Sentences Analysis

Ngozumpa Glacier in Nepal snakes away from the sixth highest mountain in the world, Cho Oyo.

It's not the greatest glacier to look at - far from it. It's smothered in a layer of rocky debris that's fallen from the surrounding cliffs, giving it a very grey, dirty appearance.

But Ngozumpa is generating a lot of scientific interest at the moment.

The Nepalese Himalayas have been warming significantly more than the global mean temperature in recent decades.

Glaciers in much of the region are showing signs of shrinking, thinning, and retreating; and this is producing a lot of melt water.

On Ngozumpa, some of this water is seen to pool on the surface and then drain away via a series of streams and caverns to the snout of the glacier.

There, some 25km from the mountain, an enormous lake is growing behind a mound of dumped rock fragments.

This lake, called Spillway, has the potential to be about 6km long, 1km wide and 100m deep.

The concern is that this great mass of water could eventually breach the debris dam and hurtle down the valley, sweeping away the Sherpa villages in its path. The threat is not immediate, but it's a situation that needs monitoring, say scientists.

One of the researchers at work on Ngozumpa is Ulyana Horodyskyj, from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado in Boulder, US.

My favorite book

When I was in high school, I did not like to read at all, and for me was disgusting have to read books that I did not enjoy. My mother was worried about this, because I was getting bad marks; therefore, she decided to give me a very interesting tales book.  She told me that this book would be very popular and also it would be filmed. She was right, and since then I started to read by my own initiative. 

I have read a lot of different styles books, but I enjoy most the books where you do not know what is happening next; for instance, Stephen King, who is a famous American writer, is one of my favorite authors. He is considered as one of the most successful writers of the last time and also he has written an immense variety of stories, although my favorite is the story called “Cell”. This story is about a man called Clayton Riddell who while was walking in Boylston Street in Boston see that when people answer their mobile phone, they go mad and start to behave like a zombie.

Clayton was a cartoonist and he was very happy, because he had been hired to publish his own book, he wanted to tell his wife and child that he gets a new job, but he does not call them, because he hasn’t a mobile phone. As a cartoonist that is meticulous and observant he always looked and analyzed people, so when he was walking down the street, he saw people walking the dog, buying things and also talking at the phone. Suddenly, he heard a shout; he looked and realized that some people started to fight each other without any reason; the cars were out of control, and people ran saying incoherencies. When evening came, he was really worried; everybody who has a mobile phone had gone crazy, and he remembered that his child received one as birthday present. His child, who was called Johnny, was twelve years old and he did not go anywhere without his red mobile phone. Clayton and other person, that he met escaping the disaster, decided to move, they were in Boston, and when they were walking, they saw that they were not the only people sane.

Clayton joined a group of people who wanted to reach a refugee camp; he did not know if his son and his wife would be sane. They know that the disaster had been caused by the radiation of the mobile phones. People started to call this as “The Pulse”, which was a format of human brains. They had to travel during the night, because with the day light these new type of human being were active.

When I read this book, I had a good time, it was interesting and I could not stop reading it. The end, that is unexpected, let me interested and I wanted to know what happened with the characters. The writer knows that with this end the story is more interesting, and I like that. My mother is very happy that I finally enjoy reading, and I am amazed that there is a whole world inside the books.
