The civilizations have changed many time from the past 100 years until today, and many countries have changed from era to the next era also.
I can't demonstarte very well about how far the civilizations have changed or how other countries have developed, but I can explan about Thailand, which is a country in South East Asia. My hometown "Bangkok" has changed a lot from 100 years ago to now in 3 ways: the building, transportation, and the life style of the people.
The buildings have changed in many ways in a 100 years ago. a hundred years ago, people usually made their house by themselves, and they used a ton of wood to make it. They believed that wood is very was very strong. Moreover, wood was very simple and easy to find in the past 100 years. Unlike the past, today people always build a house with concrete because its structure is stronger than wood, but for some reasons many people still prefer to build a house with wood. Building a house with wood in this erais very expensive because people used up wood to make a single house or furnitures. A hundred years ago there were a lot of small houses near the river because the river was the best source for living, but now today there are plenty of hotels near the river. Lots of hotel companies believe that having a hotel near the river is more attractive to the tourist than in downtown.
Transportation is one of the changes in the last 100 years. A hundred years ago people used to go everywhere by boat, rail road, or the three-wheel bycicle. It took very long time if one who was in vital circumstance to reach to the place. However, these form of transportation did not make the air polution problem. For example, a hundred years ago people used a boat that was different from now. In addition, thet did not use the engine boat, so there was not any oil contaminating in the river. Moreover, there were only two lanes of rail road for each road. On the other hand, today people prefer to buy they own car. Maybe they think that having a car can demonstrate that they are rich. Besides, rail road might be too slow for today. The most significant change that I see is the three-wheel bycicle. The three-wheel bycicle is different from a regular bycicle because it has one wheel at the front and two more wheels behind the front wheel. In the past people used three-wheel bycicle to go to a placethat was not really far. A rider of the three-wheel bycicle would ride around the town and when he saw a customer he would stop and carry them. After that, the customers had to pay for the ride, which was not really expensive. These forms of transportation were very important in the past, and it made my hometown calm. However, today my hometown has a ton of cars, subway, and motorcycles. These make people feel more comfortable, but it makes a lot of polutions too.
The last difference of my hometown after it has been changing is the lifestyle of people. Before I was born, people lived amore simple life. They used to work in their farm, but today everyone wants towork in a big company. There are only a few farmers who live in the country who are still living this simple life. In the past , people slept very early because not every single house had electricity. However, today my hometown never stops no matter if it is day or night. Some people said, this is the cause of crime. In addition, some people have to work really hard to pay their bills, and they have to work untill 10 pm. at night. In the past, people were able to buy their meal just only 25 cent (Thai currency 1 Baht = 100 cent, 35 Baht= 1 dollar), but now one meal is about 35 baht. Even though some people say that this is because of the economy is growing bigger than before, but I think money makes people life unbalance. In summary, people in the past had a more simply life than people today.
Everything in my hometown has been changing such as the constructions, the transportation. and lifestyle of people. I can not make the world stop. I can just recollect some of my memories in the past, and remember the revolution of everything that I have known since I was a boy. I could never know the result of this alteration. My deep hope is that people will be able to adjust themselves to this change and try to understand it.

paragraph 2
Transportation is one of the changing in 100 years. A hundred years ago people used to go to somewhere by boat, rail road, or the three wheels bycicle. It took very long time if one who was in vital curcumstance to reach to the place. However, these transportations did not make the air polution problem. For example, a hundred years ago people used a boat that very different from now. In addtion, they did not use the engine boat, so there was not any oil contaminating in the river. Moreover, there were only two lanes of rail road for each road. On the other hand, today people prefer to buy they own car. Maybe they think that having a car can demonstrate that they rich. Beside, rail road might be too slow for today. The most thing that I always think is the three wheels bicycle. The three wheels bicycle is differrent from a regular bicycle because it has one wheel ath the front and two more wheels behind the front wheel. In the past people used three wheels bicycle to go to some place, which was not really far and not really close. A rider of the three wheels bicycle would ride around the town and when he saw a customers he will carry them. After that, the customers had to pay for the ride, which was not really expensive. These three transportation were very important in the past, and it made my hometown very calm. Unlike, today my hometown has a ton of cars, subways, and motor cycles. These make people feel more comfortable, but it makes a lot of polutions too.
Last difference of my hometown after it has been changing is lifestyle of people. Before I was born, people lived with their easy life. They used to work in their farm, but today everybody like to work in a big company. There is just only a farmers who live in a suburb are still use this simple life. In the past, people slept very early because of not every single house had an electricity. However, today my hometown is never stop no matter in the day or night. Some people said, this is the cause of crime. In addition, some people have to work really hard to pay their bills, and they have to work untill 10 p.m at night. In the past, people were able to buy their meal just only 25 cent ( Thai currency 1 Baht = 100 cent, 35 baht = 1 dollar ), but now one meal can cause 35 baht. Even though some people said that this is because of the economic is growing bigger than before, but I think the money that one have is unbalance from he or she gets. According from above, people in the past had more simply life than people today.
From the biggest of my point, which is the world, untill the smallest point, which is my hometown. Everything has been changing such as the constuction, the transportation, and lifestyle of people. I can not control the world to stop. I can just recollect some of my memories in the past, and remember the revolution of everything that I have known since I was born. I could never know the result of this alterability. My deeply hope is people are able to adjust themselve to this changing and try to understand it.

intro and first paragraph
1. The world has changed from the Ice age to now today, and many countries have changed from era to era also. I can not demonstrate very well about how far that the world has changed or other countries have developed, but I can explain about my own country which is very small in the South East Asia. My hometown "Thailand" has changed a lot from 100 years ago to now in 3 ways: the buildings, transportation, and the life style of the people.
2. The buildings have changed in many ways from the past 100 years ago. A hundred years ago people usually made their house by themselves, and they used a ton of woods to make it. They believed that woods very strong. Moreover, woods were very simple and easy to find in the past 100 years. Unlike, today people always builds the house by a congreat because of its supplement is stronger then wood, but for some reasons many people are still prefer to build a house by wood. Building a house by wood in this era is very expensive because when the country has started developing it means people started to use more wood to build many building such as a bridge or a city's wall. A hundred years ago there were a lot of small house near to the river because river is the best source for living, but now today there is a plenty of a hotel near the river. Lots of hotel companies believe the having a hotel near to the river is more attracted to the tourist than in downtown.

