Should we develop alternative energy?

Abstract
The topic of this paper is the fact that we should develop alternative energy because oil is an exhaustible resource. It argues that the scientists should develop alternative energy; also, the government should help our scientists and companies. There are three ways they should do this. The first is that the scientists should develop hydrogen, and the second is that the scientists should develop natural gas vehicles. Finally, the scientists should develop electric power.

Oil and Metro

Abstract:

Metro, the Washington D.C. public transportation system, should act to attract people to use its system. This paper argues for the best ways that Metro should use to encourage people to use its system. First, Metro should extend its capacity. Second, they should develop the Metro services. Third, Metro should make a great schedule for their passengers.

Practical use of Hydrogen energy

Abstract

The topic of this paper is practical use of hydrogen energy for vehicles. It argues that global people should use hydrogen vehicles instead of oil vehicles. Global people are coping with higher oil prices. These are serious problems of costly oil that are internationally at uncomfortable stages, due to increasing demands from economy, and depletion of oil resource. Now people strive for escaping this global crisis; thus, people need another kind of energy such as hydrogen. The hydrogen energy is good instead of oil energy. Global people might get profits from hydrogen energy, which are that hydrogen energy is green energy, that it is enough energy, and that it can be changed into cheap energy. In this paper, I plan on writing about how to help the use of hydrogen vehicles promptly by addressing such as counties, auto companies, and drivers.

Families

The family is considered the nucleus of society. Every member in the family has a different function in the society. According to the number of members in the family, there are large families and small families. Every kind of family has advantages and disadvantages. For example, in the family with one child, the kid will get a better education and will cost less to raise. On the other hand, in the family with more than one child, the old parents will get better care from their kids and they will help their parents with life’s costs. So, I would get four kids to get that care.

Our life after Oil

First of all, the oil exploring decreased in exporters’ countries. Consequently, the oil price jumped to unbelievable levels these days. So, we should be thinking twice about these problems. Moreover, the governments should create another source of energy instead of oil. In fact, if the oil finished from the countries’ fields, we will face a lot of problems, such as transportation problems and industrial problems. Consequently, we will go back to using animals as a method of transportation, and we will face a real problem with factories and machines. So, we will face insufficient food production, we will face technology deficiency, etc. So, the production countries, consumer countries, and the sciences should cogitate to deal with these problems. In other words, they have to create another source instead of oil to produce energy, for example, solar energy, wind energy, and nuclear energy.

Fall semester at CESL

First of all, we appreciate the CESL instructor for their teaching. They give the students all knowledge in fields as much as they can. In addition, they treat their students as friends and brothers. Nevertheless, the teaching at CESL has some defects such as the speaking. In other words, they don’t give their students enough speaking classes. For this reason, many students complain from inability to speak fluently. In addition, we actually suffer from insufficient English partners. Later on, I hope all CESL teachers, members, and students work together to obtain solutions to these problems. Finally, I feel gratitude to all CESL members.

CESL

I enjoyed studying of English in CESL for the last year. I met many nice teachers, familiar classmates, and took delight in knowledge. Most teachers are willing to help students and are concerned for students’ problems. Also, I liked events of CESL and join with them. However, TOEFL gave me endless worry. Maybe other students agree with me. Even if I got a good grade in class, it doesn’t help with the TOEFL. Probably my English skill developed while passing classes but my TOEFL scores didn’t advance each time. It gave me lots of stress and disappointment. I don’t know how to study for TOEFL. I think that CESL should create another way, which can help to study for TOEFL.

Environment

Environment #6

Some small businessmen sell bad food to people and do not treat wastewater in Korea. They just think of money are gold diggers. These people do not consider other people’s health or the environment. Their minds are poor and selfish, because the Korean economy has improved immediately for 55 years, and our education focused on results on my parents’ generation. Korea should educate people in ethical issues more powerfully and establish regulations more strictly in the food industry. America has strict regulations for food and has not heard bad food news on the TV and radio. Koreans should learn these attitudes from Americans and food retailers should serve food as they would serve to their family.

