An article about my country in the English speaking press

A terrible earthquake happened in China on May,12. It is the most destructive in the past sixty years (since 1949). So far, more than 22,069 deaths have been confirmed and nearly two millions people were injured (When I wrote this article, more than 70000 deaths ) .Because earthquake damaged the roads and communications, so the number has increased so fast. The earthquake brings more than five millions homeless people, they were in temporary shelter after quake. It is most important topic in China now. When I watch TV, listen to the radio, read newspapers in Internet, I am surrounded by the news about the quake. I am so sad about the disaster and so touched by lots of stories.

This article mentions almost everything about the earthquake. After you read it, you will know about the situation of the earthquake. That is why I choose this article.

The article mentions the destructive result of the earthquake. It caused terrible loss of lives and properties and what the Government is doing. The top priory is still saving lives. It also mentions foreign rescuers arrived Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea and Singapore sent teams to help in the rescue effort. Many countries gave China finance help. it was a big issue.

The Effects of Globalisation on my life

These years, globalisation is a hot topic. In my opinion globalisation means that countries depend on each other more and more. Everything between countries run like inside one country. This effects our lives very much.

More and more Asian food are imported to New Zealand.I moved to Auckland 8 years ago. When I just arrived, I found it difficult to adapt to the life here, especially the food. It was very different from China, but later I could find more and more food from China and some food I like very much from other Asian countries. Now in Auckland, I almost can buy everything that I did in China, from fish, shrimp to vegetables. I like rice from Thailand, even some ingredients.

When I talk with my friends in China, Australia, we mentions the same food, it seems we stay in the same city, not far away from each other.

I can feel the price was cut down, because of the imported food, and we can buy everything all the time, not like before some vegetables and friuts only occurs in certain season. I think it makes our lives better and better.
