b) What do you think of this performance?
I think the performance is pretty awesome. They created music and added the video part to it perfectly.
It is a great musical performance without the global warming disasters already, but it became so meaningful
once the videos are complete. I didn't know Bluemen are that much concerning about the world. Now I have totally
change my mind about them.
Part II About global citizenship
a) In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I am actually a person who participate in water sports a lot, and when I am at the beach, I often try to collect as much
garbage as possible. I think if very one did their own small part of this, the beach would be so much cleaner than it is right now.
As a surfer, I love the ocean, and I want it to be clean and keeping in good condition for anyone who would like to go.
b) How can you become a better global citizen?
I think I can start by using public transportation more often. In addition, our earth can be a better place for us to live.
Like I said in the last paragraph, if very one do a little, it would be a lot for the whole planet.

B. What do you think of this performance?
I can't express my feelings exactly. The strong beats drew my attention and I couldn't help but watch it again and again in order to figure out what the three blueman wanted people know. After so many times watching the performance, although I still can't understand some words, I thought that I understand a little bit of message they tried to send it to us. Words shwon in the middle block really made me thought of the movie"An Inconvenient Truth". I often have the question why so many administrators don't stop their verbal battles and give priority to facing the global warming problem. Isn't the problem clear enough? Or isn't it serious enough? Sometimes I'm angry at them but immediately I know that the anger is useless. The last twenty seconds really touched me and made an impression on me. The chimney emitted chemical fumes, a large part of iceberg was broken. And again, the emission from the chimney and the broken of iceberg. Harmful fumes are continuous emitted and pollute the earth and do great damages to the atmosphere! I don't know how to specifically describe my feelings. I have only one word to say－HEARTBREAKING. The unusual increment of greenhouse gas rises the water level and tsunamis and hurricanes caused the more serious aftermath. Everytime I see such news, I take so much pity on the people lives in the disaster areas. "Can't someone help them?" I almost yell. There're still something that I don't know the reason why the blueman on the right side wore snorkel and why the performance ended up with all things concentrate on one point near Australia. Is the point being the water hemisphere?
Part II :About global citizenship
A.In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I take buses to school rather than riding on motorcycle and I do recycling instead of just dumping bottles or papers in the general trash. Besides, I usually put a small plastic bag in my bag to put things I bought and use the same bag again and again.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
Perhaps I can only make a very small effect on the earth, but I'll keep doing recycling and take care of global news more frequently and more actively. I think that will really help to the lifetime of earth.
Blue Man's MV
At the very beginning of this MV,there are three blocks which has one man wearing blue paint respectively.
They hit their heads against the border of the block to make something like drum.Then,some words take place of the
man in the medial such as Your Attention Please. Planetary VEHICLE, we hope you enjoy the many
wonderful features of this planet, as you hurtle to 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, plaeae 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?
Moreover,there are some images appear with these words which are chimneies,traffic,and the melting iceberg.
These pictures stand for the message which send by earth.
I think the drum is the sound which try to wake human beings up.Wake human beings up from the violation of
our mother:earth.Foremore,the sentence "to locate this planet's EMERGENCY EXITS as you can see,there aren't any."
what A astonishing message. After all,this MV is not only something about Global warming but also something about
the compunction of human beings.
About global citizenship Since my parents have take apart of Tzu Chi Foundation,my family are accustomed to recycle any stuff which is still usiable.However,I think I am not a good global citizenship,because I still like to drink drink.Moreover,I didn't left no stone untured to understand how to improve and pretect our earth. How to become a better one I think I should be more active to make some difference instead of just recycle passivily.Fortheover, I should be more interested about any subject about earth.I can read more news about this subject,and take part in eco-awareness groups to do something for our earth.

B. What do you think of Buleman's performance?
I never saw this kind of performances before , so it is kind of fresh to me .The color which was painted on they is quit strange . After having the first impression , I think of that maybe it represents the main color of mother earth or just one kind of ways to get people's attention . As far as I am concerned , it's really important to appear some voices to speak out for the mother earth and remind us the urgent issues of environment protection .
part2
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
As I was gave birth , I have already been one of the member of earth . Why makes me conceive myself as a real global citizen ? I concern about the global issues and participate the green work such like garbage assortment.

