2021 was a disastrous year for many people. I live in Canada, right next door to British Columbia. They were hit by floods in fall and fires all summer, huge fires, many of them unable to be controlled. May we not see another weather cycle like the one this summer. The floods, in my opinion -- an opinion shared by some environmentalists, was caused by removal of trees near river banks. My feelings about that, if provable without a doubt, is that logging should be curtailed, especially in very sensitive areas.
The winter has been pretty awful as well. It has reached something like - 40oC and 40oC (that's a plus 40) in the summer. 40 C is over 100 degrees where you are if you are in the United States.
Public speaking is a skill some people will use outside of school , example if your career is a president you will need to speak out to your community and persuade people on why you are a better candidate / pick !
