Giving Blood = Giving Life
Giving blood is an amazing thing a person can do. Why? Because people who have anaemia, cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell, and other illnesses need blood transfusion. Some people even need regular blood transfusion to live.
Think about it: giving blood as part ............ everyone’s life; something they done .............. a regular basis, like eating ........... a favourite restaurant. What kind of difference does that make? Well, a donation might make the difference between life and death for nearly five million people who receive blood transfusions every year.
Giving blood is simple and convenient. It only takes about an hour and you can make the donation at a donor center. Afterwards, you will feel good about yourself.
Most people don’t think they’ll never need a blood transfusion, but many do. Blood is something money can’t buy. One may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, this simple action may help to save lives.
The blood donation process is much quicker and easier than you think. Giving blood will not decrease your strength and it’s certainly the right thing to do.
Analise o texto abaixo:
“No decorrer do processo de evolução do ensino de línguas estrangeiras, foram desenvolvidas diversas ..................................... de ensino, cada qual apresentando uma visão particular acerca do que é língua, e qual o melhor modo de ser ensinada e aprendida.
Abordagem ...................................... diz respeito ao fato desta preocupar-se em levar para a sala de aula materiais e tarefas que têm como preocupação central o .................................... ao invés da forma da língua.”

Prince Andrew hires 'formidable' lawyer amid FBI probe
into Jeffrey Epstein links
By Lee Brown
New York Post - March 8, 2020 | 1:13pm
-
Prince Andrew has hired Britain's “most formidable”
extradition lawyer to protect him against an FBI inquiry into his
late pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports.
The Duke of York was publicly slammed by US
authorities in January for repeatedly failing to cooperate with
the ongoing investigation into Epstein's alleged sex trafficking
ring.
He is still so worried about being forced to talk, he is
now hiring an “eminent team of lawyers” to “fend off” the FBI,
according to the Daily Telegraph.
The 60-year-old royal's legal team is led by Clare
Montgomery, one of the UK's leading extradition lawyers who
has represented world leaders, including former dictator
Augusto Pinochet, the Telegraph says.
Montgomery charges $1,300-an-hour and has been
described as “the most formidable member of the bar,” the
Telegraph said, referring to a chamber of the British legal
system.
Andrew also directly hired Gary Bloxsome, a criminal
defense solicitor who works international cases — and is a
crisis-management specialist, the Telegraph says. “He's as
sharp as a blade, he's absolutely brilliant,” one acquaintance
told the paper.
Assembling the team shows just how “hugely
seriously” the duke is taking the threat of legal moves to make
him talk, says the Telegraph, which believes it is the first time
the royal family has needed to use such a powerful team of
criminal lawyers.
Andrew was forced to step down from royal duties last
November over his disastrous attempts to justify his ongoing
friendship with Epstein even after he was convicted of sex
crimes.
The royal has however always vehemently denied
knowing about Epstein's depraved behavior. He also denies
knowing Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was made to
have sex with the prince three times, starting when she was just
17.
Epstein, 66, hanged himself in a Lower Manhattan
lockup Aug. 10 while awaiting trial on federal! sex trafficking
charges.
Buckingham Palace told The Sun it does not represent
Andrew as he is no longer a working royal.

MEG PECKED
Harry WON'T make up with William despite Diana statue unveiling as he 'can't afford to upset Meghan', biographer claims
1§ Despite the brother's united front at the unveiling of the statue honouring their late mother Princess Diana, Harry made a sharp exit after the ceremony.
2§ The pair seemed in sync as they tugged the green curtain draped over the touching artwork but he left just 20 minutes later after raising a glass of bubbly to Di.
3§ He dashed back to the US to be with his wife Meghan Markle, Archie, and newborn daughter Lilibet - which royal commentator Angela Levin suggested is because "he does what he's told."
4§ But the author isn't holding her breath for a reconciliation, as she told The Andrew Pierce Show, "I think whatever Harry decides Meghan will change it."
5§ "She will make it a negative thing to happen, and I don't see that there will be a long-term progress there.
6§ "I think there will be some nasty comments about it, perhaps William pulled the green cloth harder than Harry," Ms Levin joked.
7§ "Seriously, it is a very big thing, what Harry has done, said about William, the Royal Family, and his father, and the Queen."
8§ Prince Harry and Wills have not seen each other since Prince Philip's funeral in April and have been embroiled in a bitter feud about Harry's bombshell comments about the Royal's in interviews with chat show host Oprah.
9§ "You can't just brush over that. You can put a plaster on it for half __ hour but you can't really get rid of that unless there's a huge amount of conversations over a long period of time."
10§ "And Harry does what he's told," Ms Levin continued.
11§ "If Meghan tells him how __ make a statement, he'll make it, and that's it.
12§ "He can't afford now to upset Meghan because he would feel such a failure and a misery and she'd give him what for, really. I think there's no chance __ that."
13§ Diana's sons were seen laughing and joking on Thursday afternoon surrounded by their late mother's family in the Sunken Garden for the unveiling.
