The document discusses a project in Afghanistan led by Dr. Nakamura to help provide water to local people. A Japanese worker describes their work using local methods like concrete blocks to manage water flow and build canals. This allows the local community to maintain the infrastructure independently after the project is completed. The worker enjoyed collaborating with Afghan people on the project and hopes to continue improving their Pashtun language skills.
This document is an email from Sabrina Rahman, a student from Bangladesh studying in Japan, to someone she volunteered with last summer to help flood victims in Kyushu. She saw this person working on a construction project in Afghanistan building a canal. The project leader is a Japanese doctor named Nakamura Tetsu who has been doing medical aid projects in the area for over 20 years. Bangladesh faces the opposite problem from Afghanistan, often suffering damage from floods instead of lacking water. Sabrina is studying forestry in Japan to help end poverty in developing countries.
This document discusses Japanese grammar structures using relative pronouns like "when", "where", "why", and "how" to connect two sentences and explain the antecedent. It provides examples of sentences using these structures to talk about remembering a day and describing a country. It also discusses indirect questions where the interrogative word is the object and comes at the beginning of the sentence, and gives examples comparing direct and indirect questions. It assigns practice problems for the students and prepares them for a writing assignment.
1. The earthworm is found in warm, wet soil around the world and comes in various lengths from 1 millimeter to 3 meters long.
2. It is rarely seen in neighborhoods because it usually stays underground and only comes to the surface at night to breathe through its thin skin.
3. After heavy rain, taking a walk early in the morning in a park or woods may allow one to see earthworms moving across the ground as their underground holes filled with water.
The document discusses facts about earthworms. It states that earthworms eat five times as much food as their own weight each day. Their bodies are made up of about 100 rings covered in tiny hairs that help them move through soil, breaking it up and leaving holes that allow rainwater and air in for plant growth, making the soil richer. Earthworms are small but act as good natural farmers.
1. The document discusses how earthworms and other tiny creatures help break down leaves and other dead plants and animals.
2. Millions of baby insects and earthworms eat leaves that have fallen on the ground each autumn. The leaves are digested and enter the soil as waste.
3. Bacteria in the soil then change the waste into gas and liquid. By the next autumn, all of last year's leaves have disappeared from the ground.
