Reflection :
Adrian mole has a lot of troubles. All problems make him exhausted while he is living.
A pimple, various things, troubles between his parents, it makes him exhausted.
But there are some consolations like 14 years old girl who insist the equality of the both sexes, 89 years old person who is chain smoker and best friend who is ill-mannered.
All they help mole with remove his shy personality. he believe he is an intellectual.
of course, he is poet. he bought letter paper which is colorful , wrote poet and sent it to BBC broadcast station.
A dog , unlucky thing, bad health follow him.
I think that the topic in this book is included in the word " the adolescent boy's diary " The name of this book is secret diary, but it is list of trivial boy's day. it is just episode of life. There are no heaviness of life. just smiling and sympathizing, it is full of such lightness. and also it includes main character experience strange change and psychological feeling of uneasiness. but, he is maturing through other people. Also I am in adolescent. while I was reading this book. I thought it was little boring but this book express our life well. When we become an adult, if we think about adolescent, we will smile because that was pure day. A diary means private and individual record as reading these book.
we can sympathize with main character and also these book remind us of our memories. I realized the only thing that is important to us is to remove pimple, how we would spend tough test times, the imagination of who I would married in the future; these thoughts will support my adolescent. I think it is the topic and merit of this book.

Global warming
I will introduce diverse efforts to prevent Global warming.
The global warming means that the earth temperature becomes rising due to the increased greenhouse gasses.
If earth temperature rise, the ice berg would be melting.
the sea water temperature substantially goes down.
It means that abnormal climate spoils food chain and also takes away our beautiful place.
To protect ourselves from global warming, We should protect the environment.
Some time ago I saw a newspaper article written as "To cope with the global warming, only 10 year left." If we cannot decrease the carbon dioxide emmision, the main culprit of the global warming within this 10 years, we cannot correct the situations.
We do not have enough time. We all need to do our best efforts to overcome the problem.
That starts from small thing that we do.
First, To protect ourselves from global warming, we shouldn't destroy Ozone.
Ozone can be shield to block the sun's ray. A amount of the sun's ray can cause Global warming.
So, we do not use hair spray. It makes freon gas which destroy Ozone.
Second, the Use the public transportation. Using the cars also causes the global warming. The exhaust fumes of the cars give off a lot of carbon dioxide. If you don't drive a car per 2km, you can reduce the use of the car's exhaust gases about 600kg.
Third, we should minimize the use of air conditioners and heaters. During summer or winter, a lot of people always turn on the air conditioner or heater even when they are a little bit hot or cold. They give off lots of freon gas. Freon gas also cause the global warming. Especially raise the air conditioner's air cooling temperature in summer, and wear winter-weigh clothes to be able to rise our body temperature in winter.
Last, We can also plant trees. The trees absorb the carbon dioxide and emit the oxygen. Therefore, it can reduce the amount of the carbon dioxide in the air by planting many trees
On this wise, There are many ways to prevent the global warming what more. We should take care about the global warming and find something around you to solve this problem.
