May 25, 2018, was very important for Barbados. The Honourable Mia Amor Mottley became Barbados' eighth and first female Prime Minister.

Mia Mottley’s victory in these elections returned the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) to power on the island of approximately 285,000 people for the first time in ten years.

Mia Mottley thanked Barbados for the historic win, which became clear just after midnight on May 25th. “There should be no time for boasting. We are all one people. We are Barbadians,” she said to loud applause. “We will need many hands to help make light work. We will rebuild Barbados together,” she promised.

Mia Mottley has been involved in politics for a long time. She first entered Barbadian politics back in 1991, when she ran against Leroy Brathwaite, but she lost by less than 200 votes. “Mia”, as many Barbadians call her, also comes from a political family. Her father, grandfather and uncle were all part of Barbadian politics years ago.

It is even said that the former Queen’s College student once told a teacher that she would one day be the island’s first female leader.

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists.
