One of my teachers, Mr. Sturgeon just came back from Mumbai and told how wonderful it

was. When he was touring Mumbai he was shocked to see that the streets and buildingswere as big as beluga whales. This was one thing he did not expect considering Indiasimmense population. Later he went to dobi dagha where people send their clothes to be

washed. He said it was like nothing he had ever seen before and that the air tunnels were

as mind-boggling as a talking dolphin. Later he went to a restaurant called Maharaja andsaid that the locals were looking at them amused and he thought it was as hilarious as abunny-boy (probably because he was eating with a fork or knife, in India you use yourhands). It was one of the best places he had ever been and he said he would definitely

go there again.

By:AbhinavA bit about Mumbai

Attractions here, Attractions there come

and see theyre everywhere. From thegorgeous gardens to the beautiful seaMumbai is like a thrill ride for everyone.

There are many people in Mumbai who loveit there because of all the attractions.

Actually as of the latest census Mumbai hasover 18million inhabitants. They have comefrom far and wide and add to the beauty

and variety of Mumbai. Although all ofMumbai is beautiful one of the mostamazing sites is the Taj Mahal palace and

tower, however the peninsula is completelystunning and is like a mesmerizing snake to

anyone who looks at it. Mumbai went froma small city to a big time paradise. Youknow what they say If you put enough

pressure on coal it turns to pearls and thatis exactly what has happened to Mumbai.So come on in and enjoy the sites, you

havent lived till youve been to Mumbai.

Population and

ResourcesThe city of Mumbai was established in

1498. It is located on the west coast ofIndia and is the capital city of Maharashtra.In the past, there were a few reasons people

came to Mumbai. The main reason peoplemoved to Mumbai is because they were

probably looking for a clean source ofwater and fish as an endangered animalmight look for protection and sanctuary.

Another reason people might have come toMumbai would be if they were slaves or if

thieves had looted their village. If this was

the case then they would have no choice butto move to Mumbai, since it would be the

wisest option for poor people and slavetraders (After all it was the best place totrade slaves and of course the slaves have to

follow their orders).

At this point in timeMumbais population is approximately18,000,000. The major populations

represented by Mumbai are Indian andAmerican. The reason people come toMumbai now is much different than before.

In modern times the main reasons peoplecome to Mumbai is the clean source of

water and variety of jobs which includeengineering, fishing, agriculture, technologyand much more. Actually, come to think of it

the amount of jobs Mumbai has to offer is asabout the same as the number of feathers ona parrot. Another reason people live in

Mumbai is the cities tourist attractions.Mumbai is now a city thriving with business

and is one of the most important cities in theworld. You know what they say If you putenough pressure on coal it turns to

diamonds. And that is exactly what hashappened to Mumbai.

How People

Have Changed the

Landscape of

Mumbai

These pictures show howpeople have changed the landscape ofMumbai. In the 1400s, Mumbai was a

small island city that earned all its moneyand food because all of the inhabitantsfished. Everything that occurred there was

as simple as 1,2,3. Then around the year1498 everything changed. People started

building bigger roads, buildings and deep-sea ports.

They built the roads and buildings withrelative ease, however the ports were adifferent matter. They dug out sand and

gravel from the beaches determined to buildthe ports. They were like mothers

determined to raise their child. Mumbai wasno longer as simple as 1,2,3. It was now aplace where people could start over, a place

to raise children. It was like heaven wasmasquerading as a normal city, givingsalvation to anyone and everyone who

came to it. It was paradise.

Mumbai is now athriving city full of business and opportunity.It is as busy and productive as a factory. In

my opinion Mumbai is one of the mostimportant cities in the world and isabsolutely fabulous. If all these changes to

the landscape hadnt happened we wouldnthave the Mumbai we have today. If you

havent visited Mumbai you havent reallylived.

Top 5 things in Mumbai1.The peninsula is a must see location

in Mumbai. It has a stunning view and iscompletely mesmerizing

2.The cuisine in Mumbai is fantastic.

It is extremely delicious and a must have ifyou go to Mumbai. The Maharajarestaurant is an incredible place to eat

and you wont regret spending your moneythere.

