The Disadvantages of Tourism to Some Countries

Travel different places is a good activity to have relax druing the holiday. The same thing, tourism is an important as a source of revenue to many countries . However, there are also some problems of tourism to those countries, such as environment pollution problem, population problems, and security problem.
.
First of all, the environment problem is one of the problems of tourism. It is bacause the more tourism to visit the country, the more cars and rubbish can be found at there. Car problems are common in many countries, the exhaust gas from the cars used to pollute air. Therefore, if there are a lot of tourism, that's mean they need many cars to carry them for sight-seeing. It is the main reason that the problems of increasing tourism because of cars' exhaust gas.
.
Another problem to the higher tourism is that the population problem. Even though tourism is an important source of revenue to many countries, but because some of countries or cities are not big enough, so it causes the places become more crowded. Like Hong Kong, which is a small city. However, there is too much tourism travel in Hong Kong every year. Actually, the street in Hong Kong is crowded because of many people and cars. Hence there are many tourism in the street, the crowded problem is much higher. Therefore, population problem is another problem to those countries.
.
Finally, the security problem is serious because of the higer tourism. There are some repoted show that many theif are the visitors in many countries. It is really difficult to catch the theif if they are tourism because they might go back to their own countries already. Moreover, the more people in the place, the more theif that can be found. Then, the problem of tourism is that the security problem.
.
Tourism is important to any countries, it can help those countries to gain the economic. However, there also some disadvantages because of environment pollution, population problem and security problem. Those countries government should think about the best way to slove the problems from tourism. As a result, many places can get the highest benifits from the tourism.

Does Los Angles as same as San Fansico?

Knott's Berry Farm with April( my old classmate)
San Fansico 1
San Fansico 2
San Fansico 3

Los Angles and San Fansico are the big cities in Carlifornia. Many people say that we should travel these two places when we visit Carlifornia. For me, I enjoy visit both cities because there are many attractive places. Actually, even though they are under the California, there are some of the different between these both cities, like weather and traffic.

One of the difference between Las Angles and San Fansico is the weather. The weather in Los Angles is warm, especially during the summer time. In the summer time, there is always high temperature and no raining. Because the weahter is hot and dry, people need wear sunglasses and put the body cream on their bodies all the time. However, there is a little bit cold even though there is summer time in San Fansico. Therefore, when I travelled to San Fansico on August, I need worn Jacket on afternoon because of the strong wind. Through the weather, we can see how different between Los Angles and San Fansico.

Another difference between Los Angles and San Fansico is the traffic. In Los Angles, the high population makes the freeways always crowed and busy. During the morning and early evening, people need spend double time to use the freeway. As I live in Los Angles now, I think people need waste too much time on their driving. Also, the drivers in Los Angles are ruder than San Fansico, so there are many serious accidents on the freeway. On the other hand, the population is much lower than Los Angles in San Fansico. On the freeway, there are not so crowded if comparing with Los Angles. Moreover, the people in San Fansico is more polite even though there are many car at the road. Therefore, Los Angles traffic is the other different charater with San Fansico.
Comparing with Los Angles and San Fansico, the weather and traffic at there are totally different. After u travel these two place, you can see how are the various. Anyway, Los Angles and San Fansico are the good travel in Carlifornia.

