Exploration is important for countries and can influence countries very much.Countries can find useful products by exploration. Exploration is a dangerous but really helpful task. If the exploration comes back successfully, explorer can take much useful resources. Every significant exploration could push the country's development. It might influence the land, the population, or the culture in a country.What products were found can influence a country? Approaches and foods and culture can make the country progress. They are three examples. In one word,exploration is really important.
Approaches between countries are really important. It can promote the relationship between countries. Countries can exchange and disseminate their special and colorful culture by the approach. Visibly, the approach is like an important bridge, but how to find this important bridge. Answer is exploration. In the history of the world, many approaches that were found had given many benefits to countries. For instance, Zhang Si had found the Silk Road Marco Polo traveled to China along the Silk Road, he had made Chinese silk well-known. Jian Zhen had gone to Japan and disseminated Chinese culture, he had gotten reverence from Japanese. Marco Polo had gone to China for several years, he had written a book about the time that he had spent in China. This book made many foreigners know China and want to visit China. What ever people want to do, visit or disseminate, approaches are indispensable. So, the conclusion is approaches between countries are really important.
Foods are important for human. In China, old people often say foods are like sky for people. Every country has their special and immovable foods. Foods also need to be found and exchange. What foods belong to different countries that I know? For example, Chinese like to eat noodles and dumpling, Canadian like to eat salmon, Korean like to eat rice and pickled vegetable, Japanese like to eat sashimi... Western people like to eat cold and rawish foods, eastern people like to eat hot and ripe foods. Really different! Really colorful! What can help people to find the food? Approaches. How to find approaches? Exploration. For instance, Cabot had found fishes that people could eat. It is a good example to prove this thought. Now, people are in different countries like eating the foreign food very much. Merit should belong to the exploration. It made explorer find the approach between two countries, and then, people can exchange the products, including foods.
Exploration also can influence the culture. People in different countries can exchange their colorful cultures. For example, Canada has "China Town", words in Japan, many countries celebrate Christmas Day... Cartier talked to Indian and used knives to exchange furs with Indians. Exploration can make people go to new region, find new products, make new friends. And then, people can communicate. Many benefits from exploration that people can get. So, exploration is important for the culture.
Exploration is really important. It like a bridge. Communicating with the other countries, exchanging products ... If you want to get something, you need to pay very much. Although people do not like to pay. Exploration is one of the thing that people can pay. People can get products that they really need to have by exploration. It can help people find approaches to promote the relationship. It can help people to find more foods that can make people healthier. It can influence the culture. A country can't lack the exploration.

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?t...Here is a cute animal which has beautiful fur. It opened beautiful and big eyes to see this world. However, I don't see happiness from its eyes. Its eyes permeated sadness. It looks really lamentable, and seems to see this world with innovatory mind-set. Praying merciless hunters cease to kill them to sell their furs.
www.gan.ca/.../myths+and+facts.en.html
Animals carcasses without furs, be killed by really scary way. Their dead bodies were exposed in cold winter. The fur trade is one of the most babylonian transactions. It hurts nature and innocent animals very much. Hunters killed animals and sold their furs for the personal benefit.
aquapontiac.ca/anglais/fourrures_a.htmFrench trade. Indian sold the fur to French, it's a representative fur trad. French gave Indian bullion to exchange the fur. Indian might be really happy to get bullion, because they had money to set their tribe, but in another point of view to remark it know how many animals that they killed. Human can't imagine how much suffering that animals need to sustain. In other words, Indian got their happiness by animals' suffering. The organisms are equal in the world.
cat-chitchat.pictures-of-cats.org/2008/03/cat...It's a picture of a small warehouse which stockpile the fur. In this warehouse, we can see the fur anywhere. People stockpile these for making money by the fur trade. Actually, people can make money by using different and legitimate methods. The fur trade is not only a nonlicet method, but also a merciless way to make money. "Peel off the animal's skin" is a event that sounds really scary.
www.guardian.co.uk/environment/gallery/2007/d Peddlers were selling the fur to customers. Now, the hunter still kill the animals, one of the most important reason is the peddlers always have customers. If people don't buy the fur along, the fur trade will not exist in the world, bagging animals will be a thing that disappear in the world. Killing animals not only is a pain of animals, it also a pain of nature and human. Cherishing lives, putting an end to kill animals!

