Nuclear Power Plant

I had many opportunities to learn about nuclear power plants in first grade's class. I was also interested in nuclear power plants because I have experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake.  Japan is not a resource rich country so it has been using imported resources from abroad for thermal power generation and other purposes. Furthermore, the Great East Japan Earthquake caused a nuclear accident so Japan quitted nuclear power generation.  It is true that nuclear power has the risk of a disastrous situation if an accident occurs, but it has various advantages. Unlike thermal power, nuclear power does not emit CO2. Therefore it has less impact on global warming. In addition, uranium which is used as fuel exists all over the world. It can be supplied in a stable manner. In European countries, children have to learn about atoms.

The world that needs to change

 I usually watch the news on social media and TV. Recently I saw that tensions are rising between Ukraine and Russia. It was very impressive to me.  There are also other reports of conflicts in the world. It hurts me and I think that there are people suffering from war on the same planet. I am living a peaceful life with no inconvenience. We should appreciate the life we lead now because there is no war and no need to worry about food.  In Uyghur, China, human rights problems are happening. However the government regulations are strict and it is hard to help the suffering people. Because of the various problems, other countries are not able to help them. I really hate that kind of world and want change the world, but I don't know how to change because I am a very small being on the earth.

My respected grandfather

   I have grandparents who are almost 80 years old. They have taken care of me since I was little and have been very protective of me. I still visit my grandparents frequently and enjoy eating and talking with them.     I have been walking dog with my grandfather since my childhood. My grandfather likes to go for walks so he used to take me. He turned 80 last year but he is full of energy and still takes long walks with me. On our walks, I listen to his interesting stories and hardships. He talks about a lot of interesting and exciting episode so I felt that the longer people lives, the more interesting people experiences.     My grandfather lost his father when he was a child and had a very hard time but he studied hard and worked diligently. I have great respect for him. One of my favorite episodes is that my grandfather used to go back to his hometown to help his mother with her work every time he had a long vacation when he was in university. ...
