      The mining in sky is a good idea because its benefits, but it is adventure in the same time. The explorers found asteroids in our solar system which include water, gold, and platinum. The benefit of the water is to use as fuel or to grow crops in space. The group who lead the project, mining in sky, sent a new telescope to investigate types of the rocks. Some people afraid about this project cost which is about billion dollars, but others like James, who makes avatar movie, invests money in this project which will be started in 10 years.
      It good to find other sources of water, metals, or fuel in space. I wish to invest money in such project. Maybe finding water in space leads to find life there.

       The protection of the engendered animals, such as "saving the panda" is very important, but it isn't easy in the same time. For example, the cost of hosing of panda, which is extinct animal, can exceed $2.5 million a year. This money is spent as fee for doctors, keepers, food, and toys. Although the cost is expensive, several benefits will get. First, saving these kinds of animals from the extinction is good thing. In recent year the number of bounded-panda has risen. Second, the government will get revenue. Also, there are many pandas became independent. Some countries like the US and China is protecting the panda, and they try to make it many.
          When I read the passage "Saving the Panda", I felt surprising because of the cost of caring. In past, I thought that the ticket of any zoo is expensive, but now I thing that is reasonable. But when I went to the San Diego's zoo, I saw the panda was dirty. By the way the panda is a beautiful animal, so we should save it.
        from this passage I learn some vocabularies, such as precious, revenue, offset, and accommodating.

            The most important sporting event in the world is the Olympic Games. Most of people dream to become an athlete and take part in the Olympic games, but that is depend on two factors.
