The research of alternative resources of energy has resulted in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Changing waste products into gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But today, that process has proved expensive. Giant windmills have been built to provide a considerable source of electricity. Other experiments in geothermal power are being tested to harness power deep inside the earth.

Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric power which is derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one-third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to change the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

In the old days, Vietnamese roads were seen with bicycles and a few trucks. Now they are full of a variety of vehicles. The Vietnamese carry a huge load of a variety of goods up to over one hundred kilograms, especially during the war.

Time has gone by and fewer bikes are visible in the street. In big cities, many people think that bicycles belong to the inferior classes and seem unfashionable. That is why people often find it hard – psychologically and physically – to park their bikes when going to a modern café or shopping mall.

Motorbikes are the main mode of transport in Viet Nam, with 24 million of them in a country of 87 million people in 2009, one of the highest ratios in the world. More motorbikes of all brands have dominated the road. The mobility which motorbikes provide is so crucial to workers in big cities. Some youths try to show off with expensive motorbikes of famous brands. Almost anything can be transported on a motorcycle. The loads include a basket of fruits, tree trunks, live pigs, flocks of live ducks, and stacked crates of raw eggs. Two-thirds of VietNam’s population of 85 million are under 30, and motorcycle has become the center of youth culture.

Dear Kate,

How have you been? It has been a long time since I wrote a letter. I was caught up with the holidays and Mama's family came over, so was not able to write any. Hope you have become accustomed to the hostel food there.

When Mama and her family came over, we all went to the Jim Corbett National Park. It was spread on a huge area with huge deciduous and mango trees. There were more than 100 species of trees, with so many varieties of birds, reptiles, and other mammals. The Tigers were the special tourist attractions there.

We also went on an early morning safari and we were able to spot a sambar deer and an elephant. There were the Kalagarh dam and the Corbett falls which were awesome. I will show you all the pictures when you come over for the next holidays.

Also, let's plan to visit there together again when you come here.

Study well, eat well, and sleep well.

Take care.

Love,

Jack

There are thousands of different kinds of microbes. Microbes called bacteria are the smallest living things. Bacteria live almost everywhere: on land, in water, and even inside you. Some microscopic life forms are like plants. Tiny diatoms are microbes that live in lakes and the ocean. Diatoms soak up sunlight and use its energy to make food, just like plants.

Some microscopic life forms are more like animals. Protozoa such as the amoeba and paramecium are animal-like microorganisms. An amoeba can move by changing the shape of its body. It sticks out a pseudo pod, or false foot. A paramecium is covered with tiny hairs. It waves its hairs rapidly to swim.

Viruses are another kind of microbe. Viruses sometimes act like living things and other times act like nonliving things. Viruses sometimes live in the cells of plants and animals. Inside a cell, a virus reproduces like a living thing. The virus uses the cell to make many copies of itself. Viruses are too small to see with an ordinary microscope. You need a powerful electron microscope to see a virus. Outside of a plant or animal cell, a virus is like a nonliving thing.
