This is the link for the article I chose http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/newsenglish/witn/2007/07/070711_wonders.shtml
The listening wasn't working therefore I'll write about what I read.
I chose an article about the new Seven Wonders of the World. People around the world were in charge of this. They had to vote by using either the internet or text messages. Is is said that a hundred - million votes were given to get the results of this poll. The announcement of the New Seven Wonders of the World took place in a luxurious ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal.
The winning wonders were The Great Wall of China, signalled as the only one which is visible from space. Representing America there are the Rio de Janeiro's Statue of Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu in Peru and Chichen Itza in Mexico.The last two wonders - considering that the pyramids at Giza had been made and honorary candidate with no need to go through the official process - were Rome's Colosseum and the Taj Mahal.

Homework 9/5/08
" Wake up Pato ! " shouted to me Cote." Peter is dead." she said, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
After almost two hours of moaning and crying we started planning what to do. First of all, Jose was given wound care by Romina.He was seriously damaged but the quick help from Romina saved his life. After that we sat on the hot sand to discuss our plans. " And what about trying to cross over the river!" said Romina suddenly. " It's too dangerous, alligators won't let us pass. Why don't we make two groups; Pato and I would go to the road and wait there for someone to help us, and you with Jose would go to explore the forest heading towards the smoke that comes from there.If it were a campsite we are saved. But maybe it's a forest fire, you must me very careful" said Cote. "If after two days we couldn't find any help in the road we'll come back to the crash site. Same thing with both of you in the forest." said Cote with her eyes glistening in the moonlight.
