4. Venice
Venice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region
Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice
Metropolitan Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”,
“City of Water”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches
across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic
Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117
islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on
which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center,
the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on
water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat
which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or
other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses
(“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between
the city’s islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas
still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries
crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.
You can see the amusing city’s landmarks such as Piazza San
Marco, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark’s Cathedral or villas of the
Veneto. The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the
Republic, are one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside.
They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for
fashionable parties of high society. The city is also well known for its
beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.

6. What is a Tornado?
Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging
disasters. What is the description of tornadoes? A tornado is a very
powerful column of winds which spirals around a center of low
atmospheric pressure. A tornado will look like a large black funnel which
hangs down from a storm cloud.
The name “tornado” derives from the Latin “tonare”. It
means “to thunder.” While the Spanish developed the word into
“tornear” which means “to turn or twist”. This is why a tornado is
sometimes called twister or cyclone.
The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to
500 miles an hour, but it usually travels at roughly 300 miles an hour.
This speed twisting makes a tornado the most dangerous storm.
The average tornado has a diameter of about 200 to 300
yards. The smaller tornadoes are known as satellite tornadoes. These
small offspring, about 50 yards across, can be very fierce and do lots of
damage.
The forming of a tornado can be very quick. Sometimes it
can form in a minute or less. A tornado can travel across the ground at
high speeds, then it can suddenly vanish. Most tornadoes last less than
twenty minutes and travel less than 15 miles. However, the super
storms sometimes travel over 100 miles before they are exhausted.