CESL

I have already been America 8 months; 7 of them I spent in CESL. Now, I will graduate from CESL in the near future. I hope to graduate, because I want to study in SIUC as soon as possible, but, I also feel sad to be leaving. So, I think I can leave some advice for CESL. I think we need to increase extracurricular work to improve our English skill and abilities in our spare time. We can study a lot, but we do not have enough chance or environment to use them. Going out of class, contacting the US crowd, and touching the US culture that should make English not only a language, but also a common communication tool; we can understand English, instead of only reciting it. I believe we can improve our English quickly. At that time, we can use all of the knowledge that we study in class to communicate and practice. That should be one of the best ways to examine our learning outcomes and improve our English, rather than quizzes or examinations.

Environment

In my country, most people do not care about the environment. They just throw trash away anywhere. There is very serious air pollution. Also, most people are spitting. The public places are very dirty. However, there are some people who litter on the road; they should pay the fine, but they still do that. When I came to America, I was very surprised about the American environment. However, the most surprising thing to me was that is people use a lot of air-conditioning. Also, in America, people throw trash always on Tuesday.

Ex6

Technology is very useful for our life, but sometimes people abuse it for their reasons. For example, most people rely on the internet to get information, send or receive emails. But some people are abusing the internet. First, sending or receiving violent clips such as bombing clips. Second, watching naked clips, especially naked children or children watching those clips that contain sex. Third, watching bad ideas. For example, some people who don’t like certain religion make small clips that show the religion is bad. So, there are many advantages for using the internet but still some people abuse this technology.

Stop abuse using nuclear technology

Nowadays, people know more about nuclear energy; however, some countries abuse it. They just make the environment become worse and cause more problems. For example, Pakistan has developed nuclear technology, but its main purpose is trying to develop nuclear weapons. This country is full of poor people; it should focus on making people have a better life, not focus on spending money on this kind of technology. Its enemies like India and China, in order to have the same weapons, spend more money on weapons. The problems are coming; they are both poor countries. When government spends money on weapons, who takes care of people? If they use nuclear technology in order to produce more energy to make peoples’ life better, I think it makes more sense and is more reasonable.

CESL

Throughout CESL. I have learned English and CESL has helped to improve my English ability. So I like CESL. but I want to recommend another system because if they correct their weakness, it will be good for many students. First is CESL isn't practical. That is, they are academic. But most CESL students want to learn practical English. And many students are not good at English, so they have a hard time because of English. But CESL's academic system isn't practical so our practical English is improving only slowly. And I recommend that the novel class be fixed. Now novel class is optional class. But through my experience, novel class helped my English, because we read a novel and watch a movie. Through this activity, we could get many dialogues and good sentences. Furthermore after I finished novel class, my reading speed is increased. So for those reasons, if CESL accepts my opinion and then tries to correct their system, English ability of many students will be improved!

CESL

I have studied CESL for 8 months. I think CESL is a good place to study English because teachers are very kind and classmates are friendly. I am so happy that I have lots of friends from all over the world. We have different cultures and different backgrounds, but we meet every day. CESL is like a big family. We have many activities so we can hang out with our friends. There is saying in China: if you meet a friend, you are the lucky dog. I have some advice for CESL. The first one is CESL can organize more activities for traveling, which means we can go to some place that is far from Carbondale. The second one is CESL should give us more TOEFL classes per week. Traveling also improves our knowledge of American culture. I think we should have more TOEFL classes because we come to CESL because we want to improve our English skills and study in the USA. TOEFL is one requirement for countrywe come to a university in the USA. We should do more TOEFL practice. I think many students are the first time to the first time to the USA for the first time so they are too shy to speak English. CESL teachers should give them more encouragement. I think that would be very helpful to CESL.

