  1. Hi!
    I´m going to comment these headlines:
    1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    I think that it´s incredible because the pills pass many security controls. These pills are tested in animals as well. However, we see, thanks to this news, that we always have to be careful with medicines.
    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.
    I think that this boy was unlucky because it´s difficult have these kind of problems with a ball in the playground of the school. Although we never do anything about it, because children need to play football or others sports, we will talk to our children to be careful.
    Goodbye!!!

  2. 4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.
    I think that he was unlucky because the hit had to be too strong for the boy is fighting for his life right now. However, we can't stop playing games like football or basketball, but we can have more careful when we play.

    3. Union leader threatens Olympics disruption.
    I don't know why the union leader threatens disruption of the Olympics. It could be for attacks? It might be for the time? What is more is that the union leader pretend to do this in the middle of the Olympics. I don't agree.

  3. Hi
    I´m going to comment these headlines:
    1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    I think this is impossible because a lot of people take these pills and they don´t die. The problem is that if you take a lot of pills it can cause failure in the organism and in a extreme case may be fatal
    3. Union leader threatens Olympics disruption.
    In my opinion it is impossible that a person
    can´t stop an important event suddenly because these are very important to the city where it does and that creates a lot of revenue and a lot of people have already bought tickets

  5. 2. Increase of uni places 'failing to benefit poor'.

    In my opinion, this measure is good, because in Spain there are many people who haven't access to university and this should be a challenge for our country to give education to people who living in similar situations because of the crisis.

    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.

    I think that is a tragic and amazing event. A boy was playing with friends when he was beaten with a ball, with as bad luck as to fall to the ground in shock. However we don't have to stop play these games because a boy has had an accident but we must be careful to practice them. We hope that the teachers act quickly and the boy will recover soon.

  6. 4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.

    I think it is a tragic accident because this is very unusual.Howewer i think is a bad luck and so dont should take action for this .

    1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    I think it is very rare because it should be when you take a lot.
    Also this pills are very popular and pass a lot of controls , should be more safe.

  7. Hi!!!
    I'll tell you about some very interesting news:

    1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.

    I think it is incredible that some pills dangerous pass to market,
    although these pills pass through security checks, however you must be very careful with the medicines consume because, what's more
    we could pills can kill us.

    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.

    This kid has been hit very hard and is fighting for his life now. I think the child has to have a disease because it is so difficult that a ball can do that!!!. However is essential to sport in school as well is necessary to take precautions to prevent these accidents.

    Bye!!!

  8. Hello.
    I'm going to talk about this headlines:
    1- Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    This headline is scary. Too many people use sleeping pills for sleeping. What's more, the doctors prescribe this pills. However, I think that the sleeping pills can kill is exaggerated.
    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.
    I think it's a surprising news. The boy was in the bad place, in the bad moment. In the break there is a lot of people play violently as well. Although, I hope the boy recovers.
    Goodbye.

  9. I'm going to talk about some interesting headlines:


    1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.


    I think it is rare for people kill with this type of pills because although you take many pills and before or after you stay sleep before you died. However a lot of people mix alcohol and other thinks with the pills and this is the problem for the people didn't think that is dangerous to mix.

    2. Increase of uni places 'failing to benefit poor'.

    Is a good way to give opportunities to all for equal because the poor as well have opportunities although they haven't the same study that the rich. For this I'm my opinion I believe that also of the increase of uni places must improve the education for the poor.

  10. Hello! I'm going to give my opinion about this headlines:

    I think that the sleeping pills are bad when you take a big dose,however if your doctor prescribe yourself, you musn't worry.

    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.
    It is a incredible new.He had an amazing piece of luck as well. What's more the boy has had very strong.

  11. Hello!
    This is my opinion about these headlines:
    1.Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    In my opinion,I think that the sleeping pills can’t kill if the people take one pills each day it can’t be bad.However if you take more than this ,you could fell ill or what is more,you could die.
    4.Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.
    I think that is very difficult the boy fights for his life only for a ball, although if the ball give to the boy in a bad zone of the head and the ball was very hard,is possible the boy could die.

  12. Hi!
    I'm going to talk about these headlines that I have just see:

    1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.

    I think this headline may be true. There are a lot of pills that we don't know which are their principal inconvenients. We bought the product and, without read the directions for use, we eat it.
    What's more, people who really need this pills are the most damages because, probably, these pills doesn't agree with they.
    However, a lot of people who don't need it, buy it only because the want eat it because they think is better for they as well.

