  1. Hi Jane! I enjoyed reading your reviews on the articles that you found. Something that I have always loved about Gainesville is the strong community. Therefore, I wonder if the community has done anything in response to the damaged UF Sailing Team equipment. Furthermore, I am curious as to what the UF Sailing Team has done to start raising the money to replace their equipment. The Australian wildfires are something that is so tragic. It is extremely hard to watch the damage that is going on in Australia and we can’t help but feel hopeless when watching from afar. The who in this problem can come together to help restore Australia.

  2. Hey Jane, really enjoyed your work for this assignment as it greatly portrays to the University of Florida. From reading your post I gained a lot of new knowledge about our school. I was really moved by your first article learning that one of our students had passed away unfortunately. Also article five was very intriguing while scary as well, and hopefully the rumors are not true as the virus seems to be a lot more serious then some are concerned.
