PRESIDENT OF GUINEA-BISSAU IS KILLED

Summary:
03 March 2009
Guinea-Bissau president shot dead

The president of Guinea Bissau, Nino Vieira, has been killed by the military. His residence came under attack hours after the head of the armed forces was killed.
Reporter: Will Ross

Report:

A military spokesman told the French news agency that President Nino Vieira was killed by the army as he tried to flee his house. There was heavy gunfire around the presidential palace during the night. A few hours earlier the head of the armed forces, General Tagme Na Waie was killed when a bomb blew up in the military headquarters.

The army spokesman suggested that the president had been behind the death of General Tagme Na Waie, and that is why he was then murdered. There is, however, no further confirmation of his death. 

Guinea Bissau has actually a history of coups and unrest. Last November, for instance, President Vieira narrowly escaped when soldiers attacked his house and in January the head of the armed forces also survived what appeared to be an attempt on his life. 

Guinea Bissau's fragility is down to the fact that its presidents have all been propped up by the military. President Vieira has been in power twice, he was ousted in 1999 after he had sacked the army commander.

Consider the text below about learning how to learn.

"There is usually one important subject missing from most school timetables. Very few students are __1__ how to organize their learning, and how to make the best use of their time. Let's take some simple examples. Do you know how to __2__ words in a dictionary, and do you understand all the __3__ the dictionary contains? Can you make notes quickly, and can you understand them afterwards? For some reason, many schools give learners no help with these matters. Teachers ask students to memorize pages from books, or tell them to write ten pages, but don't explain how to do it. Learning __4__ can be useful, yet it is more important to have a genuine understanding of a subject. You can waste a lot of time memorizing books, without __5__ anything about the subject!”