Literary Essay
What is bravery? It means people who are not afraid danger and difficulty. In the world's history, many national heroes demonstrates bravery by themselves. For example, Washington, an American hero. Some heroes are not in wars. For instance, Alighieri Donte and Willian Shakespeare. They showed their bravery by different ways. In the stories "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "The Sniper", two main character are brave, but their bravery are different.The Republican sniper shows his bravery by fighting with enemies. His perseverance is really strong. Sir Gawain shows his bravery by keeping the promise and facing of the death. He is a man of his word. Both of them are heroes.
Sir Gawain is the bravest one in the story "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". Being true to his promise shows him brave.Protecting the king also tells readers that he is brave. Sir Gawain is one of members in the Round Table. People in that country said that all of them were brave, but when the Green Knight was coming and asked," 'Are you all cowards?' ", no one answered, Sir Gawain was only one who went to talk with the Green Knight and protect the king."A young knight named Sir Gawain stepped forward" and said," 'Hand me that axe, and I will strike your laughing head from your body!' " The ending of this event is Sir Gawain assents the Green Knight's requirement: cut the Green Knight's head and went to the Green Knight's castle in one year. Sir Gawain is young, but he has enough brave to step forward. He is a protagonist that is brave, because, although he doesn't want to die, he isn't afraid death. Keeping a promise is a good example that is easy to say but hard to do. Sir Gawain is true to his promise, and facing of death with brave and free mood. For instance, Sir Gawain went to find the Green Knight. He met a person named Lady Westall. Lady Westall wanted to help him and said, " 'You must escape right now...I will help you.' " But Sir Gawain said, " 'I don't want to die, I want to live, but I must keep promise.' " Everyone in the world wants to live, most of people don't want to face of death if they have way to run away. Sir Gawain has a chance to live, but he doesn't because of his promise. Bravery is not just doing something that you are afraid to do, it also is doing something which you know the ending is bad. Finally,my conclusion is Sir Gawain is the bravest one in the story "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". At least, he is braver than the other knights. He protects the king and is true to his promise. He acts the characteristic hero image. He is bravery's incarnation.
In the story "The Sniper", one character who is brave is the Republican sniper. He dares to go to kill the enemy can show he is brave, because it's a really dangerous mission. When he was found by enemies, he didn't run away, he used his bravery and wisdom to be successful. So, he is the bravest one. In that time, society that had two rival parties was confused. People were nervous, because people might be killed anytime, especially snipers. The Republican sniper dared to kill the Free Starter sniper demonstrates how much bravery that he had. He was a young man, “his face was the face of a student” most of people in this age are afraid of death, because they still have, because they still have much time to spend with their families and friends. However, the Republican sniper went to do it that might make him die. Death is scary for people. Being a sniper is a hard choice, it’s a dangerous, hard, and tiring job. The Republican sniper chose this job, and received this mission. No one would like a job that is easy to kill him, except the Republican sniper. He has a young life. It’s enough to demonstrate the Republican sniper is brave. Another example that can show the sniper is brave is he uses his bravery and wisdom to fight with enemies. His arm was injured, but he didn't give up and run away. If he wasn't brave, he has run away already. Some sentences in the story shows his pain is serious, “And his arm was paining him like a thousand angry knives… his arm shook with the recoil.” The sniper was injured by enemies. The arm is important for a sniper. Life is the most important for every. When people are injured, most of them will give up their missions to save life. The Republican sniper didn't give up, he continue to fight with enemies. What a brave sniper! In the story “The Sniper”, the Republican is like a hero. He has done something that people couldn't finish. In one word, he is the bravest one!
Bravery can be showed by many ways. The Republican sniper and Sir Gawain are two examples, but their intentions are same. Both of them show bravery’s meaning. Sir Gawain went to face of death for keeping his promise. The Republican sniper fought with enemies with his pain for finishing his mission. Al though they have different aims, they show the same spirit.
Sir Gawain is the bravest one in the story "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". Being true to his promise shows him brave.Protecting the king also tells readers that he is brave.

He considered that was African eastern seaboard. He found North America was earlier than Columbus. And then, he went back, but not just found it. John Cabot took many new resources for people. Food was the most important one, he found cods, a kind of fish. He found a region which had many cods. He was a hero for people.Bonus

A Terrible Morning...=_=KK
This morning, I was very sleepy, so , I didn't have clear thoughts. I did everything more slowly, and I didn't have enough time. I might can't arrive at school on time. If it became truth...Ms Cui would kill Me!!!! And then, I went out, I ran more and more fast. Unluckily, when I arrived at the subway station, I found a bad thing: I forgot bringing my lovely subway card with me!!!! I went back to my home, but when I arrived at school, I found another bad thing: this morning I would have a test, but I forgot to take my textbook!!!! =_= =_= =_= ...
What a terrible morning...