B. What do you think of this performance?
This is my first time heard of Bluemen,they seems interesting to me.The music they perform are about global warming.They use many tubes as their instrument,this can see apparently that they are very care about the global environment.The enviroment of our earth has become worse and worse.Some of the humen in this planet doesn't really care about the place where we live,they produce many kind of toxicant thing that may hurt our surroundings.So I think they are very meritorious,because they produce music to warn to us about globel crisis.
Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I think I am really a global citizen,because I love this earth.This is a place where we lived in.This is a beautiful planet.There are many magnificent mountains,lucid streams and so on.There are many channals that will sometimes broadcasting something that about our planet,ex:National Geographic,Discovery.The adjacencies they broadcast are really something that we have to know about our earth.I often see them,and I think it's a way to understand our living enviroment,and a way to let us know how our earth become.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
We are just student,I don't think we can do something that can really affect our world.But there's something that we have to know:Remember to recycle,don't use plastic bowls and chopsticks and so on.What we can do now is to be someone who really care about enviroment,to warn ourself that the more you do with enviroment, the cleaner our earth would be!

B. What do you think of this performance?
This performance uses a very unique way publicizing the danger of earth caused by global warming . It impresses people and stricks me when seeing the words " AS YOU CAN SEE , THERE AREN'T ANY ( exit ) ". He's right , we have only one earth and no elsewhere can go .( stop hopefully expecting that there will be another planet letting us move in in the future , the global warming is right now ! ozone hole is getting bigger and bigger right now ! acid rain is everywhere right now ! we are suffered from all these right now ! ) It is essential for us to put " stop global warming " into practice other than just know it .
PART II
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
We were all born in the earth , so I think everyone has right to become a global citizen . I am one part of this world , participating in lots of human activities ( such as economy) . I always read the global news from Yahoo News . Concerning international news make me keep the same pace with world .
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
As we know , the environment has been cruelly injured . Being a global citizen , I enjoy sources on the earth , thus having responsibility to pertect the earth . Although my strength is small , if everyone can contribute his/her own strength , the gathering power most be strong . To become a better global citizen , I'll try my best doing the environmental protection , providing my effort.

I think it's very special. That action is very powerful. They use a very different way to perform music. I like the way they show their idea to us. I was very impressed.
Part II about global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I live on the Earth, so I love it. Because resources on the Earth aren't enough for us to use, people should share with each other. That's why we should economize on those we don't need.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
I can throw garbage into garbage cans, take bus or MRT instead of ride motorcycle by myself, use less water, turn off applications when I don' have to use them.

B. What do you think of this performance?
Global Warming has been the important issue during these years. However, the leaders of many countries still live what they used to be and didn't notice that the earth they count on for is weaker and weaker. Therefore, the performance of the bluemans is appeared. They want every one to take notice on this issue even if the others don't concern.
Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
When I watch the news on the television, when I use the internet to chat with my friends in different countries, when I use the cellphone to talk to my aunty in America, I think I am a global citizen. I don't have to worry the distance between me and other people in different places, because there are no distance. With the technology these years, everything becomes possible.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
To become a better global citizen, I need to respect other cultures. If you still lock yourself in your own circle and do not know how to connect with defferent people with different customs, then you're not a global citizen, you're just a citizen in you own country.

B) What do you think of this performance?
The world is developing continuously, but at the same time, we are damaging our own planet. If we keep on destroying it without stopping, disastrous effects will be the subsequences. From the video, what amazed me is beats of music. It gives me a deep impression about the how serious present problem is. I will not forget what they have done. The BLUEMEN succeed in conveying environmental friendly messages to us in this humorous way !
Part II About global citizenship
A) In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
Once we have the right, we have the responsibility. If we want to have the right to live on the Earth, we have the duty to protect and maintain it. As a global citizen to the government of the Earth, we obey laws from the government; therefore, we should also obey the natural law.
B) How can you become a better global citizen?
In this case, I think the followings are a few practical ways to make me a global citizen:
1. don't buy excess food and cause wastage. just buy the amount you think you are able to eat.
2. as a student, it's easy for us not to waste papers.
3. use less tissue paper but using other things to substitute. such as handkerchief.

B. What do you think of this performance?
At first, I think the three bluemen are kind of weird. They look terrified and shake their heads with the tempo at times. But, after analyzing the content, I discover something meaningful. The bluemen seem to symbolize the earth while the three kinds of pipes represent different meanings. As people using all the resources at will, the earth is facing a big challenge. Both the factory chimneys and the tailpipes will cause a crisis in "Global Warming"! Therefore, as you can see... one of the bluemen who wears snorkeling mask attempt to find an exit to live on earth. Although the video is very innovative, the way they present is a little bit abstract. I hope they can be more direct.
Part II about global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
On the direct side, I live on earth, and enjoy the use of resources on this planet. Meanwhile, I obey the laws which were made to restrict to people's behaviors. On the indirect side, I absorb various economic events and cultures from different countries. All of them let me be a real global citizen.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
As the issues of "Global Warming" & "Environmental Protection" cause a great sensation, I think I can do following things:
•Take the mass transit as much as possible to reduce the air pollution.
•Use my own tableware to protect both my health and the environment.
•3R-Reduce Recycle Reuse to achieve the goal of resources protection.

