STUDENT'S DAY

11 comments

Hello fellows,

Congratulations, today is STUDENT'S DAY. That's a good moment to think about the meaning of being a student and even the meaning of EDUCATION, LEARNING and SCHOOL. Throug out history,  education has had diferent meanings, and here I present you two interesting videos with diferent conceptions of education. However, it seems that school is still far away from what we want. Which kind of education do we want? For what? What is like being a student today?

The first video is from the movie The Wall (Pink Floyd), and the second is a very contemporary movie about "Vision of Students Today". Enjoy them!

GLOBAL WARMING

1 comments




For 2,5 million years, the earth climate is fluctuated, cycling from ice ages to warm periods, but in the last century the planet’s temperature has risen unusually fast, about 1,2 to 1,4 degrees fahrenheit. Scientists believe it's human activity that is driving the temperature up, in a process known as Global Warming. Ever since the Industrial Revolution began, factories, power plants and eventually cars have burnt false fuels such as oil and coal releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide and another gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap hit near the earth through a naturally occuring process called greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect begins with the sun and the energy radiate to the earth, the earth and the atmosphere absorve some of these energy,while the rest is radiated back into space.

Naturally occuring gases and the atmosphere trap some of these energy and reflect it back warming the earth. Scientists now belive that the green house effect is been intensified by the extra greenhouse gases that human have released.

Evidence for global warming includes a risen strain of a very warm years, scientists reported that 1998 was the warmest year in major history, but 2005 coming as second mean, while reading staking from ice core, show that the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane have hit the highest levels in the past 4.2 thousands years. Arctic sea ice is also shrinking. According to NASA studies, the extent of artic sea ice declined about 10% in the last 30 years. As long as industrialized nations consume energy, and developing countries increase their false fuel consumption, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will continue to rise. Researches predict that the temperature will increase about 2 to10 degrees fahrenheit by the end of the century what is lesser in the earth rising temperature mean for the planet.


Some climate models predict several changes, others forecast rising sea level which could flood various areas around the world, weather patterns could change making hurricanes more frequent, several dries could be more common in warm areas, and species unable to adapt to the changing conditions would face extinction. 

Although much remains to be learned about global warming, many organization advocate greenhouse gases emissions to reduce the impact of global warming.
Consumers can help by saving energy around a house using the compact flourescent light bulbs, and driving fewer miles in the car each week.
These Simple changes may help keep the earth cooler in the future.

FAMILY AND CHORES by Ana - 7ª Série 1

5 comments

Hi,

My name is Ana, and I'm 12 years old.  I do not like family chores, to dry the dishes is a boring chore. Chores make me feel sad, because they are stupid and boring.
I have a dog, its name is Woddy, he is lazy, cute and clumsy. He is my friend, and I have a fish, its name is Amorinha, I feed the pets every day.
My family makes me feel happy, because we are generous and nice, I love my family! I have many friends, they are nice, easygoing and awesome.
I do not like to wake up in the morning, and I wake up at 6:30am, I have breakfast and I live home about 7:00am.
On Wednesdays I have guittar classes, I usually arrive home about 6:30pm. At night I take a shower, watch TV, play computer games, brush my teeth, listen to music.
I'm going bed, bye bye!
