Discovering a new island...

plants can be used as tools, medicine, and food!



i will live in forests and try to make as plains even though it is not as plain as this!

i will live in this kind of olace to get water!

Now that you know what environmental factors are, let's see if you can use some critical reasoning and creative thinking to complete the following activity:

Imagine that you are living 200 years in the future. Earth has been invaded by a powerful empire, Akkadiana, but you manage to escape with several friends in a small space ship. Your space ship lands on an unknown planet, but you find that the geography and the environment is just like Earth. The only difference is there are no cities, towns or villages and you and your friends are the only humans here.

Your task:

1) Think about what you have learned in Chapters 4-7 before you begin this blog.

2) Identify 3 environmental factors you would look for before you build your own small village.

3) Write a short explanation for each environmental factor describing why they are important for the survival of your village. Example: I would look for a river...(give details)

Environmental Factor 1:

When I get to an island that I never gone before, I will look for fresh water. Water is most important thing in our lives. We can’t survive without water. I will go on to rivers which doesn’t have salty water. Then, I will start to do everything with it. I will start fishing to get food supply, wash myself to protect from getting diseases, and transportation to get to the other places. Transportation is important because you might have to leave that place to catch some fish!


Environmental Factor 2:

The good topography is large pain with a good soil… but I can’t get that because I would be in the forest! So I will grow my crops in the forest even though it’s tilted. It has really rich soil which will make crops grow fast and healthy! Forest has really good soil which includes a lot of minerals. Also they are out of pollutions. Also because it’s right beside rivers, we don’t have to have a hard time watering them.


Environmental Factor 3:

Next challenge that I have to go over vegetation! Vegetation is all the plants and trees which grow in nature naturally. Plants give us a lot of things like medication, food and tools. Mountains or forests will be really good for this but I will look for forests which doesn’t have many animals around. Even though it’s not carnivores, I can affect crops by eating it!

When I Jina's curch, I had to practice my violin 4 to 7:45. At first, I was so excited because I get to be with Jina. But gradually, I was getting tired and tired. I stretching, yawning, and complaining for long practices. We were supposed to practice until 6 to 7 but everyone was lazy adn song was difficult. So we had to do it until it was good! Only clarinet was the problem. We waited at the practice room doing nothing...

Answer:boring..!!!


At sunday afternoon, I went to pavilion to watch 'Alice in Wonderland.' I was lookinf foward for it for whole week! When we were taking tickets, my heart was pounding. I was thinking,'Yay, I get to see this movie finally!' I was wondering how good that movie will be. I heard about that movie everywhere! When I was going in to the KLCC Suria, I saw that movie's advertisement. Clover, spades, diamonds and hearts were going through my mind. I couldn't think about anything. I was only thinking about 'Alice in Wonderland.'

Answer:excited...^.^

Nowadays in our ESL class, we are learning about 'Civilizations.' So Ms.Nadaraj asked us,' Is your country civilization?'

RELIGION: Korea has a lot of religions. Those are buddhism, christianity adn catholic. But the most popular one is...... christianity! You can feel that Koreans actually LOVE god. When you go top of the tower or mountains at night, you can see the red flashing lights covered whole city! The second popular religion is buddhism. In the past, Korea had ONLY buddhists. But civilization was growing, other country's customs were started to come in! But still, you can see over hundreds of people are visiting temples for anniversaries.

WRITING: When we look at the past, we were used to use Chinese as our language. But it was tooo hard for the normal citizens to learn it. So one of our greatest king in history, King SeJong made the language 'Korean.' Many governors disliked it because they thought learning language is only for the high class people. But King SeJong didn't changed his mind. He made it! Now Korean is one of the most scientific and easiest language in the world.

TECHNOLOGY: Korea's one of the best part, TECHNOLOGY! Korea is known as most strong band in technology stuff. Phone, TV, ect. SAmsung, LG, Kia, hundai, ect. They are in the whole wide world. So noticed this at first when I came to Malaysia. Almost all the people use LG or SamSung phones and TV. Now it is not only popular in Korea, it is the world brand!

GOVERNMENT: Okay... So what do you think? Do you think Korea has government? Of course yes! Korea has Government from 500 years ago! That was the greatest King, SeJong. At that time, they cared about people a lot. because he cared about people a lot, he got sick.... But nowadays, president control the country with governors!

ART: Korea art has a lot of examples. Korea traditional masks, sign, drawing, sculpture, buildings, ect. Korean art is special. Maybe it is similiar with japanese or chinese but it has our own style! Korea's tranditional masks are really spooky adn scary becasue they wamted to make ghosts go out of their room.

STABLE FOOD SUPPLY: Korea has stable food supply. Korea has good weather to farm which is winter, summer, spring and fall. When it was long time ago, Korean farmers had hard time at April and May bacause they barely had food to survive until fall. But now, we invented the green house so we can eat stuff even though it is not fresh enough.

SOCIAL STRUCTURE: Korea doesn't have that strong social structure. It is because Korea is democracy! Korea's owner is citizens. No one is controlling the country by their selves. They have to ask for it if the all people agrees with it! It is the most fair thing I have ever seen. The only Communism country in the world is North Korea. THey have to work for country, and they have to do the job that government chose for them.They can't reject it because then the food supply will stop.

My Academic and Social Goals for 2010

FRIENDS


GRADES

FIRST RANDOM COMPUTER TYPING ESSAY

Finally, almost 1 year passed in Malaysia. I can't belive how time flows. I think now is the time to edit my goals.

