The accident was classified as level 2 on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The scale goes from zero, which means no safety risk, to seven, which means a major accident.  The Mafelec workers producing the buttons were exposed to doses of radioactivity ranging from one to three millisievert (mSv). However, three mSv are not considered to be a big health risk.

To work more efficiently on the computer. I will do this by concentrating and by not switching between sites\windows so much.

2. To get better at portraying books etc. as a visual language. I will do this by thinking about how I will portray the book etc. as soon as I have read it and then create the visual language before I forget What I was going to do.

It was actually very amazing how virtually millions of people just gathered in front of the Brandenburg gate on the road ‘unter den linden’. On the day they opened the gates the German railway put old diesel locomotives that hadn’t been used for at least ten years back on the old non electrified rails that had been out of use for years because the rails had been cut to make way for the wall. They put the locomotive on the rails again to carry people to the wall as it came down. I saw a lady asking a police official wether she was now allowed to visit her mother on the western side. The official replied in beurocrat language and the lady didn’t really understand that so she asked “can I go over now?”and when the answer ‘yes’ came she kissed the official and ran over the border.

If you are seen driving on a day you are not allowed too and get caught you are required to pay a 100 yuan fine($15). In Beijing china is also exterminating cats to get them out of the way. China has also built the quite amazing Water cube and the Birds nest as the aquatic center and stadium respectively. China has also upgraded Beijing’s subway system to improve transport to and from the Olympic venue. But because of fears that not many people will come to the Olympics most hotel owners have cut their prices by up to 50%!

We have made our own wiki pages and have embedded glogster pages into them to make them look all pretty and flash, you can view my page here. There is a link to glogster here. You will need to register to create a profile and then you can create your glogs. You can also have friends and then you can chat with the friends you have, you can look at other peoples profiles and their glogs, you can embed them into wikispaces and you can even upload your own photos/images. Another site similar to glogster is wix but I have preferred glogster. wix also lets you embed the page you designed into wikispaces but I don’t know much more about wix as I’ve hardly used it.

They are 16 and 17 respectively and are staying for half a year and will go to school here at the college. They are year twelves but are finding the work here pretty easy because the evels in germany are quite a bit harder than here which I noticed when Ilast went to germany. I went in to year four and I couldn’t keep up even though I was in year six. They are very big (1.9 metres) and might not be able to get shoes here. I have learnt lots of things from him, I have spent hours on his laptop, he has (and will continue) to improve my german because I speak to him in german and best of all he is very fun to play with.

To reach group three in maths.

I have achieved this goal because I have put more effort into my maths.

2. To work on my time management skills.

I have also achieved this because I now get my work handed in on time because I don’t do every thing on the last minute.

  1. To make more friends.

I have partly achieved this because I have made a few more friends but they are only half friends.

  1. To learn some French and Japanese

I have learnt some French and Japanese but I could have learnt more if I had enjoyed it more.

  1. To make my work neater.

I have made my work neater but I hardly need to write in books because we do most of our work on the computer.

  1. And most of all to learn something.

I have actually learnt a lot of stuff in maths and computer skills.
