thnx! but i meant 2 say i need 4 good things and 4 bad things, but thnx so much that helped tons!!!
 
Main idea: After 4 years of being out of the public eye because of health reasons, Fidel Castro made his first public government appearance last week when he spoke to President Obama about his concerns over nuclear war.

6 Key words:
Castro
Nuclear
Warning
Obama
War
Appearance

3 Summary facts:
1. Fidel Castro made his first government appearance in four years.
2. He spoke to President Obama about his concerns that the US and Israel will launch a nuclear attack on Iran
3. This appearance makes some believe that Castro is recovered and ready to be the leader of Cuba again.

2 good things:
1. Castro is feeling better
2. It's good to start a dialogue about the danger of nuclear war

2 bad things:
1. Castro's return to the public eye could cause unrest in Cuba
2. Americans might not like to hear Castro's advice to Obama

Your opinion - decide whether it's good or bad that Castro has returned! You could say something like "It's not clear what Castro's return will mean, or if his concern about nuclear war is legitimate, but I think it's a good thing for us to talk about the danger of nuclear weapons being used."

Hope that helps!!
