Unforgettable Vacation

Today is the last day in my summer vacation. This is the first and the only one summer vacation in my university life. Time files, two months passed. What did I do during the summer vacation? I have been to many scenic spots in Taiwan. Like Hualien, Keelung, Pinghsi, Dan Shui…
I read some books and novels which are about French literatures and culture. It is really interesting, after getting my degree done, maybe I will take a French courses in my free time.
I have seen many movies, weather the movie is in theaters or the classical movies. And I also do some English homework during the weekends.
The new semester is coming, I will be diligent and study hard to rich my life.

Inception




Tom Cobby is a burglar. The physical object is not his target. He goes deep into the dream and steals valuable secrets while the targets are sleeping. Tom's ability makes him become an expert in corporate espionages, but also an international escapee. He lost everything he love, his family, his children….
The task, inception, is an opportunity that Tom could be restart. This case can make him get back to his original life. Tom leads a group to implant the idea into the target during the dream. Actually, it is impossible to enter people’s dreams and steal information, even implant the idea.
The scenarist sets a lot of roles and rules. Such as the three layers dreams and the way to weak up. Because it is a very creative theme, and the screen techniques are very special, it could be the favorite movies which I have seen in this summer.

Two days in Hualien



This summer vacation, I went to Hualien with my friends for 2days. First day, we went to Taroko National Park, Seven Stars Pools. The view is very beautiful, the air is so fresh, and the sun is also scorching. In the evening, we had dinner in the South shore night market.




We got up very early in the second morning, because we joined the river tracing. The tracing was exciting and interesting, we can see the beautiful view and clean river, we had a lot of fun during this trip.

greenhouse gases emission



Global warming caused by greenhouse gases emission.
The gases make from cars airplanes, factories, and human activities.
The pie chart shows the cause effect of the Carbon Emissions.

The biggest part is electricity generation about 33%
Second one is transportation about 28%
Industry 20%
Agriculture 8%
Commercial 6%
Residential 5%

Individuals can reduce our own carbon footprints.
The next slide shows the way to do.
As you can see here,
Buy products locally.
Using green products that save energy, like TV, computers, refrigerators.
Do no use the air conditioner so much.
Choose E-books instead of printed books, e-mail instead of paper letters.
Bring your own cloth bags to shopping. Instead of plastic or paper bags.

We can plan more trees,
Plants and trees naturally offset the greenhouse gases.
They take in carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen.



Climate change will impact the farming and food production around the world.
Many scientists expected that climate change will be the cause of the extinction.
As I have said earlier, the Maldives will be submerged in 2050.
It sounds unbelievable, but it might happen if we still do nothing.
There are many simple things we can do in our daily life- what you eat,
what you drive- that would have the effects on our immediate change.
