Thank you Mr. Bernard
Today, there is a student came from 宜蘭's college to our school and gave a presentation about the disappearing land "Kiribati". He was from Kiribati this small country (land) in the north east of New Zealand. He is the few lucky children that been chosen and came to Taiwan for studying. His dream is to save his country from sinking and become then "future president".
At first, he explain about his country's land forms and like nature resources a little bit. He said that in his country people don't need money for living they can plant crops and make goods for them selfs. Unlike the people in Taiwan, every thing needs money. And also that they can live by them self, just like if they get lost in a place that without people living, they can still survive. He also mentions that their race are apart of our aboriginal people, they are really a like. And he said a most important thing is about the "coconut tree". He said that their people there made a lot of things with coconut trees, like their houses and their daily drinks.
Then second part of his presentation, he is talking about why is this land going to be disappear in 20 more years. The problem is coasting by global warming. Kiribati doesn't have high mountains, the highest point of this land is 2 meters above the sea level. And most of the people build their houses beside the sea so that they can go fishing and stuff more easily, and they already live really happily for years. But because of the global warming casting the ice in the south pole been melted, so that the average sea level become higher, and this poor Kiribati will be covered by water. And those people can no longer live there of course.
What his second dream is that, he can convince people in Kiribati to leave as soon as possible. Cause the nature is not going to be better anyways, so the only way to solve this problem is leave and get a new home and start all over again.
In the end, we can still see that he loves his land and his country a lot. But now the nature is taking it away, he just hope his family and people will be safe and fine with it.
Thanks for Mr. Bernard Murdoch for coming here and teach us about it, that makes me and also other student feeling that we still got lots of things to improve and stuff to learn in this world, thank you for coming, thank you very much.
