Today we gave feedback on the test in class I missed five questions The main problem is a misunderstanding of Islam and Judaism Then prepare for the exam in three weeks

Today we did a quiz in class and I got five questions wrong! It's too difficult I can't understand some of the questions It's too difficult I thought the problem would be the：number of adherents,  call them, geographic location, founder, holy book

Today we studied Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism in class Hinduism： number of adherents: 1.1 billion (third largest) call them: Hindus geographic location: India, Nepal holy book: the Vedas - eternal truths revealed to ancient sages; composed in verse form (meant to be sung and easily memorized) Buddhism： number of adherents: 500 mill. to 1.5 billion (estimates vary quite a bit, don’t they?) call them: Buddhists geographic location: southeast Asia, China, Nepal, Japan (there are 1.2 million Buddhists in the United States) Judaism： number of adherents: 14 - 18 million (ninth) call them: Jews geographic location:  Israel (6.4 million, 75.4%) US (5.3 - 7 million, 1.7% - 2.6%) founder: Abraham

Today we studied five major religions in class Christianity and Islam are studied today They have many similarities, god and Allah, and their origin There are different traditions, Christian people go to church, islamic people have Ramadan Tomorrow we'll talk about Buddhism, which is the one I'm most interested in, and its origins and meaning are profound I believe that most religions can bring kindness to people and make them better and better

We had a test in class today The test is simple I reviewed last night and I feel good Looking forward to the test results

Today we reviewed the population pyramid in class and watched a short video And then bolg, but I forgot Then the teacher showed us a TV show, which was very nice That's the whole class

Today we reviewed population and Settlement in class We also have a test next Monday Here are some review points 1 over 7.6 billion people on the planet right now 2.90% of this population growth takes place in the developing countries of Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America The first billion people were in 1804, and over 10,000 years elapsed The highest life expectancy is Monaco The lowest life expectancy is Chad crude birth rate: number of births per 1000 of the population crude death rate: number of deaths per 1000 of the population rate of natural increase (RNI) produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate this gives us the annual natural growth rate - in percentage form -  for a country or region an excess of persons entering the country is net immigration an excess of persons leaving the country is net emigration for a population to remain the same, the TFR must be 2.1

Today we reviewed yesterday's speech again in class, and the teacher was very satisfied with us We also gave comments to our teammates and I am very happy with my teammates I don't think highly of myself, because my speech is not fluent, and there are many mistakes, when practicing and in front of everyone feel very different I need to make a lot of improvements

I forgot to blog again yesterday In yesterday's class, we made a speech According to four different countries, the teacher also asked us a lot of questions. The questions by the teacher are good that sometimes we can't answer them out It was a great experience

We prepared presentation on different countries for Friday's class Our country is Kenya, and my topic is about diseases in Kenya I need to talk about this for two minutes I did research on HIV/AIDS in Kenya I hope the presentation goes well

Today in class we reviewed the population quiz Mainly review some terms about population About the CIA Comparisons between countries (e.g. population, resources, fertility rate) There are thirty-seven questions The exam is in six weeks The teacher said we should write an essay for the exam. She would give us five questions and choose one to write. The good news is that we will write this essay before the exam and will tell us the questions in advance so that we can prepare The exam will cover everything we've learned

By studying yesterday's blog I discovered that the population and immigration of each country are different The population of each country has its own characteristics, which are caused by history and geography The population pyramid also shows the differences between countries The pyramid clearly divides industrialized and non-industrialized countries

five pieces of information that reflect our studies in Population and Migration. 1.Japanese population  the population of Japan as of 2018 is at 126.5 million, including foreign residents. After the 20th century, due to Japan’s entry into the post-industrial society, population growth rates have decreased, medical conditions have improved; and Japan’s long-standing immigration control has been strict, leading Japan to become one of the countries with the highest population growth in the world, while Japan is also per capita. Life, Japan’s total 2.Chinese population In 2019, China's population stands at 1.417 billion, the largest of any country in the world. Mainland China has tightened its family planning policy since the 1970s to curb population growth. Although China is still the world's most populous country, its fertility rate has been low since the 1970s. 3.United States population The United States is the third most populous country in the world with an estimate
