flash fiction again

  .There is this girl that is always smiling.
She will never tell you what's bothering her for she cares too much about not hurting anyone.
  There is this girl that is always dancing on her own. She seems happy yet the ground is constantly shaking under her tiny feet.
  This girl seems tough. And she will be, one day. But for now - she's had enough.

BBC Woman's hour

              Woman's hour

  A few women invited to the programme discussed some issues connected to gender, colour inequality. 

  First spoke Leomie Anderson. She talked about the injustice in the fashion buisness that women of colour like her have to struggle with.

  Later they talked about the campaign which encourages men to let women take some of their sits in the cabinet so that they also have a chance to take part in decision making.

  There was also a discussion about giving and receiving advice

  Lastly the hostess talked to Rae Earl about the social anxiety.

 

  I was very happy that I found a podcast like that but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The subjects that were broached were interesting and relatable to me and I've heard about some things for the first time which is also stimulating me to think more about certain issues. I've especially enjoyed listening to Leomie Anderson because she talked about problems that most people in our society aren't aware of and in my opinion it's important that influencers like her are outspoken and talk about difficult topics as well.

My flash fiction

She always had to wait for him with dinner because he tended to disappear right before it was served. And he always had to listen her scream because she tended to get annoyed easily. There was not a single day without a fight and there were too many days when no one said a three letter word.
They both seemed bored and careless until she fell asleep one day and didn't open her eyes later. Suddenly all of their old habits seemed to be acts of true love that no one else noticed but them.

            Cattle slughter banned
  The Indian government has recently announced a banning on selling cattle for slaugther on animal markets. Cattle here means not only cows but also camels, bulles, buffalos etc. It is supposed to protect cattle from the cruelty that they had been experiencing.
  It's finally some good news. I think bans like that should have been brought in much earlier but despite that, it's still very good that things start to slowly change in the case of animals' rights!

-cattle animals, such as cows, bulles

People in India won't be able to sell their cattle on animal markets anymore.

Groups that fight for animals' rights were the first ones that pop out to say that they strongly supported that banning.

82 kidnapped girls are released!

  Eighty two nigerian girls that were kidnapped more than three years ago were released two weeks ago and now they have come back to their families. It's been a very emotional reunion of girls and their parents that were extremely worried about them during all these years. 
  The girls won't immediately come back to the lives they had had before kidnapping. They will first go through medical and phycological treatment. They will also have to catch up with the school material that they had missed. 
   I'm so happy that after all of those horrible things that happened to the kidnapped girls they finally get to go back to their families and start their lives again. I hope the nigerian government will also succed to find and release other girls that had been kidnapped.

-to catch up with to do all the work that you missed for some reason

-to come about to happen unexpectadly

I'm not sure how the whole thing with that accident came about.

The reunion of kidnapped girls and their families was a very jubilant event.

Fast asleep?
 Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe who is 93 years old was accused of constantly falling asleep during important political meetings. However his spokesman claimed that Mugabe only kept his eyes closed because he can't stand bright eyes. Some people are still worried that something might be wrong with Mugabe's health. Despite the controversy around this topic Robert Mugabe prepares himself for next years presidential elections.
 In my opinion Mugabe should consider leaving politics at his age and take more care about his health. I find it unimaginable that he still wants to get involved in such an important job, that is being a president.

-spokesman a person who represents for example a president in press etc.

President's spokesman announced that the president would be absent for today's brefieng.

-increasingly when something grows, becomes bigger etc.

My brother became increasingly anxious before his exam.

Was Mr.Keating a good teacher?

Mr.Keating was for sure an unusual and extraordinary teacher. Some people might consider him to be eccentric and reckless. However I wouldn't agree with such an opinion. I think he was an amazing, inspiring teacher who encouraged his students to discover what their passions and abilities were. Because of his love and dedication to his work and to literature in general, those young boys realised that there is something more in poetry that just trite patterns that are the same for everyone. Mr. Keating showed them the power of creative and individual thinking. He wanted them to be intelligent and sensitive to what art brings to everyday life.
