Dear Tony,
Im really sorry my friend, I know that I havent written a letter to you for a long time,
I know that its not a friendly attitude but I have just gotten back from a week holiday in
Fortaleza. It was a busy period of time, so I didnt have much time to do the usual things.
My routine was totally different from the one I have here in my city. There, we stayed at one
of the best hotels there. It is Hilton hotel, and it is more comfortable than a lot of hotels in
my city. Its incredible how the people are hospitable, reliable, and know how to treat anyone
who goes there. Well, if we compare the treatment that we have here in Belm its almost
unbelievable how the workers are prepared to deal with visitors, there. By the way, Yesterday, I
went to a great restaurant, but very simple and tried the food. It was wonderful. I ate a tasty cod, but my friends
had crabs, snails, and lobster. The apple juice
was the best I have tried in my life...It is an ideal place for shopping souvenirs. We must say
that my family will love it forever.

Moreover, Fortaleza is a fantastic place. Its one of the most beautiful places of Brazil. Its
very modern and exciting, but relaxing and cultural at the same time. It could be said that it
s a weird place because you can see typical shows almost every day and night, and the
respect that they have when its related to their local artists. Its something that we hardly
see in Belm. Our local artists have to make up the opportunities to show their talent on the
other hand its said that Belm is a factory of talented people. I could mention a lot of
famous peoples names, but Im going to cite jus some of them like Leila Pinheiro, Joelma, Dira
Paes, Chimbinha who is considered one of the best guitar players for many famous musicians,
and not to forget our Lyoto Machida. He is not an artist, but one of the most competent and
elusive fighters of the UFC (Ultimate Fight Championship). Thats
amazing!

In Fortaleza, there are many things to do, too. I spent most of my time shopping, taking sun bath, and
visiting the main sights, like Cumbuco and Morro Branco the first is one of the most
fascinating beaches I have ever seen in my whole life, the later is unforgettable. Its one of
the most beautiful sightseeing of the world. Besides, it is the place where I met my present
girlfriend, and I cant complain about it! Unfortunately, I had a problem on the last day. I lost
my wallet while I was shopping. As you can imagine I was really unhappy. It was the worst
thing about my trip, but when I went to the police station to report it, a friendly and humble
person had already handed it in. What a relief! Well, thats all my news.
Hope you are ok. See you soon.
Yours,
Vitor Bullock.

The Next Big One

Yet at the moment, earthquake prediction remains a matter of myth, of fabulations in which birds and snakes and
fish and bunny rabbits somehow sniff out the coming calamity. What scientists can do right now is make good
maps of fault zones and figure out which ones are probably due for a rupture. And they can make forecasts. A
forecast might say that, over a certain number of years, theres a certain likelihood of a certain magnitude
earthquake in a given spot.
Turning forecasts into predictions a magnitude 7 earthquake is expected here three days from now may be
impossible, but scientists are doing everything they can to solve the mysteries of earthquakes. They break rocks
in laboratories, studying how stone behaves under stress. They make maps of precarious, balanced rocks to see
where the ground has shaken in the past and how hard. They dig trenches across faults, searching for the active
trace. They have wired up fault zones with so many sensors its as though the Earth is a patient in intensive care.

Players With Pride

NEWS SCOOP: March 30, 2007 Vol. #12 Iss. #22
Spanish Translation

It is game day in a poor neighborhood in Nairobi, Kenya. Hundreds of kids gather at a school field to play soccer.
Their equipment would surprise most U.S. soccer players. The kids bring rakes, wheelbarrows and trash bags.
Before the game, the players will spend five hours clearing trash. They will sort items for recycling. This is the
only way to earn a spot on a soccer team. In one year, the kids will clear more than 250 tons of garbage from
their community.
Hope in a Harsh Place
The children live in Kibera (ky-bee-rah), a slum, or very poor neighborhood. Nearly 1 million people live in a
small area. Everyone is poor, and many have health problems. But a group started by a U.S. Marine captain is
giving Kibera's people a shot at a better future.
Rye Barcott started Carolina for Kibera (CFK) in 2001, when he was a college student in North Carolina. His goal
is to help people in the area build richer lives. The kids' cleanup days are only one way of doing this. "CFK is
more than just soccer," Barcott told TFK.
The group helps run a free health clinic in Kibera. CFK also has a program for girls. It gives them a place to learn
and to talk about important ideas. Girls in Kibera are rarely encouraged to get an education.
All of the CFK programs get Kiberans involved. They make important decisions about their community. Barcott
hopes kids will learn to take on Kibera's tough problems--and win.
