Do you know future of earth?


One day when I watch a TV problem, I knew about bad things. It is that ice of North Pole is melting now. And number of living thing that living here is decreasing. I saw a white bear in the TV problem. The white bear was so sad. They had nothing to eat, because as it is rise temperature of earth, many seal is not in North Pole. I was so sad. I think recently climate of earth is changing. In Japan, temperature of summer rises every year. I think this summer was so hot too. I worry the earth’s future. So I will show you about issue of earth.

http://epa.gov/climatechange/kids/cc.html
This site is written about climate change of earth. As it is written for children, we can easy to read and we can understand well. I was interested in about greenhouse effect. It is temperature rise on the ground. It is influenced carbon dioxide, Freon and so on. Sun solar radiation comes to earth. Some radiation troughs atmosphere and come our ground. Generally, radiation emits to space, but some of them can not emit, because there are a lot of bad gases, for example, carbon dioxide and Freon and so on. They prevent from going them to space. So the radiation can’t emit and the temperature of earth rise. It is very vicious circle, because we use a lot of cars all over the world. Fuel of car is gasoline, as it use, it changes carbon dioxide. And we use a lot of fuel, we take out many them. I thought we should idea about resolution of them.

Next, this site manages NASA. It is written about Global warming. It is similar to greenhouse effect. As this site, it will rise about 10 degrees till 2100. It is so scary things. If the bad thing is true, we will not live to earth. So we should do measure as soon as possible.

Issue is not only these, for example acid rain, decrease of coral and so on. There are a lot of about earth issue now. 1997, a lot of politician came to in Japan and enacted Kyoto protocol. But this fixed principle doesn’t promise. We should act for earth each other. We should protect our beautiful earth for children in the future.

Most of people wore dress and beautiful one-pieces. We waited a great person. He is Barak Obama.
At 4:50 pm, he came at our room. We welcomed him our clapping. And we took pictures with him. I was really nervous because he is a famous person.

I really appreciate my host family. Thank you very much. And when I wait him, Kelly (my host family’s father) introduced many people about me. He said, “This is Yuu Sakata.

Pronunciation

Monday/4/August

Linda: Linda’s jokes are way better than Joel’s. She makes me laugh. Joel should not tell any more bad jokes. I will tell Joel when he gets back how great Linda is!!!!

When I eat for lunch with my friends, one of my friend, Yoshimi, said me , ”I can not speak a pronunciation of R. So I’m practicing every day.” I agree with her. Japanese can’t speak pronunciation of R. Also, we can’t tell difference of R and L. So, we practice a pronunciation of R. Then, Kailey gave us some candy. We got a candy into my mouse, at that we did pronunciation of R. And we could say R so fluently. I was really glad. After that, we met Linda, who is Joel’s wife. When we talk to her, she said. “When I talk to Japanese people, I can listen that R’s pronunciation seems like D.” I thought we have to study more and more, and we have to practice of pronunciation.
