LOGS
TEXT A:
This text tells us about Isabelle de Montet-Guerin, the first British female test pilot and a brief
description of her life when she was a child. The source says that her father was the inspiration of
her career choice.
Isabelle told how she was able to gain the enough money doing odd jobs so that she afford her
studies for getting her dreams. Isabelle`s days star with some training, she works hard during 16
hours each day.
She cautions to anyone who thinks to study this career, because it is harder and you will lose your
social life. She started in Toulouse and now she has more than 13 years of experience like a test
pilot.
TEXT B:
In this text are some ideas about how the Youngers manage their social life through social media.
our parents have told us key words about it, such as "privacy" "real friends" and "wasting time".
Furthermore, it expresses how the teens believe that their parents do not understand them.

The Youngers believe that if they do not post enough photos and status, they will become
irrelevant and fade into the obscurity".
In short, the text recommends to the teens to value themselves because when posting too much
photos we seem "needed" and also like a "free sample".

TEXT C:
This text tells us about how the countries use fracking to be more independent of others. However,
the use of this technique causes problems on the society because some experts hold that fracking
has significant probabilities to contaminate the environment.
Piers Verstegen vowed that he will do whatever he could to stop the adoption of this method of
getting gas from the shale rocks. He based this decision on some cases at United States where the
exploitation of mineral resources poisoned large areas and communities.
However, Michael Lynch says that exploitation of natural resources has always been polemic ate the
United States and elsewhere. In Australia, the questions have arisen and the government has tried to
give a solution to them.
But in Australia, the principal obstacle is that landowners are not agreeing with the government
decision of taking the properties without giving an amount to them.
TEXT D:
There is a humanitarian organization "Doctors Without Borders" a little sample of charitable hearts
worldwide. It was created in 1971 by doctors a journalist in France but it spread itself in 19
countries and its staff represents dozens of nationalities and the majority of them came from
countries where the crises are occurring. It does not depend of any political party and it does not
promote the adoption of parties and religious faith.
This organization offers a high quality of medical services to people who are facing violence,
malnutrition, neglect or catastrophe.
