I Dreamed Of Africa-A Story About Life With Full OF Challanges

Film was released in 2000.Though it wasn't able to receive any aword and didnt break any records as a blockbuster.I think it is a good film to watch becouse it explains how tough our lives realy can be and we should find a way to go through any obstacles.It expalains us that we should never ever give up living when we receive the last thing having to face in our lives.It isnt the best film when it comes to see a happy ending but it almost like a real story that anybody could have faced in the life time.
Film is about a women(kuki) who wasn't receive her life as she wants to.Film begins with getting a proposal for her from poul who is looking to move in to kenya..she accepted his proposal and move in to kenya with her son of preveaus marrage.Then her life begining to change and she had to go thoruogh lot of challanges since they are living in a bunglow in delapilitated ranch in kenya.I'l here stop here otherwise all of u know the whole story.

Do Vampires Realy Exist

I'm sure, you definetly have watched dracula films..Specialy in these days, when twilight series breaking all records and making a name on it.But do you ever think about how vampire stories were originated?? do you ever thought have they been realy existing?? If u don't know that, these facts will help you to get a some kind of idea.
The story of vampires actualy based on a disease called porphyria.Hemoglobin is responsible for transporting O2 in the blood.In this disease hemoglobing synthesis in the body is disrupted and a defective molecule is being synthesised instead of hemoglobin.Formation of a defective molecule breaks down normal body function and leads to anemia.Anemia mean decrease in normal red blood cells in the blood.
These patients lack fresh blood in their bodies due to above mention reasons.They look more whiter than other people. They cant go through direct sunlight.this is becouse of the defective molecule formed in the body instead of hemoglobin.It reacts in direct sunlight.So when they expose in to direct sunlight their skin will be damaged.These patients should avoid sunlight and it is better for them to go out at night.these patients are treated by injecting blood.Few centuries ago patients were treated by drinking blood.
These symptoms of these patients is the origin for vampire legends since vampires also share these symptoms.It is the main reason for the creation of falk stories about them making deadly creatures who are hunting people for blood at night time.Existing of these patients make the misconception that vampires were realy existing in medieval time but actualy they were not.Porphyria is a rare disease and today we have lots of treatment fot it and we cant find out people having those symptoms.So dont afraid to go out at night, You will never meet vampires in streets.If u meet one like vampire, dont afraid he or she might be just a patient.

Global Warming-A real Warning for All man kinds....

Global warming is becoming a real threat to all lives from the samallest species to largest..Most people talk about global warming but do you know realy what it is?? How is it occur? Then how does it become a threat for all living species? How we can prvent this from bocoming a threat? What we can do for that? It is sure that we should do something for that otherwise it is like coommitng sucide.
Global warming is a result of strengthning the green house effect and it increase the temperature of the earths's surface.though global warming is threat to all of us, Green house effect is very important to maintain life on the earth. Without greenhouse effect earth's surface temperature is even below than zero celcius and life would not exist on the earth.Green house gases such as C02, CH4, H20,N02 and So2 gases trapped infared radiation which being emmited from the earth and it is the main couse for greenhouse effect.Industrial evolution and constructions of more and more colonies leads to deforestation and burning lot of fossil fuels.This increases the amount of C02 in the atmosphere and strengthen the green house effect to end up with global warming.Main reason for global warming is continuese increase of C02 in the atmosphere.
There are so many bad effects from global warming which directly threten to the exisisting life on the earth. Climate changes can be resulted from global warming.Evidence to climate changes are increasing temperature,rising in sea levels and decreasing snow cover in top of mountens and increasing the tropical cyclone activity.those climate changes produce major problems not only for humans but also for every living species.
Increase in temperature activate lot of pathogenic microorganisms(bacteria and viruses) that can't exist in normal temperatures.Those microorganisms will couse various deseases which are new to humans.excesive increase of temperature in summer give rise to lot of deaths in living species which is becoming a tradigy now. Expansion in water due to increase in temperature increases the sea level and it will be a major problem for small islands like maldives.Withdrawing of snow from top of the mountens disrupt lot of eco systems and also freshwater systems which begins from mountens. Elevated Co2 levels interfer with cultivations of crops and will decrease the food supply.If we continue to increase C02 level there will be more problems for sure.
Main solution to prevent global warming is reduce the amount of green house gasea that are being released.Most countries have been trying to come up with ways of reducing them individualy and working together as well.reducing the use of fossil fuels is a good way of reducing C02 level becouse elevation of C02 level mainly due to increase in fossil fuel burning.we should find alternative energy sources otherthan fossil fuels and should control our energy consumption to a lower value.At the same time increasing forestland will also help to decrease the C02 level in the atmosphere.Unfortunatly these solutions are not effectively implemnting in most of western countries like USA. Today atmospheric C02 level is going up greatly.For the sake of the exisisting of human beings, atleast we should try to reduce the ways of emmition of green house gases individualy as well as in organisation level.Most of the people in the world dont know how danger global warming is.So lot of acknowledging programmes should be carried to convince the important in preventing global warming.

Hi everybody...thereendra here...

fist of all i must thank liz, giving us such a wondrful oppertunity to improve our english knowledge...sooo
im thareendra de zoysa, i'm following a special degree in molecular biology and biochemistry in university of colombo..i wish to continue my studies further after completing my degree..english is the universal language now and it is the key to get knowledge in this era and it is the best whent it comes to link with the whole world today, so that is why i wanted to follow a good english course and as far as english courses are concerned british council is probably the best so that is why im here now.here are some more details about me.... i studied in aluthgama vidyalaya up to grade 9 and then i moved in to srisumangala college untill i finished my O/L and finally ended up in royal college colombo where i finished my A/Ls..im realy interested in science and the researchs involved on that and im a great fan of srilankan cricket team..in my leasure time i normally play cricket,watching movies or read..i wish all of us in the class will be having a great time in nex two months and hope everyone will be able to achieve what they are looking for....cheers!!!!!!