3.You must visit the Mahalaxmitemple. It is a great place to see and ifyou go there you will have a small taste of

Indian culture.4.The Taj mahal palace and tower is

simply to die for. It is a beautiful buildingtaking on the name of Indias famous Tajmahal in Agra.

5.And last but not least the Gatewayof India. It is like the one in New Delhi

where it was built with an everlasting

flame to show that we remember thesoldiers that died in battles. Although theone in Mumbai was only built for the ships

that sailed of, it is still a beautiful place.

Mumbai:FromMumbai used to

be a small village

inhabited by the Kolipeople. They lived

by fishing and theirlifestyle was as

simple as 1,2,3. Allof that changed

when Portugueseexplorer Vasco de

Gama arrived in

Mumbai in 1498.When he went back toPortugal he met a wave of

questions like a river fish inthe ocean meeting wave after

wave of new creatures. Hewowed them with stories of of

the exotic goods and richculture.

After hearing Vasco de

Gamas story an Englishcompany gave great interest

in India. They placed one oftheir factories in Mumbai and

built a deep-sea port. Thisattracted lots of labour, which

improved the citys

population and the amount ofmoney it earned. It alsobrought many Indian

merchants through an offer of

religious freedom. Mumbaisbusiness was growing faster

than rats could breed.Within years, Mumbai was a

center of trade and had athriving business. It went

from a small village to abustling city. Now it is one of

the most important cities fortrade in India, and even Asia.

Fast Facts1. Mumbai produces the least amount o

f good chess players in India

2. Mumbai has never had a majornatural disaster.

3. If Vasco de Gama had not found

Mumbai, it might have been the lowest ofthe low today.

4. Mumbais population has increased

by several million people over the past 20

FUN FACT!

The American School of Tripoli opened on

the 18th of September. On 26th of May

2011, the AST gave out there first twodiplomas since 2005.

A bit about Tripoli

WHY SHOULD YOU COME HERE?

Tripoli is like an adventure, you discover as you go. Tripoli

is known as The Mermaid of the Mediterranean. Even

though it got completely destroyed during the protests

against Qadaffi. The population of the people in Tripoli is

1,683,000 out of the 6,597,960 people in Libya. They

came to the city because of the great job and education

opportunities. Tripoli is very near the sea; this is useful for

water and trading. Did you know that Tripoli was under a

dictatorship for 42 years? Today, Qaddafi is dead and

Tripoli is back to the way and is as beautiful as sparkling

crystal. You will have great experiences in Tripoli. Just go

there and see all of the fantastic stuff you can do (and

eat!!!!).

Population and Resources! The Phoenicians founded the city Tripoli in the

7th century BC. Firstly, it is located near the

Mediterranean Sea; this is useful because it is near

water, water can be traded with other countries or

cities. In the past, people came to Tripoli because of

the calming climate. Today, people come to Tripoli

because of the jobs; most people are usually

employed in the oil industries. The people in

Tripoli discovered oil in 1959, this helped them

because they could build more schools using themoney they got. This added more people to the

population because people who live there have

somewhere study or work. The radio is a famous

form of communication in Libya with sponsored

news, religious and musical programs. In Libya,

there are about 1 million radios and more

than 17 hours of broadcasting. The city of

Tripoli has developed as fast as light adding

several schools and universities.

My perfect day

in Tripoli

I arrived in Tripoli in

scorching hot day. I got a cab and

went straight to the hotel my

figured out a lot of stuff about

Tripoli and Libyas history. Our

tour guide told us everything we

had to know.

Next stop, the Red Castle

Museum also known as the

Assaraya Alhamra Museum or the

Archaeological Museum of

Tripoli. The museum is actually

located In the Red Castle Fort or

Assyria al-Hamra. Our tour guide

told us about the art. She also told

us how Tripoli is known as The

Mermaid of the Mediterranean,

because of its turquoise waters

and whitewashed buildings.

O u r l a s t s t o p w a s a

restaurant, which had lots of

different Libyan dishes. My kids

enjoyed the potato fritters, which

has lots of chili and herbs. It was

very tasty! I had a great time withmy family. My son especially

enjoyed it Im definitely thinking

of coming back!

