Helen Skelton talks about crossing the Amazon
Helen Skelton is an English television presenter and actress. She also crossed the Amazon River, more specifically, she kayaked the entire length of the river. She achieved two Guinness World Records: the longest solo journey by kayak, and the longest distance in a kayak in 24 hours by a woman.
She paddled 2010 miles by herself. Along her journey she got heat exhaustion, so that she was injected twice; she also was suffering from dehydration after heat exhaustion. Once her kayak was damaged and had to be repaired. When seasick was taking over Helen, she would throw up. And the most annoying thing was bugs. A lot of bugs stung and bit her face.
It was a grueling experience, but in Helen's words it was totally worth it. After she completed the run, she was already determined to have some more fantastic adventures.
Helen took part in this marathon not only for a wonderful experience and unforgettable feelings but also for the benefit of Sport Relief, a British charity company.
In my opinion, it's great when celebrities or other popular people undertake some actions to raise money for a good cause. Because of popularity they are followed by many people, they always have excessive attention to themselves and their performances. So they can be a role model and the magnificent example for others. Events like these show that we can do both: have a good time for ourselves and contribute to some important missions simultaneously. For example, you need not have lots of money to make a difference. Just do what can be helpful and it can result in a very enjoyable experience.0 votedNovember 28, 20180Writing challenge. Ancient Greece
I've made a decision to join the English #writingmaraphon. So, I should to write texts for 14 days. Now it's the first day. Let's go!
Some people say it's difficult to figure out the topic which you will talk about. But using textbook is really boring for me. At least for now.
Today I'd like to share with you my impressions of antiquity. I've read a lot of antique tragedies and comedies this autumn. And sometimes when I was reading I cannot realise what else I need. It seemed to me there is no world but Ancient Greece. Actually, the ancient art is on the highest level, the ancient literature raises every issue which relevant nowadays. I really admire Homer's poems, Sophocles' tragedies, Aristophanes' comedies. When I was reading it I found out it was another view of the world and it was amazing.
My teacher said every lesson: "Everything was created by Greeks long ago". It sounded like a joke and most of students smiled. But now I believe her and I understand what she feels. I completely agree with her.0 votedNovember 28, 20180The population of some countries includes a relatively large number of young adults
Some developing countries recently face a situation that the population of young adults is much larger than the number of older people.While there are several problems may caused, I still believe that the benefits on economy and society overweigh the drawbacks.
Countries with overpopulation of young people may cause the severe situation of unemployment.When students graduate from the college with an ambitious heart, they start to find the strong competition for jobs.The oversupply of labor can lead many other problems.For example, the unemployment may cause a young people to commit a crime of pilfering for survival.
It can be worse that people may try to intimidate others for getting money under the high pressure of living.
However, there are lots of advantages that can be brought by the young adults.They have better ability on creating ideas than the elder and creation is one of the most competitive element of a country.Also, they can increase the productivity to boost the economy. What’s more , young people are not only always full of energy and enthusiasm which make the workplace more vibrant but also much familiar with the new technology and informations. These reasons make me convinced that young adults are the foundation of a country and they can bring a better future.
In conclusion, I believed that it is advantageous for a country to have more young adults that elderly people.0 votedNovember 28, 20180Ein Einstellungsgespräch in der Bibliothek
