Keeping in mind our Mother Tongue

          Every language spoken in the world represents a special culture, melody, color, and assets and to everyone that mother language is certainly one of the most precious treasures in our lives. It's a duty and responsibility to preserve it and pass it down from generation to generation.
          Mother tongue, the first language or the mother language is the language a person has learned from birth or within the critical period, or that a person speaks the best and so is often the basis for sociolinguistic identity. Sometimes the term mother tongue or mother language is used for the language that a person learn as a child at home usually from our parents. Children growing up in bilingual  homes can have more than one mother tongue.
          Mother language has a very powerful impact in the formation of individuals. Our first language the beautiful sounds of which one hears and get familiar with before being born while in the womb, has such an important role in shaping our thoughts and emotions. A new language opens a new window in our world view and makes more aware and open minded. Moreover, knowing another language has been proven to contribute in helping us to understand mother tongue better.

Corresponding to Climate Change

          Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods change in average weather conditions or the distributions of events around that average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. Climate change is also the change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered our long periods of time, regardless of cause.
          Some causes of climate change includes agriculture and cattle-raising, dams and mega projects, forest fires, illegal  and legal logging, mangroves and shrimp farming, mining, oil and gas production and usage and plantations. Storm, cyclones, typhoons, heatwave and drought are the effects of climate change.
          We should conserve water, plant tree, restore the forest and urban gardening in response to change the global energy balance. We should do this solutions to prevent climate change in our country.