Past to Present

Tripoli was under dictatorship ever

since Colonel Qaddafi became leader of

Libya. Before World War II, Tripoli and

the rest of Libya had very few schools.

Only less than 10% of the population ofLibya could read and write. Then

everything changed when Libya found oil

in 1959. They invested in everything they

could like schools, vocational training

centers, and universities. As the result,

Libya now uses a western-style of

education. This uses six years Elementary

School, three years of Middle School,

and three years of High School .

Attending school is required for everyone.

The first university was in Benghazi,Libya and was built in 1955. They were

determined as a tiger trying to get food,

they built schools and universities that

can help their country. Now, most people

in Tripoli can read and write.

How People Have

Changed the Landscape

of Tripoli

This picture underneath shows how people

have changed the landscape of Tripoli. Youcan clearly see that the place is completely

wrecked. Tripoli got destructed just like an

ant being a stomped on by a human. Before,

in the year 2007, Tripoli was a fine country

and wasnt destructed like today. Then,

around the year 2011, humans changed the

landscape by citizens protesting because of

Qaddafi. Tripoli was under a dictation and

the citizens were acting, Qaddafi and his

team answered back with bombing. Today,

because of this change, Qaddafi is nowdead and the city of Tripoli is back to how

it was last time and is as beautiful as a

flower.

Anecdote for

Tripoli

Jamie says:

I used to travel to Tripoli for

work. I worked in the oil

fields in the desert. It was in

Tripoli. I got to travel to

Tripoli countless times and I

admired how it looked in thenight. It was as colorful as a

rainbow and as crowded as a

beehive. A lot of Americans

used to work in the oil fields

but because of the rival of

Qaddafi and the Americans,

most of them got fired and

they hired Australians. The

few years I spent in Tripoli

were some of the best years

of my life. I met some greatpeople and got to see some

tourist attractions on my non-

working days. Overall, this

was a great experience and

Im happy I took the job!

Tokyo is as crowded as the teeth in your mouth. Tokyo used to be called Edo

in the land of the rising sun, which was changed into Japan. It began growing

after World War 2. Japan wrote a new constitution emphasizing peace andhuman rights. Japan cannot go through war again. Tokyo is now a modern

city, and has developed a second Tokyo Tower to enjoy. Tokyo has exciting

opportunities such as life stability, big compensations, and technology.

How People Have Changes the

andscapeThese pictures show how people made an impact on the

ndscape of Tokyo. During the Meiji period in the year 1868 to 1912,mperor Meiji took power over Tokyo. Tokyo used to be eastern andery traditional. Everyone used to wear kimonos, and the houses wereyed with tatami mats. During World War Two, other nationalitiesarted bombing Tokyo. After World War Two, Tokyo became asroductive as a factory, and it has been growing ever since.

Today, because of this change, Tokyo is now very busy and

odern. Tokyo has developed their technology, so they re-build oldouses and made them temples. Tokyo started building more hi-technd more modern buildings. If this changed never happened, theeople in Tokyo including my family would still be wearing kimonos.lso we would still be living in houses layed with tatami mats.

The city of Tokyo was established in 1868. It was located on the south coast, and emperor Meijipowered it. Tokyo used to be called Edo. After emperor Meiji died, the city was then renamed Tokyo.

! Today, Tokyo offers a lot of opportunities like having big compensations, life stability and technology.Some major industries and businesses in Tokyo today are technology, transportation, retail and other hi-techbusinesses. In Tokyo, 99% are Japanese and only 1% are from other nationalities. The main religions in Tokyoare Shintoism and Buddhism, but there are other religions too. In addition, the western people are introducingother languages like French, German, Italian, and other foreign languages.

An interesting population in Tokyo today is the migrating population. 48.4% of Tokyos populations are

immigrants. The reason the immigrants came is because Tokyo has big compensations, and the immigrants wantto take that opportunity. Also, the immigrants want to take a chance for life stability. A life stability chance inthat Tokyo is as hi-tech as the future, so work can come more easily to them. Tokyo has a lot of opportunitiesup its sleeve.

