Language Learning

Exercise #3

      Learning second language is not easy for everyone. For this reason I found a lot of a problems to learn English. But after I learned how to study, English became easy to understand. I started to learn English tow years ago. I worked very hard to improve myself. I did many things such as learn new words, because learn new words is that helps you speak quickly. Also my advice for everyone who wants to learn English is that he or she needs to speak with the native speaker. That is because, if you speak with the native, you can learn right the words. Moreover, you need to go and stay in place where all the people around you speak English. And do not be shy, ask about everything that you don’t know. Finally, it is not that difficult to learn English.

 

Golden Cheeked Warbler

Summary Response#2

In his article “Vanishing in the Wild: Golden-Cheeked Warbler,” the shows us the threat that faces golden cheeked warbler. This kind of bird is one of the birds that faces extinction. There are many different threats, but he lists a few and the solution for this problem. First, the weather change affects the Golden-Cheeked Warbler, because the weather changing affects the forecast. Second, cutting the forests to build houses and make land available for people to live there affects their ability. Third, the pollution affects them to live. Also, they are spraying chemical products to kill flies. Those influence the food source for the Gold-Cheeked Warbler. Moreover, the author talks about the solution of this problem. For example, in the U.S., it is illegal for anyone to kill or destroy the nesting-set for the endangered animals.

I like this article and I agree with the writer’s opinion. The reason is that the writer mentions one of the endangered animals and what it faces. There are many problems they face and ways we can fix those problems, such as cutting forests and pollution.

First, everyone knows that cutting forests is a big problem for our life. The reason is that forests protect us from desertification, and is not only for our life, but also for the animal’s life. For this reason, cutting forests is a big problem for the Gold-Cheeked Warbler’s life. That is because if we cut the trees in the forest, we will destroy the nesting sites for this bird. For this reason, we need to find solutions and new rules to protect this bird from extinction. This is not only the bird facing this problem, but there are other kinds of animals that face the same problem. In conclusion, we need to grow a lot of trees everywhere, not cut them, it because we will save the animals from endangerment.

Second, as we know many countries face a pollution problem. The pollution is not only affecting the people’s life, but also affects the animal’s lives. For example, the Gold-Cheeked Warblers face a difficult time with the pollution. Using chemical spray in the trees to kill different kind of flies without control, influences other animal’s lives For example, the Gold-Cheeked Warbler became in danger because many people used the chemical and made pollution. For those reasons, all countries need to find new solutions for the pollution problem because the pollution is one of the reasons that make global warming. And these affect the weather in all worlds. Therefore, we need to be careful when we use the chemical product, because it is dangerous for the environmen

Finally, we need to save the Gold-Cheeked Warbler’s life and other kind of animals from endangerment. If we want to save the Gold-Cheeked Warbler life, we need to find solution for many different things, such as cutting forest, since cutting forest is a big problem for this bird. And we need to solve the pollution problem in the forest by controlling chemical spraying. Also, the governments make difficult rules to save this bird and other animals. The reason is that the pollution affects the weather and the weather affects the animal’s life. For all those reasons, we need to protect the animal’s life all over the world. If we don’t try to fix this problem, our life will be in dangerous in the future. Americans, let’s go to protect the Gold-Cheeked Warbler.

Exercise#2 
                                      Travel 


    There are many different beautiful cities in the world. But if someone asks me to recommend a city for vacation, I will say Istanbul in Turkey, because this city is different from any other city. Because Istanbul is in Europe and Asia, for this reason it is different. If you want Istanbul you can see the Arab and Europe culture. On the Asian side you can see the Arab people and almost everything from Arab culture. And if you go to the Europe side everything is from Europe. There is only a bridge connecting between them and you need to drive three miles to cross the bridge. 
    Moreover, Istanbul is a very nice and clean city. There is not any kind of pollution; all the street is green from the trees. Also you can visit one of the important museums in the world, Istanbul Museum. In this Museum you can see the Islamic history and the Ottoman Empire. Also you can see one of the biggest Islamic mosques in the world, Sultan Mohammed Alfateh musk.  
    Finally, you need to visit Ayah Sofia Museum. This museum before was changed from a church to mosques and than a church. In this museum you see the mix between Islam and Christian. In this city you can see how the people live peacefully together without any problem. Let’s go to Istanbul .

Summary Response #1

According to Hirsch, (2005), in his article “Animals ‘hit by global warming,” he shows us the reason of extinction of animals. First, the weather change affects the animal’s life. Second, the warming weather led to death of animals. Third, sea level rise destroys beach-nesting sites of sea turtles. Fourth, change of the atmosphere and deserts can make the birds travel from one place to another difficult. However, there is another kind of animals that can adapt to those problems. Finally, the people need to find a solution for this problem.

It is apparent that the author’s opinion is right in this article. Because hundreds of animals have become extinct in the world, this problem is created . I like this article and I agree with the writer because he mentions the effect of the global warming on the animals. And he writes different examples for these problems, such as weather changing and sea level rising.

First, the weather changing makes a big problem in the animal’s life at this time. Every animal needs a different kind of environment to live in. Some of them need the cold weather and others need warm weather. But now the problem is the animals that need the cold weather, because the global warming affects the cold area and melts the ice and that follows the animals to the end. For example, there are thousands of beers that are extinct from this reason. In “ Animals ‘hit by global warming” the author states, “ Polar bears and seals whose habitat is disappearing rapidly with the melting of Arctic sea ice” (2005, p.2). It means this is really a problem for the animals. In conclusion, we need to find solution for this problem of warming.

Second, sea level rise is one of the biggest problems that happen every time for the animals. And this problem comes from many reasons, but one of these reasons is the melting of the ice in the south and north poles. There are many animals that have difficulty in reproduction from this problem, because the sea level affects the nesting sites and this leads to the extinction of the animals. In “Animals ‘hit by global warming” the author states, “Sea level rise destroying beach nesting sites for sea turtles” (2005,p.2). That means the sea level is dangerous for the animals’ life. Therefore, we have to find a solution for both poles or to find another place for these animals nesting sites.

In conclusion, the global warming will affect animals lives and in the future will affect our life. For this reason we need to work, all of as is, not only a few countries but also all the world, together to find the solution. Because now we have lost different kinds of animals in the world, such as polar bears, and this is only one example but in realty we have a lot of examples. All the governments needs to work very hard to fix this problem.

Carbondale

Everyone loves his hometown even if he or she lives far away. I love my hometown for this reason; there are many differences things between it and Carbondale. For example, my hometown is safer than Carbondale at night, because Carbondale is not safe somethings. In my hometown the people are more peaceful than in Carbondale. Carbondale is a small city, but my hometown is big. Carbondale is kind of university city , because all the life in Carbondale depends on the university but my hometown is not. If the university is on break, almost every place is closed. But my hometown everything is open during all the year. In my hometown we have three different malls, but in Carbondale there is only one mall. The population in my hometown is more than ninety thousand people, but in my hometown there is a lot of traffic every day except the weekend. Finally, I love both of them, Carbondale and my hometown because I learned many things in the both of them.
