We need to plan very well as our ideas might not come across properly. We also need to insert some level of details and zest to make your presentation a good one. We should also have good presentation skills or we will not be able to get our ideas across.

The helping hand
I found some money
I didn't know who it belonged to
I saw something very funny
When I found the stranded money
Two boys wee playing catching
Without somebody watching
So I gave them back their money
And they were very happy

Isometric Drawing

Isometric means "equal measurement". The true dimension of the object is used to construct the drawing. You get the true dimension from either orthographic views or by measuring the object. Because of the convenience of using actual measurements to create the isometric image, it has become the industry standard for parts manuals, technical proposals, patent illustrations and maintainance publications.

Oblique Drawing

Oblique drawing is drawing a 3-d image with one side of the object with its true shape and the rest of the sides with different shapes.Eg: cube, cuboid

Orthographic Drawing

Orthographic drawing is drawing a 3d image from different 2d views. This enables us to see the 3d image from different sides.

Environment

To me the environment means a place where you are surrounded by. The things and/or people in that place make up the environment.

This is what the mac dictionary says:
The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
• the setting or conditions in which a particular activity is carried on : a good learning environment.[This sort of environment is quite abstract in the sense that its the vibes you get from that place not the things that are there.]
• Computing the overall structure within which a user, computer, or program operates : a desktop development environment.[This environment is technological.]
2 ( the environment) the natural world, as a whole or in a particular geographical area, esp. as affected by human activity.[This is what most people refer to as environment.]

This is what wikipedia says:
Environment may refer to:

• Built environment, constructed surroundings that provide the setting for human activity, ranging from the large-scale civic surroundings to the personal places
• Environment (biophysical), the physical and biological factors along with their chemical interactions that affect an organism
• Environment (systems), the surroundings of a physical system that may interact with the system by exchanging mass, energy, or other properties
• Environmental art
• Environmental determinism
• Environmental policy
• Environmental psychology
• Environmental quality
• Environmental science, the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment
• Environments (series) A series of LPs, cassettes and CDs depicting natural sounds
• Knowledge environment
• Natural environment, all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth
• Social environment, the culture that an individual lives in, and the people and institutions with whom they interact

In computing:

• Desktop environment, in computing, is graphical user interface to the computer
• Environment variable, the set of environments defined in a process
• Integrated development environment, a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software
• Runtime environment, a virtual machine state which provides software services for processes or programs while a computer is running

Look at the amount of different meanings environment. They are all completely different .

All in all I now think environment just means a place something or someone is surrounded by.
