AMAZING NEW INVENTIONS
Every year, more and more amazing things are invented. Here are three of our favourites for this year.
A. Fukuda’s Automatic Door
Can you imagine a door that fits around your body as you walk through it? Fukuda’s Automatic Door was designed in Japan by an inventor named Rikiya Fukuda. It automatically indentifies movement and only opens just enough to match the shape of the person or object coming through. So, what are the advantages? It saves energy by helping to keep the same temperature in a room. It can also prevent dirt and other materials from being carried inside. As well as people, the Automatic Door works for small objects, like packages delivered to a post office, or for larger things, such as a car coming through a garage door.
=>c. It’s a device that knows when you are coming.
B. The Hand Roll Piano
Traveling musicians will be happy with this invention. The Hand Roll Piano was invented by the Japanese company Yamano Music. What makes it different is that it can be rolled up like a blanket. This makes it easier to carry and easier to store. The keyboard is 100 cm long but weighs just 1 kg. It has 61 very thin keys and is made of rubber. It’s convenient to carry, but it’s also a great instrument. The piano can be played for up to 15 hours on standard batteries. It has more than 100 sounds and its own speaker.
=> d. It makes entertaining easier.
C. The LifeStraw
Today, more than one billion people in the world do not have safe water. However, it’s been discovered that for the price of a cup of coffee, a life can be saved. The LifeStraw, which costs just $3, is a device for purifying water. It is able to turn dirty water into drinking water. The drinking straw was designed by the Swiss-based company Vestergaard Frandsen. It uses seven types of filter to make water clean enough to drink. It can prevent illnesses and it can also create safe drinking water for victims of hurricanes, earthquakes or other disasters.
=> a. It’s an invention that saves lives.

Tái chế.
Bạn đã bao giờ thử nghĩ rằng nhiều thứ mà bạn có được trong một ngày nào đó sẽ bị ném đổ hết ra ngoài ? Nghĩ về quần áo của bạn, cái tivi, và cái lò. Chúng sẽ bị xé ra hoặc bị phá vỡ. Hoặc bạn chỉ muốn những thứ mới, tốt hơn. Nhưng những thứ đó sẽ đi đâu về đâu khi mà bạn ném chúng đi ?
Tin xấu rằng đa số những thứ bị ném đi sẽ ở trong một bãi rác. Bãi rác là một hố chôn lớn giữa bề mặt đất.Và có thể ở trong đó sẽ có bê tông hoặc nhựa. Chính cái nhựa này sẽ giữ hóa chất thấm vào nguồn nước xung quanh bãi rác đó.Những chiếc xe rác lấp đầy cái hố bằng tất cả những gì con người thải ra ngoài. Chúng đổ những đồ vật đó vào những cái hố. Xe lu bao bọc mọi thứ lại bằng đất. Nhưng đang có một cách tốt hơn. Và kể từ khi chúng ta đang cạn kiệt dần những khoảng trống cho hố rác, nhiều người đang thực hiện cách này.
Cách tốt nhất ở đây là tái chế. Tái chế cho phép nhiều thứ bị vứt đi có thể sử dụng lại. Cho đi những chiếc TV cũ và chiếc lò cũ. Chúng có thể được sửa lại để mà những người khác cũng có thể sử dụng. Quần áo có thể gửi đến cho những người mà cần chúng. Đa số thủy tinh, ly chén, nhựa, kim loại thì có thể tái tạo lại.Khi mà mọi người tái chế những thứ này, chúng giúp cho môi trường sống. Chúng giúp tiết kiệm không gian cho những hố rác.
Một số người lại có thùng đựng rác. Họ để giấy, kim loại, ly, và nhựa ở trong đó. Một chiếc xe tải đặc biệt lấy những thứ đó vào một trung tâm chế biến. Nhiều người khác phải lái xe đến một trung tâm chế biến nào đó và đưa những thứ này đến đó.
Chuyện gì sẽ xảy ra ở trung tâm tái chế ? Giấy sẽ được xé nhỏ, sau đó trộn với nước và bột gỗ để làm ra giấy mới. Ly thủy tinh, kim loại và nhựa thì được nung nấu.Sau đó chúng được đổ ra khuôn mẫu để làm những thứ mới. Những chiếc bình thủy tinh được nung nấu và trở thành những bình thủy tinh mới.Tái chế cho phép những thứ cũ được sử dụng nhiều lần.
Đây nhé :)
Tái chế
Bạn đã bao giờ nghĩ về việc rằng những thứ mà bạn đang sở hữu sẽ bị vứt đi một ngày nào đó chưa? Hãy nghĩ về quần áo của bạn, cái ti vi, và cái bếp lò. Chúng sẽ bị xé rách đi hoặc là bị hư, hoặc là bạn có lẽ chỉ muốn có được những thứ mới và tốt hơn. Nhưng những đồ vật đó sẽ đi đâu nếu bạn vứt chúng đi?
Tin tệ là phần lớn chúng sẽ đưa đến hố chôn rác. Hố chôn rác là một cái hố lớn trên mặt đất, nó có thể có lớp lót bằng bê tông hoặc nhựa. Lớp lót này giữ các hoá chất không tràn vào nước ngầm ở quanh bãi rác. Xe chở rác sẽ lấp đầy tất cả những thứ mà người ta vứt xuống hố rác và đổ chất tải xuống cái hố. Những chiếc xe ủi sẽ che lấp tất cả với đất. Nhưng có một cách làm tốt hơn, và từ khi chúng ta đang hết không gian cho bãi rác, nhiều người đang thực hiện cách làm này.
Cách làm tốt hơn này là tái chế. Tái chế để cho nhiều thứ có thể được sử dụng lại lần nữa. Cho đi một cái ti vi cũ hoặc chiếc bếp lò, chúng có thể được sửa lại, nhờ thế ai đó khác có thể sử dụng chúng. Quần áo có thể được gửi đến những người cần chúng. Phần lớn thuỷ tinh, giấy. nhựa và kim loại thì có thể tái chế được. Khi người ta tái chế những thứ này sẽ giúp được cho môi trường, điều này sẽ tiết kiệm được không gian để làm bãi rác! ( Con người làm mất đi không gian để làm bãi rác nhiều hơn bất cứ thứ gì! )
Một số người có thùng rác. Họ vứt giấy, kim loại, thuỷ tinh và nhựa vào chiếc thùng. Một chiếc xe tải đặc biệt sẽ đưa nững thứ này đến một trung tâm xử lý. Những người khác sẽ lái xe đến một trung tâm tái chế và để rác ở đó.
Điều gì sẽ xảy ra tại một trung tâm tái chế? Giấy bị xé nhỏ ra rồi được pha trộn với nước và bột gỗ để làm giấy mới. Thuỷ tinh, kim loại và nhựa bị nấu chảy, sau đó chúng được đổ vào khuôn để hình thành một vật mới. Những chiếc lọ thuỷ tinh được nấu chảy và trở thành những chiếc lọ mới. Tái chế khiến các đồ vật được sử dụng hoài hoài.
Oke, tự dịch đó :v Có gì sai sót thông cảm nha :))

