1. New UN study proposes ways to close additional $10 billion funding gap for education
2. http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=44401&Cr=education&Cr1=#.UUXfITl3I5E
3. This talks about the UNESCO call up the world to make the education resources better. They made the policy: "if governments and donors directed 20 per cent of their budgets to education, the move would raise $12 billion". They suggest the developing countries adding tax to make use the resources. The world leaders agreed to achieve by 2015. In addition, Europeans agreed to aid 0.7 percent of their gross national income.4. This article tells us about the UNESCO cares about the education part in the world. It means that the UN not only focus on how much international laws they made, or how much safe it is, but also education, and hoping make children a better place. However, everything come with a price. It is true that the UN need a lot of money to support the idea. No one can have such a lot of money, and this make me feel like, this organization must have background. I understand that the UN is just making a policy to encourage the world to make the education better, but even a tiny little organization need a lot of money. So that must be true that there is some backgrounds. 5. We haven't discuss much about this. In their opinions, the UN can influence a lot to the world and especially the security council. We talk about the veto power from this 5 countries. The decision they made might be right, and this is not unfair. For there are 5 big country with extremely strong financial powers that can absolutely influence the whole world. Therefore, it seemed not so unfair because money is almost the most powerful things in the

A4: I get some informatin from this article. Fist i understand the UN is an organization to tell the countries some important things to make themself better. Um...This article is about the human right and the officer gave some idea about this topic. In my opinion this organization is helpful to slove the problem. But because it doen't have enough power to change the bad things and there must e interest between each countries, so it's hard to say its appraisal.
A5:Although The UN doesn't have enough power to solve the issues, it gives some useful idea. This organization warn the countries. Maybe because of there are almost none interest in this organization so it protect the citizen as well. The responsibility of it is using a best way to slove the problem.

1. Strategy for disaster reduction
2. http://www.un.org/chinese/News/story.asp?NewsID=19442
3. On March 14th, 2013, the UN gave us a data. There were many disasters happened around the world in 2012. There were many people passed away because of these disasters. The economic losses were really high about $138 billion. From the time being, there were more and more disasters happened, so the economic losses would be higher.
4. Although the article is very short, the UN must use a lot of time to count. The UN is very helpful. It told us how many disasters happened and made many losses. This idea is very good , strategy for disaster reduction, I think we must agree this suggestion. Then, we should make environment nicer and the disasters less. At last, we could have a safe and rich life.
5. I knew about the nuclear test in North Korea. Then, the UN didn’t support or agree North Korea, so there was a vote. China didn’t agree strongly. I also knew that U.S.A was affirmed to entre to Pakistan and attack the land of Pakistan. U.S.A used some planes and made some Pakistani kids dead. I think that was the truth because U.S.A always wants to make “enemy” disappear.

Q4: Your thoughts about how the article helps you better understand the UN ( at least 5 sentences)
From this news I can know the UN can help promote the human rights better. Sometimes UN is useless because it can’t do any real work but have a meeting. But it is still an important organization in the world. From this news article we know that UN can in charge of the human rights. They protect the people in the world and keep peace. Without the help of the UN, the IDPs may still increase, so the UN is necessary.

The UN is committed to promote the countries’ international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights and realize the cooperation between the world peace. Although it hasn’t got much power, it still work hard to make the world a better place, the work also includes sustainable development, environment and refugee protection, rescue victims, and the fight against terrorism, etc. Maybe it still has to improve it self, such as: unfair. But I believe it can be better and powerful in the future if we support it.
