Nowadays, more people are choosing to socialize online rather than face to face. Is this a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In the nowadays more and more people prefer to socialize in online, rather than the face-to-face communication. I think this is a mostly negative development in general. There are numerus reasons why I believe this way, which I will explore it in the following essay. One of the main reason why I think online socializing is not good it's because it make people more isolated and alone. When you socialize online, you are not meeting people in real life and you can't have a proper conversation with them. You can't see their face expressions or hear their tone of voice which makes it harder to connect with people emotionally. this can lead loneliness and depression, especially for elder peoples who may not have many opportunites to meet people in person. Another big problem with socializing online is that it can be very addictive. Its easy to spent hours scrolling through social media or chatting with friends which can negatively impact on our work and studies. It can also lead to procrastination and decreased productivity which can have a negative effect on our education and goals. Additionaly, too much screen time maybe can cause eye strain and headaches. However, there are alos some benefits to online socializing. It allows us connect with people from all over a world and share ideas and perspectives with them. It can also be a useful tool for people who are shy or introverted and find it difficult to socialize face to face interactions. For exaple, i have a friend named John who is very shy and he find it much easier to express himself online than in person. In conclusion, while there are some benefits to onlinesocializing, I believe it is overall a negative development. It can lead to isloation, adiction and decreased productivity and it cannot replace the valu of face-to-face communication. We should try to limit our time spent socializing online balance it with real-life interactions.

Weather is a topic that affects everyone. What kind of weather is typical in your country? How do people deal with different types of weather? Include specific examples in your response.

The weather it is important thing for most people in country of mine. There are actually many kind of weather happen during year. The summer, it gets hot and most people do not enjoy too much high temperature. But also in winter, it gets colder, and sometime snowing happen. I don't enjoy too much cold as well. Then in between of summer and winter are spring and fall, where is more comfortable temperature for most people of my country. To deal of different weather, we do different things during the year. When it is hot, peoples stay indoors with air conditions or fans blowing. In cold weather of winter, we bundle up with coat, hat and glove when venture outside. Most people also turn up heating inside house and building. Those between seasons of spring and fall, we able to be more relax. Can wear light coat or sweater if cool, but often temperature is nice and can be in short sleeve shirt. My personal prefer is spring because flowers bloom and trees get green again after winter. But fall is good too because leaves turn red yellow. Weather has big impact of life and we adapt in various way depending on season. But most prefer moderate temperature and don't like extreme - too hot or cold is not fun for many!

Write a letter to your local library suggesting something they could do to improve their facility. In your letter include: -a recount of a poor experience you had -what you feel the library should change -why you feel the library needs alteration

Dear Local Library, I am writing to make suggest about how to improve your facility. I am a regular visit to the library for many year, but recently I have bad experience that I want to share with you. Last week, I come to library to borrow some book for my research project. When I arrive, I find that the book I need is not on the shelf. I ask the librarian for help, but she tell me that the book is lost and they do not have any other copies. This is very frustrating for me because I need the book urgently for my project. I think the library should make some change to prevent this kind of situation from happening again. First, the library should have a better system for tracking book and making sure they are not lost. Second, the library should have more copies of popular book so that if one copy is lost, there are still other copies available for people to borrow. I believe that these change are necessary because the library is an important resource for the community. Many people rely on the library for their education and research, and it is important that the library can provide the book and materials that people need. If the library cannot provide these things, it will be difficult for people to complete their work and achieve their goals. In conclusion, I hope that you will consider my suggest and make some change to improve the library. I believe that these change will benefit everyone who uses the library and will help to make it a better resource for the community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]

Dear my friend, I writing to share with you my idea for trip. I want go to Japan for vacation and I hope you come with me! I think it will be amazing experience we can cherish forever. I want to go in spring time, maybe April or May month. The cherry blossoms are so beautiful that time in Japan. We can stay in Tokyo city for 5 days, and visit some famous temples and shrines like Senso-ji temple. Also I want to go to Mount Fuji, it is most famous mountain in Japan and symbol of country. For travel, I think we can take flight from our city to Tokyo. The round trip ticket will maybe cost $800 per person. We can stay in budget hotel to save money, I think $50-$60 per night is good price for us. So total cost for 5 days trip including flight, hotel, and food will be around $1500 per person. In Tokyo, I really want to try authentic Japanese foods like sushi, ramen, and tempura. We can also visit some popular shopping areas like Harajuku and Shibuya to buy souvenirs. And of course, we must go to see cherry blossoms in park, it will be so romantic and beautiful. So, what do you think my friend? I really hope you will join me on this amazing trip to Japan. We can make unforgettable memories together in the land of rising sun. Please let me know soon if you are interested and we can start planning the details! Your friend, [Your Name]

Some people think the manufacturers and shopping malls should sell fewer packaged products while others argue that people have the responsibility to buy products with less packaging. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There are diffrent opinons about who responsible for reducing the waste packaging from product. Some belief that manufacturers and shop should provide less packaged producs, but others feel that the responsibility lie with the consumers themself. I think that both views got some merit and discuss below. On one hand, manufactures and malls have the abilities to make changes in the how they packaging. They could use meterials which are Eco-friendly biodegradeable and less harmfull to the enviroment. By reducing the packaging, they are reducing wastage which good for the planet. Also, the cost savings from using less packaging could be passed to consumers. So the companies an malls have an important role to play. On the other hand, cunsumers also have a say in how much packaging they want. People can be more careful on checking How products are packaged before buying and chose to buy those with less packaging whenever possible. For example, we can choose unwrapped fruits an veggies in the supermarket instead of ones that pre-packaged in plastic trays. By doing this, we send a signal too manufacturers that there are demand for products with mimimal packaging. Over time, the market will adapt accordingly too meet the wants of consumers. In canclusion, I feel that the responsibility to reduce packaging waste lies with both manufacturers and consumers. The malls can take steps reduce its packaging, but it is also up to us as consumers to act responsibly and reward environmentally conscious companies with our buying power. If everybody does their part, we will be one step closer towards a greener world.

