He explained how a lot of the money spent on candles(蜡烛)used for light (this was before electricity) could be saved if everyone woke up earlier and went to bed earlier. Even though Franklin's idea had a clear meaning, most people didn't want to get up earlier than they had to. Who would It was not until 1907 that an Englishman named William Willet came up with a way to make the sun set(落下)late. His idea was to turn clocks forward by 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, for a total of 80 minutes. William's idea was laughed at, at first. But when World War I started in 1914, many countries decided they had to save energy for the war, and they put Willet's idea into use. Summer time has other uses. The more time you spend outside playing, the less time you are spending in front of the computer or the TV. These things also use energy. However, summer time sometimes causes problems. For example, China used it in 1986, but it was stopped in 1991. That was because the temperatures are quite different from North to South and time from East to West. If the people from northwest part of China use summer time, sometimes they have to get up to work when it is not very bright outside. That will cause some trouble for them. Still, most parts of the world do have summer time, and most people look forward to the extra hour of evening light.

  Dear Roni,

  Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

  The country near Florence is so beautiful-hills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋顶) of the houses look so nice far away.

  I am afraid I am getting bigger-the food here is so delicious!

Love,

Akemi

  Hi Roni,

  I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

  I spend each morning on the beach(海滩) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

  One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

  How I miss you!

  Dear Roni,

  Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

  Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

  I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

  And when we find something green--a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

  See you in September,

Kim
