The task of this blog post is designing a new way to power something. Almost everyday, I go and get home from outside school lessons using my bike, and I always get home at 7.00 pm.

But then, I decided to change the power source. The new power source that I want to use is the wind. I decide to use wind because every time…

I never helped my grandmother on gardening before, so I decided to help her gardening by pouring some water to the plants and also cut plants that are parasitic. After I asked my grandmother a few questions about the garden, I found out that my grandmother did actually grow lemons and oranges. From this, I may asked a few of them to give to the local villages that can't…

Obviously, I think the food will come from the local farms that has more advance technology than today's farmers. I will buy the ingredients from a local supermarket with fair price. I also need to ensure that the food I will buy is healthy and fresh. I am the one prepare the appetizer while my mom who will cook the main course…

Now, she still…
