"The world's population is expected to hit seven billion in the next few weeks. After growing very slowly for most of human history, the number of people on Earth has more than doubled in the last 50 years. Where do you fit into this story of human life? "

Documentary

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooo friends.. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but no problem..
The other day we start seeing a documentary about the planet Earth, and I really enjoyed it. It had lots of beautiful sights and it transmitted to us the importance of preservating the natural resources. It also showed us the evolution of the planet over the years, and it sensitized us to worry more about the planet.

Documentary (04.10.2011)

The documentary seen on replacing English class was really interesting. He showed us the changes of the planet earth over the years and it is not only important to save human lives as well as other ecosystems. It is important to think that ultimately we are not only unique visitors on Earth. Trees and all other animals are our friends, it's true! The towns and villages develop their own, forgetting that particular environment is increasingly at risk. Man becomes increasingly dangerous, and when it's all over, are we the only culprit. Since our subject of study will be the environment I think is well suited to the documentary, was used so that animals and realize that simple things are as or more important than us.

Commentary on the documentary "Home"

On 4 October 2011, in English class of 11ºI, we saw “Home”, a documentary about environment and how man is threatening the ecological balance. It was made by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, a french journalist, phtographer and environmentalist, in 2009.

The documentary shows the story of our planet Earth, since the beginnings to present days. Show us how life began in this planet and how it was developing to our days.

We saw this documentary to part where show the big cities like New York.

Man began to threaten Earth with agriculture. After, with discovery of fire, petrol, with formation of cities, with appearance of trade, with the construction of the big buildings, with excessive hunting, etc.

In the beginning, the man belongs to Earth. Actually, the Earth belongs to man.

I’m really enjoying watching this documentary because I love seeing these types of programs and because I’m very interested in such issues.
