Family Camping
There are many popular leisure time activities, but one of the most enjoyable is family time. Most people enjoy being with their families. There are many things to do with your family, too. Families can go to the movies, travel, visit museums, and play sports together. The most common family activity is probably camping. Many families like camping. It is a chance for the whole family to work together. They can stay in the wild. Children gather dry wood for the fire. Their parents set up the tents. Then the whole family gathers around the fire. They enjoy a special meal together. Then, they set off into the woods with a compass and a map. After hiking the trails, everyone gets a fishing pole. Each person casts the fishing line out into the river. Who gets the biggest fish? It’s a great contest. Later, the children clean the fish by the river. They take the scales off the fish. Mom fries the fish over the campfire. Dad cleans up when everyone is finished. You don’t want wild animals coming to eat your leftovers! Then everyone goes into their tents for a restful night. While there are many things that families can do together, camping is probably the most exciting

The Mekong River is believed to be formed 17 million years ago. It is the world’s 12th longest river covering 4.345 kilometres from its source in the Tibetan Plateau to the Mekong Delta. Though the Mekong River runs through 6 countries, three-fourths of the drainage area of the Mekong lies within the four countries: Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Viet Nam.
The Mekong River originates from the Sanjianyuang in the Tibetan Plateau, where a national nature reserve has been established. From the Tibetan Plateau, it passes throughTibet’s eastern part to Yunnan’s southeastern section and the Three Parallel Rivers Area. This area is known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Mekong River lies between Salween River on the west and Yangtze River on the east. From this area, the river runs for about 10 kilometers on the border between Myanmar and China before reaching the tripoint of Myanmar, China and Laos. It continues to flow southwestwards along the border of Myanmar and Laos for about 100 kilometres until it gets to a second tripoint known as Golden Triangle belonging to Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. The river then mainly flows through Laos for over 1200 kilometres before crossing Cambodia, where it is joined by the Sap River. To the end of its lower course the Mekong River enters Viet Nam where it is named Cuu Long River and finally empties into the sea through a network of distributaries.

Sông Mekong được cho là hình thành cách đây 17 triệu năm. Đây là con sông dài thứ 12 trên thế giới với chiều dài 4.345 km từ nguồn của nó ở Cao nguyên Tây Tạng đến Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long. Mặc dù sông Mekong chảy qua 6 quốc gia nhưng 3/4 diện tích thoát nước của sông Mekong nằm trong 4 quốc gia: Lào, Thái Lan, Campuchia và Việt Nam.
Sông Mekong bắt nguồn từ Sanjianyuang ở cao nguyên Tây Tạng, nơi đã thành lập khu bảo tồn thiên nhiên quốc gia. Từ cao nguyên Tây Tạng, nó đi qua phần phía đông của Tây Tạng đến phần phía đông nam của Vân Nam và Tam Giang Tịnh Lưu. Khu vực này được biết đến là Di sản Thế giới của UNESCO nơi sông Mekong nằm giữa sông Salween ở phía tây và sông Dương Tử ở phía đông. Từ khu vực này, sông chạy khoảng 10 km trên biên giới Myanmar và Trung Quốc trước khi đến ngã ba Myanmar, Trung Quốc và Lào. Nó tiếp tục chảy theo hướng tây nam dọc theo biên giới Myanmar và Lào khoảng 100 km cho đến khi gặp ngã ba thứ hai được gọi là Tam giác vàng thuộc Lào, Myanmar và Thái Lan. Con sông sau đó chủ yếu chảy qua Lào trong hơn 1200 km trước khi băng qua Campuchia, nơi nó được hợp lưu bởi sông Sáp. Đến cuối dòng hạ lưu, sông Mekong chảy vào Việt Nam nơi nó được đặt tên là sông Cửu Long và cuối cùng đổ ra biển thông qua một mạng lưới các nhánh.

Jeans are the most popular kind of clothing in the world. They are popular almost everywhere and with everybody. They are considered not just practical but very fashionable as well. But what do you know about the history of jeans? Who made the first jeans?
In 1850 Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco. He came to sell canvas, a heavy fabric used for tents, to gold miners. One day Strauss saw that the miners needed strong clothes for work. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants. These pants were very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very popular immediately. Later Strauss wanted to make his pants even better, so he started making his pants from cotton cloth that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called “denim” (from de Nimes). Denim was popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails of his ships. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pants. The word “jeans” comes from the word “Genoa”. Mr. Strauss made the first jeans in the United States, but their name and their kind of cloth came from Italy and France.
