내가 가장 좋아하는 꽃 🌸

내가 가장 좋아하는 꽃은 벚꽃입니다.
봄이 오면 나무에 작은 꽃들이 피기 시작합니다. 벚꽃은 분홍색이고 아주 예쁩니다.

나는 봄이 되면 친구들과 함께 벚꽃을 보러 갑니다. 공원이나 강변에는 많은 벚꽃이 있습니다. 벚꽃 아래에서 우리는 사진을 찍고, 함께 웃으며 즐거운 시간을 보냅니다. 때때로 돗자리를 깔고 앉아 맛있는 음식을 먹기도 합니다.

바람이 불면 벚꽃잎이 하늘에서 천천히 떨어집니다. 마치 눈이 내리는 것처럼 아름답습니다. 그 순간이 너무 좋아서 나는 오래오래 기억하고 싶습니다.

벚꽃은 아주 짧은 시간 동안만 핍니다. 그래서 더 소중하고 특별하게 느껴집니다. 꽃이 져도 나는 벚꽃을 다시 기다립니다. 내년 봄이 오면 또 볼 수 있기 때문입니다.

벚꽃을 보면 기분이 좋아지고, 마음이 따뜻해집니다. 그래서 나는 벚꽃을 가장 좋아합니다. 여러분은 어떤 꽃을 좋아하나요? 😊

My Favorite Flower 🌸

My favorite flower is cherry blossoms.
When spring comes, small flowers start to bloom on the trees. Cherry blossoms are pink and very beautiful.

When spring arrives, I go to see cherry blossoms with my friends. There are many cherry blossom trees in parks and along the riverside. Under the cherry blossoms, we take pictures, laugh together, and have a great time. Sometimes, we sit on a picnic mat and eat delicious food.

When the wind blows, cherry blossom petals slowly fall from the sky. It looks as beautiful as falling snow. I love that moment so much that I want to remember it forever.

Cherry blossoms bloom for only a short time. That is why they feel more special and precious. Even after the flowers fall, I still look forward to them. When spring comes again next year, I can see them once more.

Seeing cherry blossoms makes me happy and warms my heart. That is why I love cherry blossoms the most. What is your favorite flower? 😊

SWE 62 On the Road Again Driving to Vegas - Willie Nelson Song

The European Union (EU) has encouraged citizens across the continent to stockpile food, water and other essentials to last at least 72 hours as war, cyberattacks, climate change and disease increase the chances of a crisis.

The call to action for the EU's 450 million citizens comes as the 27-nation bloc rethinks its security, especially after Donald Trump's US administration warned that Europe must take more responsibility for it.

In recent years, the EU has been forced to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, and the threat from Russia, including its attempts to exploit Europe's dependence on its natural gas to weaken support for Ukraine.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned that Russia could be capable of launching another attack in Europe by 2030.

"Today's threats facing Europe are more complex than ever, and they are all interconnected," said Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib as she shared a new strategy for dealing with future disasters.

While the commission is keen not to be seen as alarmist, Lahbib said it's important "to make sure people have essential supplies for at least 72 hours in a crisis." She listed food, water, flashlights, ID papers, medicine and radios as things to stock.

Lahbib said the EU should build up a "strategic reserve" and stockpile other critical resources including firefighting planes; medical, energy and transport equipment; and specialized assets against chemical, biological and nuclear threats.

The EU's plans are similar to those in France, Finland and Sweden.

Last year, Sweden updated its civil emergency advice "to better reflect today's security policy reality" such as what to do in case of nuclear attack.

Not all EU countries have the same level of crisis preparedness, and the commission also wants to encourage them to coordinate better in case of emergency.

President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said: "New realities require a new level of preparedness in Europe."
