who came up with the name Teddy bear.
Theodore Roosevelt was out hunting when a little bear came in his way, but the president
didn’t want to kill the little cub.
It was written a lot about it in the newspapers. A newspaper agent made two bears of velvet,
wood wool and two buttons as eyes.
He put it in his shop window and the president started to call them teddy bears.
When the president began to use a teddy bear as his mascot he was called Teddy.
There are many collectors of teddy bears, and fine items cost a lot of money.
In Germany the first teddy bears were made in 1903.
In 1912 the first teddy bears were produced in England.

A Bedtime Story
DO NOT RUN AWAY
I have a cat, its name is Phoenix. It´s a three-color-cat, but
it´s like a rat. Pheonix isn´t so beautiful, but I like my cat.
My Phoenix has a very soft fur. She is most active in the
nights. She doesn´t eat everything, she always chooses the
food. She likes meat and fish, but she doesn´t like milk,
yoghurt and cheese. She even doesn´t like to sit on my lap.
Phoenix is a little wild. She loves to hunt, most of the nights.
She loves to sleep all day. Now my cat is ten months old and
she hears very well and she is normally fast.
My spoiled cat learns something new every day. For
example, 2 weeks ago, she found out the neighbour’s
balcony. There was another cat, which is called Marc. They
Picture: Ada (7), visiting mini-student agree to take a long trip to the park into the forest. Until now
they were only indoor cats.
My Phoenix and Marc went together in the afternoon on an
adventure. They went to the park and played with each other. After that they went further and
further into the forest. 2 hours later, they understood that they were lost. But they were lucky
to meet other cats and asked them, how can we get out of this forest? They didn´t know. But
there was an older cat, which was called Tim, he knew the way out. Phoenix and Marc were
very happy, when they heard from Tim. Then they went all together to Tim.
When it got late, I became worried about Phoenix. I thought, what has happened? It was the
first time, she disappeared. When the darkness came, Tim showed them, how they can get out
of the forest. Everybody was so happy.
Phoenix and Marc have learnt their lesson, not to run away again. It´s dangerous! From now
on they only see each other on the balcony and will never run away again. It´s nice to sit on
the balcony now, when it’s hot and sunny.
