English Oral (campsite)
I think that the people in the picture are in a camp site as there is a tent at the background. And there are some campers attempting the low elements. This is the “spider web”. They are having a outdoor activity as there are grass and trees. The boy in the foreground looks very worried as he thinks that he will touch the rope and they have to do it again. He also is very scared that he might fall. The boys who are helping the other boy get through the web look tired but after it is over, I think that they would not regret it. The girls in the background are esthetic as they are laughing and cheering for the boys. I think that they did not join the boys because they do not have the confidence to carry the boy. Having such outdoor activities can help build team sprit and teamwork. They can learn how to co-operate together. They also can learn how to be creative because they need to think of different ways to get across the web. They can also learn to thrust each other because the person who is going through the web needs to thrust their friends. These activities are also a ideal way to get new friends.

Hit-and-run accident
18 august 2009
On January 19 2008 some where at 6.40 pm there was a hit-and-run accident. It happened at the CTE of ang mo kio. There was a motorcycle (driven by Mr. Lim seng) and a blue mustang (driven by Mr Muhammad rijwan) which hit each other when the person in the car was talking in the phone. The car accidentally hit the barrier of the lane which caused it to go to the other lane. Therefore the motorcyclist hit the bonnet of the mustang and flew into the wind screen. The car then quickly drove off not even helping him up. The motorcyclist then was taken to the nearest hospital and had treatment.
28-years-old, Mrs. Marry, house wife said,”it was too fast for me to see wad happen!” she also was not sure wad had caused the incident.
14-year-old, Robert lim, student and eye witness of the incident said,” It was terrible, I saw the motorist flying to the windscreen of the car!” he also said that he saw the motorist of the car driving away quickly.
38-year-old, Inspector Abdul Rahman said, “I was shock to see the wreckage of the motorcycle.” He also said he was shock to see the amount of blood left on the road.
When interviewing, Inspector Abdul Rahman, advised motorists not to talk on the phone while driving. He said that they should buy a blue tooth head set so that they can use tow hands when driving. He also said that bystanders should report the license number of the running motorist.
Mr lim seng’s father was the closest to him.he was the only child of the family. He was a understanding child. And helped out with the family when they needed help.lim’s father was soo sad that muhamad rijwan did not help his son and ran away heartlessly.

Terrorism
After reading the articles I feel those terrorists are cunning people who use their intelligence in a bad way. Singapore should be very careful with terrorists and should not let them out of their sight if their in jail. If a terrorist escapes from jail, the citizens would be in stress and would live in fear. Citizen should report any suspicious or unattended bags. If a terrorist attack succeeds is would be a great impact to the citizens.

Natural disasters
Krakatau Volcano strikes causing tsunami
The ear deafening eruption began with a huge explosion which was heard 155 km away in Batavia. The ash column which rose in four hours was 36 km high. In the afternoon and evening the explosions became louder and more distinct throughout western Java.
Tremendous explosions recorded at 6:36 am, 9:58 am, 10:45 am. In Batavia the temperature inclined from 18 degrees to 27 degrees. During the morning 30 m high tsunamis hit the coasts of Java and Sumatra, killing 36,000 people. These were the most devastating effects of the eruption. At 12:30 pm a 2 m high tsunami hit Batavia.
The explosions were heard 4653 km away on the Island of Rodrigez in the Indian Ocean. A 2 m high wave was recorded in Auckland, 7767 km away. A bank of pumice floated to Durban, South Africa by September 1884, over a year after the eruption. Volcanic dust and gases reached the stratosphere and circled the world in two weeks. Beautiful sunsets were visible around the world. The old island of Krakatau was destroyed. The former volcanic cones of Perboewatan and Danan fell into a hole in the crust which flooded with sea water. Only the southern part of Rakata remained. Two-thirds of the original island was destroyed.
Two temporary islands were formed from pumice - Steers and Calmejer. They were eventually eroded by the waves.

Reflective Summary
Reflective Summary
I have learnt that due to climate change that one-third of all Antarctic sea ice is likely to melt by the end of the century, seriously contributing to dangerous sea level rises, and updated scientific modelling on global warming shows.my perspective have changed that climate change is that I think that the change of weather from its original status. My comments about this current situation is that I will help the enviroment by using lesser cfc products.i fear that one day we might have no place to saty as all. We can help in many ways to help stop global warming .Example to save lots of money and save hundreds on lbs of carbon from realeasing in the air is by carpooling. And because of climate change can make us starve by making it difficult to lant crops. Global warming is bad for us and affects us badly so lets all cooperate and stop global warming..!

How can we help to stop global warming?
The Stop Global Warming calculator shows you how much carbon dioxide you can prevent from being released into the atmosphere and how much money you can save by making some small changes in your daily life. It’s our hope that the calculator will promote action, awareness and empowerment by showing you that one person can make a difference and help stop global warming. There are many simple things you can do in your daily life — what you eat, what you drive, how you build your home — that can have an effect on your immediate surrounding, and on places as far away as Antarctica. Here is a list of few things that you can do to make a difference. Here are some ways you can help to stop global warming Carpool When You Can Own a big vehicle? Carpooling with friends and co-workers saves fuel. Save 790 lbs. of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year. Don't Idle in Your Car Idling wastes money and gas, and generates pollution and global warming causing emissions. Except when in traffic, turn your engine off if you must wait for more than 30 seconds. Buy Minimally Packaged Goods Less packaging could reduce your garbage by about 10%. Save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide and $1,000 per year. Extracted from: http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/sgw_actionitems.asp

Effects of Climate Change On Infectious Diseases

Effects of Climate Change On Infectious Diseases
Recent research has predicted that climate change may expand the scope of human infectious diseases. A new review, however, argues that climate change may have a negligible effect on pathogens or even reduce their ranges. The paper has sparked debate in the ecological community. The newly suitable areas for diseases will tend to be in more affluent regions where medicines are in widespread use and can more readily combat the diseases. The dramatic contraction of malaria during a century of warming suggests that economic forces might be just as important as climate in determining pathogen ranges. Scientists have used the fact that infectious diseases are most prevalent in the tropics to argue that warmer, wetter conditions that might occur under climate change would lead to an increase in infectious disease transmission. Warming trends over the last 60 years have led instead to an increase in hot, dry, desert-like climates. So that infectious diseases don't all increase during warm, wet weather.
