Journey

Brief Introduction

The story is about a girl who's bored and can't get anyone in her family to play with her. She goes to her room feeling sad, but discovers a bright red crayon and decides to make her own adventure, and draws a door on the wall that takes her to a beautiful forest with a river. She draws a boat and sails to a city where men are trying to capture a bird. She bravely rescues the bird but finds herself captured and placed in a cage. The grateful bird helps her escape, and together they fly to safety and back to the city where the girl lives becoming close friends.

I read this book with my three and a half years old son last night. Tonight, when we read it again, new words will be used to give voice to the story told through the images.

Check out the facts about the tsunami (海啸)and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.

Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions (喷发).As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, water may be pulled back hundreds of metres. If you are on the shore and observe this phenomenon, you'll know that a tsunami is on the way.

Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate (撤出)as possible. When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast), they slow down but increase in height.

An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries. In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people. The tsunami waves created by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres in northern Japan, destroying coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.