CESL

The environment issue

In Saudi Arabia, people do not care about the environment very much. I think that happened because of many reasons. First, in Saudi Arabia we do not have a forest or environmental resources. Most of us live in a desert and we do not have this much advice in our schools and homes. In addition, not everybody is interested in what happened outside; they are mostly take care or are interested in the things that they see and touch. However, I was very surprised when I came her, and I saw how much the American people care about the environment and how it is a big issue in their everyday life. Also, I see that their children know a lot about the environment issue. Moreover, I see how much they teach them in the school about the environment.

Environment

Because the dinnerware we use is chopsticks, the people in our country need to cut more trees to produce chopsticks. But it is not good for our environment. Recently, the Taiwan government has advocated that citizens bring their own chopsticks which are not disposable when they go out to have dinner. However, when I had lunch in the student center, I saw many foreign students applying plastic forks and spoons, which surprised me. Because it is a basic part of our environment, it should start from individuals of every country. Also, some countries always say that other countries produce more pollution and they should try to stop using too much energy, but how about themselves? Moreover, I saw many Americans driving big vehicles, which waste a lot of energy and harm the environment. I think it is very contradictory because the American government is always the loudest speaker. They always say that we have to protect the environment. But if we don’t start from our daily lives, how should we save the entire environment?

Environment

Nowadays, people are trying to make a better environment. However, before, people did not care about environment. So, the government decided to make some specific law. For example, when you walk on the streets, you must not spit in the streets. Also, you must not throw your cigarette butt away. Many people have a fine because they do not care about this law. So, when I came out of the army, I was surprised at the clean lines of the city. Thus, this law is very good for the environment. However, American people do not care about the environment. For example, they did not separate trash collection and they have a lot of waste has kets.

Oil

Nowadays, we worry about oil costs because oil has been exhausted. I think that after 40~50 years, oil will be gone because people are using it a lot. And, oil price is going to increase more and more. So, many people will use decreasing amount of oil. Moreover, the world will try to make alternative energy. Also, the biggest differences will be changing of fuel. Oil is going to disappear in the world. So, the world will change to cars such as hydrogen vehicles, natural gas vehicles, solar energy vehicles, etc. People will use alternative energy in the future.

Technology

I think solar is a new technological development that I put my eyes on. Solar is renewable and clean energy. We can get it from sunshine every day, if it's not rainy or foggy. There are many solar cars that are made by some famous car companies. These is too much carbon dioxide in our environment, which causes global warming. It will solve the most serious problem right now. We can use solar energy in our house; we use some windows to absorb the sunshine and use it to warm water. We can use sunshine to create electricity. However, many machines use electricity. We don't need to cut the rain-forest to get to get energy. we can grow many trees to improve our environment.

Ex5

Most people know that the technology improved our life by making it easy. In the past, people had a lot of troubles to move from one place to another. For example, one hundred years ago, people spent more than one day to travel 250 miles but these days, technology helps us to travel like this distance more less than one hour. In my opinion, this technology is still not good enough for long distance. For example, the trip from Riyadh to Carbondale takes al least 30 hours. So, it takes a very long time. The technology that I am looking for is a plane that takes for example one hour from Riyadh to Carbondale. So, imagine that happens, what our life would be. It would be very easy and comfortable for us; and I can visit my family during a weekend.

Music

My favorite song is “Isn’t she lovely”

My favorite singer is Stevie Wonder. He sings many beautiful songs even though he is a blind. My favorite song is “Isn’t she lovely?” which was for his daughter when she was born. He really wanted to see the baby, but he couldn’t see her. He went to doctor and suggested that the doctor open this eyes a moment so he could not open his eyes anymore permanently. After seeing her, he made the song “Isn’t she lovely?”. Many people love this song with the beautiful story.

