    Thank you

  2. Hello
    Even Though it's not permissible To kill someone, I thought that it was possible " to put someone down" in specific circumstances. Am I wrong? What verb should we use to talk about this topic, I mean when a physician helps someone to pass away because of serious illness? Thanks a lot to look into it.

  3. I'm really sorry for that.

  4. Policy to protect wildlife by a international.

  5. Thanks a lot, I am from Indonesia

  6. A feminist was saying on internet that only women are needed for the survival of mankind. There you go!

  7. Thanks a lot, guys! I appreciate so much all your videos! I've learned a lot with your help

  8. I hope one day our species goes extinct and soon. I feel so sad that another species is gone.

  11. This breaks my heart.
    I am filled with sadness, anger and shame.
    With all of worlds wealth, all that brilliant minds, for God sake there are more than a six billion of us, if we only devoted 1% on individual level in effort to save the specie
    this would be prevented.
    NO. Insted we are focused on harvesting and killing giving nothing in return.
    Today i loose all the fate in humanity.

    This service is extremely helpful to English learners, I would like to ask a favor related to the format of videos from the programme- news review, In some of videos, you did not display white page that consist with both word and phrases. But it is easy to get understand if it embeds to video.
