·         The Mongolians used this road to rule Eastern Europe and Russia before

-          Natural resources that come out of Kazakstan are petroleum, iron, copper, etc.

-          But the HOLOCAUST had happened in Europe [[holocaust is the mass killing]]

·         6 million Jews were killed by Hitler and Nazis

-          The reason why Hitler killed the Jews are because…

·         Hitler believed that the Aryan Race is white race [[คนขาวเท่านั้นที่ถูก ไรประมาณนี้]]

·         He believed that the Jews and Gypsy were inferior

-          After the Holocaust, Americans feel pity and sorry for the Jews, so they moved the Jews to the land called Israel -____-^^^

 

-          2/3 of the Middle East is desert [[most Israel live in Middle East]]

·         So the people say that the next three years, they will fight for water [[war of water]]

2.      Study and find new plants that soak up water not the salt , but this process need to take a lot of time

3.      Grow trees to stop erosion [[so when the wind blow, the sand won’t fly awayyyyy 5555+]]

ð Moshavim = small farming villages [[farmer combine their money to buy equipment, tell each other about farming method, etc.]]

ð Kibbutz = small settlement that cooperate in everything [[like eat, work, share profits together equally]] but there’s no pay!!