    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.

    I think this is incredible, how meny people do a lot of high-risk sports and they don't suffer any accidents? This boy must be jinx!
    I think is astonishing because, for example, football players are beaten and they are perfectly. However, this boy was in the wrong place in the wrong time.
    After that, I think he'll heat all of ball's sports.

    Bye!!

  13. Hi!
    I'm gonna comment about this two newspaper headlines:

    1.Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    In my opinion, this headline isn't very reliable becouse i don't think that the companies allow the sale of this kind of products. However, the money is what moves the world so i'm not so sure about it.

    2.Boy,16,fights for life after he was hit by a ball at school.

    In my opinion, this headline is very unbelievable becouse i didn't see anything like that before. Of course that i have seen how the ball hits people and i have felt it too, but it is practically impossible that a simple football can kill someone.
    In conclussion, i think that the two headlines were invented.

    Bye !!! !!! !!!

  14. 1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    I don't know how it can be real. First of all if this pills can kill, I don't understand why they are on sale... What's more the people who can't sleep...what can they do? Supposedly this pills are safe and they have been invented for help people, however...they kill? An explanation please...
    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.
    Well...what can I say? It is a tragedy.Unfortunately these things happen in life ...It is difficult although here is the proof that impossible is nothing. We must be careful...however I think this is the fate, and we can't do anything. I just can say good luck.

    See you soon!

  15. 1.Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.

    I think that it seems a joke, we aren’t toys, we are persons! They can’t play whit us. Although the medicine is progress day by day, with some medicaments we have to be careful. What’s more, I need sleeping pills and would not reawaken.


    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.

    It’s incredible! People are becoming more aggressive. Although the centers are more controlled, the quantity of delinquents youth is increasing as well. How fat do we go?

  16. Hello!
    I´ve just read this headlines in the newspaper and I´m going to comment it.

    1.-Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    I think that this new it´s no surprising. With the amount of medicaments that there are in our lifes, it´s normaly someome die for the medicaments. However always is surprising to read about a death. Although science is very advanced, sometimes fail. However, Sleeping pills for sleep one night, can make you sleep forever.


    2.- Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.
    Wow! This new is so lurid! I know that people get excited playing football. However, I think people are too gross and they are like beasts. Although the people are aggressive, the boy that recived the ball probably was very clumsy and clueless. It was his fault as well.

  17. 1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.
    I think these cases when the sleeping pills (or of other types) have side effects, or the death, aren't very probable. I think these problems happen because they are medicines without the symbol of guarantee of the European Union, and the most probably thing is you can't find this pills in drugstores.

    2. Increase of uni places 'failing to benefit poor'.
    I think this measure isn't going to be applied in a short period of time because with the crisis the governments don’t invest in education. But I hope to be wrong and the governments take measurements that the poorest could have top studies, because the matriculation of the universities (public or private) are very expensive.

    I´m going to talk about:

    -Sleeping pills:how tiny dose can kill I don´t believe this, the pills can kill you? Why they are on sale? However, the people should know what is the best thing for them and they have to know what they are buying... But I think it is amazing that something that can kills you, it´s available for you.

    -Boy,16,fights for life after he was "hit by a ball" First of all, I think it´s bad luck. However, I think this happens and it is part of life, if some people are playing with a ball and they hit you with no bad intention, it´s bad luck. However you must be careful.

  19. Hello!

    1. Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill.

    In my opinion the use of sleeping pills alone must be used in case very specific sincenot only an excess can cause the death if not that the scientists have verified that the persons who use them presented a risk of dying more of four times that a person who has never used them.

    4. Boy, 16, fights for life after he was 'hit by a ball' at school.

    The news of this boy I am very surprised, the one who would imagine that a little
    so innocent as a game in the school might have such a tragic end. I hope that it recovers quickly and that the suitable measurements are taken in order that it doesn't happen again.

  20. Hi!
    I'm going to talk about two of these headlines:

    1.Sleeping pills: how tiny dose can kill: I think this will probably be true. The abuse of drugs (in this occasion, pills) can be dangerous for our body. Famous people like Michael Jackson died cause of this. However, people medicate oneself without doctor's appointment, and this is a thing we must never do.

    2.Increase of uni places 'failing to benefit poor': I think this measure is very well for poor people, although some people with money can pose as a poor person to give these place free.I don't agree with this option to help poor people, I sorry.
