Homework

1)What physical geographic features have aided the development of the United States?
            The United States was aided in development a lot thanks to the physical features that it has. The US has the Mississippi River and many other big rivers which connected its mainland to the ocean trade way. Merchants sailing from oceans can easily accessed market and trading ports through the rivers. Also, they can fish from the rivers, too. From the fish, they not only have a stable source of food supply, but also they can export their fish products for money. Also, the US has a lot of farmland for agricultural productions. They can export their wheat and products for profits. Finally, the US also got a tremendous amount of trees and forest which they can log for money.

2)What physical geographic features have aided the development of Vietnam?
             I think the availability of farmland is the most important physical features that aid the development of Vietnam. Vietnam has a lot of big, rich fertile plains. These plains helps the farming and many agricultural productions significantly. With land fertile from rivers silt every day, the soils are very efficient and helpful in agricultural productions. These rich nutrients soils have helped Vietnam one of the top exporter of rice. This truly has helped Vietnam a lot. I also think that the some of the forests is also helping Vietnam's economy. However, I think that the plains is the top contributor that helps Vietnam.


3)Compare similarities and differences
             The differences of the two countries are that the US has a numerous amount of forest and also their rivers are deeply cut into their mainlands which let ships travel more into cities to trade. I think that is all for the differences in physical features. The only similarity I found, is that they both have farmland to farm and export agricultural productions to get profits.

Ho Chi Minh City - Squatter Settlement Photos

I found a LOT of squatter settlements in my area. Just a few steps and I found these old, and badly built houses on sides of a 3 meter alley. The condition there is horrible, they would have little or no electricity and it is very dirty. I also found some in District 8. And they all have one in common condition and also, they all look like the one in the video.

Influenced

The Opera House in District 1. It is influenced by the Western Architecture.

The Notre Dame Basilica is a very good example for the influenced of Gothic Architecture.

I believe this building is call L'Hotel de Ville. It was built by the French so it was influenced the architecture whom was French.

This is the mosque and was influenced by the Islamic architecture heavily.

Assignment #1

1) I know this is boring, but over the summer, I stayed at home. I was learning how to write computer programs C#. I was also tried to make my own website (which is nearly finished). My summer, honestly is nothing but computer, and doing some "housework" at home.

2) For this year Social Studies, the only thing I look forward to is having a fun class. I can learn almost anything if it is fun and interesting. I really do not like something that is not new, creative or fun. And I also dislike to remember things like people or dates in Social Studies.

I hope we have a fun year in Social Studies.
