The life of journalist is very interesting. He does not wait for news to reach him, instead he runs out looking for news. Sometimes, when he runs for news, his life falls into danger.

A journalist tries to bring first hand news, such as unexpected news of a plane crash, a bomb explosion or an earthquake. He wants to make these as headlines in his newspaper.
Crime is another area which creates news and stirs everybody. Crimes such as murder, burglary, child abuse and sale of drugs capture the eye of the news reporter. He also runs into war-tam areas to give us first hand news. These areas probably push his life into danger.

A journalist also covers events of popular interest, such as sports, fashions and leisure. He also pays attention to social issues such as schooling, housing, and poverty. A journalist also covers routine events such as the arrival of a distinguished person or a holding of a special function.

A good journalist must have a responsibility of expressing his news items accurately and impartially. If anyone wants to be a good journalist he must have a good education and a wide knowledge in different subjects. He also must be curios and get on well to gather information from the public. Finally he must enjoy his writings and should work at any times of the day or night.                 

Sports and Games are very important to human beings. We must start doing sports and games from our early childhood. The most important point is to develop both body and mind by giving them exercise. Sports and games make our bodies strong and healthy. Thus in turn they help to keep our minds healthy too. Games such as cricket, volleyball, netball, football, and tennis give practice in making our eyes, brain, and muscles work together.

Sports and games help us to build our characters. Playing a game like cricket we need unity, if not the spirit of the team is destroyed. To develop this spirit we need qualities such as patience, courage and a sense of responsibility. All these qualities together prepare us to live as good citizen in the future.

In sports we also get an opportunity to share experiences with participants from other countries. This is one of the objectives of modern Olympic Games. They also provide and opportunity to bring the nations of the world together every four years.

Finally I can say that sports and games are help to build our personality.

The word Tsunami comes from the Japanese tsu (harbor) and nami (wave), and it refers to tidal waves formed by underwater earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and even the impact of cosmic bodies, such as meteorites.

Can you imagine that they can be faster than 400 miles per hours in the deep ocean? Although Tsunamis are called tidal waves, this is really not correct, as tides have nothing to do with them though the damage may be worse if a Tsunami hits at high tide. They are formed in deep water and may only be inches or a few feet high. But when it reaches a shoreline it becomes a wall of water that can be a mile high. The Japanese name was adopted because almost 80 percent of all Tsunami occur in the Pacific Ocean and Japan has suffered many, some coming from as away as South America.

Since 1990, there have been 82 Tsunamis, out of which 10 have claimed more than 4,000 lives. Tsunamis can savagely attack coastlines, causing devastating properly damage and loss of life.

According to researchers, there is a significant rise both in numbers of waves and in death tolls over the century. Up until now the average per decade has been 57. the increase in Tsunamis reported is due to improved global communications, the high death are partly due to the increase of people living in coastal areas.

One of the worst Tsunami disasters affected to Sri Lanka in 26th of December 2004.
