media type="custom" key="8506598" HOUSE SAFETY REPORT By Max

The changes I would like to make to my house are. 1. I would like to get reinforced steel corner pillars in my foundation to make it strong and flexible, 2. I would like to take our metal roof off and make a flat reinforced concrete roof. I can turn off the water at our reservoir, the electricity at our power box in our store room and the gas can be turned off by turning a knob. (Because we only have one gas bottle for the stove) The best places to ** DROP-COVER-HOLD **. 1. in my doorway 2. On the concrete floor outside the bath room 3. In the long passageway. The best container to use would be my dad’s aluminum trunk because it can be buried for hundreds of years and it would preserve the stuff inside, the stuff I would put in would be; extra clothes, torch (flashlight), leather man (gadget with everything), some food (like biscuits or fruit), batteries for torch, sleeping bag, blanket and phone or walkie talkie.

What is your advice be to Ammani? Should she go or stay? Why?
My advice to Ammani would be to stay and not to go to the UK. She seems a social person and the graph shows a lot people would miss her if she went to UK. Her father is not in a good condition, and I think she should stay in India till he is better. She could work in Bangalore, which isn’t far from her father, and get her degree there instead of having to waste time going to England. She would be amongst her type and get on well and racism in England is at large and it won’t be pleasant for her to go there. The children in the orphanage could also see you from time to time as you study and take care of your father. The people who migrated from kolar gold mines are not in your situation and were forced to move, but you can study, look after your father, and visit the orphanage without having to go to England.
 * Abdullah said **

I would advise her to move. Because all the people she knows are moving or have already moved abroad. She would get a better wage then she would if she stayed at home, and she could see new things that she has never seen before, plus because she was so concerned for her father’s health she would do the right thing for him and move to somewhere to improve his health. I understand that it would be hard for her to leave her boyfriend behind and her orphanage, but she could save up enough money to go and visit them for a while and her boyfriend and the orphanage. She should do all toughs things because in the end it would all work out for her better than if she stayed at home.
 * However Isabel says **

I would say go to England or the U.S to get your qualification and come back to Bangalore instead of the gold mines and set up your business there. That means you only leave your friends for a couple of years but you come back somewhere near to your originally hometown, which is Bangalore
 * While Kane’s idea is a compromise **

I think she should stay and the results on the table support this she is an intelligent girl but she has built a life in kolar gold fields and by the sounds of it she likes her life if it was me I would probably go to Bangalore it seems like she could stay with her Dad when he needed her and she could also get the qualifications she needs then maybe in a few years she can rethink the UK idea
 * And this is what Lauren thinks: **

My advice will be that she has a lot of family that would miss her and she has a boyfriend but on the overhand she also has family in the uk and the cinema in bollywood has closed over three years ago. so my conclusion is to her to go to the uk.
 * Uly thinks she should go: **

Life is good in Kolar but the lack of jobs and isolation of of it leads to an uninteresting future. It would be better if she went to the UK because there she could study IT and could lead a promising life. There would be more people and she could socialise.
 * And Mowgli says **

I think Ammani should stay where she is because she has her father here and she also has the children at the orphanage to look after. I don’t think she would like it if the children would miss her. And she would miss her father, boyfriend and the children at the orphanage. The father can probably get a job at the orphanage too. Sita can easily keep in touch with her. Ammani can also get the promotion she wants from the clothes shop manger. Ammani would probably feel strange travelling abroad and leaving the home she’s known all her life. Ammani can also look after her father, who has lung condition. If she went to the UK, her father would have no one to look after him. So I think Ammani should stay! Oh, and Ammani doesn’t have to learn or study IT because she is working in a clothes shop.
 * Shannon has lots to say! **

She should go because it probably would be better for her in the UK, even though she will miss some people that live in Kolar Fields. However some good things might happen to her, her boss wants to promote her, and so maybe moving to the UK would be a bad idea. Also she needs further qualifications to get a job in IT. Still, I think she should move to the UK because lots of her friends are already in the UK, she has family members also in the UK. Just as well, her father has a lung condition, and if she moved to the UK, it would be easier to take care of her father.
 * And Luke does not seem able to make up his mind! **

My advice to Ammani would be to move to the UK because the condition of life is better, you can get the job of your dream, your Dad would be much more healthy if he moved with you, you have more family there and you can have more money.
 * But Yulia certainly knows what she thinks **

