acid rain).
It is generally acknowledged that the degradation of the natural
environment is one of the greatest threats to our planet. Almost all countries
have to struggle with ecological problems.
On all continents, many urban agglomerations cannot cope with the air
pollution caused by the automobile and industrialization. Forests are dying
because of the excessive emissions of sulphur and nitrogen into the atmosphere
and acid rain. At the same time, farmers pollute the soil and render it barren by
their overuse of pesticides and fertilizers. The reckless and uncontrolled clearing
of the rainforests has serious consequences for the climate the greenhouse
effect. It also causes the destruction of the natural habitat for much of the wildlife
and the extinction of numerous species of plants and animals.
The disastrous consequences of deforestation and the contamination of the
air, water and soil are hard to imagine. Nowadays, rapid climate change can be
observed caused by global warming, itself a result of the increased emissions of
heat-trapping gases into the air, especially carbon dioxide. The implications of
climate change are anomalies in the worlds weather systems with rising sea
levels, violent rainstorms, widespread flooding, drought and tropical cyclones.
Another problem is the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere, the so
called ozone hole caused by chloro-fluoro-carbons which are used in
refrigerators and air-conditioners. The thinning of the ozone layer is resulting in
increased ultra-violet radiation which, in turn, is bringing about serious health
problems such as skin cancer and blindness.
If the destruction of natural environment continues, life on earth may be
seriously endangered. Therefore, it is high time that more attention was paid to
ecological issues. Any measure undertaken to counteract the spoiling of the
environment is meaningful. We should remember that failing to protect nature
will ultimately be costlier than preserving it.
Today people live in the world full of ideas and inventions. I think that some
of these we can call the miracles of modern world.
I think that the biggest invention is the Internet. It allows people to
communicate with each other rapidly. Besides, it gives us a lot of information, fun
and entertainment.
The other magnificent achievement are planes. Thanks to them we can
travel around the world in very fast and comfortable way. Moreover, when we fly
above the clouds we can feel like birds.
I think that monumental buildings are also a kind of miracle. A lot of people
work to build for example a high skyscraper. Thanks to them appear beautiful
buildings which show how incredible things a human being can create.
Mobile phone is the other world wonder. It is a small but very clever device.
Tanks to them we can communicate from any place on the globe. Furthermore,
today mobile phones possess also cameras, mp3 players and other functions
which give us a lot of entertainment.
I think that the biggest human achievement is progress in medicine. In the
past people were dying with different diseases such as flu or tuberculosis which
now we can cure in one hundred percent. Besides, today we know vaccines which
prevent us from dangerous illnesses. Specialized tests help doctors give the true
diagnosis even in a very early phase. Thanks to medicine development people
today live longer and healthier.
On balance, I can say that all these things which Ive mentioned are
remarkable and make our life better. They really deserve to call them marvelous
miracles of the world .
How
is
our
modern
lifestyle
responsible
for
our
forgetfulness?
In modern world more and more people forget abort different things. Our
memory is becoming weak. Our lifestyle is mainly responsible for that.
We live in a world where everything is going very fast. We are always in a
hurry. People run after work, money and education so they often forget about
doing even basic things because they focus on more important things.
Another reason for our forgetfulness is stress. Our life now is very stressful. A
lot of people are afraid of losing their job and money. They have too much
problems. This kind of stress has negative influence on our nervous system,
causing also problems with our memory.
What is more, modern nutrition like eating fast foods, crisps and products
with high amount of fats and cholesterol has bed influence on our organism. As a
in result it harms our memory and causes illnesses.
Moreover, we have learnt that our mobile phones can remind us about certain
things. It remembers about our plans and what we are going to do so we dont
have to worry. As a result, our memory is fainter. Besides, we read less books
which develop our imagination and also our memory. Furthermore, we dont have
to remember some information because we can search it in the Internet. We are
used to finding everything there so weve stopped remembering a lot of things.
On balance, I can say that our lifestyle hasnt good influence on our memory.
It causes that we forget about many things. We should use our memory more
often. We must develop and train it. We have to store information in our mind. If
we dont do it , it can have bad results.
In my opinion computers are very useful in everyday life but only for
people, who know how to use them. The Internet is a great source of information
and can be helpful for studying, but also it is full of violence and pornography. We
shouldnt relay on computers all the time. We have to remember that sometimes
traditional methods are better than modern ones.
Ten years ago, e-mails were not much accessible to an ordinary man in the
street. Our grandmothers, aunts, even mothers communicated with other people
using letters. Hence, it would be fair to answer the question of whether this new
invention has more pros than cons.
First of all, posting letters electronically is fast. No matter where one is
sending one's message from whether it is from squalid town or from the big city
it takes only seconds or, at most, minutes to send an e-mail.
Secondly, sending messages via the Internet is very simple. The most
difficult thing seems browsing through the offers of thousands of providers both
domestic and foreign trying to outdo one another in accommodating needs of
their clients. Moreover, it is quite easy to store ones e-mails as their size is
relatively small.
Thirdly, electronic mail is cheap. Leaving the Internet connection fee aside,
it basically costs nothing. Unlike telephone calls, the distance does not matter to
e-mail users. Messages sent to London, Tokyo, or to New York are not charged
extra. In addition to this, electronic nature of the messages means that we do not
have to bother buying stamps or envelopes.
