陳顯讓Homework 4 - U1587 - Group B

Part I About the Bluemen performance

A. Transcribe the complete text.

Your attention please
Thank you for choosing earth as your planetary vehicle
We hope you enjoy the many wonderful features of this planet
As your hurtle through the cosmos
Please note
However
That in the event of continued inaction
In the face of global warming
Your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device

Also
Please take a moment to locate this planet's emergency exits
As you can see
There aren't any

Earth to America!
Can you hear?
Sending out a message
Loud and clear

Can you hear?

B. What do you think of this performance?

I think it's quite an inspiring video clip. Though we aren't really citizen of America, the content of the clip still applies to everyone on this planet. As long as each person make a little endeavour to stop global warming and pollution, I believe this though could be the best medicine to cure earth.

Part II About global citizenship

A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen.

Not every person is born a global citizen. What makes someone a global citizen is when he becomes connected to the society and then takes his responsibility toward the earth.

B. How can you become a better global citizen?

There are many ways to preserve the environment, the simplest one is to start from our daily life. For instance, we could use resources which could be recycled instead of those could bear using only once. In addition, we should spend energy effectively, to take mass transportation system, or to avoid unnecessary waste of electricity or water. It's quite impossible to ask everyone to insist those principles, however, I will still keep those rules. Because I believe that as long as I keep doing it, there would be one more people trying to protect the environment, but not one more people making garbages to destroy it.