Achievment
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.'
Helen Hayes The reason why I like this quote because it show me to compare between the achievment and success, and I think the same as the writter, too. Achievement is totally important for my life. Achievement is everything that I have done since I know how to solve the problem. Achievment requires patient, and achievment has to exchange with many mistakes.
Success is just being praised by others. Some people is success by a lotto ticket, or some just receive the money from their parent and make their own business and success. Both of Achievment and Success are good, but I recommend to pay attention more in Achievment. Everything I have studied can teach me how to solve the problem. Every mistakes I have done can make me realize not to do it again. Achievment is keep growing every days untill the last day of life.

The Heavier Than Heaven : A Biography of Jimi Hendrix is a biography. The reason I selected this book because I really like to playing or listening music espeacially rock music, and Jimi Hendrix is the king of rock for me.
The story takes place in Seattle, Washington in 1942 - 1970. The most important of this story was Jimi Hendrix who has called the king of rock and roll for many people.
The story is about Jimi Hendrix life since he had born untill he died. Guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Jimi Hendrix was born in November 27, 1942, in Seattle, Washington. Learning to play guitar as a teenager, Hendrix grew up to become a rock guitar legend. He began his career by playing in a number of bands in his youth. Hendrix later enlisted in the United States Army in 1961 and became as a paratrooper. Even as a soldier, Hendrix found time for music, creating a band named The King Casuals. He served in the army until 1965 when he was discharged because of an injury.After leaving the military, Hendrix pursued his music, working as a session musician and playing backup for such performers as Little Richard, Sam Cooke, and the Isley Brothers. He also formed a group of his own called Jimmy James and the Blue Flames, which played gigs around New York City’s Greenwich Village neighborhood. In mid-1966, Hendrix met Chas Chandler, a former member of the Animals, a successful rock group, who became his manager. Chandler convinced Hendrix to go to London where he joined forces with musicians Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell to create The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The story ended sadly. I think Hendrix did many good music and he still be an idol for many rocker. Hendrix died on September 18, 1970, from drug-related complications. While this talented recording artist was only 27 at the time of his passing, Hendrix left his mark on the world of rock music and remains popular to this day.
The person that I like the most is Jimi Hendrix. He was the king of rock for many people before I was born ,and firs time when I listened to his music I thought he is the king of rock too.
I like this story because it is about my idol life, and I think this is a good book because it is a real life. I think people are not going to be happy entire of their life, so if we do our best before we die other people still recollect us for long time.

Journal for Voice
Today is the first day of this semester. I have to study again and again, and my speaking skill still not improve.
so today we was studing about how to speak high and low pitch. It was weird for me because I am not get used to it.
But It may be good though.
Today we have to find a Poem becasue it is our final exam. We have to read it in correctly way. We have to pronouce ever word also. I will try to speak slowly and clearly. The teacher gave us an appointment for private lesson also. My private lesson is next week.
Today we played game about how to write the word in IPA. My team was lost but it was okay. It was so difficult.
But it was good for us to know how to say many word in correctly way.And we have to take an IPA exam next week. I am afraid about it.
Today was my first appointment and it was so bad. I spent 20 minute for just one word. " CASE " was that word because we have mix two sound together. I have to practice that word alot. I hope I can do it soon.
Today I ask my US friend that when I speak it sounds like a monotone? and he say yes a little bit. Maybe am not used to it. My teacher said Asain people use to speak flat tone or in the same tone. In English we have to speak up and down . Like when we sing a song.
Today the teacher touch us to speak every word. We have to speak lounder and slowly and clearly. Like an insane people. He said it helps a lot then OK I will try.
My problem is TH sound because my toung is very strong so it gonna be difficult for me. like the word "This That "
and The performence is coming I have to practice. and speak slowly and make up and down when I speak with people.
My Voice and Articulate is the third class in a day. I am always hungry and feel sleepy all the time. Sometimes the teacher let us lay down on the floor and take a deep breath. That time I can take a nap also. Sometimes I hear my Thai friend snore beside me. The teache likes to turn on music when we lay down and take a deep breath. The music makes us easy to feel sleep. It is good for Kay and me to sleep.
Today I had an appointment with teacher again. this time I can say "CASE" but still have another problem. TH sound was my problem.It was so weird to move my toungh out of my mouth. but I have to at first I thought it was the same like D sound but it different.
Today the time was running so fast. or It was because I was sleeping in the class. I dont know about my speaking skill much but most of the time people can understand it. So it's find but sometime I have to repeat it again and again.
Today I listen to the Voice CD and I dont know excactly which one that the teacher wants us to listen so I just listen it all. I think it was useful to listen it. to learn how to speak and to learn how to speak up and down. It depends on our emotion.
Today is the last day of appointment. The teacher said I have to practice to speak up and down because when I speak was like a monotone. and I confused he said I have to record my voice and listen to it.
Why I have to write this journal I dont know what am gonna write anymore nothing spacial for today and everyday in the past. and it not gonna improve my speaking skill. huhhhh it still be my homework.
