Part 2

1. Thinking about what you have learned in this lesson, take an in-depth look at your hometown. Using the terms listed below, write a one-paragraph description of the town where you currently live. Please include the name of your city and state in your description.

I currently live in Chino Hills California. I would consider the Region very dry and hot. There is not a lot of human systems, we do have train tracks with trains that come by so that's how we get some goods we need. there is not any canals in Chino Hills there is a bus system so that can be used as a human system because people travel and move around town that way. the buildings or place I live are small we don't have any skyscrapers like LA or New York, you can say Chino Hills is a small city that is growing.

2. Convince someone to move to a U.S. city of your choice, by describing the location using terms from the lesson. Be sure to include the name of the city and state you are writing about and make your response at least one paragraph in length.

You should come live in Los Angeles, California. the region is beautiful with nice summer days and winters that are not all that cold. Enjoy the human systems...
