Dear Harald,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this
morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told
me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the
illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a
shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your
sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your
mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for
your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to
your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The
heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However,
it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.
Your sincere friend,
Jack

A long time ago, there lived on
the island of Bali a giant-like creature named Kebo Iwo. The people of Bali
used to say that Kebo Iwo was everything, a destroyer as well as a creator. He
was satisfied with the meal, but this meant for the Balinese people enough food
for a thousand men.
Difficulties arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the new harvest was
still a long way off. This made Kebo Iwo wild with great anger. In his hunger,
he destroyed all the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn
to rage.
So, they came together to plan
steps to oppose this powerful giant by using his stupidity. They asked Kebo Iwo
to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples he had
destroyed. After they fed Kebo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole.
One day he had eaten too much,
he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village gave a sign, and the
villagers began to throw the limestone they had collected before into the hole.
The limestone made the water inside the hole boiling . Kebo Iwo was buried
alive. Then the water in the well rose higher and higher until at last it
overflowed and formed Lake Batur. The mound of earth dug from the well by Kebo
Iwo is known as Mount Batur.

Many floods are
directly related to weather change. Flooding is caused by extremely high rates
of rainfall or an unusually long period of rain. Additionally, areas that experience
a great deal of snow in winter are prone to springtime flooding when the snow
and ice melt, especially if the thaw is relatively sudden. Furthermore,
rainfall and snowmelt can sometimes combine to cause floods.
Floods also occur as a result of a
unique combination of factors that only indirectly involve weather conditions.
For instance, a low-lying beach area has the potential to flooding whenever the
ocean is at high tide. Exceptionally high tides may occur due to storms caused
by a combination of factors, like low barometric pressure and high winds.
Finally, floods sometimes can occur regardless of the climate. Seismic waves on
the sea or large lakes that are caused by earthquakes are some examples. Volcanic
heating and rapid melting of snow atop a volcanic mountain or under a glacier,
or even failures of natural or man-made dams are other examples.
38.

to its completion.
During my studies I have held the post of Executive in the Management
Society. While leading and organizing Management Society activities I have
improved my ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively, ability
to work under pressure and ability to work in a team environment.
