1.Two police officers killed in bomb blasts near Cairo palace



Summary
  Two Egyptian policeman were killed on 1 June trying to defuse bombs planted near the Cairo's palace. The militant group Ajnad Misr claimed responsibility for explosion. They also said that their target is headquarters and high-level personnel.

Persuasive
  I choose this article, because my father is also a policeman, so I feel sympathy when I saw the title of this article. The tragic death of two policeman was due to conflict between Islamist militants and Egyptian authorities. I think it is very absurd to express their dissatisfaction like this violence, because violence can't justifiable and innocent other people die and hurt. Also, I wanna suggest Egyptian authorities to peace conference with militants not using violence equally.

2.Egyptian high school students say system is 'unfair', stage protests


Summary
  Egyptian students who protesting against unfair education system gathered in Cairo on 1 July. They suggest three demands. The first is abolishing the system of determining student's university faculty according to grade point average. The second is developing educational system. The last is call for respecting the dignity of Egyptian students and teachers.

 Persuasive
  I usually have lots of interest in education, so I choose this article. The Egypt's situation is similar to Korea, because Korea's education system is similar to them about university faculty according to grade. So, I would like to compliment Egyptian student, because they show their demands actively and try to change the absurdity of system. Therefore, I support them and I hope Korean students also fight against absurdity actively.

 3.Egypt’s richest man sentenced to prison for tax evasion

Summary
  Nassef Sawiris who is  the Egypt's richest person has been sentenced to prison in 3 years and fined $7 million. Sawiris runs Oracscom Construction Industries (OCI), Egypt's largest construction company. Then, in March 2013, Egypt's Tax Authority accused OCI of tax evasion over the $12 billion sale of its subsidiary to Lafarge in 2007 and Sawiris is responsible for this tax evasion.

Persuasive
  I think how much you earn, how much you spent, you should pay tax. The basic reason is that it is our duty to pay the tax, because the nation protect us and guarantee our rights, we can make profit. Therefore, I think it is reasonable for the arrest of Sawaris, because he didn't keep his personal duty.
