A

As a kid，Yang Fan was crazy about the beauty of bubbles(气泡)．A waterfall at a river near his childhood home in Vietnam created hundreds of tiny bubbles.“I saw another world in bubbles，and I imagined how nice it would be if I could create a big bubble and be inside it，”he says.

Many years later，Yang realized that dream.He has formed bubbles around hundreds of people，made large bubbles that his daughter can walk through，and even made square bubbles.Yang calls himself a“bubble artist”and“bubble scientist”．“So far，I haven't met any other bubble scientists！”he says.

To achieve what he wanted，Yang worked hard for years.“After many years of failure，I finally came out with a bubble solution that made big bubbles with beautiful colors.”Five years later，after lots more practice and experiments，he created the world's largest bubble，which was 156 feet long.

Yang designed a program called the Gazillion Bubble Show.He has many performance tips to offer.He says it's good to make the audience feel tension(紧张)so that they are surprised at the end of a trick(把戏)．He also suggests doing performances that are fun to watch，so that the audience will stay interested the whole time.

To perform his tricks，Yang uses bubble equipment that he created himself.He wants kids to know that they're not limited(受限制的)by anything except their imaginations，and they can create whatever they want to help them follow their interests.

“To make art，you need time，love，and hard work，which guided my life and made me successful.I am proud to say that I used something simple—bubbles—and brought it to a completely new world.”

Three years ago，FFI(野生动植物保护国际组织)，an international and conservation organization，gave the warning that in Vietnam the 150 elephants were in the danger of becoming extinct.

Though the poachers(偷猎者)still cannot make elephants disappear completely from Vietnam，extinction is a foreseeable thing，if Vietnam cannot do more to protect its elephants.Frank Momberg，a representative of FFI，undertook the job of building

an elephant training center right in the central province of Dak Lak, believed to be the main land for elephants in Vietnam.At that time，people kept optimistic about the project's possibility，believing that this would help much the wildlife conservation plan.

However，in September last year，Mark McDonald，a conservationist，stated that the groups of conservationists all have“surrendered”in the fight to protect Vietnam's elephants.An elephant conservation center has been built in the National Park in Dak Lak Province，becoming the living place for a herd of 29 elephants.However，the small scale of the center and the limited money do not allow the officers here to prevent the illegally hunting to protect the lives of elephants.

Two weeks ago, a couple of elephants were killed right in the forest belonging to the shelter.The officers here discovered the dead body of a male elephant with its tusks cut.Forest protectors are now worried that the death of a male elephant would make it difficult for the elephants to maintain the race.Director of the Dak Lak National Park said the elephant illegally hunting had been developing so rapidly. Six male elephants have been killed so far this year.
