Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons(台风)? Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) and the South China Sea. Most of them happen in July, August and September.

wind. The wind goes in circles（圆圈）and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, one is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.

How are you? This week we did a project on the history of London.
My grandfather said that London in the 1950s was a terrible place to live because the air pollution was so bad. There were many factories and they caused a lot of smoke. This smoke caused heavy black fog in the sky. The people of London called this “smog”.
Sometimes the smog was so thick that people could not see at all. Taxis and buses could not go anywhere as it was too dangerous to drive. The smog was also harmful to people’s health, and some people found that it was difficult to breathe.
In 1965, the government made new laws about the pollution, and the air got much cleaner. Today it is clean and we never see smog in London.
Since the 1950s, people from all over the world have come to live in London. My grandfather says that this is one of the best changes—now he can eat food from India, China, Italy and Germany in his neighbourhood. I like living in London today, and I am happy to have friends from all over the world. Write back soon. Jessica

First, we should not drop litter everywhere. And we had better pick up the litter on the ground when we see it. It is necessary to keep the environment around us clean.
Second, we can try not to drive cars often. We can go on foot, by bike or by bus to school or work. It can not only protect the environment, but also it is good for our health. Third, we should save paper, water, food and so on.
