Book Review 2-10 Pollution

There are many things that called pollution all over the world. These problems are sometime taken up a subject for discussion in whole world.

Coal pollutes the air when we use it too much. Many people, trees, and animals died because of polluted air. And oil is also a one of the dangerous a cause of air pollution. And the oil producers started putting lead in gases many years ago because lead made it burn better. But, lead is poison. We breathe it through food or water and it stays inside solely but surely poisoning us.

Acid rain is a great problem in many countries in the north. Ordinary, rain is a little acid, too. The cause is to use coals and oils too much. The wind carries the gases with into the sky. There they come together with water in the air and make acid rain, acid bug, and acid snow. Acid rain is bad for buildings, too. The acid eats into the stone.

In developing country, they have to walk so long way to get the water. All over world, billions of people use rivers for washing, for drinking to carry away their waste. And also farmers use chemicals on fruits and vegetables. And some of these chemicals are very poisonous.

In addition to this, there is also some pollution all over the world. We don’t feel so much that the environmental is bad condition. Because, I think our country is rich and have favorable environment. At the same time, many people afflicted with pollution in developing country. Not only developing country, but also living things like animals or fish are afflicted with it. The burden of the pollution always downs on the socially disadvantaged.

Our prefecture, Kumamoto once had had very terrible environmental problem called “Minimata mercury disease”. In the 1950, people died not fully understand the dangers of toxic waste. A factory dumped their waste into the sea. This waste contained very poisonous metal called mercury. This poison was into the food chain. Many people ate fish polluted by mercury and accumulate it into their bodies. Thousands died from mercury poisoning and thousands people never walked and never talked again.

We have to invent any things or live with thinking about the environment. If we don’t do it, we will choke our neck by ourselves. ( 393 words)

List 2-5 Pompeii

The Pompeii was the polis that had been placed in near Napoli until AD 1 century. This polis was annihilated by an eruption of Mt. Vesvio in 79. In 18th century, a excavation has been started, and now, some important parts of remain are opened to the public for a charge. This remain is now one of the World Heritage.
In BC 89, the Pompeii became a colony of Roma. And it also became a very important strongpoint to carry many cargos that arrived at the port to send it Roma for Via Appia, and after this, it prospered as a merchant town.
On 5th February in 62, a major earthquake hit the Pompeii, and many towns were damaged so much. Although, towns were soon rebuilt greater than before, on 24th August in 79, Mt. Vesvio erupted. Volcanic ash blew down from the mountain a whole day and night, and the towns were buried under the ground completely until next day. After the annihilation, towns were never built in there. But these zones had been called “the towns”, and many people knew that the ancient polis is buried under the ground because ancient stuffs are withdrawn.
In 1748, the Pompeii was rediscovered. When the explosion in 79 BC, many people who failed to escape died with buried under a volcanic ash. When the town was discovered, their corpses were crumbled and had gone, and spaces were formed instead of their corps. Archeologist poured gypsum into it and restored the people or animals who are trying to escape from the disaster. These are so real and horrible. Remains of the town tells us that the life style of ancient Roman at that time. Breads just were baked, dishes and cutleries on the table, coins, and doodles on the walls tells us the Latin language at that time. The Pompeii was certainly a big city with full of energy.
And even now, many stuffs are discovered from Pompeii. (329 words)

Many international students were wearing costumes. For example, one was a Rock musician, the other was an ancient Roman. Some girls were wearing witch costume. We took pictures, drunk, and danced with club music. I also brought some another costume, so I lent these costumes for friends. One friend wore formal dress although the friend is boy!