Okay, so my academic goal is to stuby verbs, nouns and all the grammer stuff. I think I am really WEAK at grammer because eglish is not my first language. Although I am LEARNING! I am quite sure that I will be better when I keep practice. Well, I learned grammer from long~long~ time ago but I think I was too young or teacher explained it too hard. So there I barely knowledge about grammer inside my brain#.#

So my social goal is, be more active and try to be friends with all the people in different countries. I think its kind of unfare that Koreans make a group. Then how about the other country students like china?

SECOND NOT RANDOM ESSAY

Almost 1 year passed in Malaysia. But I have things I have to arrange. For example, I have to edit goals.i think I have to put things which I can achieve fast.
So my social goal is try to communicate and understand people more. I think sometimes I ignore people or made people feels bad (not on purpose). Also I want to be friends with the people who is not Korean. The reason is, this is international school. We are attending this school to make our English better and Bias different. If I will join with only Koreans, why don’t I go to Sayfol which has 70% Koreans? I can learn their special things like ‘Ramadan’. That is the season that Hindu people starve! Well that was one of the strange thing when I just came to Malaysia.

My academic goal is to arrange grammar tense. Of couse I know but I make a mistake really often. So I will try to think before I write. My other goal is make 1 place up for every subject! If I want to do that, I have to read question carefully when I am taking a test! Well I know that I always make a stupid mistakes from nothing! Hopefully, I will review even though I don’t have test or quiz!

So that’s my goal from now. My goal will change as I go FORWARD!

Choir

REMEMBER POWER OF THE VOID CONCERT

The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding(silence)to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.

I put the slience after the understanding people because I wanted people to think about 'so???' So thats why I put the silence after the understanding. So after they thought 'so that kind of thing make student to be?' The answer comes over.

Composers create the tension in their music by stopping their music and suddenly start the music loudly. If composers make the void long enough to make audience think 'what's going on?' and they make a loud sound, it will make audiance surprise, also more tension to their music.

During the winter vacation

BOBO&MARMAR&SHIONY

Main idea

1 week in Sydney (beach),(Blue Mountain),(Port Stepen)

I week in Melbourne (Great Ocean Road), (Penguin Parade)

Sleepovers in Shion’s house with Shion and Marisa

During the winter vacations, I did a lot of fun things. For the 2 weeks, I went to Australia and visit 2 of the cities which is Sydney and Melbourne. For the last one week, I did all the reviews for school and I did sleepovers with Marisa and Shion which was my best sleepover ever…!!! But it was really weird that having the winter vacation without snow. And also it was rrrrreeeeeeeaaaalllllllyyyyyyyyyyy hot. When i was doing track and field, i felt like i'm gonna faint.

First of all, I went Sydney. I felt it’s kind of cold because of the strong wind. During the whole week, I went to the Port stepen, Blue mountain, Manly Beach, Bondi Beach and few Museums. But the best one was the beach part. At that time, it was freezing. But I did change and jump in to the ocean… The good thing about Manly beach was that the depth of the beach was shallow but the wave was high and strong. So that was the reason that I loved it. Also blue mountain and Port stepen was interesting also because the origin of that name ‘Blue’ is because of the alcohol when Queen Elizabeth saw it look like blue.

also The guide said many people asked him that if they go in to the Blue mountain, do they feel like drunk. But the answer is that you just feel a bi tsleepy. and other thing is all right! Another part of the travel, Port Stepen is like desert. I rode the port stepen send sleigh. But it was not that fast… Also we went to the Taronga zoo. It was huge. We had to ride the ferri to go there and then we have to ride the sky safari to go up to the top. We could experience the Australian animals and also we saw the Koalas and Kangaroo. We got chance to touch them. They were so cute and they were so soft..! But the bad thing was that when I see my hand after i touch them, there are a lot of hair left. so i have to wash my hand immidately. I also saw the dingo. It looks like just the formal dog but when you see him eat the raw meat. You will notice that is wild because, it just put everything in his mouth and eat very fast.

In addition, I went to Melbourne. And the first thing I saw was the ‘tram’ which was really interesting. It’s looks like train but it’s going on the car road like bus. The one that I loved it was ‘Penguin Parade.’ First we have to wait until 8o’clock and you can see the 4~5 penguins at the water. They try to come out but because they are so tiny (only about 30cm), it’s really hard to come out. Also even if they came out they jump in the water again when their friend didn’t come out. They took so long time to come out of it…! So that’s why I thought they are really team working well.

Lastly, I did sleepover in Shion’s house. It was really fun. It might be the best sleepovers ever! We did listen to music, play board games, swim, Nintendo, and also we did truth or dare. The favourite thing was we turn on the music and record our video randomly. It was fun but now, I am scared because Shion might put that in YouTube Face book. But at that thim, it was so fun. Also we go on to Skype and tease Diksha. Diksha was so mad at us! We were not scared because we knew that we will not connect camera or microphone. After few minutes, we went to bed and did truth or dare. After that, Shion said I have to go to sleep because I have to go to Korean School tomorrow. But Io was not sleepy at all so i told Shion to wake me up. Tomorrow when i woke up, Shion and Marisa was staring at me because, Shion shook me so hard even Marisa get up! But i didn't felt anything...

At this winter vacation without snow, was my first vacation in Malaysia. I think because of that, it's more important because i already did the 1 and a half of school year! Especially that I been to the Australia and had many experience and understanding of the other culture. Also doing sleepover with friends made me friendlier. Even though, I’m not staying for a long time in Malaysia. I want to enjoy everything.

It's freetime!!!
