L words

I think compared to China the society and the legal system of the United States I think is more open and transparent. I cannot imagine that there are some that there would be public investigations like this to the politic person [into politicians] – it can be public. In China the investigations into the political persons [politicians] are always secret. And maybe you will know learn the result when the investigation is has completed. So in my opinion it is more transparent in the US – both to the public and to the media.

I think the problem is it’s the problem about how the news works. I mean as a media person – your attitude and what you write will have instruction to the influence the readers – when you write the news what you want to write down is the are facts and not what you think and not your opinion – or what you guess.

Remember you can use the word “OR” to connect many ideas in one sentence.

The story happens 100 years later now takes place 100 years from now, and it is about the sun. The sun will explode in 100 years later, and for the people living in on the earth they have 2 choices: 1 is to develop a spaceship to move to the other another planet and another choice is to make the earth to fly to another planet. After rounds of debate, and voting all around/all over the world, the people choose the second solution. There are several steps required to make it successful: the first one is to stop earth‘s rotation to rotate – then they make the earth to fly to the Jupiter – then they make use of the attraction of the Jupiter’s [gravitational pull] to make the earth to turn around and then fly 2000 years to another planet.

Be careful not to use the word “TO” before a verb twice (two times) in a sentence – only use “TO” before a verb once.

e.g. to make the earth to fly vs. to make the earth fly

Maybe the environmental issues for the earth is are more and more serious so people are worrying about the Earth. Maybe this is one of the reasons.  I think it would be a cool if we could live on another planet.
