M3 Altana_B When I look at these photos where the U.S. President Barack Obama and prime ministers of Great Britain David Cameron and Denmark Helle Thorning-Schmidt photographed themselves on phone at a funeral of the died ex-South African President Nelson Mandela. I consider that this behavior is extremely disrespectful, nonprofessional and simply indifferent. The president is the person of the country and the people and I am sure that he behaved very tactlessly. In my opinion, Michele Obama behaved correctly that she let known her husband that his behavior is decency. I want to believe, that with his side will be no more such inexcusable tricks.

Viewpoint: English is dead, long live 'glocalisation' 1) Its nascent language, HTML, was programmed by an Englishman, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and the first computers to be shipped across the world used the Roman alphabet. 2) In recent years we've witnessed a loosening of this anglicised grip, with Mandarin and Spanish thrashing it out as linguistic heavyweights, fiercely contending for the top spot. 3) For instance internet users in China over the age of 25 tend to scan the width and breadth of a website's page in a manner that Western users would find indiscriminate and overwhelming. 4) All global platforms - whether a Fortune 500 website, social network, or blog - exist simultaneously within a complex spectrum of different cultural contexts. 5) There are many ways in which we can adapt our online platforms for better engagement - from researching our audience's age and gender, to their social group, country of origin and level of digital literacy.

M5 __Learning for life__ Making your own bread needs a little hard work but it's great fun and the delicious smell and taste of freshly baked bread makes it all worth while. What You Need: Ingredients:


 * 225g (1 ½ Cups) Strong plain white flour or plain wholemeal flour
 * 1 level teaspoon salt
 * 1 level teaspoon sugar
 * 15g (1 level tbspoon) soft tub margarine
 * 1 sachet (6g) easy blend dried yeast or fast action easy blend dried yeast
 * 150 ml (2/3 cup) warm water - NOT HOT!

**What To Do:**

 * 1) Get an ADULT to help!
 * 2) Wash your hands thoroughly in soap and water.
 * 3) Collect all the tools and ingredients together.
 * 4) Put the flour in the mixing bowl and add the sugar and the salt.
 * 5) Add the margarine and rub into the flour using your finger tips.
 * 6) Add the dried yeast and stir into the flour mix
 * 7) Add all the water at once to the flour mix and stir together using the wooden spoon.
 * 8) Use your hands as the dough gets tough and when it leaves the sides of the bowl clean (add a little more flour if it is too sticky), put the dough onto a floured surface.
 * 9) Now the hard work! The dough will feel tight and lumpy and you must 'knead' it to make it smooth and stretchy. Push your hands into the dough, gather it back into a ball, turn it slightly and then repeat. Do this for about 5 minutes until the dough feels smooth.
 * 10) Shape the dough into your own design or use one of the ideas below and place it on the greased baking tray.
 * 11) Cover the shape with the oiled cling film to stop it drying out and then put the tray in a warm place so that the yeast can work and make the dough rise. In winter this might be the airing cupboard, or in summer the kitchen itself may be warm enough.
 * 12) Now set the oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas Mark 8
 * 13) When the loaf shape has about doubled in size (after about 30 minutes), remove the cling film and place the tray in the centre of the oven.
 * 14) Bake the loaf for 20-25 minutes. It should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath.
 * 15) Put the loaf on a wire rack to cool and the tuck in!

M6 __In the Money__ Money doesn’t buy happiness but it helps.

Money has become one of the main things in our modern life. Some people live their lives to earn money. They work hard, trying to earn as much money as they can. Some of them become crazy about it and lose their dignity hunting money. They don’t appreciate such important things as family, friendship, love and other feelings. Such people become greedy, they spend their lives in loneliness.

I don’t deny that money influences our life a lot. As W.S. Maugham said “ Money is like the sixth feeling without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.” I quite agree. A person can’t be happy if he has no money to satisfy his natural needs. But I think that money should have a limit. A person shouldn’t have too much money. It begins destroying him and becomes his curse.

It is said in the Bible that “The love of money is the root of all evil.” Yes, big sums of money really bring different problems because people feel very envious and jealous of other’s fortune. The majority of all the crimes are made because of money.

I’m among the people who consider that money is not all-powerful. Humanity, dignity, intelligence, kindness and other good qualities of a person can’t be bought for money. We’ll never be able to buy pure love, real friendship and loving and caring family. But life isn’t worth living without these things. It’s not worth living if money has become the point of it either.

M7 __ Living together __ For many living alone may seem to be ideal. Come and go as you please, never have to clean up after yourself, or the best one being able to stroll around naked. For those who live alone, the reality can sometimes be much different than what one may have expected. For one, the ability to come and go as you please is granted. However, it can quickly turn into a routine of work-home-school. Being financially ready to live alone, involves good planning and one must stick to a budget. Be ready for the unexpected should you not have a loophole in case things don't go as planned.Certainly, you will find that cleaning up after yourself is a necessity. When there are no utensils to eat with or you suddenly get a call that family is on their way to visit, you will quickly go into cleaning mode. Also, there's that unfortunate reality that no matter how many underwear you have, you will need to do laundry eventually.
