1. I disagree with the idea of everyone is being equal. Some people are good at something and some people might not be good at all. It depends on the people's talents and efforts. If some people put more effort into something than others, that would not be fair for them to be equal with others. Again, Vietnamese is a developing country. If everyone is the same, then Vietnam will stop developing.

2. People would have to take the same class everyday as everyone else does. They will not have a chance to go and study in a better environment. Everyone salary's the same. People's wealth will be taken and divided equally to everyone.

3. People who are less capable mentally, physically, physically will take extra classes to improve their skills, and abilities.

4. If a coountry where people are forced to be equal. Its very obvious that the country will stop to develop. Oneday, people will revolt against the government. They will fight their leaders for what they think is right, and there will be a time where chaos in the country happen. People die because of war. Therefore, we can keep people even dumber than they normally do to keep them in line and obey the leaders.

5. Total equality is not possible on planet earth, because no body is the same as anybody. Even siblings or twins would have something in common and something in differences. Some people are better than some people at something.

6. The part when George was saying that he refused to take the metal balls around his neck off, I felt like he's forced to do something he does not want to but as a citizen or as a follower of the laws, he must do it as part of his responsibilities.
When I was reading this story, the word communism came to my mind almost instantly when I read the first paragraph. Later on, when i saw how people were treated, I started to think about North Korean who are being treated poorly but equally with any other North Korean

Advertising effects how the audience thinks, and the advertisements always say the positive things to attract the audience to buy their products, and consume their products.

2. Not really, but we can be more informed by reading more articles about sustainability, or reading newspapers or people who know how to live sustainable can educate others, too.

3.Definitely yes.

An immigration of a family

            I have a friend whose name’s Kratos. He is Greek, and he lived in a city called Sparta. Three years ago, Kratos was living in Sparta. One day, a gigantic storm came and destroyed most of the buildings, manners, houses, and food resources. Cows, sheep, chickens were killed in the storm. Many animals died as well as people. Trees and vegetables were mostly blown away. Therefore, the price of food went up a lot, because of the storm’s destruction. Many farmers can’t afford to buy food for there family, and many of them died of famine. Kratos’s father is a farmer, and his family couldn’t afford to buy those very expensive foods, and there was a famine in all over Greece They have couple good friends who were very rich, and they lived in Vietnam.They finally decided to immigrate to Russia illegally by a big boat, and from Russia they will find a way to Vietnam. They moved outside of the country, because he couldn’t go anywhere within the country anymore, because famines are all over Greece. External-immigrating wasn’t so easy. They knew that they would face great dangers in this journey, but after this big journey, they’ll find themselves living better lives. They packed all their belongings, and headed to Vietnam by the big boat.
 The boat was arriving in Russia, and from Russia, immigrants could take flights to China with very cheap flight tickets. They are not alone. They’d got companies on their journey, too. No one other than Kratos’s family was going to Vietnam. Most of their companies were heading to China to find a better life to live, but they all were afraid of the boat running out of fuel or getting crashed. The boat’s engines were fine at the moment, and the boat was moving quite fast. Suddenly, the engine was running out of fuel. They had no choice but kept moving to Russia. Unfortunately they were caught by the police, and those immigrants knew that they were going to the prison. The police wasn’t asking the immigrants to prison, but for some money. The police patrols were kind and gave them some oil so that they could continue. It is the seventh day of the journey, and there were several people that died. Kratos and his family had survived for 7 days, and they were running out of food. Fair enough. They could hardly survive before they could make it to Russia, because there was going to be a storm that they would have to avoid. There was the storm. Everyone was praying Poseidon to calm the sea. There were several people who could not handle the storm and fell off the boat, and one of them was Kratos’s mother. Kratos woke up after the boat passed the most dangerous moment. Kratos was miserable because of his loss of a family member. Finally, they made it to Russia. The boat unbelievably survived the storm. Although, It is greatly damaged. In Russia, Kratos and his dad took a flight to China. They settled in Beijing’s outskirt. They were happy because they at least have a shelter to live. A few months later, they came to Vietnam. In Vietnam, Kratos’s dad’s friend helped his dad to join a business carreer due to his dad’s foreign language. His dad earned some money by doing that job, and they seemed to have better lives than it could have been in Sparta.

Article's question

The Main point of the artical is the changes in climates, weather, because of the overuses of chemical properties by human.
2. Climatologists: those people who study or research about climate.

weather is what happens due to the atmosphere of the earth in the short amount of time, and can be changed often. Climate is the weather of an area due to its location on the earth, and weather depends on the climate of an area.
4.
Flood battered in England, breaking heat-wave, bigger storm, intense drought are the extreme weather that are listed in the article.
5. I had suffered because of the heat-wave in Saigon. It’s part of Global warming.
6. Perception means to realize something.
