^13^ Enviromental problems

Last month, we watched a video. The name is “In Convenient truth”. It is about Global Warming, but I think the Global Warming is one of the effects; the same as the population of the earth, it is increasing very fast. Humans must make the earth support the increasing population. This has made it necessary for agriculture and industry to develop rapidly. Such a rapid development produces more and more waste, which goes into the water, the soil and the air. Some of it is made harmless. However, where there is too much of it, the poisonous waste may do great harm to the things around the people. I hope people will be awareness of these negative effects, and let’s protect our earth.

^12^ My professor

I am taking credit course. One of my professors is wired because she does not allow students using computers in her classes. Therefore, I think today, computer is no longer patent of professional computer engineers. More and more common people even students can use computers when they are on the classes.Since computers are becoming popular, there is a new challenge for every teacher. Students can use computer or scientific calculator in the class of grammar and mathematics instead of doing those coalitions by their own brains. Therefore, students can work out problems quickly but what they have learned is just typing skill not mathematics skill, so I think computer should be banned is class. In all, I think if the computers are banned in class, students may listen to the classes more carefully than before.

^11^ Where are the animals future?

Today, when I was walking though the U of C, I saw four rabbits were playing in the grass ground. It makes me think that today, many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the development of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrower and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. Therefore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keep down poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves. Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

^10^ Too Bad, So Sad

Today, I went to Chinatown with my girlfriend. We decided to create a TD bank account because my friend told me TD bank is faster than BMO to make direct deposit. After we created our bank account, we decided to eat our supper in the resturant. We chose Chong Qing Hot Pot Resturant because there food is spicy and delicious, and I love spicy food. When we entered in, I found there was nobody inside except the owner. The owner told us there was less people eat dinner at 4 o' clock. That was why there was nobody in the resturant. When we sat down, we did not order the food immediately. We started chatting with the owner. From our conversation, she told us she already sold the resturant to another people because she always fell tired when she open the resturant, and she is the only person know how to cook Si Chuan dishes. Therefore, she has to cook almost one day. We suggested her to hire an assistant people, but she told us nobody wants to work in the resturant because it is too tired. Also, she told us because she always uses her right hand to cook, her right arm got hurt, and she is a normal house wife in China, so she did not get any training about cooking. At end, her wrist and arm always feel painful. When we finished our conversation, the owner went to the kitchen to cook some food for us. At that moment, my eyes are full of tears.

^9^ Terrrible weather

In my mind, Calgary's weather is very good because I remember last year, the winter time is very short. Basically, in Febulary, it was not snow any more. However, I was shocked by this semester. It is still snowing in April. When I told my Chinese friends, they all shocked. Last week, my friend told me Calgary would continue snowing until June. I think it is impossible, so I do not believe him. In Chinese culture, people always say heavy snow can bring you good luck, but in this winter, I have not met good luck. I was sliped over 3 times in one time. It was a really terrible memory for me because 2 times, I falled down when I was crossing the road, and the cars just stopped beside me. I think if the driver did not care the road situation, I might be died. The last time, I sliped over with my girlfriend. I made her arm almost dislocated. I am so regret. I am still waiting for the end of the winter......My God.