As you can see, Auckland has

changed immensely in the last

hundred years or so. It is now amodern jungle of friendly people

and amazing opportunities!

Look what happened!!

A Funny little moment

It was Sunday afternoon, and

me and my best child hood

friend Nic were walking down

to the chemist, we had

something interesting planed

for tomorrows school day. We

spent a few days, or more

researching all the right

ingredients to give the class a

show. We got to the chemist

we didnt know where to look

so we asked the guy at the

counter we gave him our list

and asked him if he had them,

to our delight he didnt seem

surprised or shocked at the

things we were asking for so

when we were done

everything was set. The nextday the special science

project we had planed was

ready. The day started out

like any other, we went to

classes, we wrote down thing

in our books and we did

everything we were told like

perfect angels. However when

it was time for science the

teacher told us begin and then

we began to work. Later that

day we ran away from the

science room that

mysteriously blew up after

we had just walked out the

door, which the fire

department later found the

cause of the explosion was

gunpowder, and the source of

it was identified as our desk.

We were lead to the

principals office smoke

pouring through the corridor

and were threatened ofexpulsion but got off!

How did we

change it?

In the city of Auckland people

have changed and altered many

different things in all sorts of

different ways, they have

improved all of the big things like

buildings, from 1-story markets,

to six story malls! And electricity,

enough to power the whole city.

All the small things like roadsbeing widened and architecture

became more modern as well as

all the things in the middle like

cars have become bigger and

faster and agriculture is more

efficient and housing is made

more luxurious. Since the early

20th century at around 1901

people have begun to change

PAST TO PRESENT

Kathmandu used to be

ruled by the king, JayasthitiMalla, and he had a greatarchitectural vision. He

would introduce architectureto the city. He started to

build temples and shrines ofincredible beauty. Thevariety of buildings was so

great that they called it the

forest of temples. Thetemples were very preciousto the city, and if they weredestroyed by age, or a

natural disaster, the peoplewould rebuild them in the

same style as before.Kathmandu is still filled withthe beauty of architecture,

but now it has some new

modern buildings. In anutshell, most ofKathmandus culture isbased on their architecture.

THE ENVIRONMENT

These pictures show

how people have

changed the landscape ofKathmandu. Before thechange, in the year 1960,

most of the land inKathmandu was

farmland. Then,a little after

that, thepopulation

started torapidly rise. The

people startedto change the landscape

to meet the needs of all

the people. Houses andapartments started to popup all over the place, and

many trees were cutdown. Kathmandu

adapted to the newenvironment and became

morecity-

like.

Today,because of the change,

the city of Kathmanduisnt as natural as before,

but it is still truly asbeautiful as a cherry

blossom.

Introduction

Shanghai is a snowflake with unique details! It always has been and that is one of

the reasons why it is called Chinas Oriental Pearl. The British established the city

of Shanghai in 1842. They forced trade but ended up improving Shanghais

economy. Today people come to Shanghai because they can make more money there

than other agricultural places. Also, some people come for tourism, Chinese food,

and Cultural activities. Today, because of this change, the city of Shanghai is now a

total tourist attraction, the lead in trend, and an important city.

Elaine says:

I had a terrific time in Shanghai! I was awed by how modern it was! In spare

time, my co- workers and I would go on tours and look around. One day, we visited a

circus. We purchased our tickets and when we were finally at the ticket booth, we

quickly grabbed our seats. The first few shows were pretty cool but they werent

abstract or surprising Just as I was thinking that, the Ringmaster announced that

there would be a special performance. All of a sudden, there was a hollow sphere as

big as a Hot Air Balloon! A performer with a motorcycle rode into the sphere and

started driving around in circles on the ceiling! Then another performer with a

motorcycle drove in! They looked a bit squished, but somehow they managed it! I

couldnt believe my eyes when 8 more people joined in! It was amazing

These are the most popular landmarks:

Shanghai World Financial Center Oriental Pearl TV Center Happy Valley Amusement Park Waibaidu Bridge Huangpu River

China. It is near Nanjing andHangzhou.

POPULATION AND RESOURCES

The British established the city of Shanghai in 1842.

