The word “Tsunami” itself originates from Japan, which means big waves
(Tsu: ports and Nami: wave). Definition Adapts that agree much about
tsunamis are natural disasters caused by rising sea waves to land at high speed
due to earthquakes centered under the sea. The quake might have been caused
by a landslide, earth plates shifted, volcanoes erupted and meteors fell in the
ocean. This usually happens when a tsunami with a magnitude greater than 7
on the Richter scale. Tsunamis are quite dangerous, especially for those who
live in the Coastal Environment. With great strength, he will sweep what is
spent.

If we talk about the process of talking about the tsunami, then of course we
have to start from the cause, which is the earthquake zone at sea. Tsunamis
always start the great movements that we usually call earthquakes. Although there
are several types of earthquakes, but 90% of tsunamis are caused by the movement of
plates in the bowels of the Earth that are moved there in the ocean. However, it must
also be returned, history has never been recorded by tsunamis thinking about the
eruption of Krakatoa.

Earthquakes that occur in the bowels of the Earth will experience increased pressure in
the vertical direction so that the ocean floor will rise and fall in a short span of time. This
will then discuss the imbalance in sea water which is then transferred into large waves
that move the land area.

With great force on the airwaves, it is fair that buildings on the Mainland can be swept
away easily. This tsunami wave propagates with unimaginable speed. He can reach 500
to 1000 kilometers per hour at sea. And when it reaches the shore, its speed decreases to
50 to 30 kilometers per hour. Although reduced quickly, but the move can cause severe
damage to humans.
If we start the tsunami process, of course we know there is no human intervention in it.

Therefore, we have no control to prevent this cause. However, with maximum vigilance
and preparation, we can resolve the tsunami itself. A good example of having tried
Japan. Even though it is prone to tsunamis, public awareness can overcome the number
of victims caused by disasters.

“Love You Like a Love Song” is single from one of Disney’s shining stars, Selena Gomez.
The youngs who love this young singer/actress will like this song.

Gomez isn’t known for having a super-strong voice or the most original arrangements, but
she deserves props for this song, which mercifully tones down the standard synth-pop
noise and kicks the vocal performance up a notch.

The end result sounds a bit more creative and mature than the rest of the bubblegum-pop
pack. Selena’s music is always great, and her voice sounds great especially in the bridge.

In the past century people seem to believe that a love song for pop has to be acoustic with
guitars, and love songs for Rap/Hip-Hop have to sound the same.

This doesn’t seem to bother Rihanna, Lady GaGa, and now Selena Gomez. To be honest in
the past century “Love You Like A Love Song” has been the most original love song in years.

Monotune was perfectly done here, and the Autotune was good layered, Autotune is not just
robotic Beyonce and Rihanna use it to.

Must original love song and just song in years. Its about loving someone like a love song its
gonna use love song cliches.

He took him to a policeman and said, “I have just found this penguin. What should I
do?” The policeman replied, “take him to the zoo”.

The next day the policeman saw the same man in the same park and the man still
carrying the penguin with him. The policeman was rather supriseed and walked up to
the man and asked “why are you still carrying that penguin about? Didn’t you take it to
the zoo?”

“I certainly did” replied the man. “And it was a great idea because he really enjoyed it,
so today I am taking him to the moviest, and the next day I’ll take it to the beach. It’ll be
so much fun” said the man.

“Owh my God. You are so stupid. I asked you to take the penguin and give it to the zoo.
I didn’t ask to take it to the zoo and had fun there with it.” policemen said.

Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot
of road deaths and other accidents.

Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world. Cars emit a
deadly gas that causes illnesses such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ of
asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.

Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest
killers.

Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night,
or concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.

In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reasons listed.

Internet has helped many people in all elements of life that the internet has contributed
fully in social life. With internet, we can do anything, both the positive and negative
things. As a medium of communication, internet can be used to communicate with other
users worldwide.

Internet presence provides positive benefits for the world of information, but it also has
many negative influences. Many students gain knowledge with the help of internet. In
fact, school assignments are now noticeably easier to find on the internet. It is
undeniable that internet gives effect to students. There is a positive effect, but there is
also a negative influence of internet. It is just like a coin with two sides, depending on
how we deal with it.

Many positive benefits that can be obtained by students from the internet if it is used
wisely. However, there are also negative effects caused by internet. Here are some of
the negative influences of the internet. Some news, both television and newspapers
spread their child abduction or runaway cases of minors who are started from friendship
or social networking sites on the internet. The nature of a child who easily trusts anyone
allows that to happen.

Pornography is the negative influence of other internet. Not only adults who visit
forbidden sites, but many students are considered frequent visitors to sites that contain
pornographic images or stories. This of course is a very unfortunate situation. Addiction
to online games that hit the students is also a negative influence of the internet.
Addiction and dependency can make the students run out of time and energy to play.
As a result, students’ achievement will decrease.
To counteract the negative effects of internet on the students, there are some things
that must be done. One of them is parents have to always accompany their children
when they’re accessing the internet. This is to ensure that children have access to the
right site. Do not let children engrossed in playing internet, while the parents do not
know the whereabouts of the children. If the internet facility is available at home, place
the facility in a shared room. This is to facilitate parents supervising the children. If you
have to use the facilities at the internet cafe, help the children to choose the “healthy”
cafe. It would be wise, if you know the owner and the clerk there. This is to make it
easier to supervise the children. The last, give the children a good understanding about
the positive and negative effects of the Internet for them. Thus, you are already
complete with castle defense.

It is hoped all parties, including parents, teachers, government and students jointly
prevent negative impacts arising from the internet. The government is expected to block
sites that are not good. Parents are also expected to pay more attention to their children
so that children can continue to be monitored and not fall into things that are not good.

One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment, she came
to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up,
she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.
She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in
trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near
the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried
her safely to dry ground.
Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove,
hoping to trap it in this way.
Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter
dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.

Nowadays, in modern era, I think internet is very important for students.

As we all know internet has many function for supporting our life. They are, first, it gives us
various information, news, knowledge etc. Students can search anything or something from
internet. Take for example, they search about education, entertainment, knowledge etc that
is in the world.

Second, they can add their friends in all countries in the world by internet. Chatting, e-mail,
facebook, twitter, interpals are some examples of internet facility to have many friends.
Besides, they can share, communicate, discuss and so on.

From my arguments above, as student, we should use internet facility well to get
knowledge, friends, information etc.

to the genus Apis. One of the most famous honey bee is the Western Honey Bee.

There are three castes of honey bee and each of them has their own job or function.
The first one is the Queen. The queen is a female honey bee with the job to lay eggs
and to be the mother of all bees in the colony. There is only one queen in a colony of
bees. An exclusive food called “royal jelly” is what makes a female honey bee grow
larger than other honey bees and became the queen. The second one is the Workers.
The workers are all female honey bees in a colony except the queen. They can consist
of as much as 60.000 bees in single colony. Some of their duties are: feeding the brood,
collecting food, receiving nectar, cleaning the hive, guard duty, producing honey and
also producing beeswax. The third one is the Drones. Drones are all male bees in a
colony. The drones have one job only and that is to fertilize the queen during the mating
process and will soon be dead after that.

The largest species of bee in the world is the Indonesian resin bee who can grow up to
the size of 39 millimetres and the smallest species is the Dwarf stingless bees with the
size of 2 millimetres. They have the typical body of an insect with three sections: the
head, thorax and abdomen. They have two large eyes, two antenna, a mouth and a
long proboscis on their head. They use the proboscis to suck up nectar from a flower
which later be kept on their hind legs. There are three pairs of legs and two pairs of
