Poem of my life

By

David Lai B2

Yesterday...

I hated eating green peppers when they came with the noodles at lunch,

But I loved eating school’s spaghettis, the sauce was delicious.

I was confused about Basketball rule, and so I didn’t play it.

But I was confident about Soccer rules, because I played soccer a lot at school.

I was excited about 5th grade’s Track and Field day, because I like running and I am a fan of Usain Bolt.

But I was calm when it was a normal school day because there was no specialactivity.

Today…

I hate cold weather when it’s winter,

But I love getting presents during Christmas.

I am confused about mysteries like the black hole because it very spectacular.

But I am confident with how gigantic the universe is.

I am excited about getting the school’s laptop because I think it’s cool,

But I am calm when I have too much of homework that the teacher gives.

Tomorrow…

I will hate the annoying mosquito in the summer,

But I will definitely love eating ice cream because it’s sweet and cool.

I will be confused with the new computer software,

But I will be confident with a current game I have.

I will be excited about the overnighter on Friday, But I will be calm with no electronics allowed at the overnighter.

The black rain

I was walking alone in the rain, I saw some bugs flying around me that glow. My heart was in pain, The raindrops are as black as coal. Feeling so hopeless, With no sun light curing me. I think I am so bootless, Wish the god could let me free.

Silent pond

A clear silent pond, A toad jumps into the pond, Then silent again.

Autumn The peaceful autumn, Now the leaves have turn brown Best in 4 seasons

Watermelon Sweet watermelon, A sweet and very healthy food It is watery

The snow

Snow Beautiful, white Falling, dancing, lying Cover everything it touches Awesome

Healthy watermelon

Watermelon Sweet, healthy Dripping, biting, cutting Water all over the place Juicy

Winter is coming!

Wonderful winter! Ice on the river. Nothing is warm. The temperature is low. Everything is cold. Rarely is hot.

Friends

F is for funny, laughing is healthy. R is for rare, friendships is gold. I is for independent, you can work yourself. E is for enthusiasm, be enthusiastic with everything! N is for new, making new friends is fabulous. D is for diligent, working hard will make you succeed. FTM Video media type="file" key="100_0006.mp4" align="center" width="300" height="300"

For the movie, “The Mighty”, the directors made several choices, which made the movie/less dramatic and not as realistic as the book. Like in “The Mighty”, Max talked a lot more than in the book and that doesn’t show how he is dumb at all so that isn’t really realistic. In the book, Max think he is dumb so that he didn’t really talk. But the Movie shows Max being talkative thus that make the people watching the movie thinking everyone likes him. Also there is other reason that makes the book better than the movie like Max didn’t help Kevin get his ornithopter in the movie but instead, Kevin yelled at Max which make Max seems to be less helpful and it doesn’t show how their relation ship has began. In the Movie, their relation ship started when Max is in the LD class with Kevin tutoring him. Tony and his gang didn’t throw rocks at Max and Kevin at the carnival. Which it make Tony D and his gang kind of stupid just to go into the millpond and catch them.

These are the 3 example of how the directors made several choices, which made the movie/less dramatic and not as realistic as the book. This is my essay about water pollutions.

David Lai May 28th, 2014 C2 Harmful Water Pollutants Water pollution has been a problem for many years. China now uses more water than any other country in the world. They use water for more than just drinking; they use it to wash their clothes, showering and for swimming pools. Luckily, China has many sources of fresh water such as lakes and rivers. However, clean water is becoming more rare than ever, lakes are disappearing and rivers have either dried up or are being polluted. Right now, the top 5 most polluted cities in the world are all in China because water pollution was included in this statistic. Today, China needs to protect the clean water sources because it is one of China’s main problems. We must prevent it. Otherwise it can harm animals, people and it can decrease our amount of fresh water. Water pollution harms the environment and it does the same to animals. It can kill sea animal’s food sources; it can affect their breathing and it can affect aquatic animal’s nervous system or kill them. If you pollute the water, than later on the water will come back and hurt you in many other ways. Water pollution can also be in the form of acid rain. There is a place called “dead zone” found in the Gulf of Mexico, which happened because sewage was discharged there. The polluted water will kill some aquatic plants. When the aquatic plants die, they sink to the bottom and bacteria will forms, which pollutes the water even more. It makes water a place the aquatic animals can’t live in and there’s no way that they will survive. It’s a big problem. Not only does this tainted water harm animals, it also harms local people. Some polluted water has plastic bags, plastic bottles, fertilizers from gardens, oil and chemicals from cars, and heavy metals. These can harm you when you drink the water. Water pollution happens everywhere. When toxic substances dissolve into the water, it pollutes the water. Drinking polluted water can make you have diarrhea, makes you vomit and obtain other illness. Water pollution doesn’t just happen in China. In April 2010, The Transocean Oil Rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico and killed 11 workers; it is one of the biggest oil spills in US earlier in the history. The oilrig also seriously polluted the water. Sixty percent of the water in China is so polluted that it cannot be used. Billions of dollars have been spent to clean the water, but it is still dirty. This problem is becoming more and more common; countries around the globe are trying to find fresh water to support the world’s growing population. Only 2.5% of the world’s water is safe to drink, and 70% of the world’s water is frozen in Arctic ice. Our resources are rapidly diminishing. A reporter in China says, “At least 60% of China’s waters are either highly polluted or slightly polluted.” The Chinese official Xinhua also complained that at least 43.9% of the ground water is marked as “slightly polluted” and 15.7% is “highly polluted”. Which means that over half of the water in China can’t be used for drinking. Based on the report above, China’s water quality isn’t fresh at all. There are several actions that people all around the world can take to prevent water pollution. Never throw rubbish on to the ground; put it in the correct rubbish bin. Use water wisely, don’t leave the tap open when it’s not in use and don’t ever throw chemical items into water sources, not even in the toilet. If you live close to a river, you can plant a few flower around your house so that chemicals from your home won’t easily get into the water. Don’t throw garbage into rivers or lake. Toxic items like paint should never be flushed down the toilet. There are many more actions that people can complete to prevent the amount of water pollution from increasing. It’s everyone’s job to be responsible of his or her own trash, otherwise we are going to run out of water one day, very soon.
