Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

a)

b)

c)

Tsunami

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

A tsunami washes ashore with oftendisastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows very large.

Tsunami happened because of.....

a)

b)

When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing catch on each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving.

How to Build Confidence?

Self-confidence is one of very important parts of humanity. Someone with self-confidence generally likes themselves and thinks positively about their future. A person who lacks of self-confidence, however, tend to be pessimistic and is less likely to feel that they can achieve their goals in life. The good news is that self-confidence is something you can build! So, how to build your self-confidence?

First of all, you need to identify your negative thoughts because your negative thoughts will always whisper like this: "I can't do that," "Many people say that I will not succeed", "no one understands my efforts." These pessimistic thoughts will hold you back from achieving high self-esteem and greater self-confidence.

After identifying your negative thoughts, you must turn them to positive thoughts. You must be more energized to prove that all of those pessimistic thoughts are incorrect. This may be started by having the positive affirmations to overcome those negative perspectives, such as "I am going to try it," "I can be successful if I work at it," or "people will listen to me." You must try to repeat these sentences over and over to burn your spirits.

Next, you should refuse negative thoughts to occur more often than positive thoughts. Your positive thoughts should be given more “brain space” than your negative thoughts. The more you counter your negative self-thinking with positivity, the better confidence you will have.

In conclusion, as your confidence grows day by day, you must eliminate reminders of your negativity that can make you feel bad about yourself again. Always boost all of your positivity to achieve your dreams! Negativities might be reminders from the past and let the positivity become the flashlight to lighten up your map of dreams. This will go a long way in building your self-confidence up.
