Advertisement

1. Advertisement effect greatly on the consumption of people all over the world because it persuade people to buy their products. Advertisements are every where, but they never tell about the environment effect of the products so it also greatly effect the world environment.

2. No because all the advertise usually tell us about the good positive things about the product but not the negative. We should make the law that require the company to show the toxic or the negative natural impact on the product that they make.

3. The ads always make me want to buy the products that they advertising by using models and best things to persuade us.

Migration

The train started to move leaving from behind my hometown. It passed through old farm fields that I used for a playground when I was young but that was 10 years ago. Now I’m eighteen, I have to go to the city for university because back in my rural hometown, there are no collages or universities, It has only an elementary school, middle school and high school. I know that I will have hard times fitting in when I move to the city. I have to learn the way urban people live. I have a headache because my mom always tells me to stay away from society problems. I decided to go the city not just because of university, there also many opportunities for jobs and business.

The city is a lot different than countryside. Money is very important in the city. I cannot rely on my family because they have enough problems of their own. I am the only child, I had to help my parents a lot in the farm. I am afraid that they cannot do it on their own so I will try to study as hard as I can and also I will work a part time job so that they don’t have to worry about me anymore. I go back once a while when I get the chance, I promise to myself that I will never forget about my hometown. It is like a shelter for my heart and when I think about it, it helps me to get out of strain.

Computer World

During the occupation, the Virus discovers that Computer Land rain a lot. The whole idea about the occupation is about the electric mines. The Virus running out of electric because they only have three mines but the Computer World have way more mines then that. Most of the citizens in the Computer World lives near the RAM river to have easy assess to the water because it most of the mines locate out in the ocean. The Virus blocked all of the entrants to the ocean so that the people have to pay for them for electric. The Virus cannot adapt with the raining climate in the Computer World because in the Virus World, there is no rain, only desert so they have to move back to the Virus World but some still stay the continue the occupation.

Many of the Virus soldiers are dead be cause of the climate changing. That makes it easier for the underground resistance. The resistance are making plans for years and finding a good time to attack. The resistance led by a person call Microsoft. The head of the resistance is in the wires forest because that the place where the virus never go in. It has many rains, all year long and it can help travel information fast. Not may people live in the wires forest because there is no food, the wires tree cannot be chopping down, and the forest is very dens so it will be easy to get lose. The resistance has to know very well about the forest for make it to be there head place and them have to depends on the food sources outside and it have to move carefully.

The development of chip farms help the resistance to get more advance chips so that they can upgrade the anti virus groups. The number of the Virus soldiers still decreasing. The resistance group moves out of the forest and relocate near the river so they can easily move. The Anti Virus groups started there attack, first in the village near the river where most of the Virus army stay. The Virus army surprise by the attack and they try to contact to the Virus World for back up but the signal get blocked by the Anti Virus. The Virus are out number and they are hopeless. Most of the army killed by the Anti Virus and some surrender and get in jail located in 40 degree South and 55 degree east. The Anti Virus groups quickly put up the Ice Wall around the border of the Computer World to keep out the Virus. They also create the headmaster in the Southeast of the World so it can be well protect and Microsoft gets to be their leader.

What I had learn

I learnt one thing about Chinese culture is the food binding. Long time ago, wealthy woman get one of their feet wrap in some kind of wood shoe like high heels so their foot will stay in one shape. It shows that the wealth women don't need to walk with their own feet, they have servants to carry them around. I also learnt that many of my friends is half Chinese and half Vietnamese.

Some of my friend also come form different place in the world like France, USA and Germany. I also learn that different part of the world have different culture and tradition like in Asia people mostly follow Buddhism but in North America South America and Europe people mostly follow Christianity. I love when people present about food because i really like food and i can learn more about the different of food between different regions.

My vacation

Last summer, I went to Da Lat with my family. It took about 4 to 6 hours of driving depends on the road is clear or not. Opposite to Nha Trang, Da lat is high in the mountain, and on the way up to Da Lat, I saw a lot of beautiful place on the mountain. It very natural and fresh, is a lot cooler then Ho Chi Minh city and it made meh feel very relaxing after 2 months staying at home and suffer the heat. There were a lot of waterfalls sin Da Lat, it's very beautiful because it make you feel like you go back to the wild. Sometimes we could see the clouds touching the peak of the mountain, so it's look like we living one the sky.

 Thing get a bit more chilly in the night because there is no sun. Almost everybody wear jackets or maybe 2, but there still a few people wear sleeveless shirt and shorts, I guess that they adapted to the cold here. The weather here is very good for planting vegetables and flowers, also some fruits like grapes and strawberry. There are a lot of farms for vegetable and fruits, when I go around sightseeing, i saw dozen of them. If you buy vegetable in Ho Chi Minh city cost about 7 or 8 thousands VND but you can get it in Da Lat with 1 or 2 thousands. Da Lat also have a lot of lakes, Xuan Huong lake probably the most well-known lake in Da Lat. I like to sit at some coffee shop near the the lake and drink hot cocoa while looking at the beautiful feature of it. Da Lat also have some small forests, every make Da Lat became a natural and a good place when you want relaxation.
