Weekly Reflection

This week something that I improved on was my Spanish on DuoLingo, I got to a higher level and did a couple of lessons. Something that I achieved from my weekly goals was starting my language milestone, I am almost finished now. Something that I need to improve on is keeping focused sometimes and not messing around with my friends. My goal for next week is to complete my learning languages Milestone.

Two teenagers rescued from catacombs

Yesterday on the 19th of June two teenagers were rescued from the catacombs beneath Paris after getting lost. These catacombs are over 250 kilometres long but only 2 kilometres are open to the public, the teenagers were stuck in the tunnels for three days and no-one has ever been stuck in the 2 kilometres of the tunnel before and as well as having been stuck in there for so long they both had hypothermia. I think that they are kind of stupid seeing that no-one has ever got lost before and that they wouldn't have brought anything such as a phone to contact anyone.

Man Jailed for 35 years for Facebook posts

A man from Thailand was jailed for 35 years after insulting the  Thai monarchy through Facebook. The law in Thailand states that you are not allowed to insult ultra-rich monarchy. The man got a jail time of ten years per offence, the original sentence was seventy years but was cut down after he confessed to posting the comments. This is one of the most serious punishments ever for insulting the Thai monarchy. Personally, I think that punishment was a bit harsh seeing that it was only a Facebook post. Does the Thai monarchy even know about it? If they did I'm sure that they would get him released, that is way too harsh as a punishment!
