text to learn: Hurricanes and tornadoes

Two of the most dangerous storms which afflict America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction and cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year.Hurricanes which usually develop between July and October are similar to cyclones and originate over the waters in the Caribbean Sea. They move upwards hitting the mainland of America somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind. These winds can attain speeds of over 75 mph. And cover an area of over 500 miles in diameter. At the center of the storm there is an "eye" with relatively fair weather and warm, dry air aloft. The diameter of the eye is usually about 32 kilometers. When the eye passes the relief is only temporary but soon the wind and rain will suddenly reappear from the opposite direction. Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and torrential rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage. People living in the wake of a storm are given ample warning to protect their homes. Flashlights or candles are be prepared in case of electric-power failures and plenty of fresh water should be saved as precautions against the pollution of water supplies by flooding.If one should travel inland across the Great Plains and the prairie states of America, one will most likely not encounter a hurricane, but there is another kind of storm in the Midwest which is equally feared. It is called a tornado. Tornadoes are violent low-pressured storms with an intense updraft near their center which is capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. A tornado, therefore, is a dark, funnel-shaped cloud containing violently rotating air. It can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars. Like a vacuum cleaner across a rug, it sucks up into the air anything which may lie in its path. These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes travel normally at around 60 kilometers per hour and the winds can reach 800 kilometers per hours in the most violent storms. Tornadoes are most frequent in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and especially in the central plains area of the Mississippi basin where about 150 occur each year. Tornadoes may also strike the southern states in winter and have even been known to develop in the northeast. Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage each year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored. When they come they must be endured with the hope that one survives their fury and wrath.

Roxette forever

One of my favorite international bands is Roxette. This Swedish group is really amazing and their songs are terrific ones. I have liking this band since my teen time.I love all the musics that they compose and some bring me good moments of my life. Once time I traveled to the beach for my first time and when I was there at night feeling the wind blow, I was listening to “what´s she like” I won´t never forget that moment. “Silver blue”, “So far away”, “vulnerable”, church of your heart” and others will be on my mind forever. It´s hard to imagine the world without this fantastic band.I love them and I have some cds of them at my home and when I have time I adore to listen to.

My first article

My first text here in my blog is about English language.It is very essential idiom for all of us.so, to learn English is a situation I love and I am always exploring new words and useful expressions.I feel myself so good when I write or read anything written in English.When I was a child I did approach an extremely powerful influence of the american English by watching films and by listening to music too.I didn´t remind exactly what were the my first words I learned in English but I may warrant that they were basic words projected from vocabulary.In the beginning I just might write in English and when I did my first course in English with the professor Marcos Nonato in his house,I learned to speak.Today I can write, read and speak.I also am learning to listen to English and that is being more easy for me because I am used to certain pronunciations.I majored at Fine Arts at CAMEAM university from Pau dos Ferros RN here in Brazil.During the time of faculty, I studied academic subjects in English.I like to read interesting articles that ample still more my background in English and I decided to create this blog to write issues in English.I hope that you have enjoyed this article.Thank you very much!