For economic reasons she should leave due to no community no opportunities for work or to study and maybe could help her father get better if she went abroad she could get a proper job and send her father money for medicine or for someone to help .her father get better but on the other hand she has got family and her boyfriend that she would be worrying about but I’m sure she could visit them if she wanted to regularly.
 * And last but not least Zaineb: **

= Which parts of the UK are sparsely populations and which densely populated and why? = 1. Scotland and Wales are the most sparsely populated. This is because Scotland and Wales are ... Very Mountainous Have very few and small villages Very little employment Difficult to build roads and have access Poor communication / telephones, buses and trains
 * By Simone: **

2. The big cities of London, Birmingham and Manchester are densely populated. This is because... It’s easy to build lots of houses and offices There is a lot of employment There are good roads and railways There is good communications such as, telephones, post and transport There are good flat roads that are easy to access Served well by airports

= What will your home be like in 50 years? =

** I live in Marbella in the south of Spain **
In 50 years time, there will no Marbella, Global warming will have taken its toll and it will be underwater. Everything up to 5 to 6 metres will be underwater (they predict). It´s time that we do something about. The Last two generations have destroyed the planet and my generation and future generations will have to pay the price. Scientists predict that another big problem will be that there will not be enough fresh drinking water for everybody on this planet.
 * // By Eli //**

**I live in Surrey, near London.**
In 50 years time, there is speculation that by 2100 Britain will mostly be underwater due to melting ice from Antarctica. The Times predicted “London will be under water by 2100 as Antarctica crumbles into the sea” As horrible as it sounds it is most likely true with predicted water levels rising by 20ft at the end of the century. This has been mainly caused by Greenland’s ice sheet melting due to increased temperatures and heat with an increase of 5 degrees. This has happened previously before with the end of the ice age in prehistoric Greenland but even at that time when the ice melted it “destabilized” the Antarctic sheet and caused mass flooding in Sweden and heavily in London though this is not just expected to happen to us it is mainly going to affect low-lying countries/cities including Holland. So basically even if everyone stopped contributing to global warming now, we would still drown but not as much… J //** By Kane **//

** I live in South Africa. **
In 50 years time, I will be living in a desert. It was about 25 Celsius today, think about it this way, in 50 years time that would have just about double, thus making it about 50, turning South Africa into a desert. Drawing my pension would be easy because there would be no on else in the Queue, I could simply stroll on in and take it myself. //** By Liam **//

** I live in South Africa. **
In fifty years time the climate will have changed, it will either get hot and the ozone layer will disintegrate and then the heat will melt the Polar Regions. One scenario is that a mass of fresh water will go into the sea and then the currents will stop and that could be the beginning of an ice age. Another scenario is that the water will rise dramatically and then all the coastal regions will be flooded. This means that there will be much less land and many of the cities we know today will cease to exist. Another scenario is that the immense heat could also melt the south and north poles. This could cause the earth’s axis to shift and then the equator could move/shift, causing dramatic natural disasters such as earth quakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc. In any of these scenarios I will be fine because I live in southern regions and far away from the water. If any of these scenarios happen it is likely that we will go back to people trading and riding horses because there won’t be fuel or money you will have to trade your stuff for food because money will be useless. P.S. Our farm is available for rent if this happens just R1000 a night to stay away from harm’s way. We have a beautiful farm with all sorts of animals; it is a healing, peace pace. //** By Max **//

** I live in Spain **
In 50 years time,……. This country will be hotter and drier. The grass will go brown, rain will be scarce. Trees and flowers will whither and die. The ground will be hard and no flowers/crops will be able to grow through. Plants will die because we have not made the Earth wet/moist and we will not have stopped the bugs from eating the fruit from the trees. The sky will be clear and no clouds will be in there. Fruit will be covered in bugs because we will not have sprayed them. Life will be really hard! //** By Shannon **//

** I live in Luton in England. **
n 50 years time, I think that Luton will be a barren land if it continues this way. It will be hot and not much precipitation. Plants in my garden won’t grow and trees will die. Water will have to be taken from the north where it will be flooding. **//By Abdullah//**

I start at 5053 at the ancient monument and go south until I join a road. I follow the road south until I see a minor road on the right hand side. I turn right to follow the minor road west until I go down a steep hill. I come to a T-junction at a major road and turn left. I follow it south through the village of Draycot. After going through the village of Draycot I pass the campsite on the right hand side and then take the next left after the campsite. I walk up the minor road going north into the Big Stoke Deciduous wood. I end my walk in 4850.
