Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a day to remember the people who sacrificed their lives at the World World 1. It is always celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month(Nov 11). Remembrance Day started when the World War 1 ended on Nov.11,1918. King George V dedicated this day to remember all of the members of the armed forces who died at the war. We celebrate Remembrance Day because we want to remember all of the one hundred thousand people who died at the war to save our lives. We celebrate Remembrance Day on November 11 by we pause for two minutes to remember all of the members at the war. We also attend ceremonies.

Personally I think that Remembrance Day is a great holiday to celebrate. When we celebrate Remembrance Day, we remember all of the members of the armed forces that lost their lives in order to save our homes and our lives. Also without the sacrifices of the people at war, we would probably be living a different life right now. We are living a peaceful life thanks to the people who fought for us. Remembrance Day is a great holiday to celebrate because without Remembrance Day, we would not remember all of the people who died to save our lives.

China Landslides leaves 41 missing and 26 dead

The landslides in southwestern China has left 41 people missing and 26 people dead.That's according to the state media. Chuxiong city in Yunnan province was hit the most by this landslide. In Chuxiong city, there were 20 deaths and 41 people were missing. Chuxiong city has been hit by heavy rain for the past days. Lincang city reported 2 deaths and Kunming, the capital of Yunnan reported 4 deaths. The heavy rain that has caused these landslides have affected more than 410,000 people. Also, 2300 houses have been damaged and another 1000 have been destroyed.So far, 5 disaster relief teams are at work and 25,000 people have been sent to safe places. Power supply and transportation has also been affected by the landslides.


In my opinion, I think that China should have gotten more disaster relief teams. If China had more disaster relief teams, then less people would have been killed and less people would be missing. Also, China should have a safety plan if another landslide hits China. If China has a plan for the next landslide, then everyone will know what to do and where to go for safety. In my opinion, I think China should give money to the people who lost their house when the landslide struck China.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a one day holiday in which people get together and have a feast. Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated on the second Monday of October. It is close to the harvest season. Thanksgiving started in 1578 when Martin Frobisher had a ceremony to give thanks for surviving the long journey. That was the first thanksgiving in North America. Thanksgiving was also celebrated in Halifax when the Seven Years' War ended in 1763. Thanksgiving became an annual celebration starting in 1879. Also, farmers celebrate Thanksgiving because they want to give thanks for their harvest.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday and there is a lot of good food to eat. One of the great food that is good to eat is turkey. Thanksgiving is a great way to get together with other family members. Thanksgiving is a great way to spend time with the family and a great way to eat large dinners. I personally don't celebrate Thanksgiving but I think that it is a great holiday. My family thinks that Thanksgiving is a religious holiday and that's why my family doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving.

Cyber Bullying

Cyber Bullying is when people are getting bullied, tormented, threatened, harassed or getting embarrassed over the Internet. People talk nicely on the Internet and try to get the other person who they are targeting to like them. Once they know the person likes them, they tell the person that they should meet. Also, they might tell the person that they don't like them and they should stop talking to each other. Cyber Bullying is dangerous because if the person tells the kid that they should stop talking to each other because the person doesn't like the kid, then the kid could get sad and commit suicide. That will really hurt the kid's parents. A way to prevent Cyber Bullying is that we could tell the parents to watch their kids on what they are doing on the Internet. If the kid is talking to someone, this could tell the parents who the kid is talking to.
