Incredible Earth

Read and discover more about the world!

 Volcanoes are dangerous, but they are beautiful, too. There are many other incredible places on earth. Earth is round like an orange. Oranges have a skin and earth has a skin, too. We call this skin earth’s crust. Under the crust, there is very hot rock. Earth’s crust has different pieces. These pieces move very slowly. And because of this moving, earthquake is happen. This moving sometimes makes mountains, too. A volcano is a hole in earth’s crust. When a volcano erupts, hot rock flies out from under the ground, and melted rock pours out over the ground. There are many different rocks in earth’s crust. They are millions of years old. In the Painted Desert in Arizona in the USA, you can see the different rocks. On earth, there is more ocean than land. The Pacific Ocean is the biggest ocean. It is bigger than Africa. The water in the ocean is always moving waves hit the land and break the rocks. Sometimes, big pieces of rock fall into the ocean. They leave big cliffs, like the beautiful Uluwatu Cliffs in Bali in Indonesia. The Great Barrier Reef near Australia is the biggest coral reef in the world. It is 2,600 kilometers long. Sea turtles, dolphins, and many other amazing animals live there. Rivers usually begins as streams in mountains. The water comes from rain or snow. All rivers then go to the ocean. Big rivers are very strong. When the ground under a river is soft, the river makes valleys. When the ground under it is hard rock, there are waterfalls or rapids. One incredible waterfall is Iguazu Falls between Argentina and Brazil. Iguazu means “big water” in an old language of South America. The biggest mountain chain in the world is the Himalayas in Asia. It began when two pieces of Earth’s crust met and moved up. They began to move about 50 million years ago, and they are moving now, very slowly. The top of Mount Everest in the Himalayas is the highest place on Earth. Everest is very big and it’s getting bigger. The top of Everest goes up about 5 millimeters every year, because Earth’s crust is moving all the time. Usually, Earth’s crust moves very slowly, and only a few millimeters every year. Sometimes, two pieces of the crust move suddenly in different directions, and then there’s an earthquake. Earthquakes are dangerous because buildings sometimes fall down. When there’s an earthquake, people it buildings go under a heavy table. There are earthquakes under the ocean, too. Usually, they are small and not dangerous. Sometimes an earthquake under the ocean makes a giant wave called a tsunami. Tsunamis can be very dangerous. After a tsunami, there are often floods. There is water everywhere. Houses, cars, and trees are in the water. The water isn’t clean, so many people are sick. In 2004, there was a very big tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Many people died in this year.

Dead Man`s Island

       
Mr Ross lives on an island where no visitors come.

  I read Dead Man`s Island. Main character`s name is Carol Sanders. She likes pop music, so she has a lot of pictures of her favorite singer on her bedroom wall. When she was 17, her father went to Australia on business. She likes him very much. However, she had never met him again. When he was flying back to his home, the airplane which he boarded crashed into the sea. When she heard the news, she was very sad, and he couldn`t believe the news. From the time, her life became wrong and wrong. I don`t like this book, because she used the drug. If she never gave up, and she didn`t use the drug, I would like this book. When she discovered a lot of goods of her favorite singer, I was very confused, because I couldn`t understand why many goods are there. I couldn't forgive her favorite singer for what he did. I think he should compensate for his crime. The people who like horror novels would enjoy reading it.

My respect person

           I respect Kazuhito Hirai who was my English teacher and my class teacher. He is very kind, and he is loved by everyone. He graduated from Department of English at Kumamoto Gakuen University. Also He graduated at the top of his Department. He has many English qualifications, for example 1st grade of the English proficiency test and high score of TOEIC. When I asked about English, he explained very carefully what I can`t understand. He is not only kind but also humorous! Sometimes I made fun of him with my friends, and he chased us. When class was over early, he spoke about his interesting episodes. Always his episodes make us happy and laugh. He care deeply about us, so when someone absent from school, he is very worried about he or her. I haven’t seen such a perfect person!

My hate friend

A certain my friend is very bad human!!!! We are acquaintances for a long time. I was troubled by her many times. She is very careless about being on time. When I was elementary school student, I promised to play with her. She had a cellphone, but I didn`t have it, so I couldn`t contact her when I went out. We had had an appointment to meet in a park at 10 o`clock, so I went there on time. However, she was not there. I waited her   about 20 minutes, but she didn`t come. I was irritated with her very much, and I wanted to go home. If I had a cellphone, I could contact her, and I could tell her to go home or I could ask where she is. However I hadn`t cellphone, so I had to wait her since she came there. After 1 hour, she finally arrived. I said to her “You are too late! I am very angry!” Then, she began to be angry. I think she had to apologize to me for it then.

She was late many times, and the longest time was two hours!! It`s tooooo long!!!!

Also, she has more bad point. She sometimes writes ill of another person on her blog or twitter. It makes us unhappy. Sometimes ill about me was written too! I think writing ill of another person is worst act, because it is seen by everyone. Also, on a blog and twitter, we should write our happy things not ill or what makes us unhappy.

Celebration

                  I often celebrate several events. For example, I celebrate birthday of my friends, my high school graduation and getting into Kumamoto Gakuen University. I went to eat sushi when I was celebrated my high school graduation. I like celebrations, because it makes us happy, me and other people who participate in the celebration. I still remember a cerebration of my 7 years old birthday, because I was given many present, for example a home video game and many books, from my grandmother and grandfather, also my parents and my friends.  At the start of summer vacation, usually I have a celebration with my friends at the age of my high school. I like celebrating with my friends better than by myself, because in a celebration, we sing a song, eat a lot of food, talk about various things for a long time. So I always celebrate with my friends. I prefer celebrating at someone`s home to going out someplace, because we don’t have to pay attention to another people at someone`s home. However in someplace, we have to pay attention to another people, so we can`t enjoy completely. If there are many people, we sometimes go to `Yakinikuking` or `Sutaminatarou`. When we held a farewell party with members of soccer club, we go to `Sutaminatarou`. There are many kinds of food and drink, and also desert. So we can enjoy very much!! I would like to celebrate more things in my life, because the more I celebrate, the more I could enjoy my life. I think the time of celebration is very important and essential time, so we ought to be willing to use much time to celebrate many things in our life.

I was proud of him very much! He was eager in not only the exercise but also study, and he always studied whenever he is free. A lot of pictures which he drew when he was young stay in my house. For example, pictures of the main character of the dragon ball, portrait of mother. All pictures are very good! He likes playing TV games, and I like it too! Sometimes we play it together. When he can`t clear a game completely, he analyzes it in order to clear it completely. Sometimes he does it all night, so I am surprised at his concentration very much.
