Tsunami

The term of tsunami comes from the Japanese which means harbour ("tsu") and
wave ("nami"). A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or a
sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.

A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically
displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust
can occur at plate boundaries.

Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunami, and

occur where denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.

As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its
equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.

Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge
mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising
fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area.

NEVER TRY SMOKING
A lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke, always want to try
smoking. They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to
try. So they ask one of their smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they firstly
can not light it on their own so they ask his friend to do it. Then they inhale that
cigarette and smoke occasionally.
Apparently that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly regularly.
They can not avoid smoking and they enjoy too. They have smoker friends.
Everyday they bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as
important as a wallet for their money.
Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long
list of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease
but also bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around
400,000 Americans died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco-
related illnesses.

Then they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking.
Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so difficult. Why can't I stop
smoking? I really want to stop it. It is hard to quit because nicotine is powerfully
addictive. Cigarette is one of the most efficient drug-delivery devices ever devised.
As result, when people try to quit smoking, they often experience classic nicotine
withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, headache, depression, and
restlessness.
Well, still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are not smoker,
you should never and never try to smoke.

"Nasreddins Coat"
One day Nasreddin had been invited to the dinner party. He went to the party by
wearing old clothes.
When he arrived in the party, nobody looked at him and nobody gave him a seat.
He got no food in the party so he went home and change his clothes
Next he put on his best clothes. He wore his newest coat and went to the party
again. The host at once got up and came to meet him. The host offered him the
best table and gave him a good seat and served him the best food
Nasreddin sat and put off his coat. He put his coat and said; Eat the food, Coat!
the hosts and guests were very surprised and asked Nareddin; What are doing?
Nasreddin replied calmly; When I came here with my old clothes, nobody looked at
me. Then I went home and put on my best clothes. I came back in my newest coat
and you all give me this best food and drink. So, you give food to my coat instead of
me. Getting Nasreddin's answer, they just shook the head.

Example : (Analytical Exposition)

Is Smoking Good for Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands
people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as
many as die in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases
caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a
day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we
smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of
people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and
half times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and
pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance
causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money
from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.

What is a tornado?

Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging disasters. What is the
description of tornadoes? A tornado is a very powerful column of winds which spirals
around a center of low atmospheric pressure. A tornado will look like a large black
funnel which hangs down from a storm cloud.

The name "tornado" derives from the Latin "tonare". It means "to thunder." While
the Spanish developed the word into "tornear" which means "to turn or twist". This
is why a tornado is sometimes called twister or cyclone.
The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to 500 miles an hour, but it
usually travels at roughly 300 miles an hour. This speed twisting makes a tornado
the most dangerous storm.

The average tornado has a diameter of about 200 to 300 yards. The smaller
tornadoes are known as satellite tornadoes. These small offspring, about 50 yards
across, can be very fierce and do lots of damage.

The forming of a tornado can be very quick. Sometimes it can form in a minute or
less. A tornado can travel across the ground at high speeds, then it can suddenly
vanish. Most tornadoes last less than twenty minutes and travel less than 15 miles.
However, the super storms sometimes travel over 100 miles before they are
exhausted.

Gift Card Bring Advantages and Disadvantages

Gift cards become more popular during recent years. For example, in one season of
holiday, sales reach $19 billion in United Stated and seem to grow more in the
following season due to their convenience in the side of consumers and retailers.

In retailers side, gift cards bring them some benefits. Selling gift card in simply
selling product. When the cards are sold, they will get benefit. Additionally, gift card
tends to be a matter of image and trend which means it is not strictly influenced by
the functionality. Since gift card is the trend, the sales will increase significantly.

However, there is potential disadvantages in the side of consumers. For example,

itune gift cards apply process in the way of completing the shopping. they need do
one step to another steps in processing the shopping. Likely, most of the steps
apply time and date of validity or expiration. When certain step loose that validating
date, the gift cards may be in risk. The gift card can be rejected to redeem. Again, in
retailers side, producing card its self is costly. It means that there is additional cost
which retailers have to pay.
In whatever thing, we need to be wise. if we can use that gift.

Example : (Descriptive)
Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing
a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a
ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends
most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat.

He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity
with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor
of only the most expensive brands.

Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some

and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted,
or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this
to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he
is jealous of my friends.

After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself
in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but
endearing, habits.
