Hi Alan and everyone, In Australia this year we have had heavy rain and flooding on the Eastern half of the Continent, and drought on the South Western corner of Australia. Global warming is a problem that everyone should take responsibility for and take action to do something about. I would like to encourage everyone to optimize the use of energy to reduce our daily carbon emissions by thinking about how we use energy in our daily existence. So what are we going to do for World Environment Day? For me, I intend to reduce power use by taking shorter shower time, turning off lights which I'm not using, walking whenever possible instead of using the car , buying food with less packaging, and generally trying to reduce my overall consumption of things I don't need. I personally prefer not to eat too much meat and prefer fruits, grains and vegetables as they use five times less water than production of meat. Experts say that making many small changes to your lifestyle, you can cut your daily emissions by up to 60% and make a positive impact on the environment. Regards to all, Unchan |

Hello everyone, My name is Unchan. I'm from a traditional Thai background, but I live in Australia permanently. I chose to live in Australia because I couldn't cope with the heat and high humidity in Thailand which affected my allergy problems. In Thailand, I remember when I was young we had 2 months of winter and in summer it was about 34 degrees celsius, but now, they only seem to have one season(rainy summer) and sometimes can be 40 degrees celsius. I had to use air conditioning all year round which I don't like. I like to live naturally with fresh clean air, not air conditioning. In Australia, I don't need air conditioning at all because the quality of air here is a lot better than in Bangkok. As all the Aussie people always say: Beautiful one day, and perfect the next. Anyhow global warming have transformed my living.
By the way, this is my first voice massage, please correct my mistakes. Thank you, bye bye...... |

Dear sir, I must say that you are very patient with me as a teacher and as an English man. Thank you very much for what you sent me. I'm really very weak at writing. Therefore, I find that your essays are really interesting and very exciting. I learn a lot from what you've written: knowledge, grammar, the ways you express what you mean and the ways you interest readers from your words. Again, thank you very much for your essays, sir. In fact, I'm very sorry that I don't have much time to read these essays thoroughly. I wish I had more time for these because I realize that I can also learn about culture from your masterpiece writings. I hope you always have time for me. I'll try my best to learn your lessons. Thank you very much. My Tram Le Nguyen |

Dear sir, Could you help me? I have to work hard every day. So, I don't have time to learn more things. Five years ago, I felt that I was still young, and I stayed up late to learn my advanced lessons. I learned with my strong will. Now, I also want to learn many things, especially about English. I want this: the older I am, the better I am at English. But at the same time, I realize that I am old. I'm forty - one. At the end of hard - working days, I always feel exausted. Then, I only want to have a rest. How can I overcome this? How can I have clear eyes for my English lessons after work? Please help me. |

| The easy is very interesting. In my country, we have four seasons, summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. Spring is the most beautiful season full of nice flowers, green land and a nice weather. The Summer is very hot but dry and it is not like 20 years ago, the weather was not so hot as these years however, this year is better than the last year. Last year the governmental offices in my country reduce the working hours but this year we did not. We have a very nice tourist sites and you can enjoy the huge mountains, waterfalls and very nice weather. So many tourists from Iran, Turkey and Arabs of the south of Iraq are visiting our region. The global warming affected the whole world we may expect worse in the future. |

run up - usually the smaller events leading to a major event. Alternatively the distance a sportsman runs before kick a ball, throwing at goal, etc. More context is needed.
egos - plural of ego = A person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

well global warming is a significant issue to talk about in these days, because its affecting everyone and everything,
in my country there are many strategies followed to reduse the impact of this phenomenon like recycling reduction in use of oil and depending on reneable energy
and lots more , and i do hope that we all contribute to the reduction of co2 in our atmosphere |
