Learning from others’ experience
Read the texts Alan Turing Saved 21 Million Lives In World War II, But History Punished Him For Being Gay,
Alan Turing: The codebreaker who saved ‘millions of lives’and analyse https://bbc.in/3n4gsPx

Write an essay Alan Turing: saving millions of lives
I reed both of the texts. It was powerful and sad at the same time.
I am sure that Turing loved his job, also it’s amazing how being little more interested in your job can help so many people.
He died when was only 41 , Alan could have done so much more for his country but I guess back then people cared more about personal life than your ability and knowledge.
He saved 21 million lives in WW II but at the end of the day people forgot about that, judged him and ended his career․
He lost his job and was not allowed to work at any government facility.
It is obvious that back than it was not normal being homosexual but not much have changed. It shows that people have not changed too and society would not except you with your little imperfections .
«He was forcefully given hormone therapy (as at that time homosexuality was considered as an illness and this was considered as a cure). This took a severe toll on his wellbeing, by not only destroying his libido but also making him feel weak.»
I just feel sad/bad that Turing saw how people tried to fix him and it made everything worse.

A travel guide

Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?

Where to stay

The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.

How to get around

Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.

Where to eat

The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.  

What to do

After you’ve seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!
