Yesterday, my parents and I went to see Avatar. It's set on a planet called Pandora with natives called Navies, a blue man-like being with the power to connect with nature. This movie tells us that every thing alive in the world, has connection with others. It's a very good movie, great story and great animations. Directed by James Cameron. Director of Titanic, Terminator, True Lies, Terminator II and Aliens.

1. List the main reasons for water scarcity.
Because some people lives in hot desserts which has very low rainfall. Other reasons are variations in climate, land degradation, population growth and water pollution
2. What is a drought? What type of hardships do you think that a drought could cause if you were living in a village in a poor country such as Ethiopia?
A drought is a period of below average precipitation.
3. How does land degradation affect the supply of fresh water?
It reduces the soil to store water.
4.
a) What is El Nino?
Wind that happens in 4 or 5 years
b) Why does El Nino often cause drought in australia?
El Nino makes air masses making Australia getting drought.
5. Observe the map showing the global effects of El Nino in 1982 - 83
a) What effects does El Nino have on the availability of fresh water?
b) Name the countries and describe the problems that arose from decreased rainfall caused by El Nino.
Peru:Flooding. Colombia: Not getting fish. Australia: Wheat exports threatened. Papua New Guinea: Drought. Indonesia: Air Pollution causing fire. China: Drought in the north and flooding at the south. Philippines: Lower rice harvest. Africa: Reduced corn harcesting. US: More Rainfall.

Bintaro Kompung
As I took the video for the route, Mr. Hughes talked to us about the river. As we got of the bus we were welcomed by he people of Watsun. They did a little speech then we headed of to station 1 with our guild.
Station one is about FILTRATION, there is a blue bucket, one of those tall and round ones, in the bucket there is sand, gravel and stones, they use the pump to pump up water from the ground then a pipe leads the water to the filter, after the water goes down the filter it will be safe to shower and cook with but NO DRINKING!
As we finished up with some questions we moved to station three, UNINFECTION. The host cleaned the big size Aqua water bottle until germ free and then we fill it up until there is not space or air bubbles in side. Then we put it under the sun for more than 7 hours, and now it is save to drink.
After all this stations how do you test the water? This job is for station 5, we tested how clear the water is with a tube with numbers and a "X" under the tube. The smallest number the tube but is the highest number is 5 and the biggest number but the lowest on the tube is 500. The way you test it is to pour water until the water reaches 5 then you look through the tube on the top to see if you can see the cross, if not pour some out until you can see the cross. The smaller the number the better. To test the pH of the water they have a little orange machine that looks like a thermometer, the pH scale is between 1 to 14, the best is 7 if too low is acid too high its alkaline.
After the 3 stations the kids sang a song to us. A short and cute song about washing your hand.
I felt this is a super-ichy-fun-tiring trip, I loved it.

***************
Vampires, love and high school, when you here this word you can't really connect them together, but this is what Stephenie Meyer did. She wrote so well that I gave this book a 15 star rate. As you found out in the beginning this book is about vampires, but it is not scary. A girl fell in love with a vampire, the vampire told her the secret, and this is what is book is all about.My favorite part is where Stephenie was describing the Cullens. The factual expression, the look and what they were doing. she did a pretty good job on that.
