Chủ đề: Lời chào từ nước Mỹ!

Chào Sammy,

Tôi đang ở Mỹ và có một khoảng thời gian rất tuyệt! Chúng tôi đã đến vào thứ Tư và thăm đài tưởng niệm Lincoln và Georgetown. Georgetown là một khu vực lịch sử ở Washington, D.C. Thức ăn ở đây rất ngon. Tôi đã ăn một một cái xúc xích. Nó là đồ ăn đường phố truyền thống của người Mỹ. Tôi thực sự rất thích nó. Ngày mai, chúng tôi sẽ đi đến Nhà Trắng cùng hướng dẫn viên du lịch và đi thuyền dọc theo sông Potomac. Chúng tôi sẽ đến Bảo tàng Hàng không và Vũ trụ Quốc gia vào ngày cuối cùng của chúng tôi ở Washington, D.C. Vào thứ Sáu, chúng tôi sẽ đi chuyến bay về thành phố New York. Tôi rất mong được đi trên phà Staten Island để xem Tượng Nữ thần Tự do và đến Sân vận động Yankee. Thời tiết ở đây ấm áp và đầy nắng và người dân rất thân thiện. Tôi hy vọng bạn đang tận hưởng kỳ nghỉ hè của bạn khi trở lại London. Ước gì bạn có mặt ở đây.

SOLAR ENERGY

Sunlight carries huge amounts of energy. You can feel the Sun’s energy when sunlight warms your skin on a summer day. To capture the Sun’s energy, scientists have developed solar cells, called photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into electricity.

When sunlight hits a solar cell, some of the light energy is absorbed. This light energy causes the particles in the solar cell to move faster, and the movement of these particles creates electricity.

In some places, large panels of solar cells harvest sunshine to make electricity for homes and businesses. Solar cells have been placed on cars and appliances, too. Since the Sun sends abundant free energy streaming toward Earth 24 hours a day, people in many parts of the world, not just the sunniest places, have fixed solar cells and solar panels on the roofs of their houses or businesses to lower their energy costs.

Experts say that the huge installation of solar panels in sunny regions could generate

enough electricity to supply an entire country. Capturing this energy can help overcome our diminishing energy supply. New ways  to capture this energy are being developed an

the time to maximize efficiency.
