for the winter
The winter is coming, the weather is getting colder. Today, The high is -4, but It feels like -12 with the wind-chill.
I have to go to school every morning, so I prepare to bundle up for riding a bicycle. I have a toque, snow boots, a thermal undershirt, down vest, a thick down jacket with a hood and so on. In a word, I have everything I need to wear.
Over the few months or years I can dress enough warmly in the winter. Even so,I'm scared of Canada's winter. Last winter, I wore the thermal undershirt, the thick down jacket with a hood, the tuque, the gloves and the boots when I went to school. One day, it was -14, but the real feel was -22. Strong wind blew against my face and I felt it in my bones through my clothes, I felt my blood would have frozen. I know It isn't enough to have everything you need to wear in Canada's winter.
My teacher told me that few of Canadians usually bike in the winter. Yes, but my house is so close our school, that I have no alternative way except biking. I think it is a good idea to buy a winter biking gear. I will buy my car in the next year. I feel my teacher always notice me, so it will make me to feel warmer in the cold winter.

WINTER CLOTHING
Winter is a gift of nature. Everybody must wear the right clothing in the winter season.If you want to stay warm you have to wear three layer of clothing. As follows: base layer, mid layer and outer layer.You choose for base layer some wool,silk and other various synthetic fibres.Then a mid layer should be thicker then base layer.The outer layer is very important as it protects you from heavy snow and wind.This must be water proof.
Then you should wear hat and scarf,thick socks and snow boots.Because we lose most of our body heat though out head and feet.This year I learned lot about winter clothing.Nowadays I wear three layer clothing and I feel very comfortable.
Winter is comes in this year
This week ,the weather gets colder. It`s a season of snow and ice.The temperture drops to -20 and lower sometimes. The snow covered the street and forest. There is nothing in the world as peaceful as walking through the woods on a moonlit winter night.
Winter is a strong and gangerous season, you have to be carful and need to know how to avoid injuries. If you go outside , wear warm coat, mitts or gloves, scarf,hat and insulated boots.Of course, you can do different activities such as skating, sledding, skiing and snowboarding.Another popular winter sport is hockey. Children play in the snow, build snow forts and make snowmen.
The winter clothing.
It's really important to know how we bundle up in winter time. If you are going to outside, you have to put on the correct clothes such as a hat, an adequate jacket, a scarf. Also, you must wear up comfortable and warm boots which can be from wool and rubber or leather. Be careful, stay warm and take care about the ground. It's slippery at this time because the snow becomes sheet of ice.
anyways, you must to protect your body from the cold. Otherwise, you can get sick with the flu as well.
Because winter is the coldest season of the year, we must to pay attention to what the news says and attend their instructions to follow. Be on the ball for the forecasts and listen to news on radio.
Then, I am going to say how my first winter and feeling in Canada were when I came to Canada. there was not any snow compared to this year in which it already snowed. At that then, there just was getting colder and I felt so strange about the way how people bundle up because I had never seen snow before, just through pictures or T.V. Also, I felt like hibernated bears in their caves due to I used to the worm climate that's why I got lost everything. However, I feel very glad for being here in Canada, I don't care if the weather is hot or not. I just cover myself really well and that's all. Now, I get better everything and I feel like that as well.
Welcome to Canada where the weather is like that.
Welcome to Canada where the weather is like that.

Winter clothes,
Because in Poland there is a similar climate as Canada, winter clothes aren't anything new for me. I learned to dress correctly when I was a kid. My mother made for me sweaters, mittens, wool socks and toques. Now, I know it's important to protect my body, especially my head and feets. It nessessery to have a good shoes.
While I do sports, I should to clothe different, not to warm. For example - during skiing isn't nessessery many clothes but important is to protect against the wind.

Movember - Leydi Mackenzie
MOVEMBER
The first week of Movember I go for dinner to the Kelsey's restaurant and I saw moustache stickers for all the place. For the first time in my life I listen about Movember campaign. A few days after in my class the teacher made a great presentation about that. I think that it is a good idea and the men need awareness too. The prostate cancer is one of the most deadly of the cancers . This day began my curiosity and I watch all the men on the street and all the places and I look for their moustache. What a big surprise! Nobody I saw had the moustache or seem to be supporting this but we all talk about it but we need more action. Not just the name for the campaign . Come on MEN getting moving and grow your moustache. Time is running out. (the hair from other part of the body is valid?)

Movember ...in simple words...
Movember in simple words mean, to help raise money and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer under the Movember movement name.
Man are encourage to grow their moustaches all November.
In general men do not talk much about their health issues and are not regular visitors to the doctor for prevention screening.
I fully support Movember and I like to see men have fun. Every man who can, should grow a moustache but when they do, hopefully make the direct connection between facial hair and support for prostate cancer awareness.
ENJOY MOVEMBER!!!
movember
I like this month because is about mustaches month.
This month is that men are not cutting there mustaches as a symbol of suffering prostate cancer and also to raise funds. IIT doesn't matter to my, if men leaves there mustaches is for a good cause.

