The twits


The Twits first edition.jpg

Who's a twit?

Roald Dahl depicts them in one of his well-known books, but you can also learn a good definition listening to this song. Enjoy!

Any twits around you?

Long long ago ...

... there was a brave woman who fought against segregation. Her name was Rosa Parks.

In 1955, she refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. She was arrested and fined for violating the law, but her lonely act of defiance began a movement that ended legal segregation in America, and made her an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere.

Some years later, a man had a dream. His name was Martin Luther King. Black and white people joined and sang together We Shall Overcome.

And now, more than sixty years later, what's happening in the world? Have a look at this and have your say.

Love, love love

What does love mean to you? Whose love is the most precious to you?

Buddha said: "You can search throughout the entire
universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection."

That's not always easy, is it? How do you love yourself?
