Final Blog


This summer, I plan go back Vietnam to renew my visa and visit my family. While most Americans drive car, most Vietnamese drive motorbike. When I come back Vietnam, I will drive my motorbike around city. Driving motorbike makes me remember a lesson that I learned in my life. Five year ago, I was driving so fast when it was raining. Suddenly, I saw red light and used my brake, then I fell and slid on the street. Luckily, I just got some light injured. I got up and went to home. I learned that I should not drive vehicle when it’s raining.

My bucket lists are travelling around the world, having a super car, getting married, buying a big house and playing soccer game before I kick the bucket.

Paraphrasing Project



Scientists hope that models of how the earth will reply to a growth in carbon dioxide could be helped by the geological information within this 10,000-year-timeframe. Models can be used to explain more about how our weather is changing, and how the planet is going to response to those changes by climate scientists; in the same way, models is used to make predictions about the weather by weather forecasters.(Cruddas, par.3)

A significant step is knowledge how the earth responded to higher CO2 levels in the past. During its history, the natural has been changed by Earth’s temperature and the quantity of carbon dioxide in the air. According to Dr James Riding at the British Geological Survey: “Changes in the levels of CO2 are caused by several unrelated processes,” and Volcanoes, plants and animals, destabilisation of the oceans, methane in the sea floor, these are all natural mechanisms for altering CO2.” In contrast, these natural causes alone wouldn’t have created such an increase in the time since the industrial revolution. As said by Professor Bette Otto-Bliesner, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado: “We know we cannot explain this increase,” and “There has to be a human influence.”(Cruddas, par.4)

American culture



     I have been America six months. I have learned many things about American cultures. Americans like fast foods like burgers and fries. Americans like watching footballs on Saturday and Sunday. One thing made surprise me is the America doesn’t have official language. Most people including me think English is official language in America. Finally, I experienced holiday in America such as Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Halloween. These are my experiments that I learned while I am studying in America.

Dream Job



When I was a child, I liked watching hero movies like superman and batman, so I decide I will become the police. After I was ten year old, I began love soccer. I always played soccer on Saturday and Sunday in Vietnam. I love soccer because I admire Ronaldo, who is from Brazil, when I watched he played for Inter Milan and then Real Madrid. From the love with soccer, I dream I am professional soccer player. Because my soccer skills are not good, I can’t become soccer player, but I still play soccer for my passion.

Travel

     I traveled Hong Kong and Thailand. Each country that I traveled has different cultures and traditional. I also have new experiments from my journeys.

In Hong Kong, I visited many beautiful places like Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong Disney Land, and Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Hong Kong is big shopping place. Tax from imported goods is lower than international standard. This is reason why Hong Kong has a lot of visitors each year. I found out an exited surprise that the students don’t go to school if the weather is too hot.   

I had a week in Thailand two year ago. Almost Thai flow Buddhism. I saw so many Buddhist temples in Thailand. In these Buddhist temples, Wat Phra Kaew where organize big ceremony of Thailand   is the most inportant Buddhist temple in Thailand. I vey like Thailand cuisine especially am Pad Thai, sweet rice with mango and hot pot. I have a surprise for you that are full name of Bangkok, which is capital city of Thailand, is longest city name in the world. The full name is Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.
