Why have I chosen that object? First of all, It's necessary to describe  what I see here. The water reflects  the multi-coloured  houses and willow trees that line the river bank as well as a white sail boat that floats along the water. A woman dressed in a light gown stands beneath a willow tree on the left, gazing by the water. So it's not surprising that it is exactly this masterpiese which attracted me. All the view is painted in light, warm, nice palette and, moreover, it's impossible not to be amused with the fascinating capability of the artist to show the reflection in the water. Additionly, the miraculous greenery struck my eyes from the first sight.

Who is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church ? How would you describe the tone of the crowd waiting for Pope Benedict XVI in Mexico? According to the report, what message did Pope Benedict XVI include in his sermon? In your view, what is the significance of a religious leader visiting a country?


Pope Benedict XVI is the leader of the  Roman Catholic Church. The people, waited for the pope, were terribly glad and happy, when they saw him. I suppose, he told about the freedom of religion and ways of Catholic live. He also wanted to attract the attention of other peoplein oder to join them to his religion.

What technique does Nelson Dellis use for memorization? What might be the advantages of relying on the memorization technique seen in the program versus other ways of finding information (e.g. Internet searches)? Would you want to learn the memorization technique featured in the report? Why or why not? Do you have any unique methods of memorizing information? Explain.

His techicuques are rather bizzarre, but really interesting and worths trying. He tryes to focan numbers. And he turnes them into pictures, which helps him to make associations. Numbers are people for him. Thise techniques, in my opinion, are quite usefull and productive, because they simplify your memorasation dramatically. I' d like to use it. Talking about my  methods of memorasation, I want to say that it's really usufull to write down the new words, you are trying to remember, with closed eyes. It helps very much, indeed.
  
How might allowing cameras inside the U.S. Supreme Court chambers affect news coverage of their cases? What might be the pros and cons of video coverage of Supreme Court cases for both viewers and the Supreme Court?


I reckon, allowing cameras inside the US Supreme Court will increase the interest of people, so the judges will have more responsibility when they adjudge. The downside of allowing cameras are that  the trial might be longer than it has been, because  there can be an iteration of some scenes.
