Stuff which I hate about HCT

I am a student from HCT who is going to write about the college way which I really disagree with it. In this essay I will write about stuff which I don’t like about my college which really make me feel like I am a child.

HCT which is Higher College of Technology, I have been a student in this college for almost 2 years and right now I am in common year taking my final exams. My college is best in several way but there are some stuff which I don’t like about HCT. First of all, the college treat us like children. How? Absents, they just want the student to come to the college like in high school, come on now we all know what best for us and what the use of making it hard on us because some of us is not sponsored and they study at morning and afterwards they work till midnight and they don’t even get a chance to be with their family. Even though they are good with their marks but still college want them to come because it’s there policy and they don’t care if the guy have to divorce his wife for being busy not having time for her. Yet another thing which I don’t like about HCT is method of teaching, keeping teachers in a chain and not letting them teach the student in a free way. Following orders from someone who don’t know anything about the student while if the teacher was free to choose the method which she want then I guarantee that less student will fail because teachers know exactly what level is each student. One more thing is that the class rooms. It has less safety and if any one of them got in fire the all class will be in danger and even dead can be happen. Just spending lots of money for building those caravans while they can built class’s with that money which will be more safety and cooler.

I am not complaining while everything was provided free for locals student. Just giving my opinion about the college way and I am not a expert just want to say even I know nothing will change and everything will be same.

We born without knowing anything and we learn till we die. In my common year in engineering I have learned a lot of new stuff which I will be writing in this small letter as thanks for my favorite teacher Molly .

This year my English course was really exciting because of the new things I learn in this semester. First, I have learned more stuff about global warming and stuff which effect our planet. Yet another thing which I learned this year was about how to summaries an article at the beginning it was kind a hard bit now when I think about it I laugh at myself, because all what you have to do is to read and understand and write it in your own words. Next, I learn more about carbon footprint which was something really new and I didn’t knew that everything we does have a reaction to our planed. After knowing that I started thinking twice before doing anything and which really helped me to save lots of money. At the end we learn more about presenting and the speaking skills.

This year was something which I can’t ever forget. With all my classmates the moment which I spent with them is really something for me. While which make me sad is leaving a teacher like molly because she really saw me like her own son and helped me in every way she can and giving me chances to improve.

Task 7 My Footprint

In the last few years the rate of pollution has increased dramatically because of the life style. Everyone wants to live a very comfortable life and I were one of those people. I abuse my planet every day by doing my daily uses. In this essay I will write about the main problems which I face in my life which increase my footprint and solution to reduce it.

There are several important problems which lead to a huge carbon footprint. First of all, I don’t recycle stuff like papers, empty plastic bottles and cans. Yet another problem is that I use lots of water and electricity, and electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal, propane, natural gas, or heating oil(Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology). Next problem is transport. I use cars which have huge cylinders like V8,V6 which means cars burn petrol which eventually lead to a big carbon footprint(Reduce your carbon footprint). The last problem which I face is the amount of light bulbs for example in my room I have 10 bulbs while I just need 2 to make my room bright. Also the type of bulb I use is the one which uses a high amount of electricity(Re-think your lifestyle).

For every problem there is a solution and it’s never too late to make things right, and we all make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean we have to keep doing it. Time for me to change my habit and live a life which won’t hurt my planet and I don’t care if others will do the same just freeing myself from guilt. The first solution, if to start doing recycling stuff like cans, plastic bottle and papers(Re-think your lifestyle, Reduce your carbon footprint). Even I will stop buying the latest products like phone, TV, Electronic games and iPod. Yet another solution is that I will use less electricity and try to switch the light off the day time and reduce the amount of bulbs and choose the one which needs less energy. Next, I will use cars which have small cylinder like V4 and try to use public transport, letting my friends help each other. This way I will help my planet and myself reduce footprint and save my money which I spent on filling my patrol tank(Reduce your carbon footprint).

It’s not too late for me to change and I am sure if I follow these solutions I can make my life better, healthier and happier. I can change my future because it’s all depends on my will.

Cool Cities: Task 6

The world is going forward in a unbelievable way , were everyone want to have a standard life style. However this issue made the planet face a global warning by increasing the amount of CO2. World now planning for a new cities which called “Cool Cities” will it work in UAE. I am going to argue about the cool cities, whether I agree or disagree with this idea.

The cool city is a wonderful project which helps us to reduce the pollution, because people will be using less energy in these cities. However the life style will be effected by this cities. Were people have to use more public transport and there will be less energy to use. Leaving behind harmful gases and using clean energy which don’t cause problems to anyone (Cavanaugh).
However the population of the country is way too high and these cities can only hold 50 thousand people, what will be the population of the world in future. Next, cool cities need 22 billion dollar to build one, so countries with higher population will need lots of cool cities which will cost them trillions of money (Cheung).

The lifestyle need little change to better from worse and stop wasting lots of energy by changing our routine of life. We don’t need these cities to reduce to save our world because if we can’t change our habit no matter what we do to save our planet it useless.

In conclusion, these cities will be awesome idea if it was cheaper, provide suitable lifestyle for people, if had a better climate in UAE. However not everyone can afford living in these cool cities and it’s need lots of money so better think of a solution to reduce CO2. By doing recycle and recreate stuff.