The Solar energy

Nowadays, people try to use solar energy to save money and protect our environment. People know we need to develop some sustainable energy for our future, so the best choice is solar energy. First of all, we can get it almost every day. We just need to spend money on equipment, and we don’t need to worry about when we will run out of the sun. In addition, it is a clean resource. We can use this kind of energy and not harm our environment at all. No matter what kind of energy, plants will cause environmental problems or damages. We can use this technology as batteries to save power. When we need to use power, we can just use it. People will not worry about running out of energy and we will have fewer wars due to energy.

Transportation

Transportation

Now, there is more and more communication all around the world, and also people want to get to anywhere on the earth. So, the technological development of transportation has become fast and perfect. The improvement and popularization of airplane travel is the most technological breakthrough. People can arrive to many places fast, even though the destination is far away from your home. Also, you can feel very comfortable because of the advanced equipment. The train travel had a big technological improvement as well. People never feel train travel is a boring thing; technology makes trains run fast and construct railways to anywhere. So people can get to most places with short time. For normal lives, technologies on public transportation have constructed a very good transport network, and thus reduced the traffic problems and facilitated people’s trips. So, the technological development of transportation can make people’s lives better and better.

Music

I think Britney Spears' life is interesting. Actually, her life is poor rather than interesting. She became a singer at a young age. And after she produced the song "Baby one more time", she became a world star. But I think that it was the start of he rdesperation. After she became a star, many mass media became interested in her private life, her family,love life and underwear. Their behavior was very serious, and it made her crazy. Many viewers always blamed her for everythibg. even though it was very tiny things. She always lived under stress. And also lots of paparazzi wanted to get her everything. So she was used by them commercially and she became a target of gossip. Finally, she got a boyfriend who was a paparazzi. Many psychology experts said that the fact that Britney became a paparazzi's girlfriend means she gave up herself. Now still, people blame and insult her. But I think she was sacrificed to the media and it made her life poor.

The honeymoon

The honeymoon
The best month in our life is the honeymoon. In other words, it is the first month after marriage; it is considered the happiest month and nobody can forget that month. Most people go to visit other places in this month. I think it is better to visit a place you had already visited before you married to spend your time visiting the nice places and views. So, I will go to Indonesia and Turkey on my honeymoon. There are a lot of beautiful places and museums. So, I can spend good time and enjoy time over there with my wife. In addition, the weather is very nice to relax and breathe pure air, even though it will be expensive. At Last, I hope to get married as soon as possible with my fiancée.

Urbanization VS. Endangered amphibians

I am experienced with endangered amphibians. When I lived in Korea, a company tried to build a new apartment town. It was a problem for the company, because its land was a green-belt area before the building permission. So its large land already had special amphibians. Lots of environmental experts claimed that the company should move to another area instead of the amphibians’ habitat. However, the company possessed the land, so it refused environmental expert’s claim. Thus several civic groups joined the experts and they argued with the company about the amphibians’ survival. After one year, they reached an agreement that the company would make a concession. Half of the land would make a nice conditional park where amphibians and other living things lived. Probably if people go there now, they can see the special amphibians.

Technology

The technology has been upgraded year after year. Also the technology helps people to get to the point that they need to get to on easy way. But the technology has given the people what they want to know. For example, people in the past couldn't call their families when they are far away from them, and they wanted to cal their family so they could make sure everybody was all right. Also, when they sent a letter, it would take a long time to get to their family. The education and the general information which helped people in their study or anything was not like now, because in the past the education was not that good; also it was hard to find information. But now people got what they want to know from the Internet or any of the new technologies by just typing the subject that they want to know about; then it will show the websites of those have that information. Technology change a lot of things for people, not just getting information; it also changed the people's health and kills the people with some of the technologies. how? For example, people in the past liked to walk and not all of them had cars; now the technology has creates a lot of accidents happen at this time. The first cause for the accidents in general is having a car; this is one of the technologies, but now people can't live without a car, so it is going to be hard to not have a car.

