Do you know what evaporation means. So water falls and then it goes in the stream and it falls in the ocean, then when it is heated by the sun it turns into gas which is evaporation.  

We use an average of 640 litres of water a day.

60% of house water is to flush toilets or take baths and shower.

The longest non stop swim was made by Susie Maroney from Australia in 1998 she swam from Mexico to Cuba.

The worst marine pollution was between 1953-1967.

Te Ahu Cinema Lion King - Draft Writing

When we went to Te Ahu cinema we watched the new Loin king it was funny exciting . So let me take you to the beginning. so Mufusa had a new born child called Simba. Rafiki put this kind of red paint on his head.Then he went to the pride the end of the pride rock and held him up and all the Elephant's and Giraffe's and Zebras came except his brother Scar.

Then he was a little bit  older then he went to his uncle Scar and he said I want to go somewhere he said go to the Elephants grave's it's where bones of Elephant's and bursting hot larva he went there but with Narla and one guide bird zazu he said lets go to the water hole and he did a nasty trick he was getting rid of zazu and then he lost him and he went to the Elephants grave's the huyens came and then they attack.

that was my favourite part Then he went to this place  and there were bulls coming Scar wanted to kill him so he can take pride rock and when Mufasa died they thought they killed Simba but they didn't. He felt so sad that he killed his dad. so he went away in the desert and he fell asleep and voulches were surrounding him and Pumba came to rescue but not to save an loin. then they said it's a loin run Pumba run what he cute and nice Timon say's he's a meat eater then he woke him up then took him to the jungle they sang there modo which was a Kuma ma ta ta and then he ad to learn to not be a meat eater and eat grubs after that he saw Nala and then they talked and talked then they were finished Nala said that the pride land is not pride anymore and he said no so he went back with Nala to save the Pridelands.
