As I write this I’nl sat on a bumpy(颠簸的)bus back to Santiago in Chile where I am currently working as a language assistant for the year．I?ve just spent the weekend in a city 5 hours north of Santiago called La Sarena．During，my visit 1 was 1ucky enough to go and see the Flowering Desert，a natural phenomenon that occurs around every 5 years here in the Atacama Desert．
Following a particularly large amount of rainfall earlier in the year，a variety of flowers come into blossom between the months of September and November．There are in fact more than 200 species of flowers that can be found．As well as the plants，there is a big increase of species of insects，birds and 1izards(蜥蜴)in the area． The Atacama Desert is usually one of the driest places on Earth．In fact，it?s officially the
driest desert and has soil similar to samples taken from Mars! However，the bloom is particularly impressive this year and this is due to the strong presence of El Nino, This is a band of warm water that occurs in the Pacific Ocean off the western coast of South America，changing the temperatures and increasing the rainfall in certain areas．
In order to catch a glimpse of this magnificent jewel of nature，l took a bus with some friends 2 hours north from La Serena to a town called Vallenar．According to the limited information 8vajlable online and in the guidebooks．this was the Flowering Desert?s most southern spot．We asked in the city hall what to do and very generously one of the women there offered to drive us to the area 10kms away．What we saw did not disappoint，and as expected it was even more astonishing than the pictures we had seen online．The vast rug(地毯)of colour spreading into the distance towards the contrasting green hills was simply splendid．A real reminder of the beauty our planet can provide．

Although they know that antibiotics kill only bacteria but not viruses and the obvious risk of antibiotic overuse to personal health，many doctors still use antibiotics when the drugs are not necessary． 36 In some serious cases，the patients with them failed to respond to any medical treatment and died within days．Therefore，several medical organizations have tried to correct antibiotic misuse by explaining when the drugs are not needed．
