Boyan Slat & The Ocean Cleanup -- Gift

    Boyan Slat is a very inspiring person. He has a creative mind and really cares about saving our planet. His project, The Ocean Cleanup, shows how hard he works to make his ideas happen, even when it’s tough. He thinks differently and stays committed to his goal, which has helped him achieve a lot.

    One of his best qualities is his determination. Even when his first idea to collect plastic didn’t work, he didn’t give up. He learned from it and kept trying, showing how strong he is.

    What’s really interesting is that The Ocean Cleanup not only collects plastic but also sorts and recycles it. For example, from a video I watched today, I saw how they turn the collected plastic into new products, like sunglasses. It’s amazing to see how old plastic can be turned into something useful again. 

    I think The Ocean Cleanup can be very successful in the future. Slat is determined to keep improving his ideas and fixing problems. Even though it won’t be easy, his hard work and creative thinking will help the project make a big difference in cleaning our oceans.

    It is really cool of him that he tries everything to make his ideas come true, isn't it? I also admired him for that. Additionally, the idea of recycling those plastics is intriguing, imagine the plastic and the waste which people normally don't care much can be recreate into newly usable stuff XD

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
