Task 8: Global warming


I have heard and concerned about climate change for many years ago. Many people and public organizations concern about the global warming crisis. In Thailand, almost school have held campaigns to fight against the global warming. While most people become aware of the crisis, some does not worry about it yet.

The majority of scientists argue that recent investigations have produced much more reliable evidence of warming. They predict the world would flood densely populated coastal areas in 40-50 years later. Because of the global temperature is increasing. Glaciers are melting and sea level is rising. There is no doubt the flooding would occur earlier. Some scientists claim that the climate zones are shifting. This causes the changed seasons of the world. There is snow fall in the tropical countries. The deserts will be rain forest. If these events will happen, many creatures will become extinct.

We can save the earth by reducing the plastic bags, air conditioners, spray products and deforestation to reduce greenhouse effect gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and methane (CH4) in the earth’s atmosphere. If we do nothing, however, the impact of the warming and the ultimate costs of dealing with it will be much greater.

Task 7: New Year 2009

It was fifth New Year anniversary that I have studied here, Nakhon Pathom. My hometown is Sisaket. For five years ago I have got a scholarship to study here. I visited my hometown and celebrate New Year Day only once. Since 2006 my parents divorced, I have not gone to my home on this festival. My mother has got a job in Bangkok and also has not visited our home. I celebrated New Year Day with my boyfriend’s family. We cooked and had dinner together. His aunt’s family came to join us. Sometimes his neighbors also joined us. I would like my mother and my younger sister to have dinner with us but they could not. Because of their jobs were busy. I could not visit them because this reason.

For this New Year, I celebrated it like previous year. On December 31, 2008, we cooked and had dinner together and cooked for my dogs. There were my daughter, Soda and her kids, Namkheng, Tengsaam, Seagram and Hi-lo. They were pretty naughty. Soda joined with us while her kids enjoyed their food outside. I was happy. Food was delicious. I loved all members had dinner together. Today I got many SMS to say “Happy New Year” from my friends. I called my mother at midnight. She was unconscious because she was sleepy.
On January 2, 2009, my called me and talked about Santika Pub was fired. She worried about it because she thought I joined there. I told her that I never heard its name before I saw its news on TV. She was glad to hear that and said love me before hang up. I knew my mother love and worry about me and I also love her. I have tried to take care myself, study hard and do good things as possible as I can. Because of I want her to be very happy. “We have to celebrate next New Year Day at our home together. Please stand and wait for this chance. I promise you, mom”.
