Chinese shoppers struggle with spiralling prices

     Inflation is a major concern in China. It is obvious that country has incredible economic growth, but hundreds of millions of people still live in poverty, spending much of their income on  food.Thus,government fears rising food prices. The report showed food prices climbed 10.3 per cent last month from a year earlier, up from 9.6 per cent in December. Vegetable prices were up 2 per cent, fruit up 35 per cent, eggs up 20 per cent and grain was up 15 per cent.Producer-price inflation increased 6.6 per cent year over year, up from 5.9 per cent in December.
     I think that inflation is a serious problem in China nowaday, the prices of goods reach the highest point. It is disaster that people don't have enough money to support their daily life. the government should take immediately measure to solve this issue.

Slaughtered sled dogs' mass gravesite kept secret

     In Feb First, Globe and Mail published that 100 sled dogs were killed in Whistler. Because the organization thought they were useless. Before, these dogs worked in Olympic. When this news was released, more and more people are arguing about this.
    It was so terrible to heard this news, the dogs are loyal friends for human beings. If they don't want these dogs, they can take many ways to solve this problem instead of killed them. To sell them or to adopt them is better than killed. the dogs have right to living. It is hard to image that my favorite dog was killed. Sled dogs are clever and lovely. They are so close to people. We should respect and love them.!
