There is no such thing as natural disaster. In fact, because of our egoistic, we causes the disaster to happen. We cannot blame the term 'natural disaster'. Even "Hazards are natural events". What makes a hazard into a disaster depends primarily on the way a society is ordered. Human systems place some people more at risk than others. The government replace the forest into high-rise building that buffer rainfall. Humankind built houses right in the flood path and blame it as a natural disaster. But after all,
disasters are “natural” in the sense that loss of life and relatively greater loss of property which happens when earthquakes(Tsunami)hit us. As natural events, disasters are nobody’s fault.

Choose a comedian (Local or International) write in about 200 words as to why you think that he/she is the best comedian. Describe him/her.

I like Stephen Chow or he is well known as Chow Sing Chi. He is a very big and great comedian, he was born in 1962, June 22. I love all of his film especially 'Fight Back To School 1,2,3'. In every words or acting that he did, I will laugh and I'll never feel boring whenever I watch his film. Even if I watch it so many times, I'll never stop laughing. For me, he is different from other comedian. He is super natural and talented just like what other says "A comic says funny things; a comedian says things funny." He could bring any type of character in film, he act like real one. He's not just acting in fighting scenes for fun but he wants to show his purport and trust toward Kung-Fu. He's not just acting but he feel the character, he understand because the real success is the serenest understanding of life. He suffered in his early life before he becomes famous, even when he is famous he will never forget about his dream of Kung fu. That's why I respect him as a comedian and actor. Most of his film is base on his experiences. He jokes to make people laugh and forget the unhappy moments. A real comedian will never make jokes just for fun but to gives people see that life is not bad at all.
