China

We are travelling to the Chinese territory and civilization. China is seen variously as an ancient civilization extending over a large area in East Asia, a nation and a multinational entity. The full name of the country is "People's Republic of China". As I said before, China covered a long range of the Asia continent. Its size is approximately 9.6 million square kilometres (9,596,961). Moreover its population reach the 1.3 billion people (1,338,612,968). Beijing, the capital of China, consists of 17,430,000. Also, another big city like Beijing is Shanghai. Well, all these resident of China speak almost 29 languages. The most spoken varieties are Mandarin (spoken by over 70% of the population), Wu, Yue (Cantonese), Min, Xiang, Gan and Hakka. Their currency is renminbi (also known as yuan). The main attractions of China are four:

Global Warming

Global warming

The problem:

Global warming is when the temperature of the Earth rises. It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals, and plants.

The cause:

Many things cause global warming. One of them is electrical pollution. It causes pollution in many ways. In most cases, fossil fuels like oil and petroleum are burned to create electricity. Many of the chemicals that pollute the air, water, and land) are sent into the air when fossil fuels are burned. These chemicals are called greenhouse gases. Some of them can cause death. Cars, buses, and trucks are also responsible for dangerous chemicals let into the air.

The solution:

One thing we can do to prevent Global warming is carpooling. Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. This helps decreasing the amount of harmful gases put into the air

Another thing we should do is being more careful about leaving things turned on like televisions, computers, and lights. We must spend outdoors without using the television or the computer. This will help our planet a lot.

We could also use public transport or trying to walk or ride our bikes to work or school. Planting trees and recycling would also help. When we recycle, less rubbish goes to landfills, so less rubbish gets burned. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere. We should watch what we buy, too. Some products contain chemicals that can cause serious damage to the Earth.

Witness a crime

Dear Alithia,

How are things? Thanks for your letter. I'm glad you're doing well. I hope everything is fine.

Well, two weeks ago, I was a witness to a mugging! While I was returning from my English school, I saw a lady crossing the main road. She was middle-aged, she had wrinkles and she was holding a bag. At the same time, I saw a young man around thirty who was behind her. He was wearing casual clothes and he was an ordinary man.

Suddenly, the young man tried to grab the lady's bag and she started screaming "Help! Help!" He pushed her and she fell down. At that moment, I panicked and I was shocked. I didn't know what to do. So, I decided to ask for help. I went to a nearby supermarket and all the assistants and the customers ran out to help the lady. Luckily, she wasn't seriously hurt. Later, we called an ambulance which took her to hospital. A policeman who was walking around the area heard the lady and caught the thief.

I was really scared because of this experience and I hope there won't be any other similar crimes. Anyway, write soon and give me everyone's news.

Best wishes,

Christina

A letter about a crime!

Dear Eve,

Thank you for your letter. I was very glad to hear you’re fine.

In my last letter, I mentioned that there was a crime wave in my area. Well, some days later, I saw a mugging! I was returning home from my friend’s house, when I noticed a strange man behind me. He was about nineteen years old.

Suddenly, I saw him attacking a 50-year-old woman who was walking on the other side of the street. He tried to take her purse! The woman started screaming, but I couldn’t do anything. I was shocked. Luckily, a police officer heard the woman screaming, came to see what happened and arrested the man. It was so frightening and I was very scared!

It must be very exciting to be a police officer, but I wouldn’t like to be one when I grow up. It must be very dangerous… What do you think? Write soon!

Love,

Nassia
