The The Day After Tomorrow

The day After Tomorrow is the movie that describes a happening natural disaster. This movie, directed by Roland Eerily and the main character is Jake and Danice, father and son, and then portrays a real natural disaster. It also indicates that we all have to take it so hard, and then it may be a good role model in preparing for future. In addition, NY, New York, is being set as a background in this movie, meaning that this city would be in the sink in a few decades. As this city has lots of snow, rain, hail, storm and tornado, it is becoming in the sink. Since citizens are aware of these facts, they struggle to survive in these hazardous circumstances. I recommend that everyone go out and see this movie.
This movie is a story related to natural phenomenon, takes a lot of special effects to make viewers understand easily. It gives me lots of instruction, and then has lot of meaningful thing, like global warming and greenhouse effect. I like this movie so much in terms of being able to accept the fact that natural disasters in this point should be regarded as a serious environmental problem, and then we have to take care of them carefully. From that perspective, this movie ends with giving instructive theme. Furthermore, I want to claim that hazards in this movie are the most remarkable environmental issues all over the world.
All things considered, this movie is recommendable for those who are interested in science, environmental science and scientific issues. The story in this movie means that we have to be aware of the fact that these disasters are inevitable problems. Moreover, we have to think about ways of solving them. I felt that I am no exception in this case. A movie that depicts interesting issues is successful in making people know about that. By doing so, many people would treat them efficiently.

Compare my hometown to Seattle(Contrast)

Seattle is a different city from my hometown in many ways. Of course, there might be some similarities to my hometown, like entertainment, restaurant and so on. From my perspectives, the difference is far outweigh the similarities; environment, weather and pollution.

To begin with, environment is entirely different in many ways. In general, people have their own condition to adjust to their environment, and then it leads to their satisfaction. To illustrate this point, people who live in this city seem not to be busy all the time, while those who live in my hometown are always busy and live busy lives. In addition to this, people who live in this city feel peaceful in living their lives in this city and feel relaxed while, those who live in my hometown rarely feel calm and comfortable. Furthermore, it is common that people do not have enough break time to take some rests in my country; on the other hand, those who live in the city have their break term especially on weekend. In this context, environment in this city is certainly different from that in my country.

Moreover, weather is one of the most remarkable factors in this city. Generally speaking, all countries have their own climate, and then it is a factor in determining many things, such as food, living and so on. For instance, when I came to this city, it was rainy a lot. Sometimes, it was sunny, cold and cool. That is to say, the weather in this city changes a lot. People who live in this city always say that it takes shower too often, and then it tends to be changed into being cold. As time passed, it has changeable weather, such as it is raining in the morning but it changes into being sunny in the afternoon, and then it rains a lot in cold weather. According to a forecast reported by ABC news in 2007, it has been raining a lot, and then the amount of rain is becoming increase. It is said that it takes shower very often in this city. Unlike this city, my hometown has a mild climate. To exemplify, it is sunny and hot in summer and it is cold in winter. In this sense, weather is differentiating factor in representing this city in terms of having lots of rain regardless of season.

Finally, pollution is an indispensable feature. To tell the truth, problems related to pollution, such as air pollution and water pollution are being considered seriously. This city is commonly called evergreen, in that it has fresh air a lot, and then it refreshes our life. This is largely because people have a tendency not to drive their car too often. On the contrary, my hometown always goes through some smog. Since they drive their car very often and the amount of gas emission is increasing, it probably leads to air pollution. In this regard, it is a pollution that it determines the city, and then it is being regarded as a critical factor.

All things considered, Seattle has a lot of differences from my hometown. Given the chance to choose factors that represent this city, I would choose three factors; environment, weather and pollution. At the same time, both of them have a similar taste in kinds of entertainment, restaurant and so on.

Holiday

What is your favorite holiday in your country? Sometimes, it is difficult to tell about my favorite holiday in my country. Of course, there are other holidays, like Thanksgiving day, Children`s day, Nation`s day and so on. From my perspectives, I would choose the New Year`s day as my favorite holiday in my country for the following two reasons; having family gathering and eating delicious foods.
To begin with, people usually meet their family in this day. Generally speaking, it is the day that people meet their grandparents, relatives, and then they say hello to each other. A study conducted by the Minister Of Family in 2007 shows that more than half of people meet their family twice or three times in year due to the fact that it is original day that is supposed to do that. To illustrate this point, when it is the day, people usually go to their hometown through highway by driving car, and then they get to meet their family to say hello to each other. In this context, the New Year`s day offers an opportunity to meet family to say hello.
In addition, we originally get to try some delicious foods. To tell the truth, there are traditional food which represents our ancestor`s wisdom to their descendant. Many experts claim that when people meet their family each other, they naturally get to eat some delicious food. Furthermore, by eating tasty foods together, they have a quality time with each other. People who do this way agree with the above statement. In this regard, trying tasty food provide chance to have a great time with each other to people.
All things considered, the New Year`s day provide people with opportunities to meet their family and eat delicious food. Moreover, it gives us great quality time to get together, and then we naturally feel closer to each other.