Technology

Most people know that the technology has improved our life by making it easy. In the past, people had a lot of troubles to have any surgery or find the specific treatment for specific ills. For example, in the past, when someone's arm was broken, he had to go to the doctor. Then, the doctor checked him by looking at his arm and asking him some questions. After that, the doctor decided whether the arm was broken or not. But these days, doctors have more technology, which leads them to choose the best way such as X-ray and computers to help the patient. In addition, the technology helps us to know more information about the planets and stars.

Technology

Technology
There are many advantages that technology has changed in our way of life. Since we had technology, such as computers, we can communicate with our friends and families at any time anywhere. Also, they make our life more convenient. When we have work or a research paper to do, we can use computers to make our jobs done more easily. Or I can shop online no matter what the weather is. Moreover, another technology is the television which makes our life more fun. We can watch TV with our friends and families and know more about each other’s interests. By watching TV, we can learn more about what happened in this world. However, I think technology has its disadvantages in some ways; for example, it makes our minds and thoughts less-active and makes us lazy. So, we should try not to rely on technology too much.

Music

I was impressed by the Independence Day concert in St. Louis, because it was my first concert in the America. So everything was fresh to me. Actually, when we go to a concert in Korea, we don't dance. But when I went to the St. Louis concert, I saw that many people enjoyed music, danced with their friends and drank beer. It looked so free. So I envied American culture. And this concert was held holiday, so there are many special things. After performance, we could see and enjoy firework; I've never seen fireworks like this, because it was very big and beautiful. So for those reasons, now still, I can't forget that time.

Environment

panda is a special species in China, which has lived on earth for 10 million years. They will disappear if people don't protect them. Panda lives in Sichuang province in south China, because there is a lot of bamboos. People have made a very large zoo for taking care of panda in Sichuang. The panda is likely to disappear because it has a low birth rate; many baby pandas die before they are 1 year old. There are some organizations that people made to help panda. They subscribe to the animal protection society and go to the zoo to help workers feed pandas. The scientists are studying the technology of artificial propagation. They want to improve the birth rate of the panda. The panda which live in the natural are lower than 1000, so there is not enough time for waiting.

Internet Change the World
Nowadays, people can get information very quickly and effectively by the internet. When they want to know something, they can just browse the web to find the information they need. For example, if I want to study abroad or far away from my hometown, I can rely on schools’ official information, students’ information and alumni opinions. I can evaluate the school more correctly without wasting time and money when I go there. The only thing I need to do is check on the internet to see what other people’s opinions are. However, in the past, if people wanted to choose some schools, they cloud only rely on their imagination. Sometimes when students go there, they find out the truth and feel disappointed. Some people like city lifestyle, but if they choose to study in Carbondale, they will feel very bored. In order to avoid this situation, we need to use the internet.

Medical Technology

I think most people do not know about the fact that now we can perform an operation far away with a doctor. Now we have a machine. For example, a patient lives in England, and the doctor lives in America. This doctor must have an operation on this patient now. However, for the doctor to go to England requires need 8 hours. If this patient cannot perform an operation now, he might die. Now we can use that machine to take an operation. It is very convenient. Today, for people to perform an operation is not very hard. The distance is not a problem for an operation.

Music

My favorite singer is BoA. Sshe is from South Korea. I like her, and there are 3 reasons. She is famous not only in Korea but also in all of Asia. Furthermore she is the first Korean singer in Japan. So at first, when we heard the news that she had became ranked first in Japan's music chart, many Koreans felt proud of her. And now still, she has many performances in Asia and she has many fans in various ciuntries. And the second reason is that I like her music style. Her music style is a new thing for Koreans. Her music is mixed Korean and Japanese, so it is very unique. So every time when she comes back, lots of students follow her songs and her dance. The last reason is she always tries to be the best singer. So it is said of her that "she is genius but she has endeavor". If she has a break time, she doesn't take a break. She practices singing and dancing. So now she has better performance than before. So I respect her passion and endeavor. In conclusion, on those grounds, my favorite singer is "BoA".

