global warming. panic or reality?

1. Read the text and answer the questions by visiting the links




1. The text


Global warming is already under way. The evidence is vast and the urgency of taking action becomes clearer with every new scientific study. Some of the most obvious signs are visible in the Arctic, where rising temperatures and melting ice are dramatically changing the region’s unique landscapes and wildlife—as well as people’s lives and livelihoods. Across the globe, other early warning signs include melting glaciers, shifting ranges of plants and animals, and the earlier onset of spring.

2. The questions and the answers

1. What is global warming?
Is an effect that makes the temperatures are going to be warmer.
2. What is the process involved in the greenhouse effect?
The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse.
3. What signs warn us about global warmming?
Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives.
4. Can you quote another term for global warming?
I think we can tell the beggining of the end of the Homo Sapiens sapiens.
5. Watch the video and explain this idea: Global warming: panic or reality?

3. THE BIG QUESTION: What can we do to stop global warming? Suggest five ideas.




• We can recycle


• We can use more public transport


• We can use another energies

3D Cinema

a century ago the cinema became popular. Now the cinema is changing a lot. Some companies invent 3D. Is for going cinema more exciting. The 3D tecnologies was created at 1950 but don't became popular bacause cause eye strees and was expensive. now fifty years ago a lot of films are 3D. The 3D start to became popular at 2009 with the film Avatar. After that a lots of people goes to cinema to watch 3D.

Writing: Bob marley

Robert Nesta Marley was Jamaican singer. He was born in Jamaica in 1945. When he was at fourteen years old he went to live in Kingston. Finally he die in in Miami in 1981.
Bob Marley starts to compose and sing music when he was 18 years old. nine years later he did his first album and he became famous. One year later he did his second album. Finally eight years later he did his last work, the album "Uprising". One year later he die at the age of 36.
The best words of Bob Marley are "could you be loved" and "No woman no cry". He became the best singer of Regge music in the history.



Finally one of his bests sings"could yor be loved"

Magazine: Jaden and Willow smith

A few month ago, most people didn't know willow Smith. But today, she is everywhere. Willow suddenoly became a star with her first single"Whip my hair" Willow's brother Jaden, aged 12 is also famous: He was in the films "the Pussuit of Happinies" and "Karate kid".
Willow and Jaden's parents are actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. They have been criticized for pushing their children in the world of stars. But Willow andJaden seem confortable with fame. They are talented and ambitious: Willow says she wants to wurk with pop star Lady Gaga! Jaden and Willow are proving that the kids of stars can have success on their own.

I think Jaden and Willow are going to became like Michael Jackson becouse in his age do this is very dangerous.

Magazine: The tourist

In this comedy-thriller, Jonny Depp plays Frank, an American tourist visiting Italy. A woman called Elise (Angelina Jolie) meets him on the train to Venice. She uses Frank to confuse the people who are looking for her ex-boyfriend, who is a Fugitive. Frank and Elise are soon part of exciting story of intrigue and danger in Romantic Venice.

I think this film will be good becouse it had a lot's of good actors like Jonny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

Magazine :the famous Smith family

The famous smith Family

You know the famous actor Will Smith and wis wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

You also know their son, jaden, who was in Karate kid. Now meet their daughter, Willow smith, aged ten. She was realessed her first single, "Whip my hair". Willow's nick name is "Baby rihanna" because" becouse her music and style influenced by rihana.
