This Third Grading Period, I enriched my knowledge in HTML tags. As we go further, our teacher teach us a lot of different html tags. Our teacher is a very good mentor to us. Because in every activities we made, she took to us how to made it. That is why it is so very easy to me.

    During our third periodical test, I thought that our test is hard like out test before. But I was wrong. Our test was so very easy that's why I've got a lot in the test. :))

Christmas (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ^[6][7] and a widely observed cultural holiday, celebrated generally on December 25^[3][4][5] by millions of people around the world.^[2][8] A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days ofChristmastide, which ends after the twelfth night.^[9] Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations,^[10][11][12] is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians,^[1][13][14] and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.

While the birth year of Jesus is estimated among modern historians to have been between 7 and 2 BC, the exact month and day of his birth are unknown.^[15][16] His birth is mentioned in two of the four canonical gospels. By the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25,^[17] a date later adopted in the East,^[18][19]although some churches celebrate on the December 25 of the older Julian calendar, which corresponds to January in the modern-day Gregorian calendar. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after early Christians believed Jesus to have been conceived,^[20] or with one or more ancient polytheisticfestivals that occurred near southern solstice (i.e., the Roman winter solstice); a further solar connection has been suggested because of a biblical verse^[a] identifying Jesus as the "Sun of righteousness".^{[20][21][22][23][24]}

The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pagan, pre-Christian, Christian, andsecular themes and origins.^[25] Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, Christmas music and caroling, an exchange of Christmas cards, church celebrations, a special meal, and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, andChristkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore.^[26] Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming". Scientists actively work to understand past and future climate by using observations and theoretical models. A climate record — extending deep into the Earth's past — has been assembled, and continues to be built up, based on geological evidence from borehole temperature profiles, cores removed from deep accumulations of ice, floral and faunal records, glacial and periglacial processes, stable-isotope and other analyses of sediment layers, and records of past sea levels. More recent data are provided by the instrumental record. General circulation models, based on the physical sciences, are often used in theoretical approaches to match past climate data, make future projections, and link causes and effects in climate change.

In this days, our climate is totally changed. As can see, natural calamities continuous in attacking us. Just like in the Visayas region. They suffered from a super typhoon and there are a lot of people died in a day. Maybe the reason why there are a lot of people died is just that we are not helping our countrymen to lean our environment. Many people are not cooperating whatever the government are implementing to make our environment clean. When our mother earth get angry, for sure our place will be destroyed in just a second.

        So, as early as possible, we must clean now our environment before there is another calamity run to our place again.

Discrimination? It is the prejudicial treatment of an individual based on their actual or perceived membership in a certain group or category, "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated." It involves the group's initial reaction or interaction, influencing the individual's actual behavior towards the group or the group leader, restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to another group, leading to the exclusion of the individual or entities based on logical or irrational decision making. Discriminatory traditions, policies, ideas, practices, and laws exist in many countries and institutions in every part of the world, even in ones where discrimination is generally looked down upon. In some places, controversial attempts such as quotas or affirmative action have been used to benefit those believed to be current or past victims of discrimination—but have sometimes been called reverse discrimination themselves.

This is also the worst thing that the others may do to their fellowmen. They didn’t consider the feelings of others while they are doing it. So, discriminating must not be done so that we, the victims will be happy everytime. And we shall also have a peaceful life.Everyone of us wants a peaceful life. Just like me. I want to have a peaceful life because I want to make my life to be memorable  and I don’t want my life ruin by anyone. That’s why, I am doing good to my fellowmen so that they will not hurt me and they will treat me as a friend and not an enemy.

God created us with equal rights and equal opportunities. We have the right to choose our future. Because we are the one who is holding our life and they can’t help us when we fall. Only God can help us we have a problem.

“Going Global Through English Language”

English is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and is now the most widely used language in the world. It is spoken as a first language by the majority populations of several sovereign states, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and a number of Caribbean nations; and it is an official language of almost 60 sovereign states. It is the third-most-common native language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. It is widely learned as a second language and is an official language of the European Union, many Commonwealth countries and the United Nations, as well as in many world organisations.

Through the help of English language, we can easily understand each other even though we are not belong in one country. Because English is called as the Universal Language. English language is hard in the beginning but when you learned to love it, you can now speak in English fluent as you can. .

To those people who are not really good in english like me, we shall not give up to learn this language because there will be the right time that we can learn thet language totally.
