News Articles

The common things from the three news articles are all of these parents gave children excessive punishment. As a result, they led to the death of the child. Also, in these news, one of the parents is step parent. Divorced households will usually cause children  more or less influence. It is hard for people to love other people's children as they love their own children. Part of the step parents give little concern for children, they
 lack of sense of responsibility. So, this kind of news has been happening all the time.
Divorce often results in many changes in children's living situations such as changing schools, child care, homes, etc. Children often also have to make adjustments to changes in relationships with friends and extended family members. These changes create a more stressful environment for children.

In my own opinion, if you love one person, even if he had been married before or he had children. You should love his children and his family members as you love him.

Mother's Day

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mother's Day is a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April, or May.

Celebrations of mothers and motherhood occur throughout the world. Many of these trace back to ancient festivals, like the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration.

However, the modern holiday is an American invention and not directly descended from these celebrations. The first suggestion for a day set aside to honor Mothers was made by Anna Jarvis, who celebrated it for the first time in 1908, then campaigned to make it an official holiday.

There is a custom of wearing a carnation on Mother's Day. A colored carnation means that the person's Mother is living. A white carnation indicates that a person's mom is dead.

A mother's love is great and could not replace by other emotion. Wish all the mothers happy and healthy all the time. Wish my mum beautiful and young forever!

World No Tobacco Day

Now, tobacco use is the number one preventable epidemic that the health community faces. The World Health Assembly created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and its lethal effects.

Governments use the tobacco control measures in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke. By implementing these measures, governments reduce the heavy burden of disease and death that is attributable to tobacco use or exposure. There are around 11% of people are protected by comprehensive national smoke-free laws.

On 7th of June this year, St. George College in Sydney will have a free BBQ  for students and they will introduce its new anti-smoking policy at the same time.

ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day is on 25th of April each year, it is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.The 25th of April was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916. It was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt.  

The letters of ANZAC are stand for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they took in that name endures to this day. During the 1920s ANZAC Day became established as a national day of commemoration for the 60,000 Australians who had died during the war.

Australians recognise 25 April as an occasion of national remembrance, on that day people show their thanks to the people who have fought for their country. They lay flowers and wreaths of red poppies at the bottom of war memorials to show they have still remebered these brave people.

A trial of an Australia mother drowning her sons.

An Australia mother named Allyson McConnell admitted drowning her two young sons 10-month-old Jayden and two-year-old Connor in the bathtub of the family's home in Millot, Alberta, in February 2010.


However, she has entered not guilty pleas to two counts of second-degree murder.


In 2005, McConnell moved from New South Wales central coast to Canada and married with a Canadian man Curtis McConnell.But the marriage deteriorated. McConnell was angry with her estranged husband and wanted to take their sons back to Australia.


McConnell's friend Marless Lizenberger thought McConnell was a good mother and she became "stressed" with the marriage troubles.


Mr McConnell filed a $C940,000($905,785) civil suit against his former wife, told the court that he believed she had killed her sons to hurt him.


Prosecutors said the case would focus on whether McConnell, who is being held on suicide watch in a mental helth ward at an Alberta hospital, had the intent required to be convicted of murder.


The trial continues.
