China officials caught spray-painting grass green in Chengdu by demi tay
summary:
In China's sprawling smog-blanketed cities, life can sometimes seem a little grey.Chinese reporters filmed workers from Chengdu's municipal landscaping department as they busily painted the grassy verges of the city's roads with a fluorescent green spray. According to Top Green's website, the colour "lasts for ten to 14 weeks and is not washed away by the rain". It adds: "It also turns the soil green"But some residents found the dye also turned their shoes green as they walked across the city's newly lush lawns.
opinion:
In my opinion, i feel that the workers should not spray the green dye as it will block the plants from getting oxygen and they will wither and after 14 weeks the dye will be wash away. The dyes will enter the drain to the open seas contaminating the water and kill marine life.The dye also leave a green print onto the people shoes and thus will cause the inconvenience to the people as they would need to clean their shoes. The Chinese workers should import plants and plant them instead of spraying the dyes on the plant

Next generation of social media 'exposing girls to sexual abuse' By JunTian
Summary: New social networking sites allow teenagers to ask other sexually explicit questions,messages and demands anonymously. The anonymity provided by the sites has made them a hotbed for sexual pressure, bullying and abuse. One victim of these social networking sites was so affected that she even suffered from depression. Even without these sites, similar situation can be seen in the everyday lives of these teens. Experts are looking into this problem, hoping stop it before it gets worst.
Opinion: I feel that this is ridiculous! Teenagers should focus on their studies, not sex. They should learn how to control themselves, and also respect their classmates. Most importantly they must respect themselves. I hope that educators can teach them the correct moral values, and schools can carry out proper sex education lessons.

Threats to Earth: Over-poaching. Done by JunTian
Summary: In recent years, there have been a sharp increase in the amount of illegal wild life trade. This threatens the existence of countless species of animals and even plants. Rhino horn, elephant ivory and tiger products continue to command high prices among consumers, especially in Asia. The increase in demand resulted in an increase in the number of poaching. Laws to protect wildlife trade are also not taken seriously by many governments, resulting in smugglers being able to carry out trade easily. Because of this increase in poaching, an imbalance in the nature system can be seen. Many animals are also decreasing in number, and some might even go extinct. Fortunately, there are still organizations like the WWF that are fighting to stop such crimes! Educating the public can teach the public why we should stop buying animal parts.
Opinion: I feel that the problem of over poaching is getting out of hand. We should not be so greedy and only think about ourselves. These animals are at the brink of becoming extinct. if nothing is done. the consequences are unbearable. I sincerely hope that all poachers can stop their outrageous act, and that consumers can see that if they do not stop, they are just ruining the balance of nature. Governments should also enforce stricter laws to ensure that the problem can be solved.

Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior by ZhiGang :/
Summary: Chinese
parents trust that their children the suitable way to braced for the future is
to unveil their talents and equipping them with the suitable life skill,
self-assurance when they enter the work force. However, western parents kind of
worship their children. Western parents spur their children to follow their
affection by providing them a pleasant condition and genuine mindset to guide
them to their selected path according to their interests. All parents wants their
child excelling but different ideas helping them.
Opinions: In my
opinion, I feel that it is important on how a child is educated. Different
kinds of education may lead to child to a different path in life. The kinds of
education need to depend on the personality of the child. Some child cannot
take the harsher way of education and their education should be similar to the
Western parents’ way of teaching. They try to encourage their children to
follow their own interests and guide them through.

This causes their kids to get more spoiled and relying on parents. Some gets too pampered that they can't stick to their job when things get tough.
Opinion;
In my opinion, I think that parent should not spoil their child with what they want as to make up for not spending time with them. Such parent will only spoiling their child and may result that their child will ask for more in the future.
