special building in Hong Kong- Chek Lap Kok Terminal

Hong Kong Airport is located in Lantau Island which is near the Hong Kong Disneyland. It is the biggest covered structure in the world. Completed in 1998, it took around 9 years from start to end and cost US$20 million.
 In terms of the construction, environmental protection was the main idea. Glass is their cover materials which can though the sunlight directly rather than electric light during the day time. This airport is considerably better than other international airports by virtue of the fact that visitors go to city only to take around 20minutes by the airport express.
There are many facilities and entertainment in the arrival hall which are cinema, hotel, lounge, duty free shop, restaurants and so on. On the other hand, shopping outlet is indispensable part of visitors travelling. Not only do travelers take 5 minutes by bus to go shopping conveniently, but they also enjoy the cheaper price of the brand products. In addition, most of the foreigner can get through the Hong Kong immigration without VISA.This is one of the reasons why passengers choose this airport to transit.

Chinese Pink dolphin in Hong Kong

Chinese Pink dolphin is one of the icons to represent Hong Kong. It is a mammal and looks like a large fish with a pointed mouth. In general, their bodies are grey or blue but Hong Kong dolphins have a special pink body. It is not easy to see them, which depend on the weather, temperature and your fortune.
Intelligent and friendly are their personalities so there is a famous theme park in Hong Kong which chose dolphin to be performers. Provided training lessons for them, dolphins can be truly tame.
Everyone knows that air and water pollution are the serious problems in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, sea is dolphin’s natural habitat. Their life is obviously in danger. All of the Hong Kong residents must obey the rules and regulations, they cannot dump of raw sewage and throw pollutants in the sea.

The argument of using animals in experiments or not is becoming more and more popular recently.
In some people`s opinion, the behavior of animals testing in experiments is an absolute brutality.They think the animals are on an equality with human beings,which are all the God created to live,so the human have no rights to hurt them.
But in other people`s opinion,the testing animals may be necessary. We could`t test  people in experiment. And the procedure is essential element of any medical program or we could`t use the production in human beings directly.
In my point, I think the '3R' method is the best choice. The 3R method means Reduction,Refinement and Replacement.Reduction means that uses fewer and fewer living animals in experiment. Refinement means reduce the harm to animals caused by inhuman procedure.And the replacement means that the experimental materials use the cell or some other no-feeling inferior animals.The method is the trend in this section. Animal testing may be necessary, but we need to be be merciful.

animal testing - Jin

In recent years, animal testing has caused many arguments. While scientists take this as a necessary process to test new medical techniques and drugs, some people believe it is too cruel for animals.
As far as I am concerned, I approve animal testing. Before used by human being, drugs should be tested by some animals which have similar physical processes to us. At first this can reduce the side effects of using drugs on people without any testing procedures. Moreover, compared with other creatures, some kinds of animals such as white mice and monkeys are easy to breed which means testing on them will not cost highly.
In spite of the advantages mentioned above, on the other hand, we should take measures to strengthen managements of animal testing as well as set standards for animal treatment on the grounds that animals are living in the earth with us as one of our companions, we should respect them for what they have done for us.

The Brown Bear. Kristina

I am going to tell you about the symbol of Russia - the Brown Bear. It is a very large animal with its weight reaching 780 kg. The habitat of The Brown Bear is located in northern Eurasia and North America. It lives in the forest and can climb on the pretty high trees. The Brown Bear is a carnivorous type of an animal and is the largest land-based predator. Nevertheless, it feeds on a variety of plant and berries as well as fish, meat and insects. As you know from the cartoon "Vinny the Pooh", bears like to consume some sweet honey, it is a very exotic thing in their diet.
The Brown Bear is an agressive and dangerous animal, especailly when you wake it up accidentally in winter when it hibernates. In summer, they try to find a pair for reproduction. The male individuals fight a lot in order to obtain better partner. In Russia nearby the small towns in the contryside, the Brown Bears contact with humans frequently, by steeling or destroying goods from courtyards or browsing for something to eat in the rubbish bins. There is a formed association in the world, that bears walk on the street in Russia and I can tell you, with no doubts, that it is wrong :) Only in a small isolated village in woods bear can walk on the road, because it is so hungry in winter and pretty smart as well to steel something from human.
Cheers.
