The earthquake in China

The reason that I choose this article is because it happened near my home town Chengdu the capital city of Sichuan Province, and it's caused lots of people died and lots of people homeless. This major earthquake was happened in 12th of May, it measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale struck Wenchuan county. This is the biggest earthquake in the past 30 years.

It is a disaster for the local people, there are thousands of people died and serious injured in this earthquake. Lots of people lost there hope. But the Chinese government has very fast to responded of this emergency situation. Thousands of soldiers have been sent to the region around Sichuan to support all the effected by the disaster. The victims also got help from the international red cross.

After the earthquake there are lots of things need Chinese people to do, the victims from the earthquake also need help for a very long time. However, through this disaster people in China become more unit and brave. They just need time to built their home and hope again.

Globalization of sports

Globalization is a situation happening in ours every day's life, It has changed lots of aspects in ours life. It also has changed the sports industry in my country. Sports is a world wide special communicate way for all the people around the world, but before it was just developing at every single country. Globalisation has changed the situation in world sports industry.
As we know, twenty or thirty years ago the soccer industry in Europe was very closed, like in English soccer league they only use their own country's players, it was hardly to see a foreign player. but through globalization nowadays every thing has changed. we can see lots of foreign players play in English football clubs also it is very common to see in other country. The reason I talk about this because it also has changed in my country. Chinese soccer players go and play in England, Germany or other countries. Foreign players come to China play soccer in Chinese clubs. It not just changing in soccer other sports also has been changed.
China is good at table tennis, diving and volleyball so nowadays some of good players seek to have more matches and earning more money they choose go another country which an pay for them more money, also lots of professional people move to other countries.
It has caused China loss strength slowly. However, we also import professional sports player to China from other country to improve ours weak sports project. This is how the globalization changing in Chinese sports .
