Also, we can change our shopping habits to reduce carbon footprint. First of all, buy local fruit and vegetables. If possible, try to grow simple leafy vegetables yourself, such as, in the front of your balcony. Second, reduce your consumption of meat. Third, buy organic produce. Finally, don't buy over packaged products.

The most important is that it is our  responsibilities to protect our earth. So, we can combine with the community of power to slow down global warming. The more people are aware of the issues of global warming the more we can reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide.

Global Warming ( 一 ）

In Taiwan, the most impression on global warming is that it is getting more and more hot. However, the summer is coming a little bit late. As you know, it is going to July, but the weather does not like summer season. For other countries, for instance, there are 35, 000 people died due to high tempreture in Europe. Moreover, there are more hurricanes, floods, droughts and wildfire will happen in the future. The worst is the polar ice caps melting, so the polar bears need to swim long distances to reach ics floes. If not, they will be drowned.

What can we do to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide to stop global  warming. Actually, in our daily life, there are many simple ways to reduce the carbon footprint. First, for short distances, we can try to walk or bicycle, not drive. For long distances, use public transportation, such as trains, buses and M.R.T. If you had no choice but to drive car, you can try to buy a highbird car for replacement. Since it still can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and lower air pollution.

Neat People Vs. Messy People

What is the difference between neat people and messy people? Neat people are often trying to keep their desk neat and clean, but messy people’s desk is terrible mess. Always, there has a pile of stuff on the
desk. According to reports, why the messy people do not want to clean up. The key reason is that they have more important things need to do. In their opinion, mess is not an important matter. In contrast, neat person
cannot stand any mess. In daily life, neat person always organize things well and locates everything in the right place. For instance, hang the hats on the hanger; place the books on the shelf by its category. For messy
person, they are always out of order. Such as, garbage is out of the trash can, clothes are everywhere and so on. To sum up, it does not mean that neat people are smart and messy people are stupid.

English Reading Class

In my opinion, comprehension is a key point of reading. There are a lot of reading strategies, for instance, Activate prior knowledge, Summarize the gist, Using Visualization and so on. I think using visualization is very important for me. When you can draw pictures for each paragraph , you can realize the whole text. Besides, you can tell others what the story you are reading is. Surely, reading strategy depend on each person favor. so, chose a suitable reading strategy is very important.

The most efficiency method in my English reading class is cooperative learing. In traditional English reading calss, always teacher translate the text , students copy the translation. We do not need to use our brain and mind, whereas cooperative learing is active. Each group, each crew can discuss and share their own ideas and translate the text. It not only can understand other people's concept but also can translate the text in better smooth words.

Forthmore, this method can push yourself to forward and strive to learn due to peers stress. This is the great harvest I learned from English reading class. That is the reason why I love our English reading class. If you can combine the ideal reading strategy with the cooperative learing, I think your English will improve a lot.

Reading Strategy : Visualization

Reading is not just pronouncing words—it requires understanding. Most experienced readers use a variety of strategies to understand text. The topic of our reading strategy is visualization.

What is visualization ? Comprehension is a very important goal of reading. Visualization is a means of learning comprehension. Students need to learn to visualize the text as they read. By doing so, they will paint a picture in their head of what is going on in the text. This is important because it will help students to remember the story and comprehend the book.

The Visualize Strategy involves creating a vivid image in your mind based on what you read. Visualizations can include sights, sounds, smells, tastes, colors and feelings—anything that makes the scene more real. It is a very important thing that we do in our brains. When we hear things, we have this great ability to see things in my head. For example, when I say “Steve is riding a bicycle. He sees a kite flying high in the sky. " In your head, you might visualize a boy, a bicycle , and a kite. Visualizing is fun, because we get to use our imagination.

If students are able to visualize what they are reading, they will comprehend more information. Moreover, visualizing works differently for each person. Be creative in how you construct your mental images. You can even invent details that seem to fit with the scene the writer has created. Use all of your senses to bring the scene to life in your own way.

The Emergency Room of a Hospital

In the front of gate of the emergency room of a hospital, there is an ambulance with flashing warning lights that carry patients with urgnt and serious condiction. The patients was sent to the emergency room in a hurry.

When you get into the hospital, you will smell something irritative and then you will find out that the doctors are carefully examining  patients. The most common condition that happened in the emergency room is the cry of kid who is taking injection. It is a terrible scene. Sometimes, you will see a bloody scene that usually cause by car accident. The men always come with suffering face . However, they will go home after X-ray checking, taking injection or the nurse bandaging for their wounds. Nevertheless, if it is a serious circumstance, they must stay at the hospital and undergo a physical or even opearation.

 I do not like the emergency room because it is always full of sad, bad, dreadful feel.

How to Catch Fish

Catching fish is easy. Here are some skills and steps to guide you to catch fish.

The first step is to find the right place. Some fish can only be found in certain water. The next step is to prepare suitable bait. Some fish like worm, some like bread. After that, be careful to bait the hook. This is a very important step. Remember to hide the hook with the bait because fish is smart. If the hook is too obvious, they still will go away after eating the delicious food. Then throw the fishing line into the water, make sure the area around you is clear. Sometimes, the fishing line will be hooked on the tree during throwing it into the water. Now, you need patience to wait, keep quiet and focus on the float. When you see the float sink into the water, it means that you catch the fish. It is the time to draw back your pole and you will see a slippery fish. Finally, be careful to squeeze the sides of the fish head and open its mouth and unhook the fish. See, you catch a fish now.

Myanmar

The most impressive country I have visited is Myanmar. This is a Buddhist country, 90% of people is Buddhist. Besides, there are more than 40,000 temples there. Wherever you go, you will see them. So, my first impression on this country is " Temple here, temple there, temple everywhere. Myanmar is famous for their grand temples. So, most vistors come here for religion. There are not too many jobs for locals. So, most of the locals make a living by selling souvenir, produce, handicrafts and delicious food. Therefore, tourism had become one of the key sources of their income.

One of the famous spots I visited is Kyaiktiyo. It is a extraordinary spot in Myanmar. There is a huge stone, named Holy Rock. It is located on the top of the hill. It looks like it will fall from the precipice, but it does not. In addition, another spot that I like is the particular temple. It stands on the middle of the river. You can get there by taking boat only. It is dangerous when you get into the boat. Since the river flows rapid and the water in the river is muddy. It is terrible. However, it is said that no accident happen here, such as "boat turnovered".

In fact, Myanmar have a lot of tourist attraction. However, the development of their tourism is slwoly because the govermnet has a closed mind. So, I do not think tourism have impact on the environment. Moreover, there are not many jobs for locals. I think what they need is to get job and to make money. Tourism can help them to get better life quality.
