In this article having the creator, when I think, few countries have Facebook which are as follows:
ReplyDeleteFacebook, the world’s biggest social networking site, is celebrating its fifth birthday. In a blog post, the site’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg.
The company started in a dorm room in 2004. Today it has 150 million active users, more than the 130 million of rival MySpace.Facebook is different from other social networking sites because you can communicate with people you really know and trustt was back in February 2004 when Zuckerberg started “The facebook”.By 2005 a research study showed that about 85% of the students in the network had a Facebook account. Another survey showed that Facebook was almost as important as an iPod college anymore and the fastest growing group are the 30 to 40 year olds. Every day 15 million users update their profiles to tell their friends and the world what’s happening to them.

birds
ReplyDeleteBirds need featherd to fly , they are the fastest animals on earth. Some birds can reach speeds up to 160 km an hour. But not all birds can fly like penguins and ostriches. There are about 10.000 different types of birds.
All birds hatch from eggs by a female bird. Female birds lay their eggs in nests on a tree or a bush.
Baby birds stay in the nest for several weeks or months after hatching. The mother feeds and cares for the birds untill they are old enough for the mother to leave them.
A bird has a light and strong skeleton. These powerful wings make the fly in the air. Some birds that can run fast have alot of weight to carry. The strongest muscles are in their legs.
Feathers cover most of the birds body. Some birds have up to 25.000 feathers on their body. Some feathers are brightly coloured to atract other birds. Birds loosed fethers once every year and grow back again. Mostly during the breeding season.

ReplyDeleteMichael Jackson - The Ups and Downs
Michael Jackson, the seventh of nine children, started his musical career with his brothers in 1964. They called themselves the Jackson Five. Michael quickly became the centre of attention. During the following years the band released hit after hit and became the most successful Motown group. In 1975 the Jackson Five decided to leave Motown for more money at CBS records.
Young Michael began his solo career while he was still with the group. His big breakthrough came in 1982 with the arrival of his biggest selling album, Thriller. The album had seven hit singles and became famous for its video clip.
Michael Jackson was not only a great singer, he also did crazy things. In 1984 he set his hair on fire for a commercial in Los Angeles. He was injured and carried out on a stretcher. This and many other strange stories about Jackson brought him the nickname Wacko Jacko. Nevertheless the sales of his records went up.
In the same year Michael bought his Neverland ranch in California. It cost 17 million dollars and had a ferris wheel, a movie theatre and a zoo. Three years later Jackson returned to the music scene with bleached skin. His album Bad sold more than 30 million copies and Michael Jackson’s first solo tour became a big success. It featured a colourful laser show and magic tricks. Even Prince Charles and Lady Diana were fascinated when they saw the show at Wembley Stadium.
Black and White was the biggest hit of the 1991 album Dangerous. During the promotion of his album he invited US talk master Oprah Winfrey to Neverland. There he gave the world insights into his private life, said that he was lonely and admitted that he had undergone plastic surgery.
In 1993 the King of Pop was accused of harassing children but a settlement with the 13-year old’s parents saved him from prison. The following year Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley but the couple separated a year and a half later.
By the mid 1990s Jackson’s popularity had started to fall. History was a collection of greatest hits plus a few new recordings. The pop star appeared at the Brit Awards to perform his number one single Earth Song, together with a group of children.
A second marriage with Nurse Deborah Rowe produced a son Michael and a daughter Paris.
Jackson’s downturn continued into the new millennium. It took almost 6 years to finish the album Invincible but when it was released in 2001 it was only in the charts for six weeks. The singer’s personal life became the centre of discussion when he admitted that he took children to bed.
In 2003 Jacko was arrested at his Neverland ranch after molesting a fourteen year old boy. The five month trial made him weak. He looked stressed and lost a lot of weight. After his acquittal by the court he fled to the Persian Gulf.
In March 2009 Jackson surprised the pop world by announcing that he would go on stage one last time. A series of ten concerts, definitely his last ones, are planned for July 2009 in the O2 arena in London

Sports-Skydiving
ReplyDeleteSkydiving is an extreme sports also called parachuting,its a sport in witch athletes jump out of an airplane at a certain altitude and perform acrobatic movements in free fall.At a certain hight they open there parachutes to slow down and return safely to Earth.
The first man to skydive was a Frenchman,Andre Garnerin,He jumped out of a hot air balloon and was thought to be the first real parachutist.
Later on skydiving became important for the army and air force.They would jump out of planes in the wars and often landed behind enemy lines.
Skydiving competitions events include landing close to the target and performing as many acrobatic movements in the air.In the last few years another skydiving event was sky surfingnin which a surfboard is attached to a jumper.
Before jumping the airplanes need to reach an altitude of 7,000 to 15,000 feet,before letting out the jumpers.The freefall lasts between 45 and 80 seconds.The jumpers reach a speed of 210kmh.One of the worlds most famous skydivers is the Austrian,Felix Baumgartner.

ReplyDeleteLudwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest composers in history of the music. He was born in Bonn in Germany in 1770.
ReplyDeleteHis father gave him early training so he could be a genius like Mozart. He forced him to get up in the middle of the night to practice the piano.
When he was only seven years old he played in public and when he was thirteen he became an assistant organist. Ludwig went to Vienna and he met Mozart but after short stay he had to go back to Bonn because his mother had died. He returned back to Vienna where he stays until he dies.
In 1790 he found out that he was becoming deaf. But during that time he wrote his best works.
