MY PERSONAL ASPECTS ON TRIESTE
There are many aspects on Trieste but my two favourite ones are the port in general and the weather. With the port many trade agencies and many merchants used this port. The port became important when the Suez canal opened because the ships could finally cut through Africa and Arabia to get straight through Greece or Italy. This port became also important because Emperor Asbury (an Austrian emperor) because he choose it as his favourite port and so an important one. With this Trieste became as important as Rome, much more important than what it's now. This port attracts me a lot thinking how old it is and how many important people and ships passed through it. It also attracts me because it's incredible how much a port or anything else may become really important just because an emperor choose so. Also weather in my opinion is interesting (but not as much as the port).Weather in Trieste is constantly changing. One week freezing cold with a lot of wind, one week with constant full sun with no clouds and no wind and one week with just lots of “Bora” and fog. “Bora” is a north-eastern wind that is the only cause of broken umbrellas in Trieste. The warmest summer in Trieste was in the 2003 and the coldest winter was in the 2005.

EDITORIAL COMMENTARY: GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is a very big problem. It is the increasing of temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans. This means that in some years time the north and the south poles will melt, this means that the sea level will rise and cities like Venice will be submerged. (Piazza Unità wont exist any more!) All this happens because of the increase of the greenhouse gas. (all those factories around the world, all those polluting cars!) This should also weigh on the conscience of all those business man that sell all the petrol they have. They should sell it with a very high price so anybody would bi it for their cars and no gas cars will be around and people will start selling hydrogen or electric cars! They both already exist! They could be already sold and global warming wouldn't be such a big problem with no more gas cars! There are many ways to slow down the global warming: one day a year all states and countries wouldn't be able to use cars, light of day (organized first in Canada) and many other ways. Don't think that all the polluted air comes just from factories, but the 23% of Earth's pollution comes from simple homes. Using certain light bulbs would also would also decrease the use of energy and the global warming problem would be postponed more farther on. If you do the differentiated collection (of trash) you do a very good thing for helping the environment but I saw a program on TV that proofed that some agencies that occupy them selfs of differentiated collection of trash trow everything together and this is a very bad and dishonest thing! Help us stopping this StUpId mistakes of humans by thinking how grave the situation really is!

letter for Mr. Pastore
Dear Mr.Pastore,
I have done all six blog entries and have inputted them on my blogger site. I have also written the rough copies in my notebook. As grade I think I should earn an A- or A because I worked hard all the lessons. I did all my work on time. As proofreading I think I have done a pretty good job and my grammar was most of the time correct. I have already completed all the comments in a constructive way. The the amount of the words in the blog entries is correct, and the titles are also as you asked us to write them. My work has improved a lot from the last quarter. I would like to earn a grade, for which I fought a lot for.
Sincerely Your student France Viler P.S. = On Thursday I won't be at School

Science Entry: Generators
Mr. S assigned me a project on generators. Since i have a boat with a huge generator i thought of filming the video of the project there, in Croazia, where Nokolas Tesla started distribuiting a system of alternating current that is really important for generators. Many people probably think that generators work in a really complex way but it's not really true. A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It uses motion to create an electric current. There are two types of generators but work almost in the same way: AC generators and DC generators. I based my project all on this. There are some generators that are really simple like the ones in our science book. Whilst there are some others that are really complex which arn't easy to understand. This last type of generators are used for example in cruise ships. If you are in a place with no electricity, a generator would be perfect if you wanted to cook or have just some lights on.

ARTS BLOCK: FLUTE
In the Mid Summer Night Dream i play Flute. Flute is a very funny character. He is a joung man with short hair and broun eyes, he also is a bit dumb. In a cetain scene in the play inside the play he acts dummie and makes it fun whilst it should be a sad love story. In a cetain scene of the play Flute recites the part of the girl, she should be a very sad character but Flute recites her in a very funnny way. He is Thisby, aa joung lady which should be desperate because her love killed himslef but she esagerates. When Piramus, Thisbi's boyfriend, killed himselfe was reciting (as Thisby did) esagerated. He shoued to different ways in which he suicided, and this made lough everybody watching the play in the play. Another thing for which it was really easy to lough from was the voice Flute had trying to imitate the voice of a joung lady. As a character Flute is also a bit dummie and funny and if he tries to do it even more it would be impossible not to lough.
