What I Learned from Other's Blogs

By reading other people's blogs I learned about economics, writing, sociology, political science, religion, art, geography, and history.
I also learned about some things that happened in the world. For example that a bus fell into a river in Nepal and it had caused a lot of deaths.
It is very interesting to read other people's blogs.

What Happens in the World

The last typhoon destroyed a lot of buildings, a tunnel with people inside, and a bridge with cars on it. More than eleven people died. It will take very long to replace everything and it won't be possible to replace the deaths. This typhoon was terrible for Taiwan.

The other thing is that Now we know why the plane in Madrid, Spain, crashed. It was because of the plane and because of the pilot. There was a problem of breakdown and no one told the pilot, but the pilot still knew so that's why it's because of the pilot. And all that happened one week before we took the plane on the same airport.
