Impact of Climate Change

In Hirsch’s (2005) article, “Animals ‘hit by global warming’”, climate change affects environment negatively. Because of the change, many animals already have started to move to other places to searching for their habitat. It is a kind of a global warming. In early days, scientists noticed that point. The wide migration patterns of some animals are associated with the global warming. Although many species have been able to adapt to new changes, some animals are not. Subtle changes of temperature are affecting a wild scope. And it deprived them of food in the oceans. So, now, they feel necessity to find a solution to help animals. Animals do not have many choices anymore. In addition, they are dying because there are no places for them.

It is apparent that animals are in danger because of changes of temperature in this article. The earth is warming more because of carbon dioxide. And animals are affected by environmental change even though it is a small variation in temperature. They are able to notice a change more easily than people. Also, the rising temperature is affects the ocean, the land, and the ecosystem. Ultimately, it will affect people too. Therefore, we should know that we are also part of the environment. It will affect people soon. We should find a solution to help dying animals and to protect our life.

First, the greatest problems are a rise of the sea level because of melting of glaciers. It makes the dominoes’ effect that escalates in other areas. The glacier acts to cool the earth because it reflects sunshine. If reflection of the sunshine becomes low, the sea temperature will be high, according as the ocean absorbs the sunshine. As a result, a vicious circle is repeated that a number of glaciers thaw because of raised sea temperature again. Also, it means dramatic climate change. It even can make people who did not adapt to dramatic climate change get to die. Therefore, we should know that it is a big problem.

Next, if the water vapors of in the atmosphere rise because of global warming, the average of precipitation will rise. It is able to cause a flood, or drought. Also, it makes fatal contagious diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera easy to spread. In addition, it affects the plants. Now, many alpine plants are placed in a crisis of extinction. Because their harvests are decreasing every year due to global warming, famers have distresses every year. The impact of global warming is wide.

Finally, a big cause of global warming has carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is continued to increase with industrial development. The global warming is not natural, it results from human activity. Therefore, the people should take responsibility for making these problems. The earth is not only the monopoly of the people. If we are not concerned about these problems, we will be in danger in the near future. The people are connected with the environment and with each other.

In conclusion, in the past, the people used the fossil fuel in the industrial development and destroyed the forests in agricultural development. These caused global warming. As a result, it not only caused many disasters like the rise of the sea level, a change in the precipitation, flood, drought, and typhoons, as temperature rose, but also it increased the scale and frequency of disasters. Then, it will threaten the people. For that reason, we should care about environment. We are not able to live without helping nature. These problems are not only for experts anymore. It is not too late yet. We should find out what we can do. We are in nature too.

FE#1 Travel with Bicycle

I do not like big city because there are many people, cars, and buildings. It makes everything a crush. In addition, Koreans usually prefer to use the car whenever, wherever. So, most traffic on the street is heavy. And we have the experience of traffic jams very often. These make so tired for me and are one of the reasons why I prefer the bicycle. The bicycle is useful. It does not require money for me. It only requires my two legs. This is really good for me and the environment. Also, I can go and stop whenever, wherever I want. So, if I want, I can go even though it is forest. And I do not need a big place for parking like cars do. This is a great charm to me.

I'm so sorry, I do not prefer drink Coffee.

I am sorry, but I often do not enjoy the coffee. I think that a cause is my parents. Because my mother indoctrinated me with an idea. When I was younger, my mother always said that if you drink the coffee, you will get the a dull mind. Also, my father did not like that I drink it. Because he thought that the gredients into the coffee would injure a growing child. So, now, I cannot handle the coffee. Sometimes, though I drinked just a cup of coffee I cannot get to sleep easily in the days that I drink it. But, not that I dislike the coffee. I like Caramel Macchiato and Caramle Frappuccino in the starbucks. In addition, I like green tea and black tea. But I do not drink green tea in the night or before a sleep. Contrary our expectations that green tea is good for health, It is disturb a sleep.

"Josee, The Tiger And The Fish, 2003"

A number of korean love the movie. However, in Korea Movie industry is not good because there are no many sponsor. And, if there are no well known actor, Korean do not see the movie. In addition, the actor have the most a guarantee of movie so there are no monney for making film. Actually, it is big problem so always it is become issue. Often, I can see that many actor did boycott in the television. In the past, we liked the Hollywood movie. However, now, most Korean prefer the Korean movie to Hollywood movie except me. I like the Japanese movie. My best is "Josee, The Tiger And The Fish, 2003". It is perfect for me! I always recomend to everyone when I meet the new friends who interest the movie. In addition, I really like director of this movie. I saw most of his movie. I hope that the everyone see the his movie,"Josee, The Tiger And The Fish, 2003".

listen to the music

I do not like that eats only what I likes because it makes my health that lean to one side. So, I always try to get over my likes and dislikes in the all part such as my thinking, my taste,and my attitude. The music also same to me. I try to listen all kind of music and I enjoy to find new music. Specially, I have a taste for the piano and violin music very often. My first working was that turn on the stereo when I come back from the school. So I have many piano's CD in Korea. But, I didn't bring the my CD in Carbondale anything! I really miss my CD because I've never listen to the my CD after I came in Carbondale although I am ready, even eager, to listen to the my CD! And I like a recital more than a ensemble. A piano solo is very interesting for me. And, Now, I am interesting to the American pop!

My love food !

I really enjoy eating! I think that I love every food so often my friends sure that I can eat everything, and I do not dislike any food. When I got the stress or I depressed, it amused me from eating. It is my good friends and pleasure. So, I have many good friends. I like spicy friends and sea friends. I think that the kimchi, Korean food, is best friends for me and everyone because it is good to the taste and the health. In Korea, it put on the table of the most people for meal always; But, actually, it is very difficult question for me because I cannot choose only one. Sometimes, althought it is problem to me because I eat too much, I will love it still!

My first reaction for study in U.S.A

The most problem was my parents when I decide that I am going to study in U.S.A. They did not want that I study in U.S.A because they worried about my life in U.S.A. They want that I get the job, after I graduate my university in the Korea. So, I should persuade my parents. That was hard time to me because my father was strong specially. However, the first, I persuade my mother, then my mother was become my best sponsor. She helped that I change his mind. As a result, I could come here. They believe me and I love them. And, their belief makes my life in U.S.A. I really appreciate to them for their belief about me.
