Vocab.

These are some vocabulary words I have been studying for my English class. I have put these words into a music video to help me understand the meaning and content of the vocabulary words.

MEXICO

If I could travel to any place around the world, I would travel to Mexico. I would want to go to Mexico to learn about another culture. While I am visiting, I would like to learn more about the traditions that they take part in, such as their holidays. If I ever go to Mexico, I would want to learn about the sports they play. Do they play the same sports as us? Do they play by the same rules that we use? If I travel to Mexico I will be sure to go during winter. Then I can get away from the cold to enjoy the hot weather of Mexico. There are many reasons why I would like to travel to Mexico. If I have the choice to travel around the world, I would most likely visit Mexico.

Christmas

Christmas is my favorite holiday. December 25Th is the birthday for Jesus, known as Christmas. Christmas is my favorite holiday because I get presents to represent the birth of Jesus Christ. Not only do I receive presents, I give presents to others to show appreciation and thanks.This is a special holiday because I get a whole week off school and a there isn't any homework that has to be done. While celebrating Christmas I spend a lot of time with my family. I look forward to Christmas because of the great food and all the sweet treats. My grandmas are just a few of the wonderful cooks in my family. I have a feeling that this is going to be a great Christmas.

Fantasy Holiday

My fantasy holiday would be National Pet Day. National Pet Day is also known as N.P.D. It is similar to both mother's and father's day. It is like other holidays because it is a day that we devote to are pets. On N.P.D., pets will be allowed to do everything that their owner does. They will be allowed to enter banks, restuarants, malls, etc. All pets taking place in N.P.D. must be leashed and well behaved. N.P.D. will take place every year on June 20. On June 20th animals will be given egual rights, they will be treated the same as their owners. I think that there should be a National Pet Day to show the relationship between humans and animals.

All in favor of National Pet Day.

Global Warming

As part of the student blogging challenge, I wrote a post for BAD 2009 on the topic of climate change. When reading about climate change and the greenhouse effect, I learned many things. I learned that the greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the earth experiences. The earth experiences warmer temperatures because of gases in the atmosphere trapping energy from the sun. I also learned that those gases consist of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, halogenated fluorocarbons, ozone, perfluorinated carbons, and hydrofluocarbons. This is only a few of the facts that I have learned while researching about global warming.
The greenhouse effect can cause a change all throughout the world. It effects Wisconsin by changing the time and temperatures of are seasons. Global warming also causes many plants and animals to become extinct. It takes many thousand years for an area to be effected by global warming. This theory has been proved by many scientists because there hasn't been any changes in records within the time period of those scientists. Eventually the whole world will be faced by global warming.
The greenhouse effect has been a problem for at least 5-billion years. Scientists records only show 5-billion years into the past. We can prevent global warming by carpooling and using less energy. By carpooling and using less energy, we are saving carbon dioxide and electricity. Solar energy is a better product to use over other forms of electricity. We can also plant trees, to help collect pollution. The collection of pollution creates healthier oxygen, for use to breath in. We should care about global warming because it may become world wide and it effects the environment that we live in. If temperatures continue to rise to fall below normal for a long period of time the earth will face big problems. Problems may occure such as tsunmis, breathing conditions, and extinction of some plants and animals. Lets work together to help save are planet from global warming.

Sports

I enjoy many different sports, including soccer, baseball, basketball, and football. I participate on many soccer teams. Soccer is a big part of my life, being my favorite sport. I have been playing soccer and basketball since I was little. I am not a member of a baseball or football team. I find it interesting to watch the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team. I also like to watch the Green Bay Packers play good football. I am looking forward to a good sports season.