The best place for a honeymoon.
When I get married, although I have lots of places I want to go for a honeymoon, I think I will take my wife to Europe. Here are some reasons: First of all, Europe has lots of famous places, such as Paris, Rome, London and so on. When I feel bored about one place, I can just take my wife to another place we want to go. We don’t need to spend too much time in the same place every day. In addition, Europe always has beautiful and classical buildings. Most of these buildings have lots of history, so that we can go to see these buildings to make us appreciate what we have now. Finally, we can understand different cultures and broaden our view. Different cities have different characters. We can learn something from different countries, such as learn how to dance a local dance, how to cook exotic foods and so on. In the trip, there are always different things we can meet, especially in Europe. That’s because Europeans still have kept their characters.

The best place for a honeymoon: Greece

There are many wonderful destinations for newlywed couples to choose for a honeymoon. If the couples want to have their own space and no other tourists, they can go to a small island. If they want to have a different experience and memory, they can go to South Africa to go hunting. For me, I would like to go to Greece. There are several reasons to support my ideas. Firstly, when I was a little girl, the first time I saw what Greece looks like was on TV, and at that moment I said “If I get married someday, I’ll definitely go there with my husband”. Secondly, there are many fun places to visit in Greece. The houses in Greece are all white and the sky and the ocean are very blue. During the day, we can go to see historical architecture to learn more about its long history, and when the sun is down, we can walk on the beach. In conclusion, I think Greece is the best honeymoon destination for newlywed couples because the atmosphere of Greece can make their love better and better.

Enviroment

There was a big storm that happened in the south of China, which was never seen before. 60 people died, and the direct economy lost seven billion dollars. It was like a nightmare; people did not have any provisions. Many cities lost their power off because electrical conduits were freezing. However, there was no light at night; people just could buy candles. The road was freezing too, so many cities got hurt, but there were not enough rooms for all patients. Some houses were broken, because the snow was too heavy to stand in the countryside. At the same time, the price of food was going higher and higher, although the Chinese government trid to control it. All Chinese people give their hands to people who underwent that big storm. They raise money for them or joined some organizations as volunteers.

High price oil changes our life.

Our life can be changed after the oil increases. First, food price can be increasing, because modern agriculture grows crops with machines. The machines are impacted by the oil price and the crop price also can be increased. Second our economy can be in recession. People have to spend money to buy gas instead of buying other stuff such as clothes, shoes, and foods outside the house, etc. They do not wan to go out and hang out with their friends, because it requires money in modern life. Finally, people do want to travel out of the country or domestically. When oil price increases, airplane ticket prices are increased. Many people should be scared to go to travel by car that requires gas. All of the goods’ and services’ prices can be increased. However, the salary is not increased because oil price is increasing immediately. The biggest problem is their of poor people, who have a tough life because they are very sensitive to price of the goods. We need solutions to solve the problems for the people and our good life

Technology helps our study.

Technology helps our study.

Technology helps us to study very well and improve our study. We can search knowledge easily and efficiently through the Internet. The portal service companies help us to find information easily. We can save money. When you use the Internet that is free to use total service such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN, etc. You can find information easily. Poor people also get information easily if they can use the Internet. We can save time. Searching on the Internet is very fast to get information if we can learn how to use it. Most people shares knowledge through technology and interact with other people. Current society need smart people and we should know how to get information efficiently that helps us to improve our knowledge.

