Main point
• Globe warming up because of human burning fossil fuels (CO2) and release it to the atmosphere and trapped by green house affect. That caused weather extremes around the world.
Vocabulary words
• Reluctant (adj): uncertain, hesitate.
• Dispute (noun): an argument, or argue.
•Skeptic (noun): the person who is not believe about something, disbelieve.
Difference
• Weather is how atmosphere in one place behave in short period of time, but climate is how atmosphere behave in long period of time.
Extreme Weather
• Torrential monsoon rains in Pakistan,caused flooding.
• Heat destroyed millions of acres of wheat and sparked wild fires that killed dozen.
Experience
•I had experience with extreme weather when I was in Nghe An. In Nghe An, when I was four years old, rain kept falling until flood on the countryside that I used to live. I lived in my grandparent house at that time. When the level of the water on farmfield rise, a lot of farmer traveled by boat to collect the paddy that floating, I was sitting on a boat with my uncle and watched him collected floating paddy. It was very dangerous, because I can easily fall off to water at anytime, but I love to be adventurous.
Definition
•Perception (noun) : appreciate something to be morals,lesson.
My Perception
My perception about global warming is the human develop their lives and economic so quick, that make the temperature of global rise quickly. Human use vehicles to help their life and release to much CO2 to the atmosphere, and green house affect will traped the heat. Over years, that heat raised temperature of the earth and caused flooding, forest burned by heat, rains a lot.

5 Themes Of Geo. in my Imaginary World Map
Capital of Shoe- Zuki Land called Screw City. Their location in Bike’s world is 4220 Degree Longitude 8330 Degree Latitude. The three countries near Shoe-Zuki were Honda, Kawasaki, and Stu-pid. They lived on a continent called Paku, so their land looked like our Pangaea. Shoe-zuki was the first civilization of Bike’s world.
In 140104 A.D, The black and dense oil flowed from underground to the surface.It condensed by the molecules of Screw, metal, and little bit of plastic .Then in 140204, After they were mixed, they collapse into one shape, and the creature what lived called Shoe Zuki-an. Shoe Zuki-an, looked like a motor bicycle, very short 4 feet tall .They lived together as a group, they went to find food together. Shoe Zuki-an lived near the Fuel River so they could drink fuel. Without those things, they couldn't live, so they had to motivate their self for find foods (oil, screws).
In Screw City temperature in a year was 62.25 Lucius Degree. Suzuki have four seasons, Pring(Spring), Mersu (Summer) , Tummua ( Autumn), and Terwin (Winter). In Pring, the temperatures was 49Lucius degree. In Mersu, the temperature was 150 Lucius degree, then in Tummua it was 30 Lucius degree, and Terwin was 20 Lucius degree. Some of the Shoe-Zukian died because it was to cold for the Terwin, or too hot in Mersu. In Suzuki, there was a mountain called Hot Fuel Mt., so every Shoe Zuki-ans came to there every- day to enjoy it. i was next to the Ocean of Blue Oil, Shoe Zuki-ans came to there alot, because they need to take a energy of fuels.
In 140304 AD, the population of the Shoe Zuki-ans grew very fast 150 Shoe Zuki-ans/month. They needed more lands, so a lot of them moved because their country was so overcrowded. They moved around the Bike’s World, finally finding their own countries, such as: Honda found Honda Country, Kawasaki and Stupid were also found their own countries too.Because those guys (Honda, Stu-Pid, and Kawasaki) were from Shoe Zuki, their language was Shoe Zuki-an. They moved because of Kraken the Sea Beast, lived in Ocean of Fuel and often annoyed Shoe Zukian. Shoe Zuki-ans moved away from Krakens. In 140804 AD, Jeff- the Shoe Zuki-an used his engines and created a fancy wheels with and tire to race with his neighbor.He spread idea of racing by traveled. All four countries on the planet started to compete each other by Races.Every year, Shoe-Zuki won mostly races.
Shoe Zuki-ans live on a Paku continent. The average height of a Shoe Zuki-an was 4 feet tall, but Honda and Stu-Pid got 5 feet tall, and also Kawasaki got 5.5 feet tall. All of the bikes in Bike’s world had ancestors from Shoe Zuki but they were not the same because they lived in a region, just similar. Paku continent contained a lot of oil rivers, screw trees and fuel, even black gold. So all of those resources could found in any countries from BIke’s world, but some had less, and others had more , they were just similar, not same amount of resources that could find in every countries.

What I have learned from Family Tree presentations
During a researched process, I have learned that my family had a root in the north of Vietnam. My grand parents came from Nghe An's province, in country side. They lived in rural life's style, with beautiful farm, many types of crops. Then they gave birth to seven children, my dad is the forth one. During Vietnam war, their lives were very difficult and lived in poverty(didn't have enough foods, hard work, didn't have time study--> had to work). But after Vietnam war, my dad moved to Ho Chi Minh City to worked for the wood factory, he had a lot of experiences during at Ho Chi Minh City. After worked in Ho Chi Minh city for few years, then he moved back to Nghe An's province and worked for another wood factory at Nghe An's province and he met my mom. They married in Nghe An and gave birth to me and my little sister. When I was sixth, my dad and me moved to Ho Chi Minh City and we lived in a house in District 7, then two years later, my mom and my sister moved to Ho Chi Minh City and lived with us too. (I didn't put these information in my presentation because I was afraid that would not have enough time, I'm sorry about that)
Those are very important information because they helped me know how I was created.Every single person is should know and understand their family root. where they come from, and how they moved to the place they are living now. And those information are also affect my life, they make me remembered my identity, my family. So when I was even lived far away, I still remembered my family and meet them every year.
