May I go to the toilet?
May I go to the toilet? This question always pops up in class, and creates a really awkward but funny atmosphere. "May I go to the toilet?", such a simple phrase, but people who are currently in the flood areas aren't able to go to the toilet. Their toilet's are either flooded, or the toilet was unable to flush. So, a certain company in Thailand designed a floating toilet. The really special part of this toilet is that, there are micro organisms who would treat those waste. I find this invention really convenient and helpful, since it provides the victims of the flood a proper place to treat their waste. Well, this is a really creative way to help the flood, because have micro organisms to treat your waste was a really clever and hygienic. Since there are many concerns for the flood victims to have to live with their waste and the dirty water. This innovation fully solves this problem, and helps improve the flood's victims' environment. Maybe this floating toilet is not the most creative one, but I am sure that it is one of the most helpful innovations.

The Water Prison; Flood
The flood that is currently happening in Thailand affected a lot of families. I live in a condominium downtown, so I am really lucky that I am not affected as much as the others. Also, the area that I live in is one of the areas the government chose to protect. Despite of the direct affects such as flooding, my family is also affected. Rice, vegetable, and other groceries have increased price. The price of the groceries right now seriously made my eyes pop out, but we still brought a lot of groceries. The price of groceries are getting higher but my mom's wallet is getting thinner.
During this flood, observing what is happening on the news is a really important thing. In my opinion, the news are making the citizens panic. One certain day, my mom was in the supermarket (She was like a warrior choosing her weapons to defeat the flood ) and there were camera's shooting the situation of the groceries being sold . The camera only chose the selves that were empty. Humans are really easy to be influenced by their media, so when people start to see that most of the groceries are gone, they'll start to panic. I know that being a news reporter you need to have exciting news and news that catch people's attention, but creating more panic between the citizens isn't a really nice idea.
Due to the flood our school has closed for a REALLY LONG TIME, and day by day I feel like my brain is turning into an empty shell. We do have homework assigned online, but learning with your face towards the screen?!!! Are you joking with me?? Our laptops are seducing us to open different type’s entertainment tabs!!! Do, due to all of these reasons I really wish the school can reopen really soon. I prefer to be taught face to face instead of face to screen. Please save my brain before it really turns into an empty shell. The sun, please increase your temperature for the flood water to evaporate as fast as possible.
