Yosemite and Yellowstone Parks

Yosemite – National Park

The oldest of the National Parks is not Yellowstone, as many people think, but Yosemite. Yosemite was discovered in 1849, during the California Gold Rush by a man who was following an injured grizzly bear.
“Yosemite”, in fact, came from the name the Awhanee Indians had given to the grizzly bear. Sadly, grizzlies have died out here now, but there are still plenty of black bears.
Stories of Yosemite’s beauty had spread and travelers began to arrive to see it. But as more settlers came west, those who loved Yoesemite were afraid that the valley soon would be full of farms and colonists, and lost to the public forever.
In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln decided that Yosemite should be kept for the American people for all time, and the idea of the national parks was born. At first national parks had to be protected by the cavalry. These men on horses had to keep out hunters (who wanted to kill the deer and stag), and farmers with their livestock. For many years, the Rangers have been looking after the National Parks and have helped people to understand and enjoy them.
But tourists can be a problem, too. If more and more people come to the Parks, more and more roads, trails, car parks, etc. will be needed. As each of these gets built, a little bit of nature will be lost.
Yosemite is home to nearly 2,000 varieties of plants and animals, including giant sequoias. It is world famous for its geology with tall waterfalls and granite rocks too.


Yellowstone- National Park

Yellowstone was dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring ground for the enjoyment of the people in 1872. Its a preservation of mineral deposits, natural curiosities and wonders.
The commanding features that attracted interest and led to the preservation of Yellowstone as a national park, were geological: the geothermal phenomena (there are more geysers and hot springs here than in the rest of the world combined), the colorful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, fossil forests, and the size and elevation (2350m) of Yellowstone Lake.
Yellowstone is famous for its hooved mammals, such as bison, elk and bighorn sheep. These animals live in groups by the hundreds. More solitary are the moose, mule deer, mountain goats and white tailed deer which are quite rare. In Yellowstone there are grizzly and black bears too. Grizzly bears are classified as a threatened species.
One of the specialities of Yellowstone is the Yellowstone Lake, which is situated in the middle of the park. The Lake has bright water and is 100 m deep. Southwards from the lake springs the source of the Yellowstone River.
Hot springs and geysers are very well known. The colour of hot springs, ranging from blue, to orange, to yellow, to black, is caused by the water’s temperature, algae, minerals, reflection and absorption of the light by particles in the water. The largest hot spring in Yellowstone is Grand Prismatic Spring. Geysers are hot springs which periodically erupt as pressure mounts deep under the surface. Some geysers erupt every minute, some remain inactive for years. The park contains 150 to 200 geysers, including Old Faithful which erupts approximately every 81 minutes.
One of the next extras are Mud Pots. Mud Pots are another form of hot springs. Hot water mixes with clay and minerals. They can be very colourful, depending on the mineral content. Sometimes they are called “paint pots”.

Advertisement

What it is advertisement and where we can find it ? Well, there are a lot of kinds of advertisement. For example a lot of pages of advertisements in newspapers, magazines and journals. There are also billboards { which sometimes caurse car disasters, Eva Hercig`s advertisement of wonderbra }, but also the less favorite – paper advertisement.
And which advertisements are the most common ? Of course advertisements, which we can see on television.
There are o lot of interesting and quite funny advertisements, which you like watching but most of them aren’t very successful.
Advertisements play quite big role in the strategy of big, international and well known companies. These firms { for example producing mobiles, cars…} are usually very rich so they can give great amounts to creative people and firms in which they work. The most important thing for these giant firms is to have their advertisement witty, to captivate potential customers and stay in their mind { they use music, nice actors and actresses, jokes and favorite { sexual } catchwords}. The most important is to stay in customers` mind for a long time and to pleasant not to be strong and pedant.
…And then you might buy that nice mobile or a washing powder with that nice smell…
I would like to tell you about four advertisements.
First advertisement is for mobile Oscar. There are two people – father and his son. They stay on the iced pond and want to let a fish go. My opinion is that this advertisement is nice and easy. I feel good humor when I watch this advertisement.
On the opposite side is the second one – it is an advertisement for chocolate Fidorka. There are three people a man, his girlfriend { maybe }and a little girl with her doll. This girl wants the Fidorka, which this woman holds, sitting near the man in the car. The girl throws her doll at the car and airbags start to working so the girl can easily take woman’s chocolate. And atthe end she says to her doll : when you have to, so you have to: .
Isn’t it horrible ? I think so. My opinion is that it is very bad design for children.
The third one is advertisement for good water which is also witty and nice. And the last one is advertisement of all insets. I think that it is not dignified for women.
Are there an advantages of advertisement ? Yes, of course, there are. You know about the products, you can use advertisement to choose the best product and so on. And what about disadvantages ? I think only a few firms are able to make advertisements good and well done, so you don`t have such a big choice of small firms goods. Other thing is, that they use a lot of paper for that paper advertisements…and nobody reads it…
How does advertisement influent me ? Well, I’m not robot, so I remember the products and sometimes I buy them… For example shampoos, clothes and so on. But it also depends on the price and quality.
