Summary :
Barcelona lose it is first time match in the Spanish league on Saturday squandering a two goal lead in a 3-2 defeat at Real Sociedad and conceding an injury-time winner, "one day we are going to lose" Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova said.


Reflection :

        The big football club Barcelona lose with Real Sociedad in Spanish League match. How impossible a big football club lose with Real Sociedad.
        As I know that a big rival of Barcelona is Real Madrid C.F.,maybe when the match was began Barcelona is not ready for playing or the player was very tired to continue the game.
        Barcelona players can play well in the match but maybe they were unlucky in the match and Real Sociedad win 3-2 with Barcelona.
       Barcelona has best player named Messi but can't win the game because Barcelona's defense failed to protect, from this moment Barcelona lose first time in the Spanish League.

4.      Reflection

The condolences from China given to the victims of the earthquake happened in Iran was so unbelievable. Why I said unbelievable? Usually human only want to help for their closer friends. They sometimes do not want to care each other because they do not know each other so that they have no special relationship then. Special relationship like friends is important. We are human act that always need each other, that is social creature. We need friends to help us in some aspects such as education, feeling, etc. Can you imagine that somehow, we do not have any friends anymore, live alone and finally died because you cannot fulfill your need by yourself because you need somebody else to support any rather need that you need. For example: the need for school equipment is the need of students. If the needs are not fulfill, a student may get disturbed in the learning process.

It is same as a country. The word ‘’Friends” can be used for country. If you can imagine, the country is as same as human. It needs the other country to fulfill its needs. Because one country cannot fulfill the whole people needs that live in the country by themselves even the country have so many people inside. Why? countries in the world have their own unique nature given by God to be useful to fulfill their needs. Nevertheless, the requirements of human are always increase. Therefore, they have to find the other source to fulfill their needs. If they cannot find it in their country. They will find (import) it from the other country.

When we want to import something, we have to make an agreement of commerce. It may call as a friendship of country. Same like a human, if a country want to have a friendship. They will see the characteristic first. Is that good or bad. If it is good they will accept. If it is bad of course, they will refuse. Fascination is important for the country who want to have some friendship with some countries because more friendship, there are many benefits you will get.

Unbelievable China! They show and use one of the charming fascinations that are showing condolences to Iran. Goodness may conducive another more goodness.
