BR 2-06: Getting together


“Families around the world get together to share things and to take care of each other.”



This time, I’m going to introduce everybody this book about family around the world. A lot of families are made up of the parents and one or two children and living in the same house in recent years. This kind of family is called a nuclear family and small family. In some countries like the USA, Australia and Japan, there are many nuclear families. In some countries, two or more families who are related live together and make one very big family and it is called extended families, it’s big families. In India, many families are extended families. Grandparents, parents and children live together in one house. When couples marry in India, the woman has to live with man’s family and she becomes a part of his family as an Indian custom. When she gives birth to children, they also become a part of a big family. In Inuit, people usually live in small nuclear family groups. Because Inuit people move around a lot to look for food, and small nuclear family groups are easy Because Inuit people move around a lot to look for food, and small nuclear family groups are easy to move around. Inuit people get together in their extended family groups to share foods and to take care of their children and teach about Inuit culture. So, their extended family is very important for them. Most Australian Aboriginal people have been lived in big extended families. Everyone share things and take care of the children. For hundreds of years, most families were big extended families in China. Two or more related families lived together and worked together on the land. Today, most families are much smaller nuclear families and most families have only one child because China is a very crowded country. Is your family a nuclear family or extended family? My family is a nuclear family. After I read this book, I thought that Indian families were very terrible. Because woman has to live with the man’s family and become a part of his family. I will surely to be harded on me from my mother-in-low. Do you want to live with your partner’s family in the future? I can’t surely to live with my partner’s family because I will be afraid of my mother-in-low. Thank you for reading!

BR 2-05: A Plastic World


“People need to look at what they do with plastic so that they keep the environment safe.” ‘(P.14)

 

This time, I’m going to introduce everybody this book about plastic. An ancient period, there were only two of these materials were wood and metal. Foe years, people had been needed from materials they found in the world around them. And Alexander Parkes invented plastic in1862, and the world began to extensive change. Today, all kinds of things are made of plastic and people are living with plastic now. It is essential for our everyday life now if it isn’t exist plastic. Millions of plastic containers are used bottles and bags every day. Some people think that plastic has been good for the world, but some people think that it has been bad. At the first, I’m going to introduce everybody good points about plastic. On is cheap, other is light and the other is soft. A lot of things made from plastic and cheap. Plastic is light and soft and can be made into different shapes. Consequently, plastic is often used in most toys because it’s safe if children play with toys made from plastic. Next, I’m going to introduce everybody bad points about plastic. Don’t you think of that plastic has bad points so much? But to tell the truth, plastic has the sause that cause great environmental pollution. When plastic is being madeit sends gases into the air. Then these gases can be bad for people and the environment. Plastic bags are kind of bad for the environment. Do you often see a lot of dumped plastic bags on the roads, embankments, rivers and watercourses? Plastic is too bad when it becomes rubbish. Because plastic is a lot of ends up in landfills and the world is running out of land for landfills now. Plants that glow in the soil die. And some plastic rubbish goes into the sea and animals live in the sea trap in the plastic rubbish and die. Plastic helps people in lots of ways every day, but it has great bad points for the environment. I haven’t ever discovered that plastic has good points but plastic has a lot of bad points for the environment and living things. People have to look at the ideal about plastic and everybody needs to do to stop so much plastic going into rubbish and recycle.

They look for tiny bits of gold in the bottom of the pans. It’s a very boundless work. And the family hadn’t found any gold, they were always hungry. Then, the four children helped looking for gold. It was cold in the river, and the children soon got tired. It was a really hard work. But at at that time, the father shouted and found gold for the first time. Everyone ran to see and were all very happy. The children and the family went to town to sell the gold.
