Summary : This article talks about the motivating things for Ivory Coast to win the Greece in World Cup. First, Ivory Coast's soccer players, Yaya and Kolo Toure's brother, Ibrahim Toure died when Ivory Coast was playing with Colombia. Second, major flood was happened in Ivory Coast. Ivory Coast's coach, Sabri Lamouchi said that "We hope we can do something positive for the people back home to take their mind off it." Lastly, no African teams yet through to the last 16, so they want to be the first team to Round of 16. If they at least draw with the Greece, they could be the first team through to the 16, and that could give hope to Ivory Coast's people, wish to RIP for Toure.
Persuasive : This article reminds me that how the sports could be the hope for people, how much responsibility the players have for their nation, and meaning of the sports. If they pass to Round of 16, people in Ivory Coast can mind off for those tragedic things such as flood and civil war. Also, Toure brothers remained for team despite the death of thier brother for their nation. Lastly, Didie Drogba, the striker of Ivory Coast, was stopping the civil war which was lasted for 5 years by talking to them please stop the war just only for a week for soccer team which passed to go to World cup. Those things show why and how much they are motivated to win the Greece.
Summary: This article is about the project to support the cotton sector. By this, Ivory Coast aims at improving productivity and market access, and to develop financing mechanisms to facilitate farmer's access to technologies.

So, by this project, they can help farmers to access to the technologies, and ultimately, this project can develop more efficient extension services to facilitate farmers.
