The story is very difficult. I can not understand the text.

Shambo

Shambo, the bull at the centre of a three-month legal fight, has been killed. After a positive test for TB, an order was made for his slaughter, in keeping with the law. However, the multi-faith community where he lived went to court to try to save him as he was a sacred animal to Hindus.

A High Court judge said that the order to kill him was unlawful, but the decision was overturned in the Appeal Court. Police had to be called in as worshippers had formed a human shield around the animal to stop him being taken away. Opinion is very divided on the issue- some believe that he was a danger to the national herd and needed to be killed, while others feel that religious beliefs should be respected and the community had offered to provide sufficient measures to ensure that he would not infect any other animals if he contracted the disease as they planned to isolate him. The authorities cut through the security fence and led the bull away. The following morning they announced that he had been given a lethal injection.

The debate on the issue is unlikely to end with the death of Shambo and may widen into a debate about the policy of killing cows that test positive for TB.

Task 4

Write an essay ” My best trip organized by my school”

I don’t travel much with my school, so I don’t have much to say. As I changed my schools for 5 times for different reasons, and Sebastatsi school is the last one I joined last year, I didn’t manage to travel with my class. So, I would like to tell about the trip organaized by «Tatev» school. It was a whole day trip to Goshavanq. We started our trip early in the morning. Everyone was ready for hiking: comfortable shoes, clothes and backpacks. Our bus stopped far away from the lake Gosh and we started to walk. While we were walking we were singing, joking, telling stories. When we were tired, we sat under trees and ate our lunch. Then the most difficult part of our trip began. We climbed mountains and we were really tired. But finally we saw Goshavank which is a very old church. I have very warm memories from that trip.
