Hi, students of First year!

This month be prepared because we are going to speak about global warming so, find vocabulary or any information that can help us. At the moment, I invite you to read this:

People and the Environment.

All cultures make use of the environment. The Native Americans who first inhabited the Pacific Northwest believed they were partners with nature. To survive, they had to use their local resources with restraint, or face hunger (or death) when their demands became too great.

Western cultures believe in man's ability to control nature. Our industries support a larger population, but also demand more from world resources. Today, we see the results in acid rain, toxic waste and oil spills.

As partners with the natural world, we need to recognize that our lifestyles now affect habitats and wildlife far from us. Using resources with care and moderation can make a difference to our planet's health — and ultimately our own.

Plymouth, England

This is the beautiful city centre of Plymouth which is located in the South of England.
I was there studying for about a month. In spite of the fact that I was there in winter time, I enjoyed a lot and also, I visited many places. I still remember "Poundland",

a good store for shoping
