I read about the major School of Travel Industry Management of University of Hawaii. It says that students have to complete 400hour internship in the area of hospitality management or tourism and transportation management such as in a hotel. Also, there are only 340 people in the undergraduate program so it is a small school. I want to be a flight attendant someday and I would love to learn about Travel Industry Management so I thought this could be the perfect major for me.

internship= a system of on-the-job training usually for college students

I read about other natural disasters in the book I have been reading. It said that the scientists believe that cyclone, floods, torrential rainfalls, droughts, and other weather catastrophes will increase in the coming decades because of the rising temperatures. It also said that the weather related disaster causes deaths, homelessness, and affect local economy. It is harder for the people who live in poor countries to recover from the disasters because they have less money and resources. I think we who live in industrialized countries should think about how we are living right now and reduce some energy consumptions so that we can save our world and live better lives.

torrential adjective pouring

torrential rain had been killed soo many people.

I read a shocking thing from the book I introduced last time again. It says that over twenty thousand square miles of ice which is nearly the size of West Virginia disappear each year. It is because gas discharges combined with human industry are making the temperature higher. I knew that some ice is melting each year but I never knew that the West Virginia’s size of ice is disappearing each year and made me think we really have to do something to stop this situation. I think each one of us can do something, such as stop using car when you can walk or stop using plastic bags when you do not needed, to protect our world.

contaminated verb poluted
you can not drink this water because it is contaminated.

I am taking global issues this term and I found that I actually did not know many of the things that are happening to the earth so I decided to share some of the things i read from the book called “the future of the earth”. It said that from the 1980s to the 1990s, the number of people in the world who affected by natural disasters increased 50%. For example, almost 318,000 people died and more than 81 million people lost their house by catastrophic floods which has dramatically increased. I hear a lot about natural disasters these days on the news but I was surprised that I actually do not know a lot about this and it made me sad.

Week 2;1

I have read a book called "10 things to do before i die" and I really like this book. This story is about a boy who ate potato that was poisoned and found out that he can only live for 24hours,so his best friends and he tried to do 10 things he wants to do before he dies. I think this is a good stories because it taught me that i have to live my life to the fullest because we never know what is going to happen.
