This is a picture of 3 teachers in sst. Without the teachers’ help, we would not be able to learn well. They really deserve a break and some time off.

This is a picture with a friend i made this year in SST. I have made more friends in my new secondary school and am enjoying myself a lot.

This is a picture with my childhood friend. We have known each other since we were 4 and are still best friends.

Definition of theme - Environment

i'm reposting this same topic as i've missed out the summary at the end.

The natural environment, commonly referred to simply as the environment, encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. Also, it is contrasted with the built environment, which comprises the areas and components that are strongly influenced by humans. A geographical area is regarded as a natural environment, if the human impact on it is kept under a certain limited level.


adopted from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_environment


The environment encompasses all living and non-living things. It means that it comprises of almost everything around us, every object and thing.


The natural environment also contrast with the built environment. It means that the natural world around us includes the built environment, which is the man made surroundings, which man has strongly influenced.


A geographical area may soon not be considered as a natural environment as humans are expanding their area and taking over the areas, like cutting down trees to make place for housing. If the human impact in geographical areas are very high, it would not be considered natural anymore, instead, it’ll be regarded as a built environment.


summary:


The environment consist of many things, big or small, living or non-living, nature or man-made. The natural environment contrast with the built environment most of the time. The built environment is the environment strongly impacted by us humans and geographical areas may soon not be considered as a natural environment, if we use more of these area to do housing or other things.

my aspirations as an ADMT student is to excel in it and gain knowledge on it along the way.

i think i can do so by working hard and not giving up when faced with a difficult task.

5. Sketch how the world would look like without art, design, media and technology. Describe briefly your sketch. [Take a picture of your sketch and post it on your personal blog.



As you can see, the picture i’ve drawn is Earth and Mars beside it (because of the positioning Mars is cut off). What i’ve pictured a life without ADMT is a world as it is before humans came about, which is basically the universe as it is.
