Boyan Slat & The Ocean Cleanup -- Riho

  Today, I watched some movies, Boyan Slat and the Ocean Cleanup.  I think he has an ability to take action because he begun to try to solve the ocean pollution when he was only 16 years old. Also, his project  is included  some of creative ideas. For instance, he could achieve experiment and discovered from results that bird misunderstand the food and eat red plastic. 

In my opinion, I suppose he is passionate and active person. so, these personality made he fueled.

I suppose that his project would be getting better. I not sure that if his project is good or not. They suggested it is be able to clean 90% plastic in the ocean until 2040. However, this way takes a lot of time and money due to ocean is huge and hard environment depend on the weather. I guess  that object which is used as adsorbent something useful to collect plastic.

    The task of cleaning up the world's oceans is a formidable one, but at least Slat & his team are putting a dent in it. I would say he has also probably inspired many of us in this class to be careful about what we do with the single-use plastic containers we use. David :-)

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
