A photo that I like

This is a photo that I like a lot. It was the winner of the World Press Photo on 2005. This is a huge prize, because the World Press Photo it's the biggest competion of photos from all around the world.
This picture was taken by Finbarr O'Reilly, a canadian photograph from de Reuters agency. He took de picture August the first of 2005.
The image shows a woman waiting on an emergency centre of alimentation, because the both of them live in a country that suffering famine. This country is Nigeria, and the city was Tahoua.
I like this pic because I think that it's kind ok witness about an importante situation that happend to people in our world. Due to the fact that, even TODAY, people are starving in Africa, I think that this photo it's very important. It is a recordatory for the common people -incluiding myself-, because they tend to forget this grave situation that affect to human beings just like us.

  3. Natalia,
    Your post is a reminder of what’s going on around the world, of things we tend to turn a blind eye to.
    Please study the following:
    (on 2005): in+year, in+month, on+day, on+date, Ex: in 1995, in April, on Monday, on June 21st.
    (the World Press Photo it's) (this photo it's very important): Double subject
    (THE picture ..... August the first): Which is the missing preposition?
    (waiting on an emergency centre): In a centre
    (the both of them): Just say ‘both of them’
    (a country that suffering famine)Say either:(a) a country that is suffering ..., or (b) a country suffering from...
    (it's kind ok witness about): a kind of witness of
    (situation that affect): What’s wrong with the verb?
