EXPLANATION TEXT

How does Rain Happen?

Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable
conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and
crop irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle
involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and causing the surface water to
evaporate. The water vapor rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere
cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall
to the earth as precipitation which can be in the form of rain or snow.
However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air.
This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

why not all rain reaches the surface of the earth?

because in the dry area which is generally hot and the water temperature falling rain will
evaporate because of the heat temperature in that area

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making
process that occurs in green plants. It is the chief
function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means
putting together with light. Green plants use energy from
light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar
and other chemical compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green
pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making cell in a
plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called
chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy causes water
drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me
tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series of
complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon
dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar. Oxygen
from the water molecules is given off in the process.
From sugar together with nitrogen, sulphur, and
phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch,
fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex compounds
essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical
energy that is needed to produced these compounds.

THE ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF NUCLEAR POWER

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a
metal mined in various part of the world. The first large scale
of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in
Cumbria, England in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power
plant for engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the
world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of
energy. It cause no pollution as we would get when burning
fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:
It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to
make.
It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does
not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount
of uranium.
It produces small amount of waste.
It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It
must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the
radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable,
a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does
go wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a major accident.
People are increasingly concerned about this matter. In the
1990's nuclear power was the fastest growing source of
power in many parts of the world.

CHILDREN HOMEWORK, PRO AND CON

There are a lot of discussion as to whether children should be
given homework or not. Is it enough for children having time to
study at school or needing additional time in home for study after
school time?
Some people claim that children do enough work in school already.
They also argue that children have their hobbies which they want
to do after school, such as sport or music. A further point they
make is that a lot of home works are pointless and does not help
the children learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of
view. Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out
whether children can work on their own without the support from
the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children
to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.
Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get
anything done. It makes sense to send home tasks like
independent reading or further writing task which do not need
the teacher support.
I think, on balance, that some homework is good idea but that
should only given at the weekend when children have more time.
