In this lesson, we will discuss current affairs or what's happening in the world right now.

Did you check out what happened in Connecticut recently?

Oh, but you must have heard about the shootout in Newtown last month.

President Obama is taking some solid steps to reduce gun violence.

I'm glad our government is getting serious about that.

Lunatics shouldn't be allowed to buy guns.

It's been a long time since I watched the news.

Do you know what's happening on the NASDAQ?

Well, you should keep yourself updated Sam.

I know you put money in Citibank and today's bulletin says it's up by 5%.

I think I'll sell those shares and exit Citibank.

Let me tell you something good I saw on the news tonight.

Well, I heard that polio is eradicated from the world.

I think there is only a handful of new cases.

Well, I saw in the news that it was him who financed most of the polio vaccination drive in the world from his own fortune.

Well, nothing new, but there is a documentary on Japan's earthquake which talks about how the old people there volunteered to work in radioactive areas.

They came up on their own to work on containing the leak?

And they checked the entire system while exposing themselves to radiation, so that the young people don't have to.

When people put the country's interest before their own, progress is fast.
