NEWS TOPICS

These days I am interested in the news about the financial crisis. I read an article about economy.

It said that in the fall of 2008, the credit crunch ,which had emerged a little more than a year before, ballooned  into Wall Street's biggest crisis since the Great Depression. 

This article reminds me of the financial crisis in 1997. At that time Chinese government did well and Chinese economy hadn't been affected deeply by it. Now this financial crisis has an effect on Chinese economy and I wonder what measures the government will take. That is the first reason why I want to learn more about financial crisis.

Second, to be honest I have no idea about the economy. It's a new district ,so I want to learn more about it.      

Election

Now election  is not only  the hot topic in the USA but also in the whole world.I don't think the electing process are familiar to all of us. Electing A President In Plain English is a good way to learn about it. 

From that video,I know that people who are 18 years old can have the right to vote the president in America every 4 years. The state in which a candidate who get the most votes will become the state of that candidate. But they don't elect the president according to the account of the support state in order to keep equality because of limited element such as the amount of people. They divide the state into several districts according the account of population. They count up  the votes according the districts. They elect the candidate who get the most votes from the districts and 2 senators in each state and the first get  the half votes as president. 

RA RA RIOT

I read a piece of news about RA RA RIOT. It's Ra Ra Riot,Recorded Live In Concert.It is a rough and rewarding road for Ra Ra Riot. This bank was formed in 2006. During the two years,the group endured the grueling tour schedule,inflated the expectation from critics and the sudden death of the drummer. But Ra Ra Riot emerged from it. Now, they regroup the band and bring a new album called the rhumb line.I think the band will stretch well in the future.
