A Christmas Carol’s genre is a fiction novel. The main characters of this story are Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley’s ghost and the three spirits. Ebenezer Scrooge is a hard, mean man. This story is the happen in Christmas Eve and Christmas day. In the Christmas Eve Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his long-dead partner, Jacob Marley. And after him come, three more spirits visit his house. And Scrooge dreamed his past, now and future by spirits. And he realizes a lesson that it will return to himself in the future if he is still a hard and mean man. In the story, he repeated, ‘I will remember the past, and think of the future.’ I like this sentence. And then, he becomes good man. I like this book. Because, this story is the world famous story and I read this book before. If you didn’t read this before, I recommend this book to read next time.

April 15, 2013 the news about the North Korea was became the first page of the BBC internet newspaper. The three BBC journalists and 10 London School of Economics students went to the North Korea to take panorama films and for research. They spent eight days in the country. Alex Peters, the LSE students' union, said the program should be dropped because students were lied to and could not give informed consent. But, BBC head of news programs, Ceri Thomas said that, the students had been already informed of the risks on three separate occasions. Three of the students asked that their images be taken out. But the public interest arguments for making and showing the program were "overwhelming".

Students' union general secretary Ms Peters, who was not on the trip, told the BBC News Channel: "One of the students made it absolutely clear that she was not made aware of what happened.” In the other hand, someone insisted, "They’ve (BBC journalists) used students essentially as a human shield in this situation."
