Global Warming ( 二 )

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.
