Dogs

Yes, i find a very interesting in this story. The story that i like is the dog Hachiko. Hachiko is a very loyalty dog. It waiting his host at platform when he host go and back form job. The most touch event is Hachiko was waiting he host to come back for the rest of ten years even he host was died. Hachiko did know that he host was died and it just keep waiting and waitng until end of his life. This is the most touching story that deedly put inside my heart. Now a day, even a hasband or wife won't be so close like this. I think there are rarely people who are really patient to be waiting to other person. How can humans or couple could't be so nice as an animal? I think we are the one who really need to be self-reflection.

100 years on....Olive wouldn't dream of moving

First thing that surprising me is Olive living in her house in 100 years. She never plan to move to other place even her house destroyed by fire before. She love her house and her parents very much until she don't want to get married. For what i know, most of the girls will married since there are young that around 18-20 something. Let say does Olive thought before she can married and ask her husband to move in since she don't want to leave the house. This is the question that make me like to know more about Olive life.


The second thing that make me surprise is she has never been in hospital. That mean she is very health and rarely sick. Is that because she loved to gardening, cleaning, and sewing? How can she keep her health and fit? May be Olive are only the person can give me an answer.


Form what i know there are two term Olive house have a big changed. First term was the house on fire before. The second was decoration the house such as installed electricity, build a toilet and bathroom. The house is still keep as nature as before.

Plastic

The article that shocking me is plastic bags are uses very huge amount for human being per minute. One million plastic bags per minute are used for routine activity. It mean we all using the plastic bags as usual without care for the environment. Trees are cut, plastic bags end up with litter,animals ate the litter as food, not body are going to care and think about it when their are uses it. Those are result the earth is sick right now.


How we are going to protect our earth to be sick? This is a good question. First thing we shall do is make awareness to all human being that our earth is sick now. Ban those plastic bags at once and using the recycle bags to shop. Groceries and hypermarket now are make charged 20cent to customers who want plastic bags. Glasses, newspapers, steels objects has to collect by the citizen after used it. Those activity shall practice everyday to protect our earth.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the blog. If you studied in Academic Writing 1a, then you already know how this blog works. If Academic Writing 1b is your first course, then welcome. This is your space to post your comments on the articles you read and respond to other people’s opinions as well. Here are the instructions for how to use the blog:

At the end of the first lesson, your teacher will give you an article to read at home.

Take your time. Read the article and the question and think about your answer.

Next, log on to the blog and start a new post. Begin like this:

I read an article about…
It was interesting because…

Then write your answer to the question.

In your second lesson, you will return the article you read and take another. This time, read the article and the first person’s answer on the blog. Then post a comment on the first person’s answer and give your opinion. Don’t worry – it isn’t necessary to agree. If you have the same opinion as the first writer, try to give another example to support your ideas.

This will continue for the whole course. Keep a note of the articles you've read in your Reading Record. This will help you to see your progress more clearly.

I will log onto the website regularly to read your comments and leave comments of my own.

Good luck!

Paul
