My Football Experience
When I was in junior high school, I really loved
football. Every Saturday afternoon I practised in
school field with my team and my coach. They were
strong and smart players. My coach, Mr Wasito was
a kind person. But, while he was coaching us, he was
very discipline. He would grounded anyone who
came late and not obeyed the team’s rules.
With Mr Wasito, our team won many tournament
in many big cities. Our team named after our school,
Raji Team (from MTs Raji) and we had many fans too,
you know. Ohh, that was so cool. Now, I still love
football and have a team too. But, my parents warn
me to pay attention more to my study, football just for
hobby.

My
Memorable Holiday
I want to tell you
about my memorable time in Singapore. It was one of the best holdays I
ever had.
I will never forget the spectacular view of the city I saw from Mount Fable
that night. The roller coaster ride and the stunts performed by dolphins and a
killer whale at Sea World were also exciting. I will remember the thrill of
having been on one of the longest rides in the monorail in Sentosa Island for
many years to come. I also enjoyed various seafood at the Makeshift
roadside stalls at the Chinatown night market.
I also enjoyed the shopping trips. My family and friends agreed that the
souvenirs were value for money, especially the silk scarves with pretty pattern
and the attractive key chains.

Great Moment on Lawu
Last weekend, my friends and I went camping in the mountain Lawu. We reached
the camping ground as we walked for about a half hour from the parking lot. We
built the camp next to the rocks and trees. It was getting dark and cold
enveloped us, so we built a bonfire. The next day, we spent our time observing
plantation and insects while the girls were preparing food for lunch together.
In the afternoon we went to the river and catch a fish for dinner. At night, we
held a bonfire night. We sing, dance, read poetry, comedy, having fun, playing
magic tricks, and even some of us do stand up comedy and highly entertaining us
all to laugh. On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home,

A
natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an
earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money.
The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical
care.
Floods
occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour
onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often
heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy
storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb
the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky,
heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow
and flood adjacent lowland.In many part of the world flood are caused by
tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of
high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the
destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are
sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track
blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When
a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before
the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing
side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river.
They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The
damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country
or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities,
fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.

Haze
is traditionally an atmospheric phenomenon where dust, smoke and other
dry particles obscure the clarity of the sky. The World Meteorological Organization manual of codes includes a
classification of horizontal obscuration into categories of fog, ice fog, steam fog, mist, haze, smoke, volcanic ash, dust, sand and snow.[1] Sources for haze particles include
farming (ploughing in dry weather), traffic, industry, and wildfires.
Seen
from a far (e.g. approaching airplane) and depending upon the direction of view
with respect to the sun, haze may appear brownish or bluish, while mist tends
to be bluish-grey. Whereas haze often is thought of as a phenomenon of dry air,
mist formation is a phenomenon of humid air. However, haze particles may act as
condensation nuclei for the subsequent formation of mist droplets; such forms
of haze are known as "wet haze."
The
term "haze", in meteorological literature, generally is used to
denote visibility-reducing aerosols of the wet type. Such aerosols commonly
arise from complex chemical reactions that occur as sulfur
dioxide gases
emitted during combustion are converted into small droplets of sulphuric acid.
The reactions are enhanced in the presence of sunlight, high relative humidity,
and stagnant air flow. A small component of wet haze aerosols appear to be
derived from compounds released by trees, such as terpenes. For all these reasons, wet haze tends to be
primarily a warm-season phenomenon. Large areas of haze covering many thousands
of kilometers may be produced under favorable conditions each summer.

