IT’S TIME (TO LEARN ABOUT TIME)

     What is time? Is it always the same? It goes slowly when we’re bored and fast when we’re having fun. Many older people feel that years go very quickly for them. Time is different for each of us.

When I have a fun, the time goes fast, and when I feel boring, the time goes slowly, especially in lectures time.If I watch the clock again and again, the clock does not work. I want to learn Time.

Centuries ago, it was not important to know the right time. Many people were farmers, and they do not have to know the right time. The thing  they want to know was weather. I feel that that is little bit different from now.

There are Time Zones in the earth. If you want to go back to yesterday, you could do that by traveling the four kilometers from Russia to USA. You can enjoy Christmas two times!

After all, I do not understand what time is, but it gives me a lot of experience.

DRINK UP!

     There are some unusual drinks in popular stories. In Romania, there is a story about a vampire, Dracula. He drank blood from young woman! Today, Tru Blood is a popular drink in the United States. But don’t worry. It is not really blood—it is only a soda!

Same as before, I read this series of not story. This time, I learn a importance of water. It is 60 percent of our bodies and 70 percent of our brains. We need about eight glasses of water every day. I have always drunk three or four glasses. I have to drink more! By the way, Do you know how much of a tomato is water? The answer is 93 percent! Alomost water! The proportion is same with rain. I think that we perhaps eat rain.

In USA or UK, the people often give chicken soup to sick people. Soup is very good for your body. You can get both of water and nutrition.Especially, garlic soup is better more than any soups for people who is getting colds. In stories, garlic stops vampires, too. If we some garlic soup, can vampires drink our blood?

CROCS AND GATORS

     What do you think? How do you feel about Crocs and Gators?

Do you know the story and movie, Peter Pan? A crocodile eats a clock. The clock stays in its body and makes a noise: tick, tick, tick. The crocodile wants to eat a man called Captain Hook. When Hook hears the noise, he knows the crocodiles is near. He runs away. He really doesn’t like crocodiles. (p.20)

I should read a story as usually, but this time this book inspired me in the library. This book taught me what is “crocs and gators”. Crocs mean crocodiles, and gators mean alligators. I don’t know it.

Then, what are different points between crocs and gators? First, their head are not same. The crocodile’s head is shaper and longer more than alligators. Second, the color is not same. Crocodiles are usually gray and green and alligators are black. Third, The habitats are not same. Alligators live in USA and China. But Crocodiles are all over the world. As these points I said, Crocodiles and Alligators are little bit different.

In addition to that, American people sometimes say, “See you later, alligator!” It is just joking, but alligator is close for American people because they live in same continent. I think that such the relation makes the joking.

I like such these explaining Books and will read such kind of book next.
