A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a
great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and
loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people
are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or
streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are
caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief
can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the
surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If,
however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the
banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical
storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high
speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept
away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and
uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to
help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket
brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from
the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to
be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on
where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might
burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled.

book, ruler and such other stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era,
students need more to reach their progressive development. Students need mobile
keyboards to record every presented subject easily. Of course, it will need
more cost but it will deserve for its function.
First,
modern schools tend to apply fast transferring knowledge because the school
needs to catch the target of the curriculum. Every subject will tend to be
given in demonstrative method. Consequently, students need extra media cover
the subject. Since there is a laptop on every student’s desk, this method will
help a student to get a better understanding.

finding an appropriate laptop is not difficult as it was. Recently there is an
online shop which provides comprehensive information. The best is that the shop

That is really easy and save time and money.

WHY BOOKS
ARE IMPORTANT FOR US?
A wise man once said, “learning without book mean nothing.’
In my opinion this statement is true. Why do I say that? This is for several
reasons.
Firstly,
books are important because they develop the minds of people who read them.
Even if you don’t agree with what an author has done in a book, you can at
least have formed your own ideas on what would have been better. This leads to
critical thinking skills. These critical thinking skills are a necessity for
the development of cultures.
Secondly,
book contains so much more than just the story. They record facts. They review
history. Books are the documentations of themes that relate to everyone. You
can even learn about a period in history just looking at what books were
popular and published during that time. For instance, the classic tales of two
cities by Charles dickens is set in the French revolution era.
The last thing
I’ll say is that books are essential to life because they do not only carry
knowledge, but they also entertain us. They entertain us with stories ranging
from mystery and drama to comedy, adventures and autobiographies. In other
word, you can read book about anything. These possibilities are limitless and
that is one of the many lessons you can learn from reading books.
Based on the reason listed above, it is obvious that books have a great influence in our
lives. Without book we may learn nothing.

The white pelican is
one of the most successful fish eating birds. The success is largely due
to its command hunting behaviour. A group, perhaps two dozens birds, will
gather in a curved are some distance offshore, beating the water furiously with
their wings, driving the fish before them.
