Annotated summary #Draft 1

Environmental Impacts of Natural Gas (2014). The Union of Concerned Scientists. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/timeline/environment.

In the article, “Environmental Impacts of Natural Gas”, the author from Union of Concerned Scientist has addressed the environmental impacts from combustion of natural gas. The burning of natural gas has caused several environmental issues such as air pollution and the effects on land use and wildlife. The author mentioned the burning of natural gas has produced nitrogen oxides which are harmful pollutants. The pollutants have caused health issues such as “asthma, bronchitis, lung cancer, and heart disease” to many of the people in America. Exposure to these harmful pollutants can lead to respiratory health conditions.

On the land use and wildlife aspect, the author mentioned that the building of the power plant for burning of natural gas has harmed the ecosystem and affected wildlife habitats. The construction process has allowed harmful pollutants to be released into nearby streams. It resulted in aquatic contamination from chemical spills. In addition, the reduction of habitats has affected wildlife.

This article has provided our team useful information for our research project in terms of the effects of burning natural gas. It has affected the environment significantly, which will be related to using plants as an alternative way of producing electrical energy as part of our research project.

    Dear Jin Han,

    Thank you for sharing this helpful annotated summary that can focus on the natural gas brings the impact to the natural.

    You have mentioned the natural gas can effect the environment and human's health condition. These information will be helpful and as a supportive evidence that finite resource will cause negative effects. Besides, I think you should write "has addressed" instead of "has address", be mind about the language.

    Best regards,
    Terry.

    Dear Jin Han,

    Thank you for sharing on the environmental effects of natural gases. I agree that the burning of natural gases has lead to an increase in environmental pollution, and this will greatly impact future generations. As earthlings that depend on natural resources from mother earth, it is crucial that we preserve and protect the environment for our future earthlings. I am glad that this article has provided you with information to share with the others.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely yours
    Herman

Formal letter revised (Descriptive reflection)

 Dear Professor Brad, The purpose of me writing this formal letter to you is about an introduction about myself and the expectations I have for in this communication module. My name is Tan Jin Han, and I  graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in mechanical engineering. Currently, I am studying Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (SIE) of building services in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Due to one of the modules which I had studied in my polytechnic, I was amazed of how we are able to make use of resources such as the solar panels to generate electricity. Also, I had learned how a simple windmill is able to convert the energy from the wind to produce electrical energy. Subsequently, electricity is being provided to the users which is referring to us. That is why I have chosen to take up this course in SIT. In terms of communication, my strength would be being open-minded. I would always try my best to understand from his or her point of view.

Summary writing of "What we do and don’t know about the links between air pollution and coronavirus" article

 In the article "What we do and don’t know about the links between air pollution and coronavirus" written by Lewis (2020), he stated on his view of how air pollution is link with corona virus. Air pollution has increased the rate of "strokes, heart disease, respiratory illness and more" which has lead to high mortality rate. Therefore, its clear that air pollution and corona virus are interlink. However there are other factors as well contributing to corona virus. In highly developed countries such as New York and London where it has high influx of people due to its "extensive global travel connections". It increases the chances of "person-to-person contagion rates". In urban areas, people also tend to take mass transport system. This means that higher chances of infectious rate. Even though air pollution plays a part in corona virus, there are other contributing factors too that affect is affecting corona virus.
