Bridge of Communication

      Planet Earth has subdivided into countries. The local of each place have their own cultures, traditions, beliefs and of course, languages. Therefore, in order to have superior and better communication we should learn and master the "Universal Language", the English.
      The English language cannot be denied is at present considered the leading language in the world since it is the common language spoken everywhere. And in my general opinion, English has generally been adopted as a second language especially in Southeast Asian Countries like the Philippines.
      English has been playing a major role in many sectors including medicine, engineering, and education, which, in my opinion, is the most important arena where English is needed. Over the years, the nation received compliments regarding our fluency in English speaking. Since we start schooling, the English language is widely used standard in teaching. Honestly, this practice is beneficial to us since we can easily get a job as long as we can speak and understand English.
       If you can communicate in English, you can contact people from all over the world, talk about your ideas and opinions. Secondly, you can travel more easily by communicating with people wherever you go. Ask directions, have a conversation, or ask for help. As you know that English is an international language, which is spoken by a majority of population in the world. So you do not have to worry about being totally misunderstood when you visit a new place or country. Other powerful influences of English can be seen or heard on television, radio and motion pictures because they used the standard English of today.
        Indeed, the English language will keep anyone abreast of the times. It will enable him to join the stream of the world culture and to take part in the discoveries and inventions. It will make him more completely a citizen of the world. To consummate everything, English language is a bridge of communication.

   

Why Climate Change?

      Mark Twain once said,"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Now, however, scientists can do something about the weather. Perhaps, you've heard about the PAGASA forecasting weather reports. They are the one in-charge of disseminating information to everybody and they called themselves meteorologist.
      If we lend our ears to them, we might be heard the word "climate change". First things first, what this term means to you? Most people knew something about the climate change and it is sometimes linked to greenhouse effect or global warming. It is the unexpected rise or fall of temperature in a region. Sad to say, it was caused by our unfavorable actions towards the environment. From cutting down trees, igniting so much oil and gases and strewing trash everywhere you would like to. Consequently, these actions forces to emerge more heart-breaker problems. By this, we are now experiencing intense flood and drought, health breakdown and abnormal rise of temperature. In other words, this is terrible for the environment.
      Fortunately, we can still alter this condition. Change can happen in a blink of an eye or a single click of finger if we set ourselves in only one intention or goal - stop climate change.
      So what can we do about this? First, instead of trimming a lot of trees, we should plant more trees. Did you know that a tree can absorb a pound of carbon dioxide that will be needed in their photosynthesis? Second, instead of burning so much oil and gases, we should burn fats. Double purpose right?! We are extending our life by doing exercise and at the same time we are part of the "Green Team" (Eco-Lover). Third, instead of throwing the rubbish everywhere and you seems not to care to, we should disposed it properly. Are you aware that the air we are breathing in was contaminated with dirt and germs coming from the undisposed trashes. Lastly, we should always bear in mind the three R's, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
       And when this happen, when we make real the aforementioned, the beautiful, fresh and clean Mother Earth will return in our hands.
