We enjoyed our last human geography class Although I always forget to write my blog... In this semester, I learned a lot about the earth, about different countries and population problems. I can say that this is a very practical subject, of course, the teacher also brought us a lot of fun in class, always able to put some boring questions very humorous. This may be my last blog of the year I hope I can use what I have learned in the future.                                                                                                                               Thank you Mr. Schick
