Nesting eagles add twist to battle with Wal-Mart

Summary Responsible#3

T.Blackwell (2008) article “Nesting eagles add twist to battle with Wal-Mart” the author shows us one of the threat that faces the eaglet . This kind of bird has trouble in life, and he talks, about the Wal-Mart problem, when they want build a parking lot for the cars. First, Wal-Mart wants to destroy the nest to build a supercenter. Second, the residents start an argument with Wal-Mart because they don’t want Wal-Mart to affect the eaglet. But the Wal-Mart officer said we just did it before; that means there is no problem. Third, all the agencies that work to protect the eagle will never let them do what they want to do. However, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman said we have an environmental engineer who can know everything about the environment. Finally, a wildlife biologist from Florida said it sounded difficult to do construction during the nesting season.
I like this article and I agree with some of the information in it. The reason that I read this article is the threat that faces to the nesting eagles. There are many good points in this article but I will talk about only two points, which are destroying the nest to build a new supercenter and agencies that protect the eagles.
First, destroying the nest to build a new supercenter is harmful for the environment. If every new business starts without looking at the influence of his business on the environment, it will be a threat for the human’s and animals’ life and specifically that of the eagle. That’s because cutting trees and destroying the nest makes the bird extinct and it harms the human. It is harmful for the human because will if decrease the oxygen from the earth and increase the carbon and this will cause global warming. Therefore, we must plant a lot of trees everywhere to save our earth.
Second, we need to support agencies that protect the eagles. If we support this kind of agency it will save the animal’s life and specifically that of the eagle. That is because, if we work together we can save our environment from the harm and we can help the eagle reproduce. But this work is not easy to do by the residents and this kind of agencies only need help from the government. Moreover, if all the countries and the organizations work together and make advertisements on the television and tell the people about the harm of cutting trees, it will help. In conclusion, agencies must work hard to save our lives and the eagles’ life.
Finally, it is not easy to save our environment from the harm that we can find in the future. But we can do it in many different ways, such as agencies that work to save the eagles life. And all governments, if they start to work together, they can save the eagles’ life and the environment. Moreover, we need to stop cutting trees everywhere. Let’s stop cutting trees and help the eagle reproduce.References:Blackwell,N.(2008).

My Dreams

I have a lot of dreams that I hope to fulfill. In my life, I dreamed since I was young to become a woman who can change something. When I was young, I wanted to become an actress and a singer because I loved television so much. In the same time, I wanted to become a professor. I think child's dreams stayed with me while I was growing. I didn't become an actress because my family never encouraged me about it, and i didn't become a singer because my voice was terrible. But the dream of having a doctorate degree has never gone from my mind. I started to like math when I was in the secondary school. When I applied to the college, I chose medicine, but I haven't been accepted. I cried when I got denied from the medicine. I applied to the math department and studied my bachelor degree. I think this the best thing that happened to me. Math was my love and I'm happy that I didn't study medicine. I started my master degree in math and finished it with honorable excellence. After that I worked as a teacher in the same department. My dream was to be a professor. I wanted to continue my study and finish the doctorate degree that I have always dreamed. There were a lot of problems that were about to prevent me from this dream. My parent wanted me to get married instead of studying and I didn't want to till I get my degree. Also, I had problems with the admission process. But, finally I was able to come here to finish my degree. I believe that my other dream was to marry a good man and have kids, but my love to math kept that idea away for some time, but now I think about it and I want to finish studying then marry. Another dream is to write a book in math. I think this is the next thing I will think about after few years of my doctorate degree.

The time when I am alone

Yunfei Zheng
EAP2


People can not spend all the times together, because every person is individual, we need some time for ourselves to thinking about something or have a rest. In my country, there is a famous logion; it says that the distance between people create the beautiful. It is hard to understand because many people think that we should spend more time together to improve our relationship; the fact is if people spend too much time together, they will feel uncomfortable with each other. The solution is using our private time to thinking about our life. We don’t think it is a strange thing and even most of us believe that we must have the time.

The world is developing so fast, we use a lot of time to work or communicate with others, we loss something inside ourselves little by little. At intervals, we hesitate. So, let’s have a pause from the stress world. Today we come back home early, close the door and turn on the light in order to look at ourselves clearly. We find that the loss of the spirits. So, let us pick it up, we read some books, listening to the music, doing some interesting things which we want to have a try. We always find something new from these; we find the truth in life by this time.

It is hard to imagine if a person doesn’t have his or her own time for themselves, they can’t find the meaning for living on this earth. They work like a machine and live like dead person. In my life, I spend a lot of time being alone, maybe it is because I like psychology very much and I always try to find something from other people’s behavior, I also thinking about myself like how to make myself become better. So private time is a big deal for me, I can’t live without it and so do my country’s citizens I think.

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.