On the other hand, using electronic mail deprives one of the pleasure of
opening a drawer and finding the old letter from best friend or family. This is truly
irreplaceable.
What is more, standard letters are more durable owing to the fact that no
blue screen crash is a threat to the place in which they are kept. Besides this,
they are not liable to any Internet connection cuts.
To conclude, e-mail is definitely more convenient than its traditional
counterpart. Not only sending electronic messages is cheaper but also safer as
each text processor is equipped with spell check tool. However, one has to
remember that traditional letters are still in use and certainly give pleasure to the
addressee.
alcohol. Being drunk or hung over during work hours can result in loss of
employment, which can lead to financial problems including the loss of living
quarters. Drinking at inappropriate times, and behavior caused by reduced
judgment, can lead to legal consequences, such as criminal charges for drunk
driving or public disorder, or civil penalties. An alcoholic's behavior and mental
impairment while drunk can profoundly impact surrounding family and friends,
possibly leading to marital conflict and divorce, or contributing to domestic
violence. This can contribute to lasting damage to the emotional development of
the alcoholic's children, even after they reach adulthood. The alcoholic could
suffer from loss of respect from others who may see the problem as self-inflicted
and easily avoided.
Secondly, smoking, primarily of tobacco, is an activity that is practiced by some
1.1 billion people, and up to 1/3 of the adult population. The image of the smoker
can vary considerably, but is very often associated, especially in fiction, with
individuality and aloofness. Even so, smoking of both tobacco and cannabis can
be a social activity which serves as a reinforcement of social structures and is
part of the cultural rituals of many and diverse social and ethnic groups. Many
smokers begin smoking in social settings and the offering and sharing of a
cigarette is often an important rite of initiation or simply a good excuse to start a
conversation with strangers in many settings; in bars, night clubs, at work or on
the street. Lighting a cigarette is often seen as an effective way of avoiding the
appearance of idleness or mere loitering. For adolescents, it can function as a
first step out of childhood or as an act of rebellion against the adult world. Other
than recreational drug use, it can be used to construct identity and a
development of self-image by associating it with personal experiences connected
with smoking. The rise of the modern anti-smoking movement in the late 19th
century did more than create awareness of the hazards of smoking; it provoked
reactions of smokers against what was, and often still is, perceived as an assault
on personal freedom and has created an identity among smokers as rebels or
outcasts.
To sum up, addicts harm themselves and their families.

I think the money is the most important thing at this moment in word.
When we haven't got any money we can't do anything. We can't go to school. We
can't travel. We can't eat. We can't normally life. People saying is the most
important thing is health. Yes, I agree that, but what can I be health, when I
haven't got money for food and pills. Health is important, but we can't be healthy
without
money.
Today when you have money you may have everything. You can be
everyone who you invent. You can buy your education, your position. When the
money get in to the game the rules isn't important. All things are going down in
next plane. You can be the best person to doing some thing or get some place,
but when you haven't got some cash or contacts you are in second plane.
In my live the most important things are fun, grow up and my hobby. I can't
having that fun what I like because I'm limited for a money. I don't have soo much
cash to doing things what I like. My hobby is very expensive, growing up and
having fun are too. When I would to doing what I want to do I must be working 30
hours
day.
When
can
spend
my
money
then.
Money ruled the world. That question is right, but we must don't turn off
for that.
Some experts think that globalization is leading to the negative effects for
example social degeneration. The richer companies can do everything, because
they have a lot of money and dont afraid defeat. That dont give a chance for
small corporation which start their activity. Changing currency is very important
for countries. This is good idea for tourists. But it could stop economic
development and increase in unemployment like in Germany after receiving euro.
I think there are many pros and cons. Globalization depends on many deciding
factors if it gives more negative things it could mean this country doesnt need
any more integration.
Africa is useless until the governments are established that want to help
citizens. Monies might be better spent on political charities which strive for
stable, non-corrupt governments before food and education.
Its really hard to say which charities are most and least deserving. Each of
us has to decide in his own conscience whom he wants to help.
Generation gap.
The generation gap is the inability of both the young and the old to
communicate
with
each
other.
Young
people
find
their
parents
and
lonely.
Teenagers spend most of their time looking for their identity. Their parents,
however, too often hinder this search, making an enormous effort to
impose their own ideas and models on the young. Unfortunately, these
ideas are sometimes controversial, though coming from the bottom of the
heart. Then the target is missed. This often result in playing truant,
drinking,
or
even
taking
dangerous
drugs.
How can this problem be solved? What steps should be taken there?
First of all, children and parents should spend more time together in order
to understand one another better. If it is to be game, then there will be no
winners. A nice, friendly chat will help to explain what they feel and
expect.
Parents should treat their children as partners; not as disobedient, naughty
kids. They should not neglect their children's needs, interests, plans and
expectations. Parents ought to follow the proverb: Actions speak louder
than words"' then children should have respect for the traditions and
customs their parents have always cherished. Young people must express
their own judgement, unless this judgement is an empty show of their
independence. Both the old and the young should remember that a bad
compromise is better than a good lawsuit". The family which creates the
atmosphere of security and understanding guarantees the development of
all
its
members;
mental,
physical,
and
spiritual.
tolerance
and
respect.
