Reflection 1

We planned as a start with the teacher at English Reading and writing class to improve our summary writing, therefore in the beginning we started to write and practice some summaries and see where is our mistakes so we doesn’t do the mistakes again, however by doing this thing it has improved my summary writing and basically choosing the correct main point along with its supporting points.

As a result we did two graded summaries and I had a great start with a 87% and in the second was disappointed with 80%, however I really improved my summary writing in this amazing lesson and it also helped me to write summaries in other classes too such as cultural diversity class and hope I doesn’t have problems writing a summary in the future.

In this lesson since we started I learned also before I write a summary a do a layout and it helped me how to organized it and write it without having any problems while I’m writing the summary.

In this meanwhile I’m writing an essay under the topic Geothermal Energy, however we started to do a layout on how we’ll do it; to make it easier when we’ll write the essays, therefor we also bring two articles and write a summary about the article. The article should also talk about the history of Geothermal and its development.

To conclude since we started until know I have improved my summary writing and my grammar too.

Houbara Bustards

As the author discussed, “The birds are endangered North African houbara bustards (Todorova, V. 2011) However, the Abu Dhabi – Based International Fund for Houbara Conservation was created in 1995 to prevent the houbara becoming extinct. The effort through breeding, for example, in Morocco by in-vitro fertilization ensures that Houbara bustards are increasing with genetically strong population. Also breeding facilities were built in UAE, China and Kazakhstan is build  a result the Emirates Center for wildlife propagation has produced more than 60000 houbara birds between 1995 and last year.