Families

One couple just having one child is good to slow down the spread of population growth. If you don’t have enough money, you should think about whether you can feed a child. Therefore, the more babies you want to have, the more pressure you will get. If parents just have one child, the child will get better education and whole love from his parents. For example, Chinese parents do everything for their children. They spend their whole life to take care of one child. But this is a big social problem in China. It’s that parents dote on their only child, which makes children is not know any life skills. I think two children are better than one because one person is like a mirror for the other one, which means they can encourage each other to change their bad habits. Furthermore, if you do not have any brother or sister, you will feel lonely. However, if you have a brother, you can play games with him and it will make you happy. I would like to have a older brother because I can play with him. Also he can give me more personal experience about how to become a man.

Disadvantage of having only one child

Our class already talked about which number of children is a perfect number for family. Most students said that they want to have two children in their future. I already have two children so I am happy^^. In my case, two children can make harmony very well. The elder usually helps the younger for example, in reading, cleaning, and playing. Also, they rely on each other during their outside lives, without parents, for example in school or camp. Sometimes they argue for each one’s profit, but it is natural, because they can experience small society with competition. I saw the cases of having only child, which seem not good for them. Then I saw a child who is usually selfish and stubborn. I think that having more children is better than an only child.

Train: the best way for meeting people and enjoying a trip

There are many kinds of transportation you can choose to enjoy a trip and meet people. For me, I would like to take a train to do it. There are several reasons to support my perspectives. First of all, if you want to travel, taking a train can save you a great deal of money. As the price of oil soars, any kind of transportation will cost you a lot. Secondly, it is very safe to take a train, because these days airplane crashes happen a lot. Also if you take a ship to travel, you should be aware of people around you any time, because there might be a thief or a kidnapper nearby. Lastly, if you take a train to travel, you can watch the wonderful view outside the window and at the same time you can have free time to talk with your friends. In conclusion, it’s a good choice to take a train because there are more benefits than the other kinds of transportation.

My family

I do not want an only child because it makes me feel not uncomfortable. However, some people want to live alone. For example, one of my friends is an only child. He always said, “I envy you.” That is because he thought that I have two older sisters, and I do not have to feel alone. However, I usually am lonely, because my sisters do not talk to me a lot, and sometimes they just hang out without me. So, I usually spend time alone in the home. But, when I lived in my house, we could be more peaceful because we had a siblings. These days, I like my sisters because they always think about me. So, I think if you have a sibling, you will be better off than an only child.

Number of Child

Now most families just have one child. In some countries it is because government makes a law, and in some countries women just do not want to bear babies. I think just bearing a baby has good and bad things. The good thing is parents do not feel more stressful. Also, the baby can have all of parents’ love. One child can take away their financial problem. However, one child might be lonely. If one family has two babies, it might be hard for parents, but for children it is good. They can play together, and study how to love other people. Also, they can know about fraternal love. I do not want to have just one child. I want to have a middle size family. I want my children to have sisters and brothers. They can take care of other people.

Back a days

95% of the world population use technology inside and outside their houses. But when we look at some of these countries 20 to 30 yearss ago, didn't even have any of those technologies. They were using the water and the winds to create the electricity and living stuff. Also, most of the people in the past didn't have cars as they do now. Even though the prices were much lower than now people didn't have any of those new technologies. On the other hand, at this time most of the people have their own cars; not only grown people, but also young people have their own cars too. In the past the communicate with other people. Finally, people have to see the world in the past and what it was, so they can appreciatte the good things that they have.

The nuclear family

The nuclear family


With the development of the modern society, families have begun to become more and more small. In my opinion, the nuclear family is a more ideal family than the big family. First, I think the less population, the more duty. People in a small family should think about and finish doing lots of things independently; it is not like the members in a big family where they can share the work of a family. So I think it is a good way that people can practice and improve their abilities as much as possible, and it also is a good way for societies’ development. Second, a small family costs less than a big family. That means people in a small family do not need to do too much work for normal lives. That makes the lives become comfortable and suitable, and people enjoy their lives without the heavy work. The last reason is that a small family can easily become a united group of a society. Members in a small family can know each other clearly, which makes it easier for them to understand everyone’s both outsides and insides. I think a united group will be an excellent element of all the society. So, I agree that a nuclear family will become more important and normal with society’s development, and I also think that one day, small families will prevail instead of big families.

