week6;2

I like being healthy so i was reading some article about health and found out that the vegetables and fruits are good for other than diets. It says that a new study suggest that they keep a stroke away.
it says Swedish survey found that women whose diet was high in fruits and vegetables which are rich in anti oxidants had a lower risk of stroke even if they had heart disease!  they can also reduce the risk that can lead to disease. fruits, vegetables, whole grains, tea and chocolate contains lots of oxidants.
If you do not like eating vegetables, you can also drink them as well to be healthy :)
 because the anti oxidants can prevent disease but you have to take them through foods, not through medicines! before reading this article, i did not know that you have to actually eat something to be healthy sometime. I hope everyone can be healthy from reading this :)

I was wondering what we can do or what people do to protect the environment and found some interesting article so i would like to share with you :)
the thing i thought was interesting is about Environment Education. this education increase knowledge and public awareness about environment problems and teaches the public what decision they should make or how they can tale responsible action. the article says that this education can not improve the environment but it is a process that would provide the capability and skills to analyze environmental problems and improve the environmental problem. as a result, all the individuals are able to make responsible decisions.
I think this is a good education because i know that some people do not know what they should/can do to protect the environment. i think if everyone could leanrn from this education, the environment  would be better.


Awareness; having knowledge of (adj) watchful
capability; The quality of being capable; ability (n)

I do not why but I am interested in captain cook and I read some of the articles about him so I am going to write about him. Captain cook was born in Britain in 1728 and died in 1779 at Kealakekua Bay when he was attacked by native Hawaiians on the beach. The reason why he was attached was that one of his crew killed one of the native Hawaiians chiefs. Captain cook sailed the world to find new lands and became the first known European that came to Hawaii. I do not really know what they exactly did to be killed so I will read more about him.
expeditions; a journey undertaken by a certain reason or goal

week4 ; 2

I was reading some article about life expectancy in the world. it said that the contry which has the longest life expectancy is Japan. but what i found the most interesting is that women live longer than the men in the all of the countries. One of the reason is they have less stress because they are more social than men and talk about their problems with their friends a lot while men tend to keep it to themselves. I thought this is very interesting because i have never thought women live longer than men. from reading this article, i thought keeping stress is really bad for you and decrease your life expectancy so i should start sharing this information to everyone so that we can live longer :)

I read about green school progect on the internet and i thought it is a really interesting progect so i would like to share about it. this project helps schools with the raising funds by helping recycle their used printer catridges, laptops, cell phones, and small electronics. by doing this project, students could learn lessons about recycling and also they could earn extra money to use for the supplies for the class room, such as class room art supplies, sports equipment, pencils, markers, and note books. I think this is a good project because kids could learn some important lessons by recycling so that the young generation can start protecting the earth and also they can use the money they earn for learning something else. I think it has a lot of advantages and we all should start doing this project!

week3;2

I read an artical about Obama coming to Hawaii for Asia Passific Economic Cooperation summit on sunday. He said that Hawaii is not perfect but it is a melting pot where many people from different race lives and work. He was born and spent his teen tears in Hawaii. When he gave a toast he said  " A'ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia." which means, "no task is too big when done together by all." I did not know what APEC is before i read some articles from online but from these articles i read, i understood better about it and also realized that there are many people living and working in hawaii and it is a melting pot.
