Corona Del Mar beach is a wonderful place for many reasons. The beach is so big. We can have B.B.Q, swimming, playing volleyball, flisbee, soccer and so on. It was funny when everyone was threw into ocean. I think everyone swallowed a little of water which was very cold and salty. I, Jimmy and many classmates played flisbee game. It's rules like the soccer game. I never played this game. It was interesting and exciting. Of course, my team won this game, because I had good teammates and Jimmy always can pass the flisbee accurately. I love the sunset in Corona Del Mar, because the view is gorgeous and like a post card. Therefore, I took a lot of pictures with my friends and had fun in Corona Del Mar beach.

My hero is Kobe Bryant because he is the best player in NBA now. There are several reasons to prove. First, his skill of score is amazing. There are always two or three defenders to want to stop him. But he uses fade away, slum dunk or assist to get points. He can use amazing skill to avoid defenders and get points. In the 2006-2007 seasons, he got over 50 points in consecutive 5 games and ever got 81 points in one game. If he wants to get points, nobody can stop him. Second, he always is the first man to practice shooting and running everyday. Although he is the best player in NBA, he tries to improve himself best and best. Another I admire him because he always strongly wants to win every game, and never give up. I think that I should learn this spirit on my studying. In conclusion, there are many good players in NBA, but he has great ambition to win every game. He always can create surprise to audiences in Stales Center.

Please check.

I think global warming is a serious threat to our envirioment. There are seveal reasons to suppot my opinion. The global surface temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100. And the most serious effect is that more polar ice will be melted. First,some islands or cities will be sinking. There are less land to live for people. Moreover, the animals which live in polar will be extinct. Second, because the global warming will cause the temperature of sea rising, the typhoon will be more frequent. It means a lot of disasters will happen and cause big threat for people. Third, global warming will cause deficiency of water, because the rate of evaporation will great increase. However, water is the most important souce to cultivate, produce and live. Therefore, it will bring big catastrophes to humanity. In conclusion, global warming is a big problem to people. We should take care and protect our globe.
