BR : 10 All about desert life

     This week I read All about desert Life, an Oxford read and discover. Of course, this book explains all about desert. Before I read this book, I thought it was natural that desert was very hot. But according to this book, there are some cool desert in the world. If I have a chance to go to desert, I want to go such a place.

     There are many kinds of plants in desert. A cactus is one of these plants. As you know, this plant has lots of spikes. It is so sharp that you get hurt if you touch them. I was very surprised to know that these spikes stored rain water because it is tiny and don't form like a sponge. I think since they live in such a dry place, they improve their leaves and utilize their spikes.

BR : 09 Machines then and now

     Last week I read Machines then and now, an Oxford read and discover book. Of course, it is written about machines. This book shows a transformation of machines from ancient to today.


    What I was most surprised is some modern televisions can be almost as thin as paper. Present television is very thick as though a cube. I think this advance was made by all engineer's effort. They're developing new technology everyday. Therefore, I think we have to thank to these people who provide us comfortable life.


     Recently technology has been progressed. These improvement will be continue.

BR : 08 Race into Space

    This week I read Race into space. It is written about the history of race into space and historical incidents about space to date. 


     Nowadays, all people in the world believe that the Earth goes around the sun system. It is natural to think so, because it's based on logical theory. But long years ago, lots of people believed that the sun went around our Earth. I think our ancestor was enough clever to discover the new theory.


     In the future, technology must be advanced. Perhaps, some people could be living in the moon. I'm looking forward to being able to visit moon.
