Part1 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
the event continued inaction
in the face of Global lobal 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?

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.

譚筱蓉Homework 3 , u1587, Amy, 3G

I have taken a close look at Common European Framework (CEF). And I think I'm in the level of B1 to B2 in both listening and reading ability. Because I'm not good at recognizing words and sentences. Every time I'm reading or listening an article, I just know what it wants to say, but not know what it talks about.

Thus, I should make out my time practicing my English skill.
First, I would listen to ICRT to improve my listening skill. However, it will depend on when I'm free. Not including the routine exercise once a week. (The routine exercise is almost in the weekend.)

Second, I would read some news through the Internet to strengthen my reading skill. It can be done every day, well, I mean, only if I'm not busy. But as usual, I will do it once a week at least.
Third, I would find time to test myself through the Internet as well (http://www.esl-lab.com/). It would be necessary to know how much my progress is.

I hope after a year, I will be able to understand every sentence and every word without dictionary and teacher's assistance.
