Whoever said bigger equals badderhasn't seen this video. This time, the largest dog in the world became the biggest baby when he saw the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. This mother loves to trick her Great Dane every year on Halloween. Every year, she dresses up in a new Halloween costume and surprises Luke (named after Luke Skywalker). His reaction is usually a combination of fear, wonder and excitement. DRESS UP = disfrazarse, vestirse elegante COSTUME = disfraz, traje WONDER = asombro
(CNN) -- One stands as tall as a red British phone booth. The other is the height of six stacked cans of baked beans.
On Thursday, for the first time, the man with the tallest recorded height in the world and the shortest man in the world met at an event in London, where they posed for photos and stretched for an awkward handshake.
AWKARD = extraño, raro
HANDSHAKE = apretón de manos
The occasion was the 10th annual Guinness World Records Day, which celebrates record-setting achievements around the globe. The Guinness folks flew the two men, Sultan Kosen of Turkey and Chandra Bahadur Dangi of Nepal, to London for the unique photo op.
ACHIEVEMENT = logro
Kosen, 31, is a part-time farmer who measures 8 feet, 3 inches tall and can reach a basketball hoop without jumping. He became the world's tallest living man in 2009, overtaking China's Xi Shun, who stood a mere 7 feet 9 inches.
Dangi, 74, is just 21½ inches tall and isthe shortest adult human ever verified by Guinness World Records. A weaver who also helps look after buffaloes and cows in his remote villageof Reemkholi, he weighs just 32 pounds.
"To be able to finally meet Chandra after all this time is amazing," Kosen said at the event. "Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives, and when I look into Chandra's eyes, I can see he's a good man."
Lil’ Drac is a little orphanedshort-tailed bat (murciélago de rabo corto). This little baby bat was very lucky as it got rescued by Weatherford, Texas Bat World Sanctuary. It is a no-profit organization dedicated towards the preservation of hundreds of bats.
Bat World Sanctuary offers rehabilitation and release programs and even lifelong sanctuary programs to non releasable bats. Bat population is in a rapid decline. More than half of the native bats of USA are endangered. Watch this man giving a loving care to this baby bat.
Who fought with a method based on courage, non-violence and truth? What was the major achievement of this spiritual leader? 3º ESO: Elsa Vázquez Rodríguez Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Gandhi. He got freedom for India, which was being oppressed by the British people with a political movement (a pacifist movement) called Satyagraha. So he is known for this, he's a role model and "The father of the Indian Nation". I think he's an amazing person because he promoted disobedience without violence and that is something hard to get. 4º ESO: Miguel Ángel González Diz

(CNN) -- A Spanish nurse's assistant who left the hospital Wednesday after beating Ebola said she was still weak but gave thanks to God and the health workers who cared for her that she was still alive.
Looking frail but happy, Teresa Romero Ramos was greeted by cheers as she spoke to journalists, flanked by her husband, Javier Limon.
FRAIL= frágil
Romero, who described her recovery as a "miracle" from God, said she was ready to do whatever she could to help others infected with Ebola.
And she indicated that she still doesn't know how she contracted the virus.
"I don't know what went wrong. I don't even know if anything went wrong. All I know is that I hold no resentment, but if getting this disease serves a purpose to anyone, to better study the disease, to help find a cure, or if my blood helps cure another person, then here I am."
RESENTMENT = resentimiento
She added that she was "willing to try, even if it means risking my life."
Romero spent 30 days at the Carlos III Hospital in Madrid, the same hospital where she contracted the illness while helping to care for an infected missionary who had been brought back from West Africa.

There's a reason dogs have long
been called a man's best friend. Their loyalty, intelligence,
devotion and affection are incredibly rewarding. From taking a long
walk together on a beautiful spring morning, being greeted by a
happily wagging tail at the end of a long day to relaxing at home in
each other's company, owning a dog can raise spirits and engender a
sense of wellbeing like almost nothing else.
And of course for all the love you put in, a dog will give you it back tenfold.
REWARDING = gratificante, satisfactorio......... TAIL = cola
GREET = saludar, dar la bienvenida.................. WELLBEING = bienestar
WAG = menear, mover...................................... TENFOLD = multiplicado por diez
Recent studies show that those of us who own a pet are usually healthier and happier in our lives than those who don't - and dog owners are particularly privileged.
Above
all, dogs are great fun. They can make you laugh, even if you've had
a terrible day, and they're always there for a reassuring hug when
you need it. A dog's primary wish in life is to make you, its owner,
happy.
