1. Do you think humans will need to move to another planet?  Why or why not?
2. If it does happen that some humans move to another planet, would you volunteer to go?  Why or why not?

3.  Read this article about people who have signed up to move to Mars: http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/09/tech/innovation/mars-one-applications/index.html  What is your reaction to this story?


1- I don't think human beings should move to another planet at the moment, but we should be ready to do so as the global warming is going to happen in a way or another and it is almost impossible to prevent this phenomenon to happen. Global warming can be one of many other reasons that might lead us to move to another planet .
2-Yes I will,cause as I mentioned before that life might be impossible in earth and every living being tries to survive in every single way. If Dinosaurs had the chance to leave the earth to survive, wouldn't they have done so?!
3- it might be a good idea, but I still think that we don't really need to move to another planet at the moment. So, I do we need to travel there. However, sometimes curiosity is the reason, but let's hope that curiosity doesn't kill the cat!

Simply Johny Amumin

Hello 4B Reading,

  My name is Yahya. My nickname is Johny Almumin. I am 18 years old. I was born on the 13th of Jan. 1995, Friday! I spent my whole life living in Kuwait. I'm an ambitions guy, who always sought perfection.I'm really thankful for everything I have in my life. Having a great family, nice friends, supportive teachers, generous scholarship and last but not least having a life.
  I did not leave my country and travel over seas to have fun or get a degree from any university. If that was my real goal i would have stayed in Kuwait and join the University we had there. Briefly, I had the chance to join med school straight away after high graduating from high school easily. Why didn't I? Why did I choose the US. Specifically? Why did I choose this major "Mechanical Engineering"? The answer for the first question is I did not want to, as simple as this. I am not interested in in biology or working in hospitals and dealing with patients. I chose the U.S. over both U.K. and Kuwait for one reason, University ranking. This can be the answer for the second question and trying to join Penn state is a clear answer. The answer for the last question is pretty long but i would try my best to answer it fleetingly. I don't find Mechanical Engineering as a degree I'm going back to my home country just to work with. Mechanical Engineering is the bridge I'm using to reach a real goal. Physics and Cosmic theories and researches are the things that really interests me. I just wanted to add that I was taking an English course in UCF, Orlando Florida. This spring will be my first experience with snowy weather. Deep inside I am really excited about that, but my friends are telling me that you are going to hate it.
  I hope this can give you a better and a clearer view and prospect about my personality. I can't wait to read your posts. Thank you.