Summary Response

Danger of Extinction

According to the article “The brown pelican’s return to coastal Louisiana” the author states that brown pelicans have a history in Louisiana, but they disappeared from there. Brown pelicans arrived in Louisiana because Iberville, first coasting of the Gulf of Mexico, took the pelicans and carried on to the New World with 24 feminine birds in hope that they would provide an incentive for permanent settlements. Then in 1966 the pelican received the honor to being officially adopted as the state bird. However the author explains that the pelican bird started to decrease it’s population in the state of Louisiana until they totally disappeared. The scientist began to study why the pelican had disappeared; they could not have proof to know at that moment why the birds migrated. They believed that the reason had been two tropical storms in 1956 and 1957. However, years later, in California, the pelicans started to disappear too but the research found that thousands of pounds of the pesticide DDT had been used in the state. Fishes that are part of the food of the pelicans had absorbed the DDT. As a result of this in 1968 the Louisiana state started a program to restocking brown pelicans. They transported the pelicans from Florida. The program started to be successful and the birds started to increase and sustain their population.

So many of the environmental problems are caused by humans but human cannot migrate across, the Earth like pelicans did when they did not find food. However some of the humans can create a lot of programs to help to maintain the Earth. Also humans are intelligent to use the technology to help the Earth and try not to cause more damage.

Humans are always creating pollution without thinking of the environment. The problem is that when they started to think about the environment, it could be too late. Every day too many species disappear from the Earth because of the damage of humans and one of these species could be humans too. Humans do not have the possibility to migrate to another planet, like the movie WALL-E. Neither do we have the possibility to move to another country like brown pelicans, because we are too many people for just one country. Humans have to be more conscious to think about the future. Humans have to respect the environment to subsist in the Earth. We have proof of the damage that we are causing and the migration of the pelicans can be one example of this. Humans do not have possibilities like pelicans.

However humans can start to create some programs in order to protect the environment. The program that Louisiana State started protected one of the species of the Earth. Humans have to take the environmental problems seriously. They have to start to take seriously the methods of reuse, recycle and reduce. It is incredible that people, knowing the environmental problems that the Earth has, are not worried about doing something. Every day you can see in the place to recycle a lot of things that are not to recycle. Even if people have to places to put the garbage, they mix everything recyclable and not. However it is important to create educational programs to explain to people how they can take care of the environment.

Humans have to think about how they can create technology to help to clean the environment without causing more damage. Some person is creating a machine those functions in order to clean the air pollution. Mexico City is one of the cities where the machine had been tested. Humans have to figure out the problem of why green technology is more expensive than regular technology. Whirlpool, for example, has a line of washing machines that are green and not cause damage to the environment, but this line is the most expensive, and no one will buy it. Humans have technology and they must use it for the best.

Humans can continue causing damage to the environment, but they could disappear if they are too late. If the human race wants to live in the Earth forever, they have to think of the planet. They have to create programs that help to take care of the environment, and they have to use the technology in the same way. The Earth could not be forever.

Learning Language

Khalid A
EAP 2 – Writers’s Workshop


Learning another language is something interesting and hard at the same time. For me I decided to learn another language because it is required in my job and because English is the first language in the world. To learn a new language there are many steps you should take. First, you should have the motive that makes you study hard and not give up. Second, you should find a good institution for teaching this language. Next, you should learn many vocabulary because vocabulary is your basic instructor that help you in learning; then, try to practice what you learn with native speakers if it is possible or others who speak the language. Moreover, you should watch TV and listen to music to improve your listening skills. Also, reading is very helpful for you, so you should read as much as you can. Personally I try these methods and it helps me a lot, but the most helpful is to have friends from the native language so you will learn fast and they will help you if you have a mistake. I hang out with my friends and I learn many things from them. Finally, learning another language is very important for people

Human Kills California Condor

In John Ritter (2006) article “Lead poisoning Eyed As Threat T o California Condor,” the author says hunters use dangerous material that is harmful for California condor. According to article, organizers will establish laws, which are in favor of California condor. However, people who are fond of shooting they disagree with laws. Also, copper bullets would solve the problem but they are more expensive. Moreover, researchers also found that most of California condors are under risk. Therefore, lawmakers spend money to protect birds’ life.

I agree with author’s opinion that lawmakers established laws against sport foundation. California condor is farmers’ friends. However, California condor creates bad impression in our mind.

First, people hunt California condor just for hobbies the lives of the young. Some organizers organize shooting competition. But, they forget the valuation of birds. They also increase the number of people who join that kind of activity. Government establishes laws to protect California condor. For example; there are number of shooting sport foundations in India. They catch condors and other birds to organize shooting competitions. Suddenly, populations of birds collapsed in India. In the end, the Indian government established laws against shooting organizations.

Next, condor helps farmers. He is a predator of insects. Condor always prefers to live in green areas and farms. Condors play an essential role to maintain an ecosystem. Condor eats bugs in farms and it is really helpful for farmers. To some extant, condors save money and protect farmers’ crops. For example; my grandfather is a farmer. Whenever he grows plants, he irrigates his farm. At that time lots of condors come to my grandfather’s farm and eat bugs. My grandfather doesn’t need to use pesticides. It saves our money and time.

Finally, as we know, California condor is an omnivorous bird. It creates a bad impression in human life. We often see condors around dead animals. Condor is dirtier bird than other birds. He can’t adjust in our society. For example; in my village after animals die people throw them far away from the village. There are lots of condors who come around dead animals and eat with a very dirty style. It creates bad impression in our society. Sometimes, people are scared of condor’s eye.

In conclusion, shooting foundation is the worst way to get entertainment. California condor helps farmers and sustains eco system. Condor’s life styles encourage thinking about his negative characteristics.
