Atauro, an unusual island.

Atauro is an island that is located in the south-east of Asia on the extinct Wetar segment of the volcanic inner banda, I have been reading about this and also I have learnt a lot of new words, the reports of the CI are a good resource to learn new things.
Atauro is an unusual island and it is not just because is an island, it is because it has one feature that it is not usual in a city and it is the lack of fresh water, in this island there are no lakens, ponds , rivers or large stream. The water is supplied by the limestone rock beneath the forests and it is literally a trickle, people who live in there have to walk kilometers  from their homes  to get fresh  water, "people understand that protecting water is non-negotiable" (CI report)
There is a really close connection  between  nature and people, they understand that living this way is not that simple but is the awarenes of taking care of nature.
Even of the lack of fresh water they understand that they have to take care of animals too and the variety of mammals and lizards are part of their normal life.
with this article I have learnt a lot of vocabulary such as the words: watershed, cope, lizards, limestones,pitfall, reef and trickle.
Maybe I know it is not necesary to write these new learnt words but for me it is necessary  to remember  it them all.

Dark tales: Edgar allan Poe's Black Cat

Edgar Alllan Poe, was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, also he was considered part of the American Romantic movement.

He is better known for his short stories of mistery and horror, one of them called the ''black cat'' a short story of a happy marriage who live  appily with a black cat, and then the principal character killed his wife and the black cat too.

the adaptation of the book Dark tales: edgar Allan Poe's Black cat, into a game, is shown from the perspective of a detective looking for clues about the disappearence of Sarah, who appears in several scenes as a ghost. The game has six chapters and in everyone yu have to find clues and with them and the items givwn, the mistery gets resolved.

A lot of people think that games do not teach anything but it is clear demonstrated that you can read a book  through  it.

I think it is a really interesting game, I really enjoyed all the journey through it, it feels like you are linving the story from the perspective of a detective who is investigating who killed the woman of the story.

I loved all the soundtracks that catches your attention preventing you from quiting the game, also there were a lot of scenes where you had to put your brain on work, and it was very tricky because when the game asked you to look for thing in the scene they were pretty hiden and you do not even imagine where the asked thing would be.

in conclusion this is an example of how teacher and students can use games to make more interesting a topic, a reading or even an exam, not just to make it interesting but to learn and teach.

He and his wife were hired by Conservation international to conduct detailed biodiversity surveys of the remote, unexplored places, he had documented about his expeditions, that is what I  will post about.

Singapore, a model for cities worldwide,
In Singapore you can find a lot of treasures, it is one of the most avanced and thriving cities in Asia and in the world, not only in all the business stuff but also the world-class demostration of urban nature conservation.
In the documentary it was shown how there were a lot of nature landscapes and they were pretty beautiful, well-conserved and well- attendenced.
the singaporean government have been worked long time ago to conserve its rainfalls, forests and freshwater reserves, even the government has decreed that  is prohibit  hunting and fishing, making society understand they do not need to hunt their food.
I also find some great new words I did not know and great information you do not found anywhere.
