Remembering Stonewall (T)

It's really interesting story. Before i read this article, i didn't know how they lived their lives for gay. I think, Stonewall episode changed their lives and that episode was the turning point to them. New era has come now, and we should accept that. they are human like us.

Stonewall

In my country i didn't hear the 80 years old gays or lesbians. But 3 or 4 years ago i heard a lot of stories about the young gays, first grade's teachers,sales for make up,computer engineers. I think they didn't out of closet because most of them didn't tell with their parents only some of their friends knew their situation.

Homosexual

I can heard a lot of homosexual in U.S. However, in my country not so many people talk about this, I mean we hear the news about homosexual pretty often, but we have the problem to accept it. I think men and women should be a couple. If the man is married another man, it is kind of strange to me. In my country, I haven't met any people who are homosexual, but I think they are just hiding.

Before 1969, every gays had to live "in closet" which means they couldn't present themselves in the public that they were gay. They didn't want to be a target of police, other people and lost their jobs. Even the people who was not gay if they had something such as long hair,wearing drag or transvestite were considered as gay.
But after the Stonewall event in 1969 and after the death of Judy Garland who was considered as the gay icon, the movement for gay people has begun.
Today, gay people achieve some rights in some states of America, but the movement is not stop. The gay people have to be treated like the normal people.

Remembering Stonewall

Being gay or lesbian before Stonewall was a very difficult proposition because the society was very much against them. They had to fire from their jobs. So, they lived secretly because they were afraid of the recriminations. Actually, gay and les are also human being. They should have the same opportunities like the other people. The society should accept them to survive. And also Homosexual couple should have the same opportunities with the other couple. These days I saw some news about the homosexual couple married that they can marry legally in five Sates. But they still miss some opportunities from the bisexual couple married. I think all of the States should pass the homosexual married and they also should have the same lives with the bisexual married. Because homosexual married is legally marriage in some countries before. Man, woman, gay, and lesbian are all human being.

Remembering Stonewall

In the past, homosexual men and women were "in the closet," which means they kept their homosexuality a secret, for fear of losing their jobs, etc.

After the Stonewall Riots in 1969, many gay people "came out of the closet." If you have time, I recommend the movie "Milk," with Sean Penn. It is about this topic.

Are homosexual people in your country "in the closet" or "out of the closet?" Has the situation changed in recent years?

News Reporting

This afternoon we will work in small groups to talk about news. Each person must tell one story. He or she should teach the key vocabulary and explain the events in his or her own words. What happened? Where? Why? What is the meaning? Then you should discuss your opinions. You are a very active, bright class, and your English is amazingly strong, so your teacher looks forward to your reporting.

Face Masks

At the beginning, this article is talking about the function of the face masks. It doesn’t only protect the people who are health, but also to be a signal with the people who are sick. It is very useful to block the spit or the germs from the air. Sometimes when a person spit in front of you, it can really help you to avoid the germs in their spit. Unfortunately, not very many people know that how to wear a face mask correctly. Most of the people will wear the mask up side down. It will keep the dust and the germs stay on the gaps of the mask. When you take off the face mask, you probably will absorb those stuffs into your body. Some of the people didn’t press the strap of the mask. It will make gap between your face and the mask and it won’t wear securely. But I really feel sad because the people even though they know that a face mask can really protect them, they still don’t like to wear it because they feel it is uncomfortable.\

According to article, maybe, taking the mask is working. However, that prevention has some problems.For instance, the mask doesn't fit user's face,inside of the mask is really hot and hummid, people make a distance from mask users,and uncomfortable when users want to talk.

National Park

After I read this article, I feel that we should protect the national park. Now in the world, we don't have so many forests or some beautiful landscapes left, so we should save the natual as much as we can. Sometimes when I look up, I can't even see the sky because of the buildings. Nowaday, humanity is hurting the earth so much, we have to do something to heal it. Therefore, I hope everyone whoever read this article can think about it, how you treat the environment system in your live? Are you killing this planet? I hope everybody can realize that the earth is sick now, we must heal it, otherwise our offersring might not have a chance to see those beautiful landscapes anymore.
