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.

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!

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.

I read about the major School of Travel Industry Management of University of Hawaii. It says that students have to complete 400hour internship in the area of hospitality management or tourism and transportation management such as in a hotel. Also, there are only 340 people in the undergraduate program so it is a small school. I want to be a flight attendant someday and I would love to learn about Travel Industry Management so I thought this could be the perfect major for me.

internship= a system of on-the-job training usually for college students

I read about other natural disasters in the book I have been reading. It said that the scientists believe that cyclone, floods, torrential rainfalls, droughts, and other weather catastrophes will increase in the coming decades because of the rising temperatures. It also said that the weather related disaster causes deaths, homelessness, and affect local economy. It is harder for the people who live in poor countries to recover from the disasters because they have less money and resources. I think we who live in industrialized countries should think about how we are living right now and reduce some energy consumptions so that we can save our world and live better lives.

torrential adjective pouring

torrential rain had been killed soo many people.

I read a shocking thing from the book I introduced last time again. It says that over twenty thousand square miles of ice which is nearly the size of West Virginia disappear each year. It is because gas discharges combined with human industry are making the temperature higher. I knew that some ice is melting each year but I never knew that the West Virginia’s size of ice is disappearing each year and made me think we really have to do something to stop this situation. I think each one of us can do something, such as stop using car when you can walk or stop using plastic bags when you do not needed, to protect our world.

contaminated verb poluted
you can not drink this water because it is contaminated.

I am taking global issues this term and I found that I actually did not know many of the things that are happening to the earth so I decided to share some of the things i read from the book called “the future of the earth”. It said that from the 1980s to the 1990s, the number of people in the world who affected by natural disasters increased 50%. For example, almost 318,000 people died and more than 81 million people lost their house by catastrophic floods which has dramatically increased. I hear a lot about natural disasters these days on the news but I was surprised that I actually do not know a lot about this and it made me sad.

This story is about a boy who ate potato that was poisoned and found out that he can only live for 24hours,so his best friends and he tried to do 10 things he wants to do before he dies. I think this is a good stories because it taught me that i have to live my life to the fullest because we never know what is going to happen.