B. What do you think of this performance?
the main idea of the video is to make earth the planetary vehicle to beings of outer space. what was supposed to be a pleasant trip from the beautiful natural environment of earth turned out to be quite scary and uncomfortable due to our ignorance to global warming. the lines used in the video is quite ironic: seat cushions turning to floating devices and no emergency exits to the disaster that is about to come. i think this is a successful video. it combined music and irony to transmit its message simple and right to the point.
Part II about global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
well for one thing, i do live on earth. but besides that, i follow the laws and the norms of the society. i try my best to protect the natural environment by not littering, recycling, and trying not to waste the resources of the earth. i tune in to the news to see what's going on on our earth as well as other countries.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
because of age and status, there are a lot of things that i can't do, but on the other hand, there are still a lot of things that i CAN do. there is only one earth and there are a lot of ways to protect it. aside from the recycling we all know, i can think of ways to reuse things again, this way, i can decrease the amount of garbage. pollution can be stopped too. since the term is "global" citizen, that means that the whole planet is like a country. i can try to understand the culture of other nations so that it will be much easier to get along with foreigners. in the future, when i have the ability, i can try to make the world a better place.

B. What do you think of this performance?
I see a creative but somewhat weird performance. It catch my eyes when Blueman used their heads to beat tempo. Besides, it is ironic to wear a snorkel, break an iceberg when chimney exaust pollution.
Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
We live on the Earth, sharing the resources and environment. As the old saying goes: Love me, love my dog. It's more and more connecting in today. When I drop my garbage to somewhere else, I may think of that there's no somewhere else.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
I can eat less red meat, use my own chopsticks rather than disposable, cherish my clothes, shoes or anything what I have, watch Google News(en) to take quick view about what's going on, and so on. All in all, care and appreciate for the Earth.

B.
I have one blue man's album ,but I don't like it very much even though they play music with PVC instrument...I think this performance is cool, and it looks like pantomime.It tell us that there is only one earth, and not only we but our future generation all rely on it.If the global warming got worse then the south pole might melt.If the water became more the hurricane would become much more powerful like:Katrina、Rita、Wilma and so on....besides the see- level are raising too, and there are some famous tour spots will be under the water if the sea-level keep on raising for example:Maldive Islands、911monument、most of Florida、China、India....and so on will be under water.If anyone is interested in global warming, there are some movie talk about that.An Inconvenient Truth starring Al Gore .The 11th Hour starring Leonardo DiCaprio besides he is also one of script writers.
Part II.
A.
I have thought myself as a global citizen for a long time.I don't use plastic bag,and I only buy environment friendly goods.More important, I don't waste water ,food and paper.When I grow older I will take participate in "green organization".But the most difficult thing is to balance economics development and environment protection.
B.
Take public transportation instead of driving cars and motorcycles. Always turn off applications and faucet when you are
not using it.Resist low quality goods which is made in china, it is very immoral .

Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
When I was born I am already a global citizen. I think that everyone who lives in the earth
is a global citizen. It's my definition to global citizen. I think that it's quite important to make
everyone have this sense of being a global citizen.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
Don't buy anything that harms the environment. And take public transportation instead of driving cars and motorcycles.
Always turn off applications when you are not using it.Helping people who really need your help.
EX:Somebody is physical challenged and so on. There is too many ways to be a better global citizen.
After visiting CEF,I think I stand in B2 between C1 both reading and listening.Abviously,i should improve my english ability harder...
listening:i spend more than a hour every night listening to the STUDIO CLASSROOM on the radio(22: 30勞工教育電台FM91.3).If i keep working on it,i guess my english ability will be improved!!
reading:Now i am trying to form a habit of reading english newspaper everymorning,thought it's really hard for me...I regard it as a challenge which can inspire my ambition and comquer the difficulties .In addition,i've started to read the novel which i haven't finished during summer vacation.That's really a great breakthrough!!

Up to now, many countries including America, the most powerful and richest country on Earth, do not take the global warming seriously. Our planet is sick and dying. If we do not take the Bluemen's warning seriously and take drastic action now, it might be too late to save the planet Earth. The Bluemen's performance, with its video clips and sound effect, gives the viewers a very deep impression of the present dire situation of our planet and a sense of urgency to act and save it NOW.
Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I think I am already a global citizen because I am linked to the world socially by telecommunication and media. Although I am studying in Taiwan now, I still have close contact with my friends all over the world through internet. And I know what is happening at the other side of the world through newspapers and television. I share the same planet and the same environment with everyone else. If any thing happens to the world I will be affected one way or another.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
To be a better global citizen, I think I should know how to appreciate others cultures and respect and value diversity. I should have a better understanding of the way the world works. I should act and live responsibly to make the world a more sustainable place.
