Speaking : The World in 10 Years

In 10 years from now, the world will be change. For example, a desertification will advance in Africa or Central Asia. Antarctic ice and Arctic ice will melt because of global warming. Due to global warming, islands in the Pacific will sink in the sea. The expansion of industry bring about acid rain, especially, in developing nation. In developing country, automobile society causes an air pollution. It'll be more serious than now.
Technology will advance more. A car will fly in the sky, and travel anywhere in 10 years. I think it is very convenience for us. Things may exploit that we can't imagine. Human beings are wonderful, I think.
Culture will produce new culture one after another.
Now, deforestation goes wrong. Nature is destroyed, and globe will break down. So, we shuld forest in the bare mountains.

A feeling of Jojo's story

Reading this story, I felt heavy and sad. Jojo was playing in the fields when soldiers come and kill everyone in his village. Jojo buried his family, and experienced new encounter and parting. With the help of Chris, a British journalist, and his memories, Jojo struggled to come to terms with the loss of his family and friends. All things that he experienced were bitter, I think. If I were in his place, I could not live alone. So, I respect him. I think he has a strong mind.
Jojo who grew up in a small village gradually began to understand the world of outside. As a result, he began to decide his own way. Since I grew up in peaceful Japan, I can't imagine how he should live his own way. However, thanks to encounter of Chris, Jojo was encouraged, I think. For living, when Jojo arrived at another village, he knew. There are house which live children who don't have parentes. He'll shocked like this situation because children were hurted. I think human beings are cruel.
