For example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snake leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water and medical supplies. The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depend on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes on the earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pours into the lake everyday. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.

Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THE FACT THAT MOST OF WHAT YOU OWN WILL ONE DAY BE THROWN OUT ? THNK ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES, THE TELEVISION , AND THE STOVE. THEY WILL TEAR OR BREAK DOWN. OR YOU MAY JUST WANT TO GET NEW, BETTER THINGS. BUT WHERE DO THINGS GO WHEN YOU THROW THEM OUT ?

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT MOST OF IT GOES TO A LANDFILL. A LANDFILL IS A BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND. IT MAY HAVE A CONCRETE OR PLASTIC LINER. THIS LINER KEEPS CHEMICALS FROM SEEPING INTO THE GROUNDWATER AROUND THE LANDFILL.TRASH TRUCKS FILLED WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE THROW OUT GO TO THE LANDFILL.THEY DUMP THEIR LOADS INTO THE HOLE. BULLDOZERS COVER EVERYTHING WITH SOIL. BUT THERE IS A BETTER WAY. AND SINCE WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF LANDFILL SPACE, MORE PEOPLE ARE DOING IT.

THE BETTER WAY IS RECYCLING . RECYCLING LETS MANY THINGS BE USED AGAIN. GIVE AWAY AN OLD TV OR STOVE. THEY CAN BE FIXED SO THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN USE THEM . CLOTHES CAN BE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM. MOST GLASS , PAPER, PLASTIC, AND METAL IS RECYCLABE. WHEN PEOPLE RECYCLE THESE THINGS, IT HELPS THE ENVIRMONMENT. IT SAVES SPACE IN LANDFILL.( PEOPLE TAKES UP MORE SPACE IN LANDFILL THAN ANY OTHER THING!)

SOME PEOPLE HAVE RECYCLE BINS. THEY PUT THEIR PAPER,METAL,GLASS, AND PLASTIC INTO THE BIN. A SPECIAL TRUCK TAKES THESE THINGS TO A PROCESSING CENTER. OTHER PEOPLE MUST DRIVE TO A RECYCLING CENTER AND DROP OFF THEIR THINGS.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE RECYCLING CENTER? PAPER IS SHREDDED AND THEN MIXED WITH WATER AND WOOD PULP TO MAKE A NEW PAPER. GLASS,METAL, AND PLASTIC ARE MELTED DOWN. THEN THEY ARE POURED INTO MOLDS TO FORM NEW THINGS. GLASS JARS ARE MELTED DOWN AND BECOME NEW GLASS JARS. RECYCLING LETS THINGS BE USED OVER AND OVER.

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 :))

When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.

And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?

It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.
