Hurricane Katrina had the most devastating impact on Louisiana where Barrier islands sustained heavy losses from Hurricane Katrina. Chandeleur Islands scarcely exist today. Barrier islands and wetlands protect coastal communities from future hurricanes. Damage from Katrina may be worse if not for those islands. Hurricane Katrina damaged 40 percent of Louisiana’s wetlands which supports both freshwater and saltwater marshes. Vegetation may not grow back. Katrina affected local sea harvests, especially oysters. Louisiana is the number one oyster producer. The US had to import oyster from other countries. Thousands of fishermen who depend on the oyster industry were unemployed. Floodwater in the city became contaminated. The torrent disturbed underground gas and oil tanks. Leaking sewer and gas pipes further contaminated the floodwater. Corpses were not cleared from floodwater, raising bacterial contamination. Plans to place dredged materials for a platform for plants to grow on. The Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Restoration Plan plans to rebuild barrier islands and replant lost marsh grass.

Since the role of an accounting executive is so important to a company, the salary is high. therefore I want t be an accounting executive to earn big money, and also because it is interesting to me.

Some of my hobbies are reading, playing sports,listening to music and shopping during my free time. Maths and Science are my favourite subjects. Although maths can sometimes be difficult and you're unable to get the correct answer, through hard work and perserverance, you will be able to get the answer somehow. The wave of happiness you get when you have successfully solved a maths question is priceless. I like animals, music and sports like badminton. I dislike failing exams, untidiness and unkept promises. In my everyday life, I come home from school and start doing homework straight away, so that whatever that is taught during school time will not be forgotten. To me, homework is a revision for what is taught that day in school. In school, I pay attention to what the teacher is teaching. Whenever i come acroos a question I do not understand, I will ask my friends to explain it to me. Therefore my interest in maths is why I want to be an accounting executive.

mid-year exam

I did badly in this year's mid-year exam. I got both low and high marks but I had deproved. I even failed some of my papers, but overall I still passed. I only failed terribly in my maths.



I knew why I had produced these kind of results.I regretted not studying a few months before but instead I studied two weeks before.I also regretted not paying attention during lessons because it was very boring and I could not help it. Now that the results show how much i have deproved, my parents would not get me a new handphone. I decided to study very hard and improve my grades. Mostly because I wanted a new handphone.

During the june holidays i decided to study hard. I photocopied the previous year's exam paper and studied my textbooks. I practiced on the previous year's exam paper.

I will show my parents improvement in my work. I reflect that with hard work comes reward. When I did not study for my mid-year exam, I got low marks and m,y parents did not give me a new handphone. So I conclude that if I work hard I will gain my reward which is my handphone.

eng aa task 2: "i can make a difference"

“I can make a difference”

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the physical systems or living organisms there. There are 3 main types of pollution called air pollution, land pollution and water pollution.

Air pollution is caused by the giving out of green house gases by factories. An example of a green house gas given out is carbon monoxide. Land pollution is mainly caused by the throwing of litters on the ground. Water pollution is caused by the spilled oil from ships. It can cause death of many marine animals and seagulls.

I feel that people should help to prevent pollution to keep our Earth healthy. If people keep polluting the Earth, it would cause green house gases and eventually lead to global warming.

To reduce air pollution, land pollution and water pollution, examples are we can stop littering, reducing amount of electricity used, using public transport instead of private vehicles, the 3rs and much more.

The 3rs can help to play our part and improve the current situation. We can reduce usage of electricity by turning off the electricity when not in use. Reducing the amount of waste can also help. We can also reuse things such as bringing your own bags to shop instead of plastic bags. Recycling things such as reusing plastic bags can help. Many more things can be done to improve the situation. This can help to reduce the amount of materials used and more natural resources will be reserved for further use.
