BR#10 "Garbage"

Garbage is the name given to all the things people. Other names for garbage are trush, rubbish and waste. In Australia, a person discharges a ton of garbage per one year. That is to say, a person takes out three kilograms garbage everyday. The garbage come from people’s home, Building sites, Council waste, and Business. The percentage is 43 percent from people’s home, 16 percent from Building sites, 5 percent from Council waste, 36 percent from Business. In the most big cities, the garbage is sent to transfer stations by the trucks. The garbage is distinguished three types. One is the garbage which can burn out. Second is the garbage which is sent to landfills. Third is the garbage which can be recycled. Recently, people think it is important to recycle for the earth. Because to burn out the garbage bring high temperatures, and the place for landfills are smaller year by year. So, people often use the bags called eco bag now in Japan.

BR#9 "Clothes Then and New"

Sometimes, our clothes tell other people something about us, such as the work we do or what religion we are or more things. First, people made clothes from animal skins on ancient times. They wore clothes to keep them warm. Over time, People learned to make fabrics from natural materials. People made fabrics from wool, cotton, or silk. Wools are made from sheep, cotton are made from cotton plants, and silk are made from silkworms. Today, clothes are made from natural and synthetic materials. Synthetic are light and strong.
I also love clothes. Especially, I have some money which I earned by a part time job, so I bought some clothes recently. I love one-piece dress. So, I bought one-piece dress or skirt these days.

BR#8 "Twins"

The name of twin came from ancient Greek “twine.” There are three type of twins, identical twins, fraternal twins, and conjoined twins. Identical twins have same DNA. This is made up of dividing single egg in the mother’s womb. So, almost twins look like each other. But, some of twins don’t look like. For example, one had curly hair and the other has straight, or one may be light hand and the other may be right hand. Fraternal twins don’t have same DNA. Two eggs grow up in the mother’s womb. This is occurred one per 125 couple of twins. Conjoined twins are joined together at a part of their bodies. This type is rare case. The famous twins are Chang and Eng Bunker. They was born in1811 in Thailand. The conjoined twins were sometimes called “Simese twins.” This is occurred one per 200 couple of identical twins.
There are twins near me. Almost the couple of twins who I met looks like each other. But, they don’t take after the character. So, I think it is very difficult to take after the character.

BR#7 "The Story of Cars"

For hundreds of years, people carried things by to push or pull. As early as the 1400s, an Italian inventor Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a vehicle that was driven by clock work. Another Italian made a wind-powered tricycle, but this didn’t succeed. People had to wait 400 more years. In the 1700s, steam engines were invented. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot tried using one to power a cart. Thirty years later, Richard Trevithick had an idea that it used a steam engine to pull a wagon along iron track. This idea became the train. His friend, Sir Goldsworthy Gurney designed a steam passenger coach that didn’t need tracks. In 1886, German engineer Karl Benz designed and built the first petrol-driven vehicle. It had three wheels, one seat and a small engine at the back. Then, many people improved the cars. Now, engineers are inventing cars that won’t pollute the air. They might run on energy from sun or give off water instead of nasty fumes. And, the cars used electricity are sold. The cars were formed by the power of many people for the long time.
