ABC Student News: Effort DOES Lead to Success

The debate team of our school won the first place in the “Tercer Certamen de Debate Intercolegial” organized by la Esen last Saturday 12 of March 2011. The group was formed by students from 12th grade: Marcela García, Fabiola Wollants and Carlos Villalobos.

The IB is a very demanding program but these students proved that with determination and hard work you can achieve what you want. They are a great example that effort does leads to success as they worked hard for weeks competing against other schools.
Congratulations to these students

ABC Student News: International News

If Napoleon Bonaparte was alive, how would he react to these news?

 France and England have recently agreed to join their armies to cut costs down.

London, UK - During the past 2^nd of November, new treaties on defence and nuclear joint were signed by two of Europe’s nuclear powers, England and France, despite the fact of being enemies in historical battles such as the one in Agincourt and Waterloo.

After having signed the agreements along with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, current prime minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, stated: “ Today we open a new chapter in a long history of co-operation on defence and security between Britain and France.”

On one of the two treaties, both heads of state committed their armies to work “more closely than ever before”, by setting up a “combined expeditionary force” of 5, 000 soldiers from both sides, as well as agreeing to share at least one aircraft carrier at sea between them. On the other treaty, both countries agreed to increase co-operation on “nuclear safety” during the next 50 years. This nuclear treaty will involve the establishment of a centre in the UK for the development of testing technology and another one in France to carry out the actual nuclear testing.

The ultimate goal of such treaties, Sarkozy and Cameron said, was “to save millions of pounds without undermining national sovereignty”.

Will these old rivals actually be able to work together in an attempt to prevent future nuclear wars and cut costs, or will this strategic move lead to yet more tension? Let’s hope for the best.
