Reflection #1

   Reflection #1

  This is my first year in HCT. The first class that I attended was Academic Reading and Writing with Mr. Gregory. At the begging I didn’t like the class or to study especially after the long vacation I had, however in time I really started to love this class, I found that Mr. Gregory is a nice and helpful guy and the colleagues in this class were the best. 1103 was the best English class I had.

  At the begging we learned the processes of summarizing an essay and how to find the main ideas of every paragraph and rewrite then in our own words. We also learned about the referencing and how to use www.bibme.org.  After that we learned how to use the quotations in the text. Finding the main points in the texts was the easy part however rewriting them in my own words with new vocab and order was a little bit tricky for me but with practice I managed to get throw it.   

  There is no doubt that I well use this useful new skill I learned in the future for my studying and maybe in my job, I still need more practice to be better on it. Also I would like to have another class like 1103 in the future with the guys and Mr. Gregory

Emirates Center for Wildlife Propagation located in Missour, Morocco financed by Abu Dhabi Government produced more than 60,000 birds.  The cost is undefined and there are similar facilities in the UAE and Kazakhstan. “The center in Morocco has ambition plans for the future: there are plans to expand the release effort to 15,000 birds per season” (Todorova, V. 2011) . The breeding birds should be familiar with humans to complete the fertilization. The released birds are kept in cages till them nine months old and 65% of the birds survive after a year of releasing.
