Pirates capture Yemeni cargo ship



According to Somali pirates have hijacked a Yemeni cargo ship, reported to be the 39th successful hijacking by pirates off the Horn of Africa this year.

In my opinion, to rob someone’s thing is very shameful. In addition, I think the pirates are heartless, very cruel and barbarous. At first, I think that the pirates just exist in the movie or in the past. But after this incident happen. I acknowledge that the pirates exist in all over the world. For instance, the South America’s sea and the Mediterranean Sea. However, in America’s coasts and the coasts of Mediterranean Sea are decreasing because of the protection of the government’s forces. The damages are reaching to around 5-6 hundred billion a year over the world. Especially, in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The area between the Malaga straits and Singapore which has 50,000 cargo ships passed per year. Besides, it has several words to describe the pirates in English. For example, Buccaneer, means the pirates who were the enemy of the Spanish vessel in 17 century. Corsair, means the pirates who rob in the area of Mediterranean Sea. Privateer, means the pirates who the government support them to rob the cargo ship of the enemy nation.
In any rate, I think the government of many countries should consider about themselves. Why it has many pirates all around the world. Why they must to rob people’s thing. But the most important is how to solve this problem. (221 words)
