My personal Reflection

 

In this course, I learned many important things that helped me in the class and in my life. First of all, I wrote a lot of writing exercise in the class that was very good for me to improve my writing skills. I could write a summary for any paragraph and get the main point for each sentence. Also I learned how to use bibliography because we needed for our refrains. Moreover, he taught us how can do inline sanitation. Always he tried to make anything easy for us. For example before we started the work, he gives us an example and after the whole class understand, he let us to work.

In the last period, he taught us about how we can write an essay. And he made it so easy for us, he gave us some steps which it can support our essay. Firstly, we did outline for our topic. It contains the important things that we actually needed for our essay. After that, we researched on internet about some articles about our topics. And then we summarize these articles and we got the main point. Next class we will write the last draft.

In conclude, Mr. Gregory helps us too much, and if we have any problem, we can go to his desk or contact him by e-mail or call him. So he can solved for us and give us some advices. So I really hope to continue with Mr. Gregory because we always learned a new thing in his class.

Houbara bustards

 

People from Morocco take care of tiny chicks, and help them to grow. Nowadays, the bird’s life is in danger, because of poaching, so the Abu Dhabi government protects these birds. Also, there are some centers for Houbara conservation in China and Turkmenistan who have proposed new conservation projects which its supported by UAE government. Morocco‘s center had the goal to release 15,000 each season instead of 12,000. People trained the birds to be familiar with them for breeding. Houbaras lay about 3 eggs which take 3 weeks to hatch. Birds are kept in wire cages covered by cloth and they release them after the hunting season. After the scientists release the birds, they track their movements. The number of birds are increasing, which means that the program is successful.   As the writer discussed “spring is breeding season for the houbara bustard and a busy time for staff at the two centers” (Todorova, V. 2011).

Graded summary #1

The Masdar project

Masdar is a company that’s trying to produce a clean energy. Masdar is located in UAE near KSA. Wind farm cost US$200 million. The Gulf is not a windy area, so they are improving specialized blades to generate energy. They are trying to join two 100 megawatt solar plants Shams 1 and Nour 1 to produce renewable energy to meet the AbuDhabi Government’s 7% goal by 2020. The plant could produce 100mw. They will start sending the power after 2 years. In the GCC developing wind power is more difficult than solar due to the limited number of windy days in the region. To install megawatt they have to pay $2m for each one for total price of $200, and would be supported by the AD government, along with banks and foreign partners.
