She was very tired, so she went to bed early and ____ asleep quickly. a) fell b) made c) dropped d) got

Today, a sudden emergency came up. Someone had a bad fall in the bathroom at home. It all happened so quickly, I didn’t have time to panic, I tried to stayed calm and focused on finding some inmediate solution. When I was a child, emergencies like this used to paralized me. But over time, they’ve become valuable lessons that taught me that serenity may be your best ally when chaos hits.

I have heard that few people lost their lives in floods recently. Their houses usually built between mountains which could be easily ruined by debris flow. In fact, according to the past climate records , the areas they lived were safe. It wouldn't suffer from flood, but It did. It seemed like that the extreme weather has been getting more and more in recent few years, especially floods and scorching weather. Summer is not a safe season foe everyone. We should predict all the dangers maybe come from the extreme weather. First, check the weather forecast of the area you live every day. Do something for the emergencies. Second, if you are having a trip, you need to make some strategies for the extreme weather might come in your destinations. After all, you are not familiar with the weather there, especially typhoons in the areas along the seas. Overall, human have been fighting against the nature for thousands years, we must respect it. We need to learn more skills to save oueselves when face extreme weather. If you see a man running to the top a hill while lightning, you may say he is foolish. But what would you do when you are trapped by a flood?

It was overcast today, but the sky cleared later. This afternoon, I learned about a modern revision of "Cinderella" that I think is even better. Unlike the original, which suggests a prince or fairy godmother will solve everything, this story teaches children a different lesson: we must ultimately rely on ourselves. Fairytales don't come true, magic wands don't exist, and we need to stand tall, using our own wit and determination to overcome problems.

Hi french learners, new quiz in vocabulary!!!

In the last ten years, as the smart phones spreaded rapidly, many people got into of habit of watching short form videos after work. They think that doing something fun with their cute phone is a great way of reducing stress. They usually lie in the couch and watch videos on their phones without doing other things, such as their children's academic development. I have heard many children complained that their parents watched videos on their phones after work , but asked them focused on studying. They heard their parents laughed at living room while watching something fun. The sound made them to be sad. They thought that whay their parents could do whatever they want, but they must dotheir homework. So, if parents are not self-disciplined, their children can also be hard to focus on something, especially for their academic development. I have also seen a father who spent time reading books beside his daughter after work every day. The daughter got a high academic development later.

I worked for many years as a volunteer in schools, teaching to vulnerable children whose families were in difficult situations like drugs, crime, abuse, etc. It was a great experience because it made me realise how privileged I was for not having those problems in my life and at the same time I felt it was something that I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I decided to pursue a career about something related, and I chosed politic science and law. For years later, and currently studying at university I've just been accepted to work as a human rights promoter for adults in vulnerable situations. My work will be to help them to get to know their rights and what they can do to have a better life quality and where they have to manage their claims. It makes me feel happy because I feel like I'm contributing to make their lives better.
