There are so many weak and homeless men.They move around the government officials.They don't have enough money,they need get free food.The government is ruthless.They don't want to save these people's lives,so the government only gives them little food.The food even can't make one person full .everyone use disappointed eyes to look at the government officials.

The only surviving person

  In March 2011 ,there was a big earthquake in northern Japan .Many people and houses were destroyed by the earthquake and lots of people had been dispkaced .There was ragged women called Yui Hatano. cShe losed her family and felt lonely .She sat in the ruins .The tall buildings were collapsed everywhere .She looked everything in sight and leaved tears.I thought she was pitiful and it made us understand this world's fine it'never long enough that only tears rain kept falling.




 

      A devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Natori , northern Japan on March 2011 . Everything there was distoried . There is a homeless girl who is crying very sadly . She sits on the ground among the wreckage of her town . She can't find her beautiful house or her kind family mumbers . She is helpless now.

A young woman wearing black coat with short brown hair is setting by the ruin of her house crying. There was an earthquake last night. When she woke up by a big noise from the chandelier falling on the floor. She was terrified because her son is still in another room. She can hear her son crying. she was running to her son but the house stared disassembling, the roof started falling on the floor and blocked the way to the room where her baby is. She started screaming, but is doesn't work. Her Her neighbour came in and dragged her out of her house.

It is a reality, so we need to  make a change, what are you waiting for? Join up with the good people in the world. We are all one.

Picture assignment- Friday, September 25

This activity is based on the New York Times learning blog:

You will find three pictures on the internet. Here are a few useful sites but you may search in different sites.  Make sure that you copy and paste the photos to a new document and save on your desktop.

 After looking closely at the images, think about these three questions:

• What is going on in this picture?
• What do you see that makes you say that?
• What more can you find?

Start a new page in your notebook.  Write at least a paragraph for each picture 6-8 sentences. You are welcome to write a longer story than just one paragraph. Please use the thesaurus and do not use any kind of translation device.  After you've done a rough copy in your notebook,  have a teacher check and initial. Then pick your favourite picture and story and post to this blog.  I am looking for descriptive writing, powerful verbs and imagination!
