israel releases 198 palestinians

the nearly 200 prisoners, including 4 women were extremely happy and grateful for the release, while one of them quoted saying, it is absolutely a great joy for their relatives, but still, there are thousands left imprisoned, so it is still a long way to go for the total freedom. however, the spokesman for israeli prime minister reasoned that it's not easy to release prisoners, especially those who were involved directly in terrorist acts against innocent civilians. u. s. secretary of state, condoleezza rice in the other hand said that she is positive that the israeli-palestinian peace deal could still be reached even though the process is going to be complicated.

thayer award address

he surely grabbed our attention at the very beginning with such an attractive attention getter of his personal experience of the doorman of the hotel asking him where was he heading to. he then elaborated well with an organized structure of the introduction, body and conclusion. he is surely a good speaker as he managed to hold my attention to keep pace with the flow of his story till the end even though i intended to make it my last night bedtime story, hehe. i was first expecting so since it is a passage full of patriotism, and how the world today is looking forward to idolizing materials much more than the pride of the nation.but then he proved me wrong, that is even a topic of serious issue could be interesting with the help of a proper approach and systematic deliver.
