Today, plastic garbage (塑料垃圾) is a big problem around the world. Every year, people make about 300,000,000 tons garbage. And the number is getting bigger these years. To save our earth (地球), many countries start to do something useful.
In Ambikapur, a city in India, there is a special restaurant. It's a "garbage cafe". People don't need to pay money for their food, but they need to take some plastic garbage there. If you have one kilogram of plastic garbage, you can have a great dinner or lunch there. The breakfast is cheaper — you can have it for a half of that number. This way can not only make people like to collect the garbage in their daily life, but also make the people with no homes have a warm place to eat healthy food.
Where does the plastic garbage go in the end? Don't worry. The city will get the plastic garbage together, and use it to build (修建) roads. The roads with plastic are strong and people can use them for a long time. Now, there are some roads made from the plastic garbage in Ambikapur. And with the help of the new ideas, the city will build more such roads.
Now some other countries also like the "garbage cafe". They think it can keep the city clean and also make people healthy.
Waking up in the morning is difficult, and sometimes a ringing alarm clock can't get you out of a sweet dream. Now people in Japan have a better helper.
Fisherman Japan is an organization whose purpose is to make fishing cool again. Recently, it started an interesting wake-up call service to help people who have trouble waking up in the morning. The service is called Fisherman Call. Japanese fishermen will call registered (注册的) users to wake them up and start a short conversation that is sure to get them out of bed.
Fisherman Call is a free service. All you have to do is to register online and give your name, phone number and the time you would like to be called by a fisherman. You can even choose your own fisherman from the list online. You can see a picture of each one of the fishermen, find out their work time and even listen to a recording of their voice to see if it's the first voice you want to hear in the morning. Then, all you have to do is to go to sleep.
Most of the fishermen wake up in the early morning, and finish most of their work by 6 a.m. So however early you plan on waking up. They'll probably be able to help you do it.
Fisherman Call is a real service, but another purpose of it is to connect Japanese youth with fishing, one of the oldest professions in the country. It is reported that the fishermen won' l try to persuade you to do the job during the morning phone conversation. But the idea is to increase people's interest in the fishing industry. In fact, it's already working.
On Saturdays, most people are busy ______ for their homes. Some of them go to the stores, some go to the supermarkets. But in America, most shoppers enjoy shopping in the shopping malls.
A mall is a group of many shops. There you can buy clothes, furniture, and everything you need. Shopping malls provide parking for your cars. Usually, the mall is under one roof so the shoppers do not get cold or wet from rain, wind, or snow.
After shopping, you may get tired. You can walk into the sitting-rooms for a short rest. If you can go into the dining rooms in the malls, then you can have a good meal. Now more and more Americans like to go shopping there.
For years, I fought with the "bird's nest" on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn't agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair "the mop(拖把)".
When I got to university I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly(卷曲的)hair straightened(拉直). However, it cost me $ 700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.
But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a "curly haired" salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.
"Do you really think this will work?"I asked.
"No curly hair is hopeless, "she replied. "You just haven't found a way to work with it. That's all. "
After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn't believe it:my hair looked beautiful.
Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I'm looking better than ever but that they don't know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don't need to tell them. My hair speaks for itself.
