BR1-10: The Antarctic Treaty

First of all, I will tell you about Antarctica where is the fifth－largest continent on Earth. It is also the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. It is an ice－covered place where no large plants grow, and no land mammals, reptiles or amphibians live. Antarctica does not belong to one country, and it has no government. People visit Antarctica－usually as tourists, or to do scientific reseach－but no one lives these all the time.

Next, I will talk about treaty. As so many nations had made a claim to territory in Antrarctica, it was clear that figfting might break out. Diplomats from different countries wanted to stop a war from starting, so they began talking about a treaty for Antarctica. A treaty is a written agreement signed by two or more nations. In 1959, 12 nations signed the Antarcticic Treaty. The nations were Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The treaty came into force in 1961.

Using computer

I don’t like using computer, because it is so complicated system and difficult. I increased the time that I use computer since I entered a university. For example, write a paper, write a blog and operation of computer in writing class, but these operation are not easy to me, so I often get confused about these operation. However, I feel that I am progressing with my computer skills, and then I will try them hard. Contrary to these sides, I also use useful sides of computer, facebook, skype, for example. These can communicate with foreign people, so I often use them.

My favorite movies

I have three favorite movies, “Love song to angel”, “Postman to heaven” and “Harry Potter”. First of all, “love song to angel” was screened in 1992. This movie is very interesting, because sisters sing arranged hymns in church. I like these songs very much. Second, “Postman to heaven” is collaboration of Korea and Japan. This movie was written by Eriko Kitagawa, and she is my favorite playwright. Her works are very warm, so I would like to see this movie. Finally, I talk about “Harry Potter”. It is known to all over the world. I have been seen this series in movie theater when I was pupil.

BR1-09: The Green Belt Movement

Do you know the green belt movement? This movement is a community-based group in Kenya. It was set up to help protect the environment, mainly through planting trees. Over the past 40 to 50 years, large numbers of trees have been chopped down in Kenya. Most of them have never been replaced. The green belt movement aims to grow trees from seeds, and plant them on farms and other open spaces where they are needed. The green belt movement was started in 1997 by Wangari Maatai. She was the head of the veterinary department at Nairobi University, but she was also interested in community and environment. In 2004, she won the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a very important prize given to one person each year that has done something outstanding for world peace. Giving the prize to Wangari showed that peace doesn't just mean stopping wars. It can also mean making the world a better place to live in. The green belt movement has done so well in Kenya because many people have joined in and worked hard to improve their environment and lives. However, if it had not been for the ideas and the drive of just one woman Wangari Maagari who is none of this many have happened.
