Climate Change

Climate change exposes people to serious risks but it is likely caused by human activities.

There are many ways to avoid the excess of the greenhouse gases. By simple things we do, we can help and save mother earth like walking and taking the bicycle instead of driving the car.  By saving energy we can manage carbon footprint that will help us reduce greenhouse gases. Those are the practical ways done at home like turning the appliances off when not in use. We don’t only save in our electric bills, we also save mother earth. Another way is recycling. We can keep plastic carrier bags so that it will be reuse time after time. The best way to do is to plant more trees and avoid illegal logging. Trees absorb the carbon dioxide that is released in the atmosphere.

If climate change will continue, it will affect the crops of the farmers and that will cause economic problem. We must start those simple things to save not only our selves but also mother earth.

Reflection

                If last grading period I compared myself as a half charged battery cellphone, in this second period, I am a 25% charged battery cellphone during our ICT class.

       I have learned a lot in our discussions, the parts of a web browser and page address. We also tackled search engine. In every lesson that we had, there is an activity. The tag attributes, it was my favorite topic. We can put some designs to our html file.  

       Like in the first grading there were no problems that I have encountered to my lessons. This period, we have our practice teacher but she was able to discuss all the lessons briefly that is why I understood it all and our topics for this grading period are easier to memorize than the last grading period. The problem is my laziness. If in the first grading period, I only rushed one blog, now, two blogs were rushed. I became lazier that is why I was only 25% charged battery cellphone.

       This next grading I must do my best to improve my scores and blogs. Last grading, I told this but I wasn’t able to do it.   

Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence

                Proper words in proper places make the true definition of a style. Proper spoken English instantly marks you out as a highly educated person whose views and opinions are seriously taken.  

        In order for us to be respected while speaking, we need to use proper English. For instance, while the teacher is having a lecture, he had used wrong grammar. The effect of what he did is student might laugh on him while having his lecture which is a sign of disrespect. It will be bear to their minds that the teacher is not highly educated in using proper English and they would not take seriously what he is telling. Good grammar keeps the listener focus on what he has to say, not on how he says it in a wrong way. In texting, we are fun of shortcuts and there is a group of people who they called “jejemon”. They are destroying the use of proper English. They think that they are cool when they are using this kinds of words, “eow phowz” which is supposed to be hello, “where na u?” which is supposed to be where are you? and others which they change the correct spelling and add some new words. The educated persons might laugh on and there is a tendency that they would not be able to understand their message.

        Reading books, magazines and newspaper may enhance our correct grammar and also doing grammar exercises. Use correct English for communicative competence!

       

"Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers For Sustainable Energy:

“We must have relentless commitment to produce a meaningful, comprehensive energy package aimed at conservation, alleviating the burden of energy prices in consumers, decreasing our countries dependency on foreign oil and increasing electricity grid reliability”, from a concern citizen, Paul Gillmor. 

No man in this world can live without energy resources. When the population will continue to increase, there would be an inevitable shortage in the future. The researchers continue to develop alternative technologies and methods that can be our source of energy but due to financial and natural problem they can’t continue to produce these technologies. For instance, the installation of the wind power energy, it can’t be used in some areas due to environmental reasons that’s why it is difficult to convert wind power into electricity. Even though these technologies would be successful, we can’t deny the fact that some country can’t afford to produce this kind of technologies.

This theme aimed to encourage the students to sustain energy by joining the club.

By encouraging conservation, increasing investments in clean renewable sources of energy and promoting increased domestic production of oil and gas, we can build a more secure future for our country.

My Teacher My Hero

“Great teachers help create great students.”

Everyday, I almost stay 9-10 hours in school but my parents are not worrying because they know that I have my second parents in school who are my teachers.

          My teacher is the one who shapes my mind. She is sacrificing to give us knowledge for us to become worthy sons and daughter of our nation. I still remember during the first day of school, she told us that she hates to be in a noisy class but as days passed by, she already understands why we were like this. She knows how to control and improve our bad attitude which is laziness. She serves as a good model to us. She is not only teaching us about our topic but she also teaches us how to manage our time wisely. Whenever we need to settle up something, she wants it to be organized so that it will be faster. Mrs. Elizabeth Quitoriano is also our friend. She is always there when we have a problem. When some of her students quarreled, she is doing something to make them friends. When it comes to puppy love problems, she is also there to give us advices. When she gives us projects and assignments, she is the one who appreciates my effort. She encourages us to overcome our shyness by letting us all recites during her class. She motivates us to study our lessons everyday.

          Some students who don’t know her tell her that she is very strict but the truth is she is very lovable and supportive adviser. I will never forget her.

          “Education is one of the greatest services provided by teachers”.

Modern Hero

Being a hero is about the shortest- lived profession.                  

Mother is the most challenging job in the world. My mother, Elisa Ragunjan is my hero. She did all right things and served as a good model. She took care of me when I was a little. She is the reason why I know how to write, to talk, and most of all to be a good person. She is very protective. Every time our father would scold me because of quarrelling to my sister, she is there to protect and save me. Even though she is working to support our studies and some of our daily needs, she is always making sure that she has enough time to guide us always. Every morning she wakes up early to cook our food and prepare our uniform and things to bring in school. My mother is truly my best friend. Whenever I buy my clothes, she is there to help me decide if what is the best clothes for me. When I was in trouble, my friends were not there but my mother was. I also share her stories about the boys who want to court me. When I’m not feeling well, she is very caring. She makes sure that I’m taking my medicines.

When I grow up, I hope to be like her. I want her to be proud of me. Without her, there is no me.

“I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
