Hi folks,
As usual, I'll tell you what I've done on the 7Speaking website. I had a busy week, so I only read some articles this weekend.
My first article was about India. While the rest of the world is in a recession, India is doing really well. The article told the story of a young woman who worked there. She has a driver and a housekeeper and at age 31 she is already a senior manager. It doesn't surprise me that the economy in India is doing a lot better than the world's economy. India is one of the BRIC-countries (Brazil-Russia-India-China), countries with a high economical growth. Next Tuesday there's an info session in our school about India. I think I'll go and who knows...apply for a job in India.
The second article was about one of the most intelligent animals in the world:
a dolphin. Scientists discovered that dolphins call each other by name. They did several tests with recordings of dolphin whistles and their findings suggest that dolphins use their whistles as words to identify each other. I hope one day I can swim with a dolphin. And then I'll ask him/her what his/her name is :-)
Number 3 for this week was an article about Charles Darwin. One of the most famous scientists in history celebrated his 200th birthday (if he were still
alive). Therefore a statue was unveiled at the College where Darwin studied almost 2 centuries ago. For those who don't know Darwin, he's the guy from the evolution theory ('theory of evolution by natural selection'). Darwin's theory hasn't been well received by the Church because they believe God is the creator of all humans, animals and everything else in our universe. If I had to choose between Darwin and God, I’ll pick Darwin. I don’t believe mankind (and the fauna and flora also) were created out of nothing in 6 days (not 7 days because God rested on the 7th day ;-)

Hi Stefaan,
Interesting choice for this weeks post, and as always very good English!
As for Darwin & God, too bad you are leaving so soon, we could have had an interesting talk about it.
Cheers,
Darlene
