Describing a photo.

This photo shows Salerno, a city in Campania. It was taken by a plane. It's a coloured photo, In the background we can see mountains and some houses. On the left there's the motorway that connects Salerno to Reggio Calabria, and it's called A3. On the right there's Tyrrhenian Sea. In the middle there's Salerno with its houses and its buildings. In the foreground there's the harbour of Salerno, that is connected to many cities. I like this picture because it shows a wonderful landscape of Salerno, one of my favourite cities, and it transmits a sense of tranquility.

Prince Philip to step down from carrying out royal engagements.

The Duke of Edinburgh is retiring from royal duties this autumn, Buckingham Palace has announced. The decision was made by Prince Philip himself and is supported by the Queen, a palace spokesman said. The duke, who turns 96 next month, will attend previously scheduled engagements between now and August but will not accept new invitations.

The duke carried out 110 days of engagements in 2016, making him the fifth busiest member of the royal family, according to Court Circular listings.

In the statement, the spokesman said the duke "may still choose to attend certain public events from time to time".

Exercise is contagious because of social media

A new study has shown that physical activity and exercise are 'contagious' because of social media. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) discovered that people who post details of their exercise patterns and achievements on social media sites motivate and encourage other people to be more active. Researchers tracked the exercise routines of 1.1 million runners over a period of five years. They looked at the geographic location of the runners, their social network use, distance, time, pace and the calories they burned. The researchers concluded that sharing personal exercise data via social media can inspire others to exercise more, exercise harder and do so more competitively. The journal 'Nature Communications' has published the research. The study includes detailed accounts of how inspiring it can be to read about a friend's physical activity. Researchers said: "On average, an additional kilometre run by friends can inspire someone...
