1 - Imagine you are part of a big orchard with lot of trees around. How do you feel being cut?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Being with lots of friends around will always makes me happy. Having said that, of course I would be very sad and dissappointed to see my community including me being cut for whatever purpose it is. Besides that, I would be angry for the injustice that occurs to us in the name of development cannot be tolerated. People are always thinking of themselves to gain lots of money and other benefits without having a thought on what will happen to the entire biodiversity of this lovely planet earth.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2 - What will happen to all the animals which were taking shelter on you?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Deforestation is a calamity towards all the flora and fauna. In our hot and humid climate, there are many animals and species of plants living and survive in the forest. If the trees being cut, all of this especially the animals will face extinction as there are no food resources anymore. If the trees are still there, animals are taking shelter on it and finding food in its vast varieties of plants. Without it they have no place to hide, play around, and even a sources of food.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3 - What would be the surroundings like after you are cut?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The surrounding would be very dry as in the words of Malay idioms, <i>"padang jarak padang tekukur."</i> The forest are no longer has the capacity to support its biodiversity and be the natural place of water reservoir. This may lead to other serious problems such as soil erosion and climate change.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4 - What chenge will take place in the environment after you are cut?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The environment will be affected by the global warming. Carbon dioxide emission will increase and this contribute to the greenhouse effect. Eventhought it is so, people will start to develop the place, filled it with many projects such us to build business area and housing area. But, the air will be polluted and not as fresh as before.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5 - Message you would like to give to people who are cutting down trees.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For this type of people, the always thinking of themselves and not of others. They have to bear in mind that this mother nature is created for many living things to stay in it. The different in needs of all this living things must be taken care of. We have to appreciate and care for them whole heartedly because this world will be inherited by our children after we died.<br />

Crayfish also live in Europe, New Zealand, East Asia and throughout the world, including the Tristan da Cunha Islands. Nearly all live in freshwater, although a few survive in salt water. Crayfish are characterised by a joined head and thorax, or midsection, and a segmented body, which is sandy yellow, green, or dark brown in colour.

Among the smallest is the 2.5-centimetre-long Cambarellus diminutus of the south-eastern United States. Among the largest is Astacopsis gouldi of Tasmania; its length may reach 40 cm and its weight about 3.5 kg (8 pounds).<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>The head has two pairs of sensory antennae and a pair of eyes on movable stalks. The appendages, or pereiopods, of the thorax include four pairs of walking legs which, as well as walking, are to probe cracks and crevices between rocks looking for food. Crayfish also own one pair of clawbearing chelipeds, which it extends in front of its body while moving. These strong pinchers are specialised for cutting, capturing food, attack, and defence. A pinch can hurt! The crayfish also has several pairs of specialised food handling "legs," bailers to cycle water over the gills, and five pairs of swimmerets which are under the abdomen. All of these "legs" can be regenerated if broken off.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />

This jointed exoskeleton provides protection and allows movement, but limits growth. As a result, the crayfish regularly gets too big for its skeleton, sheds it, and grows a new larger one. This is called molting. and occurs six to ten times during the first year of rapid growth, but less often during the second year. For a few days following each molt, crayfish have soft exoskeletons and are more vulnerable to predators.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

The biggest difference is between frogs and toads in North America. Frogs are skinnier than toads and their skin is smooth and looks slimy. Toads have wider bodies and their skin is drier and rough and warty. In some tropical places the toads look very much like frogs, though, so you can’t always tell them apart this way.</b><b style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> Frogs aren’t all green. Some types of frogs are yellow, brown, orange, red, black, or a combination of these colors. Some frogs even change colors. The patterns on each type of frog are different, too. Some frogs have no patterns at all and are just a solid color and others have very cool markings on them. </b><br />

Different countries have different beliefs that might be good or bad, but for number 13 it was widely known as a bad luck number.