Shanghai and other parts of China used to be isolated, but

when the British started the Opium War it opened Shanghai!

Before that, they traded silk and tea too. But they were as

reluctant as you would be if someone offered you a toothpick

for a billion buck! Some countries were jealous that Shanghai

was located near the ocean and the port because they had easy

access to water and fish.

Today people come to Shanghai because they can make

more money there than other agricultural places. Also, somepeople come for tourism, Chinese food, and Cultural activities.

The population is 13.5 million. Did you know that

Shanghai has a target to reach 16 million people by 2020? This

is because they want to expand their culture and introduce

more people to it. Also there is an average of 0.96 births per

woman.

The major nationalities represented are Muslim,

Americans, Chinese, Han, Hui, Man, Mongolian, Zhuang, and

Islam.

Therefore, Shanghai is now one of the most successful

cities in China and maybe even in the world!

To find your way around...

Shanghai is located at 31 degrees N, 121 degrees E.

HISTORY

Impact of the Past to the Present

Shanghai used to be and still is called Chinas Oriental

Pearl. When Shanghai discovered cotton, they immediately

started farming it and manufacturing cloth from it. Then all of a

sudden everything changed! Shanghai became an important and

busy trade and port center. They became so profitable that they

didnt need to trade anymore. They didnt want or need to trade

with foreigners.

" In 1760, the government banned trade withforeigners as fast as lightning but the British thought otherwise.

The British wanted silk and tea but had nothing to trade for it.

They ended up trading huge amounts of silver. China reluctantly

ended up agreeing. Later on, they ditched silver and instead traded

the illegal drug opium.

! As a result, the citizens of Shanghai and otherregions became addicted to it. Britains were desperate, so they

smuggled opium which led to money loss and arresting of British

merchants. The British were very angry and started the Opium

War. China ended up losing and was forced to be open to the

world. China became a worldwide trading center and realized they

had learned from the British (a.k.a. the Barbarians). Today, China

is still a worldwide Trading center and Shanghai will always be

Chinas Oriental Pearl.

How People Have Changed the

Landscape of Shanghai

" These pictures show how people have changedthe landscape of Shanghai. Before in the year of 1990, Shanghai

was a beautiful and peaceful city! It was also as green as a forest

awakening in the spring! Then around the year of 2010, humans

changed the landscape by realizing that trade was better than being

selfish and keeping all of the resources to themselves. When they

finally started trade, their economy rose.

" They then used that money to improve their cityby constructing more buildings, and renovating the current

buildings. They also improved education and jobs! Then they made

sure not to kill the animal life in the river by polluting but they got

rid of most of the trees. They did this because the government

wanted the people to be happy and to attract more tourists for

money. Today, because of this change, the city of Shanghai is now

a total tourist attraction, the lead in trend in China, and an

important city.

Amazing Architecture!

Fun Fact!

Did you know that the signature dish of

Shanghai is Shanghai noodles?! Yum!!!

A WORD ABOUT ISLAMABAD

Islamabad is as small as a peanut, but as fun as a roller coaster ride. Islamabad is one

of the most improved cities in the world. Islamabads population is like a mustard seed

very small at first ,but sooner or later will turn into an immense tree, but this seed has

already grown. Islamabad has many trees and fresh air, but if you want to keep it that way

do not go near factories (unless you work there). Islamabad has many attractions like the

zoo, and the Margalla hills. Islamabad is a very amazing place its as nice as a rose, and its

a very nice tourist attraction.

landscape of Islamabad

The people of Islamabad changed the

landscape. Before in the year 1945,

Islamabad was like a

giant dust cloud. No

vegetation, no roads,

and bad

transportation. Then

around the year

1990-2000, humans

changed the

landscape by the land being invadedcountless times, and people have brought

there own tradition to Islamabad and have

built many buildings and planted a lot of

vegetation, and that made Islamabad a

much better environment to live in.

