Peer Review WA2 - Melvin

After I read Melvin's writing assignment 1, I found that it is quite logical and organized to me as I understand what he is trying to express in the essay. After reading the introduction paragraph, it gives me a rough idea on the background of nuclear power reactors and he chose very-high-temperature reactor to argue. From paragraph 1 to paragraph 2 there is no transition used. In this case, there is no direct link between the two paragraphs. As for paragraph 2, I think there is necessary to rephrase the sentences again and the structure is not in correctly done. In paragraph 4, there is no solid evidence to support the main idea thus the argument is not so strong. Overall, there are few grammar mistakes which need to be changed and some of the referencing is not properly done. This writing assignment is much better than the first writing assignment. Good Work!

Summary on "A force to fight global warming"

There is an increasing of awareness on how important natural ecosystem is in order to reduce global warming effect. Actually, the cost of preserving natural ecosystem is much lesser compared to losses of ecosystem that bring to us. People save natural ecosystem and in return, it provides livelihood and save people when natural disaster occurs. Maintain, restore and not destroy natural ecosystem is the easiest and safest way to save it. If it is destroyed, people will gain nothing from it and in fact, it will deteriorate the environment and harm people.

In the past, climate change is treated as an individual problem for nature and people but this is no longer so as this is a problem for both and an integrated approach is used to fight against global warming.

In conclusion, the integrated approach is to conserve biodiversity in order to slow down climate change, reduce global warming and raise the adaption of ecosystem and people simultaneously. People protect nature and consequently, it saves lives and sustains livelihood.
