After 25 years, police close case of missing British toddler on Greek island


Kerry Needham broke down at the site on Kos where her son vanished 25 years ago, clinging to her mother for support. British police wrapped up a search on the island and they had recovered an item during a dig thought to belong to Ben who was 21 months old when he disappeared while playing outside a farmhouse in 1991. A new information suggested the child may have died after being hit by a heavy vehicle. Finally , the police search for him ended in failure.

Global Warming

Global warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. Everyone can do in order to fight against and reduce the Global Warming phenomenon. People should try to buy cars with the best fuel economy, and only use their car when really necessary. They can also switch to energy companies that use renewable energy rather than fossil fuels. Finally, small things like buying energy efficient lights bulbs, turning off electricity in the house, and planting trees in the garden can help.

Use of blogger

I like to use blogger because I learn many things from it as how I write survey reports, read list quiz, and create paragraphs.....
