The National Geographic Almanac is unique because of the variety of photographs, captions and the life skills advice the book provides readers.
The almanac features photographs of unique inventions like a tent with solar panels and a jet powered surfboard. I live in Hawaii, so these two inventions would be enjoyable to use. There is also a photograph of a motorcycle that seats four people and a sloth shaped robot that monitors the temperature and carbon dioxide levels.
The almanac also features photographs that capture the natural beauty of the world. There is a stunning photographs of mountains in Chile. There is a picture of a swimming hole in Samoa. There is a photo of a row of colorful houses along a river in Norway. I did not have an opinions of these places before, but now I do These photos are so inviting. The interesting fact is that I would not have been able to locate any of these on a map before, but now I can at least point to the correct continent that are on. My knowledge of geography has sharpened because of some these photos.
The three captions I found most unique are about the continents of Africa and North America. I learned the film industry is huge in Nigeria and the oldest university in the world can be found in Morocco. I learned that the Bahamas has underwater caves and pink sand. I am amazed by all of these facts and want to visit these places to see these three sights in person.
Any advice on how to improve myself is helpful. The almanac offers tips on how to write a perfect essay. The most helpful piece of advice is to write a clear topic sentence and support my paragraphs with details. There are also tips on how to write a persuasive letter. I have been writing more letters recently, so this information will come in handy. I can't cook a complicated dish, so I appreciate any advice on how to cook simple. There is a recipe for a cheese quesadilla with zucchini which sounds delicious. This almanac is for all readers because of the variety of information contained.
