Survival in the Andes

On Friday, Oct 13, 1972, there was a small plane flying from Uruguay to Chile with 45 people on airplane and crashed into a mountain  in the Andes. Thirteen people died on this trip. The people who is still live were dressed any clothes and it couldn't take care them of wither because it was so cold. The survivors wanted to find a solve to escape before others died. Three of the passengers to travel through the mountains to search to help. The survivors used some of stuff like clothes of people who died and debris of airplane. For first day, they try to made something to use it for climbing and no one have experience, by the second day, they couldn't get the top of mountain, so the wither were exhausted and cold while they are walking the wither are changing to become better than before they could see the valley, flowers, and some animal. On Dec 19, they had been walking for eight days. In the end, all of the men who are traveling through mountains still living.

I think the men who are in this story did well to stay live. The debris help them also to take care them for long time even walking to the end and they are smart because they are thinking what they should do before they leave form debris place.

I learn more words from this story

debris
exhausted

The World's Favorite Drug

The World's Favorite Drug

         In the world, there are many kinds of energy as we eat or drink to make us feel better when we need it. The power to counter physical fatigue and increase alertness is part of the reason caffeine ranks. A scientist found the caffeine in sodas, energy drinks, coffee, tea, and chocolate. Most of scientist discover the people around the world are creating entire rituals around the use of caffeine in different places. One of scientists believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep because it is going to stay awake and it is unhealthy for our physically, mentally, or emotionally. Our bodies sometime need to caffeine, so we use it in the morning or while we study because it has benefits to our minds and bodies and makes us feel better.

          In general opinion, the caffeine is not dangerous. However, if people are using a caffeine less than we are thinking about caffeine was dangerous. Drinking a caffeine for each day that has good for body and has taking benefits of it. 

          I think that caffeine is good for our bodies as some scientists said because sometime we got a headache and we should drink caffeine if the headache comes from our work or study, so it is going to be a good solution for that situation.

The new words as I learned are counter, alertness, rituals, emotionally, and fatigue.

Rhino Killings Soar for "Healing" Horn

Rhino Killings Soar for "Healing" Horn

        Giang is a young woman from Vietnam. She has a gift from her father and was horn. Rhino are made of keratin. For long time, people have believed that rhino horn can heal. Now rhino horn is rumored to cure cancer.

The demand for rhino horn is very expensive in Vietnam. A poacher is someone who hunts illegally on someone else's land.

Rhino poachers are active in South Africa. They have way to catch rhino horns. Most of rhino horns die and the others rhino still live and can growt their horns back in two years. Officials have tried to stop poachers, but poachers kill the rhinos anyway for take their nubs.

In the 1970s, rhinos were almost extinct. But now, illegal rhino killings are soaring and increased more than before.

I disagree with that people are killing rhinos to get their horns. If we don't stop them by killing rhino horns that 

is going to be a huge problem I mean is going to extinct.

New word

  - Extinct

  - poacher

  - nubs
