In this video Ray Zahab talks about his trek in the South Pole. He went there with two fiends, Richard Weber and Kevin Vallely. They broke the world speed record crossing the Pole. They walked for 33 days 22 hours and 55 minutes. Some days they walked for 20 hours in a day. They also became the fist men going from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole without skis, only walking. They had to cross some cracks in the ice. Some were very big. If you enter in one of these holes it is impossible to survive.
This wasn’t the first crazy trek of Ray. He also has crossed the Sahara desert in 111 days. In that trek Ray learnt how people live in North Africa almost without water. He decided to go to the South Pole after being in Africa.
While he was Antarctica he was connected to internet and all people, students, teachers… kept in touch with him. When they finished the trek they didn’t believe what they had done.

English is the most spoken language in the world. People use it in all the countries and nowadays it is becoming the language of the world. You can go anywhere if you are able to speak English. But the thing is that it seems English is becoming a mania because before few people use it. So do you think that it is really necessary for our lives?
In my opinion I think that for young people is not necessary but almost yes. We can go anywhere to study and in most of the countries they use English so it seems to me that if we don’t know it we will not pass a good time. Following with positive reasons now we travel more and farther than before so for example if we go to Holland and we don’t know their language, the Dutch, we will use English to communicate with habitants from there and also with other tourists. So in one hand it is clear that English is necessary.
But when we speak about old people we say that English is not necessary. When old people were young they didn’t study English because in those days English wasn’t spoken by many people as now. So in the other hand I think English is not necessary.
In conclusion English is necessary according to where you look. If you are young it is very important but if you are old it isn’t. So in my opinion English is becoming a mania because before people lived without speaking English and now, I don’t know why but, all people is learning and using it.