Spicy food, smooth beaches of

its unpredictable but in the end is

right. Its like an adventure park

with all the friendly faces

everywhere. Youll feel at home as

soon as you set foot in this land of

paradise. During World War II other

countries were crushed to pieces like

cars in compressors and populations

dropped left, right and centre but

Colombo escaped unharmed

throughout the entire war. Later as

more and more people worked

towards world peace people from

allover the world came and colored

the city in as if it was a drawing. Did

you know The Fort was originally a

fort during the Portuguese and

Dutch periods but now simply the

commercial center of the country

and the site ofmost major offices,

big hotels, some of the better

shops, banks and the main post

office.

A Perfect Day in Colombo

The perfect day in Colombo would start

by going out to HOP (House of

Pancakes) for breakfast where they will

fill you up with pancakes like a

container. Next you would go shopping

for the rest of the day at the mall the

take a meal at the Curry House before

you leave to beach, have a nice swim

and relaxation time before you head off

to the Dehiwala Zoo for the rest of the

afternoon. At night you head out to

dinner at a fine dinning restaurant and

go to a twenty20 cricket match for the

rest of the evening, before you head

home.

Impact of thePast on the

Presentby Jack Nicholls

Colombo is a land of rolling plains with a

few mountains in the south central. It

was once a trade port between Asia and

the West. Arabs who settled a trade port

on the coast first established Colombo

after the natives. In 1505 the

Portuguese arrived and started small

business.

In the mid 17th century the Dutch came

and took over growing cinnamon in a

place called the cinnamon gardens. By

then the businesses had as much money

to splash around than the yanks.

When the British arrived the town

became a city. Major businesses were

destroyed by bomb attacks from LTTE(a small terrorist group), which caused

them to disperse to the north and south

coasts.

As a result of that the city of Colombo is

now getting its businesses back on track

with people immigrating to the city. As

a result of that I would say Colombo is a

very slowly emerging city.

Changes to the

Landscape

In the first picture in shows the poorly

built building but reflects the way the

people struggled to built houses and

shows how they life in Colombo used to

be. But the second picture shows the

city of Colombo today thriving with

buildings projects.

Around about the 1990s the city of

Colombo changed their architecture andstarted building massive buildings as

big as the Egyptian Pyramids. So now

Colombo is developing more industries

and businesses as the city receives

more money.

NOW AND THEN

Now

CINNAMON GARDENS

If your hungry the cinnamon gardens

is a great tourist attraction.


32/55

The People

The Arabs established the city of

Colombo in the 1930s after the

native Sri Lankans. They

established a trade port between

Asia and the West and settled there.

Major Business now are the

cinnamon and cotton trade. Today

many people immigrate to Colombo

for a better job, fantastic wildlife

and the Sri Lankan cricket.

Therefore Colombo is now attracting

more people for jobs and better

income.

The current population of Colombois 683,000 and still growing as new

businesses are starting all over.

Mainly made up of Dutch,

Portuguese and native Sri Lankan.

In the past people came to Colombo

for business and trade. Today people

come for the exact same reason so

why not relocate to a city as

beautiful as diamonds.

A Story From aVisitor

for action I suggest to head

How people have changed the landscape of Kuala Lumpur

These pictures show how people have changed the landscape of Kuala Lumpur. In the year

1950, the road Bukit Batang was very quiet and there was no traffic, no bikes, and no cars. The

road was just peaceful. Now, humans changed the landscape by using better materials to create

many useful items such as cranes, and cement trucks. Bukit Batang is better known as Star Hill

because of all the tourists. They built Star Hill because the tourists would come for the food,

shopping centers, cafes, clubs etc. They did this so they would produce more and more money.

Star Hill was as crowded and busy as a big factory.

Population and Resources of Kuala Lumpur

The producers mining tin established the city of Kuala Lumpur. People came to my city in the

past because there was a trade route between India and China. Kuala Lumpur is located on the

western part of Malaysia. And this is important because people don't have to walk there like the

past. Today people come to Kuala Lumpur because of amazing architecture, tasty food, awesome

resources, and cool transportation.

The current population in Kuala Lumpur is 1.6 million people. The major nationalities

represented are Malay, Chinese, Indian, and people who lived in Malaysia for hundreds of years.The resources in Kuala Lumpur are rubber, tin, oil, gas etc. The major industries and businesses

today include, farming, agriculture, rubber palm oil and coca, mining tin, oil and gas field. Most of

the peoples religion is Muslim. The language is mostly Malay.

