The 3 advertising questions

1. It encourage, persuade, makes people want to buy their product, there are a lot of people on this planet, and most people buy "stuff", by stuff I mean a lot of things like Iphone, laptop, TV, etc. and those product needs oil, fossil fuel( which create CO2 that harm the atmosphere, polluted.), etc. to produce it in order to serve more than a billion people, people buy things, shopping, just for their happiness, and that's very waste.

2. I think the the customer didn't have enough information about the products that they buy, they don't know if the products will harmed anyone or the enviroment, or even themselves, well some product do warned the customers, like cigarettes, on the packet of cigarettes, there is a text that said "Smoking will cause lung cancer", it warned customer not to buy, but hundreds and millions of people are still bought that product. I think products usually have good and bad information about it , but people just didn't know that it's there, as a matter of fact, like the cereal mr. Blake told us, the sugar info., the producer put it at the bottom of the product so customer can't see it. Some ways to fix this problems is, we can look that product up on the internet, or books, or anything that we can to know about that products, so we'll be sure that that product it's good for them, and also not causing negative impacts on the enviroment.

3. Yes, because famouse models, celebrities are put in to the advertisement that persuade us to purchase more and more

Migration

I suppose to be a seventh grader now but, due to my terrible knowledge and my long lasting sickness, I have to retake grade 6 with a bunch of kids. To solve the problem, my parents decided to let me immigrated to the U.S. The reason why I move to U.S instead of other countries is because the education and the health-care there pulled there, in other words, the education and health-care there are outstanding. I move outside of Vietnam, in other word, external migration is because, Vietnam education is not quite good, if I migrate inside Vietnam, or internal migration, that would be useless and wasting my parent’s money
Immigrating to U.S benefit me very much, but also have some negative effects, too. The benefits are, I can improve my knowledge through many good schools of the U.S, I can go discover new things in the U.S that doesn’t have in Vietnam, and I can go to hospitals to check my health for me to rehabilitate faster so I can learn better. The bad things are, Gangsters are a lot in U.S, if my friend are one of the gangsters, I may turn bad like them, I may learn some bad habit of them, other bad effect is, I live at the U.S myself, so it is very difficult to developed my habits. Leaving Vietnam make miss my family and my best friends in school, sometimes, I sit at my table thinking about them, that make me miss them very much, also Vietnam rules is not very strict, but in U.S, it is very strict, that makes me not as comfortable as when I lived at Vietnam, but if I didn’t migrate here, I wouldn’t be smart now, I would be sick for a long time, and I wouldn’t learn how to follow rules.

A Message From Mother Nature?

1. The article talks about global warming and Climate change, weather extreme around the world.

2. Dozen: 12 things, twelve things, group of twelve.

Many countries have different traditional food, like Korea is Kim-chi I’ve also learned that there are some of my friends speak Vietnamese, but their homeland are from different country, like David, his parent is Vietnamese, but he is a Czech republican. I’ve learned a lot about culture in this project.

The reason is people often go to HCM city to find jobs. HCM city is not like countrysides, it's very loud here, mostly the sound of vehicles' horns. HCM city probably not a good place to relax.
       The elevation of HCM city is  from North lie down to South, East lie down to West, that's mean North and East is higher than South and West.
       HCM city have only to seasons, rainy season and dry season. Rainy season starts from May to November, and the dry seasons starts from December to April. The average temperature here is around 25 to 28°C., sometimes, the temp. goes up to 40°C. Polution is a very big problem to HCM city as the whole planet, the population in HCM city increase very much, people don't have good enviromental awarness, they throw trash at the street, lakes, rivers, etc., they don't recycle, so more people live here, mor etrash we'll have, which causes polution.
       HCM city is basically a city of working, although it's not a good choice to relax here, there are still some very good, comfortable 5 stars hotel that people can rest at.

Something about me

My name is Peter, my full name is Huỳnh Quang Sang. I'm 13 years old now. I study at AIS for 3 years already. I find this school is way different than the Vietnamese school I use to learn. My favorite subject is Science, I like science because I like to see tiny things like cells, bacterias, etc. through microscope. My hobby is to play computer games and play tennis. I also like to play soccer very much, my favorite football club is Man United. My favorite color is red and black mix together. I usually play computer games or listen to music when I have free time. And the last thing, I've ever wanted to go to the US because the education there is pretty good, and the landscape, too.
