My name's Paula Corominas and I live in South London in England. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it. 

In my opinion there isn't anywhere for young people to go anf there aren't any facilities for them. As a result, young people spend all their time hanging around on the street. There are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti. I think the cocucil should do something about this. I'm sure they must have some land which local people can use for a youth café.

The Titanic - a tragic story

100 years after the Titanic tragedy, the world's most famous ship still fascinates us. This April, discover the legend in the new 3D version of James Cameron's film Titanic. 

What was the Titanic?

The Titanic was the largest passenger ship in the world when it was built in 1912 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was like a floating town with passengers from all social classes. Third-class passengers paid $3 to $8 for a one-way ticket to America. First-class passengers paid $30.

Inside the Titanic

The Titanic was a luxury ship. Rich passengers paid $865 for a suite decorated in elegant styles. There was also the famous Grand Staircase, which is in the film Titanic too. 

The Titanic's destination

The Titanic's first voyage was from Southampon, in England, to New York City, USA. The ship left on 10 April 1912...but never arrived at her destination.

The tragedy 

On 14 April, four days after leaving Southampton, the Titanic was in the North Atlantic. The sea was calm but visibility was low. At 11.40 pm, a lookout saw a large iceberg near the ship. 37 seconds later, the Titanic hit the iceberg and water entered the ship. At first the passengers didn't panic...two hours and 40 minutes later, at 2.20 am, the Titanic sank...

Who died?

Of the 2,224 people on board, only 710 survived: there were not enough lifeboats. Most survivors were women, children and the rich: 60% of first-class passengers survived. But only 42% of second-class and less that 25% of third-class passengers survived. 

The last survivor.

The last survivor of the Titanic died in 2009, aged 96. Her name was Millvina Dean and she was two months old when she was rescured from the ship.