Today people choose to live in Kuala Lumpur due to the businesses, and transportation.

Therefore, Kuala Lumpur is now a lot better because of all the resources that the people have

produced

OLD K.L.

Anecdote of Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur for me is

spectacular. The food

there is astonishing

because it wasnt JUST

Malaysian food, it was

also Spanish food! It was

as spicy as red chili or

fire! The places where you

stay are also really nice.

I stayed in Shangri-La,

and there were a lot of

activities near my room,

such as: Kiddie Bungee

Jumping, tattooing,

watersides (swimming),

buffets, and after the

buffets we would always do

fire dancing. Kiddie

Bungee Jumping is

basically youre on a

trampoline and your tied

on to a rope, and you

start to jump up and down.

When I was leaving, I felt

bad but I had a really fun

time.

Kuala Lumpur Past to Present

Kuala Lumpur used to be a very weak country because the Dutch invaded them in 1641. Then

the British took over in 1786. From 1892-1957 Malaya was totally under British control except

during the Japanese occupation of 1941-1945.

In 1957 Britain granted independence to the federation of Malaya. The first prime minister of

the republic was Tunku Abdul Rahman. Then in 1963 the federation of Malaysia was created to

include Malaya Sarawak, Singapore, and Sabuh but Singapore left in 1965. The next years were

spent in building a strong united nation. In 1981 Dr. Mahathir Mohamad became prime minister.

Malaysia made law such as: Belief in God, Following and defending the constitution, Loyalty to

the king and country, Rule of Law, Good Behavior and Morality.

Persuasive Paragraph

Kuala Lumpurs culture is as colorful as a rainbow. Lots of people came to Kuala Lumpur

because was a trade route between India and China. Did you now Kuala Lumpur also also has Twin

Towers? Kuala Lumpur used to be a very weak country because the Dutch invaded then in1641.

Kuala Lumpur has cool sights and structure, come and explore with me!

ANECDOTEFinn said: When I

visited the Great Wall

of China, it was a

remarkableexperience. I went

there for a school

trip. As I arrived it

was extremely

crowded. I squeezed

through all of the

people and I finally

got through. Imarched down the

wall, and looked out

to the view. There

were so many trees

like the stars in a

night sky. I began

strolling down the

path with myclassmates. It was

stupendously long

though, after about

30 minutes to 1 hour,

we finally stopped. I

was as sweaty as an

enormous man trying

to run a marathon.

We finally went home.

That was heaps of

fun, I thought.

Po ulation and Re"rceThe City of Beijing has been a center of government of China more than 2,000 years.

There are lots of different reasons why people go to visit or live in Beijing. First, they come to

see part of the Great Wall of China Thats as big as a thousand mansions put together!

Secondly, they come to see construction and repair. Lastly they come to see the

development of the city. Beijing is located in the Northern part of China. It is important that

Beijing is located there because the Great Wall of China is part of Beijing so it separates them

from Mongolia. China and Mongolia used to be against each other so the Great Wall of China

is in between those two countries. There are lots of things to see and do in Beijing so lots of

people like to go there these days.

There are lots of different things to see and do in Beijing, so the population is getting

bigger. The population right now is approximately 14 million people. The main occupations of

China are agriculture (10.2%), industry (27.8%) and services (34.1%) but they do have

different religions (Buddhism, Taoism, Confuciansism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. An

interesting population fact about Beijing is that 21.5 million rural population of China live

below the official absolute poverty line. I think the most interesting thing I learned about the

people of my city is that there are so many reasons why people go to China. Although the

poverty line is pretty high, that shouldnt discourage people from going there because there

are still lots of opportunities.

some peking duck. That is when

my life changed. I tasted the

crunchiness of the peking duckand the soft texture rolling in my

best meals Ive have ever had. I

took another bite, and another

until I finished it all and wanted

more. It was so good I was about

to get 50 more of them! After I

was done with my meal I went to

watch the show of the Acrobats. I

heard it was remarkable. It was

amazing, I watched as the people

twisted and turned it was so

fascinating. I could never do that.

But that really seemed like a once
