ENW in Pompeii

     Today I listened to 'ENW in Pompeii' in English News Weekly. In this podcast, ENW were talking about Pompeii, a antient city where was destroyed by the eruption of a volcano.

     ENW team went to Rome to visit the ruins of Pompeii. They first arrived at a small town of Sorrento to have breakfast. After an hour, they leave the town to continue their journey to Pompeii. After arrived at Pompeii, they were worried about the fact that the Mt Vesuvius is still an active volcano. This mountain is just the volcano that destroyed Pompeii about 2000 years ago. Before had been destroyed, Pompeii was a very large city in Rome that had held about 20,000 people. However it buried in the volcanic ashes on that October day in 79AD. 

     After I listened to this Podcast, I was surprised at the fact that The word 'volcano' was came from the eruption of the Mt. Vesuvius! I want to visit this ruins someday.

In the world cup, South Africa defeated the England and won the third world title. The ENW went to the Yokohama International Stadium to watch the game.

I was very busy last week.

     I was very busy last week.     First, I have to prepare for midterm tests of Inorganic Chemistry and Biochemistry. Especially, Inorganic Chemistry is very difficult to understand because it contains the theory of Physics. I'm not good at Physics so I have to review my notebook many times. There are also many things to remember to solve the questions of Biochemistry. I hope I could done my best at these tests.     Second, I have many homework. For example, the reports of Chemical experiment and Biological experiment, English terms of Biology, the homework of Programing and so on. Fortunately, I could finish all of them by the dead line but they made me very tired.     This week, I can relax than last week so I want to sleep a lot, play games, and join the club activity.
