Thank you all for such interesting discussions in class last week. I was very interested in your views about Sarah Palin and her family troubles, including her teenage daughter's pregnancy.  In response to your comments on unwed pregnancies and abortions in your home countries, I found this article about a man in Viet Nam who helps women to avoid abortions by raising their babies in his own home.  What do you think about that?  

I hope you will be coming in with more stories to share this week, whether it is something from the news, something you saw on television, or just something from your own experience.  We will be talking about human interest stories this week too.  Here is one example of a human interest story.  This brave woman strangled a man who broke into her home in the night. But it turned out to be much stranger than that! Read it and let me know what you think. 

Please, share some links or stories of your own.

that's great,there are a lot of stories about small world that I had already heard.I'm a person who believe in destiny,sometime we meet people but we don't know that they would be your half of life.My friend is an example,he has a girl friend and they love each other so much.After a big argue they broke up,he love an another girl but he really did not know that she is his ex-girlfriend's best friend.This world is really small

unwed pregnancies and abortions are not allowed in Taiwan,because people think the teenagers are not mature enough to take care of their babies.Abortions are illegal if the abortioner is under eighteen.It is only forgivable if a woman abort because of the physiology impaired of baby.But in my apinion,if the parent can't offer the basic need for the babies,maybe abortions is one of the ways to prevent some problem in the future.

I'm sorry for my mistake.^^ I post the wrong place but I didn't know.I thought that it is a big problem that can affect to all society from this tendency.A lot of women get pregnant and they try to abort their kid,it will lead to many health problem even death.If they keep the child but can not take care or grow it up it would be terrible because their parent will not accept this.Things that man do is really great and certainly it will gbive happiness to many people.

Unbelievable story!An old woman like that can beat up a strong man and even kill him.May be she was lucky or god bless her,anyway she was alive.The man is killer and at last he was kill so that is what he deserve.If her husband is the hidden man behind the case he should be in jail,too.I don't think about the reason why but killing wife is worse than an animal.She used to be his love,his half of life and now he want to kill her,that terrible .

in Vietnam, the Government do not support anything for the pregnant teenagers, that is why they go to a abortion ... i object to the abortion, but they have no choice and i cannot do anything. If I was in this case, i could not know what to do, actually !!!
