Anger Management

                         ANGER MANAGEMENT

Dave Buznick is an even-tempered and quiet guy who works for a cat clothing catalog. When he was a young boy, he was exposed to bullying in front of eveybody while he was about to kiss the girl he liked.Since then, he doesn't kiss any girl when there are people around.Now, he has a girlfriend whose name is Linda. While he is going to somewhere for a business meeting, on the plane he sees somebody is sitting on his seat. After a short argument, he goes to sit with a person who introduces himself as Buddy Ride. Buddy seems very annoying and is laughing out loud at a movie, so he says for Dave to get some headsets. Dave asks for some headsets and immediately after, the flight attendant starts talking nonstop to another flight attendant. Dave asks her again, and she says to lower your voice. He says his voice is lowered, and they get into a big argument that ends up with him being tasered by a flight attendant.The next scene is in a court with Dave on trial. Consequently, he is sent to therapy for anger management. When Dave goes to theraphy, he sees his therapist is Buddy. After spending some time with Buddy, Dave realizes Buddy is also aggressive.
In my opinion, Dave wasn't guilty, they misunderstood him. As I think he is innocent, I wouldn't sentence him to jail like in the movie. If I had to sentence him, I would probably sentence him to pecuniary punishment or theraphy.

To read : http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30893139

I think the author uses informative tone in this article, because he gives information about what happened to the UK student . He doesn't tell us who is he or what is he like.I chose this  short article deliberately, but I think the author could give some more details.

Animal Care in Zoos

1The earliest known zoo was the Park of Intelligence in the province of Hunan. It

was started by a Chinese ruler about 1150 B.C. 2Today, zoo facilities are limited, so

zookeepers can not keep every animal on display year-round. 3In the winter in colder

climates, most birds must be brought indoors, so zookeepers cannot always keep each

bird on view for the public. 4Many visitors are surprised to see that some animals

remain outside all year.For exampe, penguins, polar bears, and timber wolves are happy outdoors

in wintertime. 5On the other hand, some animals are always indoors in northern areas.For example, reptiles and small

desert animals always have indoor displays. 6Zookeepers must provide indoor shelters

for large animals such as elephants, no matter how large those shelters must be! 7Today zoologists

understand much more about animal behavior, and zoos are being designed that are

similar to the animals’ natural habitats. 8Viewers can closely observe animals at animal

parks where animals roam free. 9Zoo kitchens keep a wide variety of foods ,and these are used

to prepare meals that meet each animal’s nutritional needs. 10Zoos contribute to

wildlife conservation,and they nurture species that are in danger of becoming extinct.
