The extraterrestrial highway

It’s situated in Nevada. Its old name was Route 375. There we can find the Alien Research Center and some mysterious ancient hieroglyphics. Route 375 begins at Crystal Springs. There you must drive carefully because you don’t want to run over an alien. Then, you must be careful because animals like elks, coyotes are free. The first junction is for Groom Lake that goes to Area 51, a secret Us Air Force base. It doesn’t exist,  but local people know better. The highway descends into Sand Spring Valley where there is a strange restaurant with Alien Burgers. Also on the Highway there is a strange building with a huge metal alien at the door where you can buy alien souvenirs. At the end, there is the Lunar Crater. Legend tell us an UFO crashed here, but experts say the crater resulted from an underground explosion.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a science fiction film released in December 2015. It's directed by J. J. Abrams. The main actors are John Boyega as Finn, Daisy Ridley as Rey and Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron. It is set in Abu Dhabi, Iceland, Ireland and England. It talks about Finn, Rey and Poe Dameron's search for Luke Skywalker and their fight alongside the Resistance, led by veterans of the Rebel Alliance, against Kylo Ren, the dark Lord, and the First Order, a successor group of the Galactic Empire. I see this film at the cinema in December. As soon as I saw it, I liked it so much for the action, the special effects and also for the actors, and for this the next few days I started to see the previous six films/episodes. I recommend this film for people who loves science fiction films.

Describing pictures: New York

This photo shows a landscape of New York. It was taken by an anonymous author and it's a coloured photo. On the right, in the foreground there is the Statue of Liberty and in the background there are a lots of skyscrapers and also there is the sea with many floats. This photo, maybe, can be the symbol of New York. I like this photo because I love this city and I would like to visit it; I think the atmosphere is peaceful and it makes me feel happy and relaxing.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King was an American Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is the best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs. He helped to organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech. There, he established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history. In the speech "I have a dream" King called for an end to racism in the United States and called for civil and economic rights. 

In 1964 King received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolence.

In 1968, King was planning a national occupation of Washington D.C. when he was assassinated on April 4th in Memphis, Tennessee. his death was followed by riots in many U.S. cities.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as a holiday in numerous cities and states beginning in 1971, and as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986.

Twitter

Twitter is a "social networking system" like MySpace and Facebook and it's very popular in the United States, Britain and Japan. You write messages with a maximum of  140 characters. In your message you answer one simple question: "What are you doing now?" Twitter is a popular with "normal people", but it is also popular with celebrities who use it as a blog. A twitter message is called a tweet that is literally the sound of a small bird. The symbol on the twitter website is a bird on a tree. Twitter may not be an intelligent word, but it is the new digital activity. It is replacing "chat" as the most important form of communication. Other twitter words include follower that is a person who "follows" a twitter's old messages; retweet which means sending another person's message. Twitter is based in Silicon Valley, California. I have chosen this article because I like this social network, also I use it every day to follow celebrities.