My impression to ALP before and now







top(left): My first day at Spring Semester@ BBQ day
top(right): My excellent teacher and whole classmates at Spring semester
below( left) : My friendly classmates at Spring semester
below (right): My good teacher and whole classmates at Summer semester
ALP is an Amercian Language Programmar. There are many different nationaities students attend ALP to learn English. In fact, I need get a high score in IBT test, so that's why I need take IBT class too. My first impression to ALP that they need so expensive school free and books. to be honest, I haven't any good feeling to ALP at first. However, after i studyed at ALP for 8 months, I have so strongly feeling to ALP now.
.
Actually, I took a English summer course at 3 years ago at San Diego. There was a privite school.The school was small and haven't got enough teaching mechine. I felt a little bit disappointed at that time. In fact, when my uncle introduced ALP language to me, I didn't have too much expectation to ALP too, but my uncle said he has some friends' children were studying there before and they through ALP could help them to improve English. Also, I know ALP takes place at Cal' State Fullerton university, students can use many university facilities and join their activities. It is different from those privite English schools. Then I decided studying at ALP.
.
When I first day in ALP, I meet many different nationalities students, they speak different language with me. As because I am not an independent student , so I felt quite nervious at that time because there was hard to find a student who was from Hong Kong. However, on the other hand, it's also good for me to learn English. I have to speak English with my classmates because we speak different languages. Moreover, I felt so scared about my English level. I really worry about if I could not do my homework well or could not understand professors talking about. At that moment, because I need walk a long way to go to school alone,also I have no friends in the ALP and I didn't know any professors in ALP, so I have some regret to study in ALP before, but I also knew that I need overcome it by myself. I could not make my parents felt disappointed to me.
.
However, when the times go by, I knew many classmates in ALP and we became a really good friends. Also, I found that ALP professors are so helpful and nice to students. They all know how to teach English to improve our English. In addition, we can use many university facilities in the school even though we are not the regular students. Therefore, it's seem no different to the other Amercian students to study at Cal' State Fullerton. This is a good experience for whom wants to enter the university. Furthermore, although the school free is so expensive, ALP provides many different kinds of indoor or outdoor activities to students. For me, my favourite activitie is the school trip, I can go tripping with whole ALP classmates. I think ALP is not only a place to help me improve English, but also to help me making many different kinds of friends.
.
Even though I have many confuse to ALP before. However, after I studied there for 8 months, I found that I really enjoy ALP life now. In ALP, I meet many excellent professors and students and we can be good friends. Also, I can improve my English speaking skills and writing skills in ALP. I think ALP really can help me to build up my English. Therefore, when I went back Hong Kong to visit my family during last break time, I introduced ALP language programmar to my friends. They agreed that I could learn many useful things in ALP. They though I have more confident to speak English in front of people than before. As a result, studying in AlP is a good experience to me . Even though the day I need go back to Hong Kong, I won't forget ALP . As last, I have to say "Thank You"to ALP because it has changed my life.

Hihi..This is Vivian Fong



Hihi...This is Vivan Fong who is from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is an international city, there is many people who from different countries . Also, foods and shopping are famous in Hong Kong, but, of course, the most famous thing in Hong Kong is the night view. Therfore, many tourists come to Hong Kong to travel every year.

Last Year, I just Graduated from university. My major is law. In fact, I really hope I can be a lawyer, because many people respect to lawyers. Moreover, I really like to argue for something that I disagree. Then, I think being a lawyer is good to me. However, I need build up my English before being a lawyer, so I decided to come to USA to learn English last year. It is because my relatives are living nearby Fullerton, and they heard that ALP is a good programmar for foreign students to improve their English skill. Therfore, I study in ALP now. In ALP, I meet many differernt nationality students. Also, Alp teachers are so kind and good in teching English. In addition, my goal in here is want to get the highest score in IBT test, and then I can go back to Hong Kong to study Law Master Degree. I will try my best to success my goal.
As many people know, my most favourite hobbie is eating, I like eat any kinds of food, especially spicy foods. In Hong Kong, I really enjoy eating buffet in Hotels. They provide unlimited foods , like seafood and desert. I always get full after I ate the buffet. When people ask me the reason that I want to earn much money, I will tell them because I want buy a lot of good foods to eat.

Furthermore, I need to thank you ALP because ALP not only help me to improve English, but also give me a .....really good boyfriend to me,,named Matthew!!!!
I met him at spring semester. we were the same class. Because of him, I have a wonderful life in USA. After school, we always go to the library to study together, sometimes he teachs me grammar, because my grammar is so bad.^o^ Even though we are from different countries ( because he is a Korean**), but we also can communicate in English. As a result, I can feel how much important to learn well English.
To learn Good English is hard and is a long road for me. However, I know if I can do more English practise and read more English books, I can master English someday. " Well begun is half done", I will do my best in ALP class!
