More and more people traveling by air
More and more people are traveling by air. I think the reasons why people are starting to travel by air is because it is more convenient ,faster, safer than other ways.
As Koreans , everyone has experience of traffic jam. Traffic jams is a big annoyance and it exert a bad influence on people when they have meetings. If people are traveling by car they usually have traffic jams so traffic jams are the big reason why more people are traveling by air. Also airplanes are the most comfortable way to travel . If you travel by car for long time, it is not comfortable . Maybe you will tired but if you travel by airplane, you can listen to music and watch movies while you are traveling . Also, you can sleep comfortably.
Second reason why more and more people are traveling by airplanes are faster than other travel by car and train . For example, if you go to Busan from Seoul by bus , it will take about 6 hours by trains (KTX) it will take about two hours and 50 minutes. Buses and trains take such a long time but, if you go to Busan from Seoul , I take just 55 minutes. Airplane is faster than other ways.
Fnally, my last reason why more and more people are traveling by air is because it is safer than other ways. For example, car accident percentage is 21.85%. That is very high percent but airplane accident percentage is just 0.1%. That percent is very low than car accident percent.
nce airplanes are faster, more comfortable, and safer, it becoming more and more popular every day.

But Brazil needs more land for industry or farms. Some people want to build roads and buildings so, they will cut down the forests.

Many people are wearing mask

Many people are wearing masks

These days people wear masks a lot. People wearing masks for different purpose. These days most big three purpose are to prevent H1N1 flu, the cold weather, and to protect from dirt.

So many people have the H1N1 flu and it is contagious so people should prevent against the H1N1 flu. In the world, 300,000 people have had the H1N1 flu, and 3,000 people have died from it. In Korea, 10,000 people have had the H1N1 flu. 40 people died because the H1N1 flu. But the normal flu is more dangerous than the H1N1 flu because 4,000 people have died from the normal flu, but only 3,000 people have died from the H1N1 flu.
Why are many people wearing masks? The second reason is the weather. The weather is so cold so we should prevent the cold air from going into the lungs. People should protect the face from the wind and make the face warm.
The final reason is to protect from dirt. For example, people should protect the lungs from flying dust, to protect the face from spit or to protect body from viruses. Dust is bad for your health.
