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.
    Reluctant: Not doing something, unwilling to do something
    Skeptics: Person who don't trust or believe in anything.
    Amid: in a middle of a process, during something.

3. Climate is weather that happen for a long period of time, Weather happens for short period of time.

4. - Torrential monsoon rains in Pakistan
    -  A record- breaking heat wave along with a record-breaking drought destroyed millions of acres of wheat and sparked wildfires that killed dozens.
    - Flooding in the U.S

5. I have seen a typhoon that a guy film it on howstuffwork.com, and on newspaper, other than that, I have never experience any of the extreme weather.

6. When we understand something, that's our perception.

Movement
Ferraran use and waste too much gas, so time pass, the lakes and rivers of gasoline are less and less, then one day, Ferraran no longer have gasoline, so they start to attack other land in order to have more gasoline. So they attack Lamborghini. The war ended terribly, Lamborghana win.  So in order to have gas, Ferraran have to trade coal with gas to Lamborghana. Other one is Porschini, the Porschinian discover a new island from Lamborghana, so they start conquering, but once again, The Lamborghana still won.  But then the two country Porschini and Lamborghana become friends, then they start trade woods with gasoline to each other.

What I have learn

The things that I have learned in this Family Tree project is, there are many different rituals, holidays, tradition, religions etc. at many other countries to Vietnam. Some are Buddhism, Christianity, some are non-religious. 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.