A
wildfire or wildland fire is a fire in an area of combustible vegetation that
occurs in the countryside or rural area.[1] Depending on the type of vegetation where it occurs, a wildfire can
also be classified more specifically as a brush fire, bush fire, desert fire,
forest fire, grass fire, hill fire, peat fire, vegetation fire, or veld fire.[2] Fossil charcoal indicates that wildfires began soon after the
appearance of terrestrial plants 420 million years ago.[3] Wildfire’s occurrence throughout the history of terrestrial life
invites conjecture that fire must have had pronounced evolutionary effects on
most ecosystems' flora and fauna.[4] Earth is an intrinsically flammable planet owing to its cover of
carbon-rich vegetation, seasonally dry climates, atmospheric oxygen, and
widespread lightning and volcano ignitions.[4]
Wildfires
can be characterized in terms of the cause of ignition, their physical
properties, the combustible material present, and the effect of weather on the
fire.[5] Wildfires can cause damage to property and human life, but they
have many beneficial effects on native vegetation, animals, and ecosystems that
have evolved with fire.[6][7] Many plant species depend on the effects of fire for growth and
reproduction.[8] However, wildfire in ecosystems where wildfire is uncommon or where
non-native vegetation has encroached may have negative ecological effects.[5] Wildfire behaviour and severity result from the combination of
factors such as available fuels, physical setting, and weather.[9][10][11] Analyses of historical meteorological data and
national fire records in western North America show the primacy of climate in
driving large regional fires via wet periods that create substantial fuels or
drought and warming that extend conducive fire weather.[12]
Strategies
of wildfire prevention, detection, and suppression have varied over the years.[13] One common and inexpensive technique is controlled
burning: permitting
or even igniting smaller fires to minimize the amount of flammable material
available for a potential wildfire.[14][15] Vegetation may be burned periodically to
maintain high species diversity and frequent burning of surface fuels limits
fuel accumulation.[16][17] Wildland fire use is the cheapest and most
ecologically appropriate policy for many forests.[18] Fuels may also be removed by logging, but
fuels treatments and thinning have no effect on severe fire behavior.[19] Wildfire itself is reportedly "the most
effective treatment for reducing a fire's rate of spread, fireline intensity,
flame length, and heat per unit of area" according to Jan Van Wagtendonk,
a biologist at the Yellowstone Field Station.[20] Building codes in fire-prone areas typically
require that structures be built of flame-resistant materials and a defensible space be maintained by clearing flammable
materials within a prescribed distance from the structure.[21][22]
Soil
erosion is the displacement of upper layer of soil. one form of soil
degradation. The erosion of soil is a naturally occurring process on all
land. The agents of soil erosion are water and wind, each contributing a
significant amount of soil loss each year. Soil erosion may be a slow process
that continues relatively unnoticed, or it may occur at an alarming rate
causing a serious loss of topsoil. The loss of soil from farmland may be
reflected in reduced crop production potential, lower surface water quality and
damaged drainage networks.
While
erosion is a natural process, human activities have increased by 10–40 times
the rate at which erosion is occurring globally. Excessive (or accelerated)
erosion causes both "on-site" and "off-site" problems.
On-site impacts include decreases in agricultural productivity and (on natural
landscapes) ecological collapse, both because of loss of the nutrient-rich
upper soil layers. In some cases, the eventual end result
is desertification. Off-site effects include sedimentation of waterways and eutrophication of water bodies, as well as
sediment-related damage to roads and houses. Water and wind erosion are the two
primary causes of land
degradation; combined,
they are responsible for about 84% of the global extent of degraded land,
making excessive erosion one of the most significant environmental problems worldwide.[1][2]
Intensive agriculture, deforestation, roads, anthropogenic climate
change and urban
sprawl are
amongst the most significant human activities in regard to their effect on
stimulating erosion.[3] However, there are many prevention and remediation practices that can curtail or limit
erosion of vulnerable soils.
Drought
is a state of shortage of water supply in an area in which a prolonged period
(several months to years). These events typically occur if a region is
continuously subjected to rainfall below average. Prolonged drought will cause
drought because groundwater reserves will be depleted by evaporation
(evaporation), transpiration, or other uses by humans.
Drought
can be a natural disaster when it causes a region decreases its sources
of income due to disruption in agriculture and ecosystems caused. Economic and
ecological impact of the drought is a process that drought restrictions in each
field may vary. However, a brief but intense droughts can also cause
significant damage.
The
UN calculates that every year an area of fertile land territory of Ukraine is
lost due to drought, deforestation, and climate irregularity.]
A
result that can be caused by drought in demographics are mass migration, as
happened in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel.
Haze
/ smog, an adaptation of the English term smog (smoke and fog), is a case of
severe air pollution that can occur days to months.
Under
the weather conditions that prevented the circulation of air, smog can cover an
area in a long time, as is the case in London, Los Angeles, Athens, Beijing,
Hong Kong or the Ruhr Area and continues to accumulate and lead to harm.
The
word "smog" is an abbreviation of "smoke" and
"fog", although the subsequent development of smog do not have to
have one component of fog or smoke. Smog is also often associated with air
pollution.
The
term "smog" was first proposed by Dr. Henry Antoine Des Voeux in 1950
in his scientific work "Fog and Smoke" in a meeting at the Public
Health Congress. On 26 July 2005, the London newspaper, the Daily Graphic quoted
the terms "[H] e said it required no science to see that there was
something produced in great Cities which was not found in the country, and that
was smoky fog, or what was known as 'smog.' "(Dr. Henry Antoine Des Voeux
states that are not needed scientific knowledge whatsoever to detect the
presence of something that has been produced in a big city but is not found in
the township, the" smoky fog "(haze is smoke), or also called smog
(smog).). The next day the newspaper back proclaiming "Dr. Des Voeux did a
public service in coining a new word for the London fog "(Dr. Des Voeux
stints community service by introducing new terms, smog).
Source
There
are two major types of smog. Photochemical smog, as is the case in Los Angeles,
and smog Industries such as in London.
photochemical
smog
The
main cause of photochemical smog is the pollutant nitrogen oxides and
hydrocarbons. Nitrogen oxides come from vehicles while the hydrocarbons derived
from various sources. Both the pollution substances undergo photochemical
reactions to form ozone
Industrial
smog
Smog
is going on in London after the industrial revolution which resulted in massive
pollution from burning coal. This combustion produces a mixture of smoke and
sulfur dioxide.
The
volcano also caused an abundance of sulfur dioxide in the air, producing
volcanic smog, or vog (vulcanic smog, volcanic smog).

Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old centre, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot. You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the Traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges. Adapted from: http://www.wikipedia.com19

Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and the major waterfall on the Zambezi River in Africa. It is famous for being the largest waterfall in the world in the wet season.