As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet, they have high rates of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact the Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when people move to the US, the rates of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice-cream, and other high fat food become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these countries are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy products.

Modern era triggered people to create new architecture such as flats and houses. Moreover, most people want building with long lasting whereas others want building quickly and cheaply. I am personally convinced that both of them have some reasons.
To begin with, many architects made amazing design of buildings. Moreover, high technology of modern building forces an architect to improve their design become unique and outstanding. For example, modern people prefer to have their own architect to design their house as a place that they imagine. Certainly, it is need more detail design to build fabulous houses. Next, as we can see the beautiful house from Anang, famous singer in Indonesia, that his house became different with detail ornament likely palace of Arab States. Obviously, people need more money and more time to dream their dream houses becomes true.
Nevertheless, some people prefer an instant flat which are cheaper and quicker than the first house. Perhaps, the important things for them are comfort houses with limited budget. Thus, people will buy house in apartment or home rent area which are available and affordable to reach as quick as they can. In other ways, they do not pay much money because some regency gives them easier of payment by taking monthly payment approximately 100 until 500 USD on each flat. After all, people could add some ornaments in their house from timber or metal. Others they could put the pictures of modern galleries to make their home more fashionable.
From my point of views, people could design their new houses by taking own architect to make a great outstanding houses. Of course, people take much money for creating new design for their lovely houses. Whereas, some people prefer to other flats which are available and affordable. According to Indonesian Minister of Finance, Indonesia people spent fifty percent from their salary for appropriate accommodation such as house and vehicles. Others there are people with less salary who need better flats for living. By that, I think government should help to provide cheaper flats for their citizen with less money. The government could make regulation for create a cheaper flat from them.
To sum up, I agree to both of them that having great outstanding houses are like dreaming for some people who keep much money. Whereas, I think it is better to accommodate other people with minimum salary to live in an affordable flats or apartment by some regulations from government.
Housing is one of basic needs which have to fulfill by people for protecting them from hot, cold, storm, rain and so on. So many dwellings are designed as perfect as possible and spend long time. On the other hand, accommodations are constructed fastly and need no much money. Usually the users of both choices are different depend on their wealth.
In my country, house is used by the owner to show prestige and causing many people makes their place to live as their dreams. They choose quality materials, the best circumstance to place their house or employ an architect. The owner hopes the house can last for long time through her or his children. The occupant also can feel comfort in there, while the type of that house needs long time and much money.
In contrary, the simple house which needs quick and cheap prize are also needed by some people. For instance the collegian, I am a university student who prefer inexpensive prize flat. In addition, if a disaster happens, the government must give the victims place to stay or live. In 2008, when Tsunami broke Nangroe Aceh Darusalam province, my president commanded social ministry and general disaster tackling organization to construct complexes in the short term. The buildings had no good quality material because the committees had no long time to prepare all properly. They only though, how the Aceh citizens could be still alive.
In conclusion, I think that both type of flats or houses are important to be considered as the usage. While the fas accommodations ahould be built by government or private with declining risk management.
