One of the most good films I has ever seen is Fargo by the Coen brothers, ethan and Joel. It came out in 1996 and was the big sucess. Frances McDormand played the police officer on the film and has won the Oscar for Best Actress. She's married to Joel in real life and has made six films of her husband. The Coens' more successful film was No Country for Old Men with the Spanish Actor Javier Bardem. It came out on 2007 and won four Oscars.

Hi folks!

We ^1  `ve   had a fantastic time in China. We've been to Beijing, seen ²Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Great Wall and swum in the Yangtze river. Now we're ³Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Shanghai. We arrived late last night after a sixteen-hour train journey! I feel really ⁴                this morning so I'm ⁵                going to do much - but Josh never stops! He's out taking photos of the city. I can ⁶                it through my hotel window - it's amazingly modern and beautiful. I might go and look around ⁷                evening. The temperature is 30°C at ⁸                moment but it'll be hotter this afternoon. We're ⁹                to stay here for 2 days. Then we're flying to Hong Kong, and ¹⁰                that we'll be in Singapore. I hear you can do some very cheap shopping in these places, so I'll have to be careful! See you ¹¹Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  week.

Three things to do before you leave the planet!

1 Visit Tuvalu

Tuvalu in the Pacific Ocean is the fourth-smallest country in the world. ¹Â Â Sadly, it's also only 4 metres above sea level at its highest  . Because of the rise in sea levels, Tuvalu might be the first country to disappear under the waves. The islands are a paradise of beautiful tropical beaches and palm trees. ²Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Take a plane from Fiji, stay in one of Tuvalu's four guest houses and have a drink in its one bar. Go now, before it dies.

2 See the world's largest flower

Go to the jungles of Borneo or Sumatra and find the world's strangest plant, Rafflesia. For most of its life, the plant is invisible and hard to find. ³Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â . It grows into the world's largest flower. And it smells terrible! ⁴                                        . However, it only lasts a few days. You'll be lucky you saw one.

3 Find happiness

Why do some people live perfectly happy lives while others find life hard? The answer might be in our genes - some people are born happy. Lucky them, I hear you say!

⁵                                        . Help other people, have lots of friends, change your job. ⁶                                        . It's the only European country where people are happier than they were 30 years ago. Why? Go and find out!
