Ace blog entry 2:A book that made an impact on my parents' life
Today, i'll be talking about a book hat made an impact on my parents' life.That book is called " DALE CARNEGIE" This book taught my parents how to manage stress , solving problems that we face in life and how to communicate with friends and family. I feel that this book has helped my parents a lot. They have became happier and they manage to apply the lessons of this book on a daily basis.Such as during work and at home. As i have also attended their course based on that book for the youth, i am able to elaborate on what they taught . The 'DALE CARNEGIE' course gives us many chances to speak up , about our feelings and thoughts, based on an experience. One of the activities was "What was one experience when you manage overcome you fear?"When it was my turn to speak in front of the class, i was extremely frightened.But later i manage to do well.It also teaches us some simple rules when communicating with others, that can be used when making friends."Don't criticise ,condemn or complain." was the first rule for making friends.We were then arranged in random order to talk to other people about our hobbies,primary schools and other information.This book or this course can help us tremendously in life.We can use it to make friends ,communicate with family and even for job opportunities.Friends are important, they bring joy and laughter to your life, they give encouragement and love.Thanks to this course , my parents have made many many friends.And so have i, like the friends i have in my school from class 1o3.When i come to school, i'm always happy, because i can see my friends, my great friends.When i'm down, they cheer me up, when i'm hurt, they care for me.We tell jokes to each other , we share experiences . Communication between family members and i have greatly improved.It is essential that you must have a strong bond with your family , as when you have really big troubles, they're the ones that will stand by your side, through good and bad times.You can talk to siblings and parents about your troubles and experiences, they will definitely lend an ear to you.That's why it is important to have communication with your family.Having good speaking skills can help significantly in your career as it is through words that you can express your thoughts and feelings.This book and course has helped me and my parents so much and i want to thank them right here.Thank you, DALE CARNEGIE!
Ace blog:Entry 1 (personal) What's happening to the CORAL REEFS?
Hi guys, sorry that i've not been posting for a long time.Today ,i'll be talking about saving the coral reefs.Thanks to our pollution of the air, such as burning fossil fuels and thus releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The seas would then absorb the carbon dioxide and the water will be acidified. Corals produce some substance called calcium carbonate that is vital in building up its protective shell (external skeleton), with the waters warming up, it is harder for the corals to produce this substance. What's worse, the water that is acidified in to carbonic acid will bleach the corals.This is like putting you in a bathtub filled with hydrochloric acid!Coral reefs are extremely beautiful, today, already 1/5 of the coral reefs in the oceans are already destroyed and 24% are in danger of extinction. With the destruction of the coral fishes habitats, they will eventually die. It is also the cause of selfish fishermen that overfish, that led to some of the extinction. So many species of creatures in the coral reefs that may hold medicinal properties are already being destroyed.This is like crushing the hopes of the cancer patients all over the world waiting anxiously for a cure as their time left slowly ticks away.You might think it is our intelligence that make us special ,well indeed, but it is also our downfall.The arable land will turn barren and dry, thus reducing our food production.Rising of sea-levels cause less land for us, humans ,to live on.With famine,comes war!With poor conditions of hygiene caused by wars and famines and the less space we have ,we will have to live closer, with the population density of an area increasing, diseases will be easily transmitted(like in a crowded area).We would turn to medicines, but with so much animals extinct, will we be able to find a cure for new diseases?This would ultimately result in the extinction of us, humans.
