Watch 5 News Clip


Watch 5 News clip and do a summary of what you have heard/learnt.

The first news clip that I had decided to watch is Amanda Todd’s death. She committed suicide due to cyber bullying and the much taunting from the people around her. I have learnt that Social Medias like Facebook and twitter can be a very dangerous tool and one should think twice before posting any comments or statuses.

This news clip is about the recent typhoon bopha happening in the Philippines. Strong winds and rain have caused destruction and it is estimated that around 60 000 of the people are living in emergency shelters due to their houses being blown off. More than 200 people have lost their lives due to this typhoon as well. We do hope and pray that this typhoon would not take away any more innocent lives.

Gardens by the Bay is now open for all visitors to visit. The construction of this garden cost about 780 million and work began 5 years ago. There are ‘fake’ trees found in the gardens and they are not only there for decoration purposes but solar panels have been built on it so that it can generate solar energy and cause lesser pollution to the environment.

Millions of bees are dying and nobody knows what the reasons are. Honeybees help in the pollination of flowers and crops. With these bees dying, farmers have suffered huge losses as there is a decrease in their yields and crops.  These bees are important insects and the researchers should find out the root of the problem as soon as possible.

There has recently been a rise of Korean pop trend and gangnam style has become an international song. This song is sung by PSY, a Korean singer and up to now has the highest number of views on YouTube. There are 934 million views from fans and people all around the world in just 4 months. The CEO of Mnet has stated that actually K-pop is allowing people to learn a new language, and find out their passion or what they are really interested in.
