Hello and welcome to Teens, Senior 3 edition, for the week of May 5. We are glad you are spending your week with us.
He is tall, strong and ferocious. He plays the game of tennis with a raw emotion and power that has never quite been seen before. When hits the ball he grunts and his sleeveless arms ripple with muscles. He is only 21 years old. Rafael Nadal is the second best tennis player in the world. But when he plays on clay he is absolutely the best. Just ask Roger Federer whom Nadal beat again last week in Monaco. Read our lead story titled, “King of the Clay Court” and find out more about this successful Spaniard.
Our past issues have been full of stories about the riots in Tibet, the Western media’s reaction and the Chinese reaction to the Western media's reaction. This week we spotlight the man who is behind it all, the Tibetan holy leader, the Dalai Lama. He is a fascinating man that is both loved and hated by many people depending on their view of Tibet. Read the story and find out more about this compelling character.
On our Campus Trends page you can learn about the youngest college professor in the world and also about how Harry Potter has been chosen to be a required reading text in UK schools. Also read your peers opinions on the debate we posed about who should receive extra points on the college entrance examination.
On our culture and leisure page you can read a story called, “Racing into the Theaters” about a new American movie called, "Speed Racer." The movie is based on a popular show of the same name, which used to be on tv many years ago. The movie is supposed to be exciting and action-packed. Also read the story "Anything Can Happen in Sport" and learn about superstition in American baseball.
On our Science Life page read the story "Clones Unleashed". It talks about how South Korea is currently training cloned dogs to act as drug sniffing dogs at airports and harbors. They are using them because training drug sniffing dogs is expensive and it is very difficult to find dogs that can pass the tests. So South Korean officials hope to save money by using these clones. However, this opens up considerable ethic issues. If South Koreans can use cloned dogs to save money what is to say in the future a country won't use cloned humans as soldiers. It is a scary thought and once you let something happen you can't turn back from it. Read the story and discuss this ethical debate with your classmates. Where do you stand on the issue?
Well, that's an inside look at Teens for the Week of May 5, from all of us here at 21st Century, have a great week. And remember to keep practicing your English.
