My native country is Ukraine. I was born and lived there for seventeen years, so I'll write about the news of Ukraine. The main news of the country, I think, pretty bad. The country has the economic crisis, prices are rising, and salaries and pensions of people who have received the level at which it is very difficult to live. The main news is the arrest of Julia Timoshenko. They write a lot of news about the arrest of former Interior Minister Yuri Lutsenko and his trial will last more than a year. Unfortunately, the English news, which I do not read and do not watch because I do not like the newspapers and I'm doesn’t watch TV. I would like to learn more about the government's work, his achievements in the economy, implementation of plans in the country. It would be desirable that the country has changed for the better. I want very much to the country there was no crisis, and to enable people to live well. I read the news on the internet on the Ukrainian websites. I think this is the easiest and most affordable way to get news about everything. On the news I do not spend much time because am a student, I spend a lot of time learning the English language.

Hello: today I read politics news about my country. My president’s name is Mahmud Abbas. My native country is Palestine. I read the news in Arabic on a website called Mann News. I also have a channel of news in Arabic. Mahmud Abbas is meeting The King of Jordan in Amman this Wednesday ,and He says ,“The Israeli government still refuses to recognize the borders of a Palestinian state, and we do not have anything to return to negotiations in the event of recognition of the limits of a Palestinian state,and If we have identified the border can return to negotiations, but the Israelis do not want a border, and the security we are ready for any Israeli demands on security, provided that there is no Israeli on Palestinian land. I don’t spend a lot of time watching or reading news because I don’t have much time . I don’t really listen to news in English.

Yes I did listen to the news in English. When I came to the United States every things is changing so all the people speak English and I have to learn English. So I started to listen to the news, shows and movie too. I like to watch the news, because they have a native voice, although it’s really hard to listen all of them, but that way can improve my listening skill. I sometimes go online read about the history and technology. I don’t know it takes me how long but I usually watch TV about a half hour or less.

I think the latest news in my country is a recent British study shows that long working hours, overtime, especially in people more than 11 hours a day, increased risk of suffering from depression.

The latest news about my country is New Years day. In this day, everyone in the whole family come together and had fun just like U.S New Year. We talked together and ate lots of Vietnamese food (for example sticky rice, ginger jam...). I read the news in English in newspapers, radio or online. Because they help me lots of thing about communication skills, vocabulary… in areas that I interest (technology, musical, sports…) And I like watched to music, sports in television. But I don't have lots of free time because my job doing full time so I just listen and watch at night, after dinner.

I was born in Ukraine and latest news about my country is very importent to my. I like to read newspapers and watch TV. I always hear that many people do not have a job. I know, if people do not have a job, they are unheppy. This information is sad for me. I would like to read and watch Amerikan latest news, but my English is not so good. I am interested in news about: health, technology,business, but politics is not interesting for me. I do not spend much time watching news because I have a big family and I am a student in Sierra College. I learn English because I want to know more news about American life.

As I know and I had talked to an older man about my country, he said that before 1975 the Laos country was control by a monarchy prime minister and the senators. The senators that we had were 2-5 per states depend on how much population they had. For example the state of Syabury has less population it only has 2 senators. But in the capital state of Vientince has more population, we had 5 senators. After 1975 they have been republic democracy. Each president runs for 4 years. Now they have more school,store,market,roads,and agriculture, but not enough hospital and medication. It is hard to get a job even that you are a bachelor's degree, you may have to be a farmer.

I like to know news about my country .I read on line newspaper .Unfortunately, because my English is not good enough, I read the Romanian newspaper. I also watch the on line Romanian channels. Hopefully, very son I will be able to read and listen in English .I know that will help me to improve my English. I usually spend more than one hour a day to inform myself about what happen over the world. To be informed is a good think. I check news about health, weather, politics, fashion, nutrition. The only think that I must change is the language of the news.

The main news in Ukraine is that Yulia Tymoshenko she was the Prime Minister of Ukraine was arrested. In the internet they have a lot of news about this. I got my news from www.new.ukraine,com.I use the internet for all my news and listen to it in English because it’s a good way for me to learn the proper pronation.

I am from Palestine. The news over there is unhappy. Our country is occupied by Israel for over 64 years. We have had a peace agreement with them for over 21 years but until now no one can feel any changes. Still we are under occupation. The economy is bad, the education is bad, and no rights or freedom. Every day we have people getting shot or killed for no reason. We are just asking for our liberty like any other nation in this world, every day we suffer from the same problems.

I like to read more Russian news. It is easier for me to understand what is going on in my country. It is hard to understand news in English. Sometimes, I tried to listen or watching the news in English but of course it is hard for me. I read on Russian site today about Saratov-Volgograd city. There is a lot of snow now. Trucks can't move three days because of snow. There are a lot of food products inside trucks which they should deliver on time to another city. There are more than 400 trucks stoked in the traffic. It is so terrible! I like to read news in Russian newspapers. I like to read about health, technology, business, politics. I spend couple hours to do that. It is my hobby.

I read on Russian site today about Povolzie area. It is in Russia. The weather caster said there are suppose to be about -30'C. It is very cold and very hard to adapt for Russian people because there is vet climate. Weather caster advices for people do not come out from their homes. It is dangerous because a lot of technical damages and electrical wires damages. I like to read news in Russian and English. Usually, I read news on Russian because it is easier to read and understand. I like to read more about weather or about health. Sometimes, I can read newspapers. I don't spend a lot of time on news. I like to watch more movies or TV shows. If I were honest I wouldn't have enough of time to do that. Because I have to work and my do homework. I am taking twelve units in the Sierra college. So, it's more than enough for me.

The current events I heard in my country that there was a flood in Thailand, the worst one so far, and this news is 3 or 4 weeks old. It’s flood because over there it was raining nonstop for very long period. I’m not sure how many day did it constantly rain. But I think by now the flood should calm down because the rain has stopped. I usually read the headlines of the on the website’s page. I hardly ever read or listen to the news. I’m a busy person, always at work.
