Strange Green Machines
Nowadays, scientists are focusing more and more on green inventions. These are devices that promote the idea of using less fossil fuel1 and being less harmful to the environment. Some of these green inventions will probably become very popular. Some may even fail to get off the ground. Others are just strange. Such is the case with meat-eating furniture. A team of British inventors designed a digital2 wall clock that is powered not by a battery or electrical plug, but by dead flies.
The clock has a strip of flypaper3 that revolves. After a fly lands and gets stuck on the paper, it is scraped off by a metal blade4 and drops into a special fuel cell5. There, the fly's body is transformed into energy. Time may have run out for the fly, but not for the person looking at the clock.
Of course, living bodies can create electricity as well, thanks to Orange Power Wellies6. These are specially designed rubber boots that will convert the heat from a person's feet into an electrical current7. In turn, the current can be used via a cable at the top of the boot to power a cellphone. It takes 12 hours of walking to charge a phone for one hour of use, but wearers can produce more energy just by making their feet hotter. Just think, you can walk and talk without having to worry about the battery dying on you.

The speaker asked us a question which state we want to go. Louisiana is my top choice and I really want to go there. The reason why I want to go there is a city in Louisiana, which is New Orleans. Although Louisiana is not the state of many landscapes, it still has its charming features to attach me to go there, especially New Orleans. New Orleans is a major Unites States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The city is located in the Mississippi River Delta on the east and west banks of the Mississippi River and south of Lake Pontchartrain. The area along the river is characterized by ridges and hollows. And its features become the reason for many people to come to New Orleans. I can sit along the river and drink a cup of cappuccino. It is a good way to enjoy my life in New Orleans.
New Orleans is world-famous for its abundance of unique architectural styles which reflect the city's historical roots and multicultural heritage. New Orleans is a multicultural city. New Orleans is an ld-age city. It is built in 1978 to memorizer the Regent of France, who called Philippe. Therefore, New Orleans has the France Quarter. Also, New Orleans has many major attractions, from Bourbon Street’ notorious nightlife to St. Charles Avenue, the historic Pontchartrain Hotel and many 19th century mansions. Another and the most important reason for me to New Orleans is the music. New Orleansis a hometown of many Jess singers. There are many good singers or players of Jess music in New Orleans. I can pick one club, pay the money and enjoy the small music content. Though the music, I really can relax from my body to my soul. And my travel of New Jersey will finally be the most perfect and end it.
Because Hurricane Katrina destroyed everything in New Orleans, I cannot enjoy the life which I want in the first in New Orleans. But I still want to go to New Orleans and image the landscapes or the life before Hurricane Katrina. Going to New Orleans is my dream to realize it.

I have a dream that I can go to Czech Republic in one day. Czech Republic is a place which has memory of ancient time. Praha is the capital city of Czech Republic and the city where I want to go. I have heard some good and beautiful things about Praha. There are some castles built in 13 century. Even I cannot come back to 13 century, I can imagine that I am in that time. I can enjoy the tea time and I am surrounded by the ancient building. It is a special way to enjoy my life. Vaclavske Namest is a coffee plaza and there is a Gothic chapel which is built in 11.12 century. Na Prikope Avenue is also the nice place to visit. The whole city is like the places in fairy stories. There are some street artists performing in Charles Bridge. Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge in East Europe. In the night, walking along to river is a nice activity. I stare blankly and feel the silence of the night.
Traveling is the most wonder thing in the world for me. I can train myself to be brave during traveling and see how big the world is.

European Community increases.
In 1985, Canada was the highest exports in these three countries. The next one was European Community. The last one was Australia. Canada was always the first one before 1989. In 1989, Canada dropped into the second one. The wheat exports of Canada in 1989 were less around ten millions tones than in 1988. But Canada grew five million of tones in1989 than 1988.