REMEMBER IN MOVEMBER
Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become walking, talking billboards, for our men’s health causes - specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and male mental health initiatives....
SO...
Men, I would urge you to consider growing your ’mo this month. And ladies, if you see a gentleman sporting an awesome ‘stache, remember to encourage him by smiling and saying, “Nice mo!”
It’s more than just a silly fad. It’s (quite literally) changing the face of men’s health.
Movember
During November each year movember is responsible supporting for men's health
My husband has never had a moustache because I don't like moustache. I don't mind
if he want to grow moustache for this month. I support men to join the movement
grooving moustache for 30- days in November. Also fundraise fore men's health
specifically prostate cancer. Also I support people who exercise. I think everyone
should go to for a walke every day least 30 min. Exercise is not just for men it is
for everyone.

Movember is the month for moustaches growing
Movember is the month for moustaches growing
I like this different and an excellent ideas. before i thought movember is some thing like game or about some funny story happend in the past. when our teacher told us about why people growing moustaches on November.Movember have two meaning one in this month of November mustaches growing to help sick people.This idea hide two meaning first is fun and awareness to help who needy and movember hide another meaning is move. I think move is the most excellent idea for every one because exercises are more better. If we do exercises in our daily routines, this is greatly decrease getting many diseases I think every one wants healthy life. If we want to live healthy life, then we follows Dr.Mike advice, he wants men and women to include 30 minutes of exercises in their daily routines because this can greatly decrease the chances of getting many diseases. When we follows this great idea we will not going to be sick. When we are healthy, every one working good and achieve his/her goal, more high thinking more healthy and we help more better. We can use those money on other serious iuse for example we can make new school because when every one have education, then they can think about healthy life and secondly we can use money to help the hungry peoples in world.
OK BEY MY FRIEND,S T C
CAN YOU READ MY POST THIS IS MY IDEA ABOUT MOVE IS MOST BETTER FOR OUR HEALTH.
FROM RIZWANA
Movember
I'm agree with Movember . The word Mo in the beginning of the word Movember that is show the Mo in moustache .
I believed that Dr Mike give his support to Movember moustache growing is a good ideas to raise money for Prostate Cancer research for Men. But he also wants every body not just men to have 30 minute of exercise into their daily routine to reduce of getting many diseases.
About my opinion I don't like my husband or my son have moustache growing forever but just only for "Movember for November ".
I like the most word Movember is to Move more everyday.

MOVEMBER
MOVEMBER
MOVEMBER is a matched that comes from a combination between moustache and Movember the 2 first letters are the 2 first letters of moustache and the rest are for November. It means that somebody invented a way to make happy to people who have prostate cancer, so I think this was an excellent idea because is quite important to support low-income and ill people. The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health.
Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has used Movember to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues in Australia and New Zealand. Monetary proceeds go toward the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, the Cancer Society and Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, and Beyond Blue.
In 2007, the Foundation launched campaigns in Canada (funds raised go to the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada), Spain (FEFOC), the United Kingdom, and the United States (the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Livestrong Foundation). In the US, Movember's men's health partners are The Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG.
In 2008, the Movember Foundation started the event in the Republic of Ireland. The beneficiary in that country is Action Prostate Cancer, an initiative of the Irish Cancer Society.
A non-foundation Movember event has been held in the Cayman Islands by a "MOvember Committee" since 2006. The event has been sponsored by CML Offshore Recruitment and raises funds for the Cayman Islands Cancer Society.

We need Movember
If we change first letter "N" in November, November becomes Movember, so it is suitable that November is called Movember month. I like a mustache, but I have never had it, because my wife don't like any mustache. One day, I told my wife I wanted to nave a beautiful mustache. "You have to choose only one between a mustache and I." my wife answered me. A wife is more important than a mustache. Even so, I think Movember ought to be a man's festival.
Movember means move and health. Everybody needs move. That is most important way for getting health. It is sample and easy. You can do Tai Chi, work out in the morning, and walk in the evening. You can go to work by bike. If you are free, you can usually swim or hike.
Chinese people say:" life is move." I think it is correct. If you keep moving every day, you will be as fit as a fiddle. This month is November! If you agree with me, why don't you start from now?
Hello:every body
Movember is an annual month involving the growing of moustaches during the month.I have never had a moustache but I think this a good idea because The goal of Movember is change the face of men's health,It raises funds for prostate cancer,and It raise awarness of men's health.then I have supported Dr:Gake so every body needs thirty minutes exercise every day to reduce for getting diseases such as depressed,prostata cancer