Travel

When the price of oil gets much higher, I think the world will change in many ways. First of all, the way we live will be very inconvenient. For example, we often go to school or go to work by bus, taxi, or drive by ourselves. If the price of oil goes higher, it'll cost us a lot; in the meantime, nowadays economic situations in many families aren't very good. So it makes us have to find another way to save money. Secondly, when the price of oil goes high, it'll waste my time. I think it's all about money. In order too save money, I'll have to walk to school, and it'll take me a lot of time. Lastly, one of the biggest changes for me is I can't go to travel as I want. This is because as the price of oil goes high, the price of a plane ticket goes high, too. Therefore, when the price of oil gets much higher, there will be many disadvantages for me.

Necular family

My ideal family is a small family. Here are some reasons. First of all, I think children can become more independent than in a big family. If they live in big family, they will be taken care of by their relatives very carefully. Children will not learn how to do things and deal with things by themselves. The other reason is they can meet this society earlier. Most small families' children need to work earlier; that's because they can't easily get money from their relatives. If they want to get some thing they want, they need to work. My friend is a good example; she lives with a big family. Sometimes I think she doesn't have ability to do things by herself. In addition, I think she is a little bit spoiled ; she just wants to make everybody follow her rules. Finally but not least, living in a small family can give you more privacy. Imagine when you live with a big family; sometimes when you want to go out hang out with other people, most people will ask where you are going. If you don't want to let your parents know, it will come to your parents' ears eventually. Of course people have different views about living with a big family or small one. I still prefer to have a small one.

Technology

The invention of MP3 player is a landmark of technology. In my parents' generation, many people used radio to listen to music. As time went by, mobile casstte came out; it had defects. First, it is heavy and big, so it is inconvenient to carry out. And second is if we want to listen to music, we should buy a tape, but it is expensive. But an MP3 player removes these defects. It is very light and small, so we can carry it easily and we use this in exercising. And we don't have to buy the artists' album. Sometimes, we want to listen to only one song, so buying an album wastes money for people. But we buy one song on the Internet, and we can listen to music; that is all I want to listen to outside. So for those reasons, MP3 player has many benefits, and it is a different invention in technology from our parents' generation.

My family my heart

I think that the family is the most important thing in the world. They are the people who really care about you. In addition, one of the things that I do not understand about the American people is that they do not really care about their families. They do not have a strong relationship with their families. Also, they do not respect their parents as they are supposed to. When I talk to American people, some of them say that there are people who respect their parents, but when I see how they do respect them, I feel bad, because this is nothing; they just do not say something bad, and visit them twice a year, and this makes me very sad. Because in Saudi Arabia, or among Muslims in general they treat their parents in the most respectful way they can. Also, we should visit them at least every week or every day if we can, we do not say no or anything that will make them sad or angry. We try to do anything that will make them feel happy, because this is what our religion teaches us. They deserve our life; they are the only people who stay awake all night to make sure that we sleep comfortably.

Travel

The oil price becomes higher and higher because resources are very poor. Oil is the first energy right now, so it limits business developing. This is a big problem that is close to us. We drive our car to go to work, go to school and go shopping. We cannot live without cars. Also a car needs to drink oil every day. On the other hand, if the oil price gets much higher, we should pay more money for feeding our car. For example, our income is $500 per month; my car needs 30 gallon per month. The oil price is $4 per gallon, so my oil fee is $120 per month. If the oil price gets higher by $1, I should pay $30 more. It’s a big deal for me. I will think that I should sell my car and buy a bicycle. People same as me may go out by bus or on foot. Driving car is very convenient and fast, so our living steps will become more slow. I will leave my house much earlier; it means I lose 20 minutes for sleeping. It’s also a big problem for me, because I should hold many bags in my hands.