Firstly, a student nurse can join volunteer program to help people in need in other countries where people are suffering from poor health conditions. For example, they can go to developing countries in Africa or Asia and help local people by providing basic healthcare services like vaccination, health education, and treating common illness. This is a good way to make a direct impact on improving global health. Secondly, student nurses can also participate in research projects that focus in global health issues. For instance, they can help collect data or do literature review on topics like infectious diseases, nutrition, or maternal and child health in different parts of the world. By contributing to research, student nurses can help to generate new knowledge and evidence that can be used to inform policy and practice in global health. Thirdly, student nurses can also advocate raising awareness about global health issues among their peers and in their communities. They can organize events or campaigns to educate people about the importance of global health and encourage them to take actions. For example, they can organize fundraising events to support global health charities or petition government to increase funding for global health initiatives. In conclusion, there are many ways for student nurses to make contribution to global health, such as volunteering, participating in research, and advocate awareness raising.

The line graph is showing oil production and consumption of China from 1982 to 2006. It can be clearly seen that both the production and consumption of oil had increased steadly over the period shown. In 1982, the production of oil in China was around 2 million barrels per day and the consumption was slightly lower than production at around 1.8 million barrels per day. Over the following years, both the prodution and consumption increased gradually until 1996 when the consumption of oil overtook the production for the first time at around 4.5 million barrels per day. From 1996 onwards, the consumption of oil continued to rise at a faster rate than production, reaching a peak of approximately 7 million barrels per day in 2006. In contrast, the production of oil increased at a slower rate during this period and stood at around 3.8 million barrels per day in 2006. In conclusion, the graph shows that while both oil production and consumption increased in China between 1982 and 2006, consumption grew at a much faster rate than production, particularly after 1996. This suggests that China became increasingly dependent on oil imports to meet its growing energy needs during this period.

Nowadays many schools find it profitable to sell unhealthy food. Is this a positive or negative development? Give examples.

In these days, many schools is starting to sell unhealthy foods and drinks, because it is more profit for them. I am strongly believing that this is negative development. In this essay i will discuss why i am thinking so, and provide some examples to illustrate my point. First of all, when school is selling unhealthy food, it is encourage students to eat unhealthy diet. For example, if school cafeteria is full of chips, soda, and candy, then students will be tempting to buy and eat these items instead of healthier options like fruits and vegetables. This can lead to obesity and other health issues in long-term. Secondly, schools have responsibility to promote healthy lifestyle to their students. By selling unhealthy food, they are send wrong message that it is okay to eat junk food regularly. Students are spending large portion of their day at school, so the food available there will have big impact on their overall diet and health. School should be setting good example by offering nutritious meals and snacks. In conclusion, i strongly believe that schools selling unhealthy food is negative trend. It can lead to poor dietary habits and health problems for students, and schools should be promoting healthy lifestyle instead. I am hoping that more schools will start to prioritize the well-being of their students over profits in future.

Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by the teachers, whereas others argue that homework plays an important role in the education of children. Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, there are differents opinions about homework for childrens in school. Some peoples think that teachers should not give homework to students, but other people believe homework is very importance for education of children. In this essay i will discuss both view and give my opinion. On the one hand, many person argue that homeworks is not necessary for school childrens. They say that students already spend many hour in school every day, so they need time to relax and play at home. Also, some parents think that too much homework can make children stress and unhappy. They believe that children should have more free times to enjoy their childhood and develop their hobbies and interests. On the other hand, there are several reasons why homework is important for the education of school children. Firstly, homework helps students to practice and review what they have learned in class. It gives them extra time to understand the subject and remember the informations. Secondly, homework teaches children to be responsible and manage their time well. They learn to plan their study schedule and complete their tasks on time. Finally, homework allows parents to be involved in their child's education. They can see what their child is learning in school and help them with any difficulties. In conclusion, while there are some benefits to not giving homework to school children, i believe that homework plays a crucial role in their education. It helps them to consolidate their learning, develops important life skills, and involves parents in their academic progress. Therefore, i think that teachers should continue to give appropriate and reasonable amounts of homework to their students.

Many people nowadays travel abroad for their university education. Why? Would you consider this for yourself?

Many peeple in this days travel to other country for study at university. This happning more often than before. There is few reason for it I think. First, to have beter educashun from top univercity. Second is to explore world and have expirence living in other place. The first thing, many student want go to famus university in other country becose they think it mean they more inteligent and can have good job after gradute. Like Harvard or Oxford. Some country have beter educashun sistem than other place. So student want to go there to have best oportunity for future job. Other reeson is many student want see other country and have adventur living in new place on they own. This give them new expirence and help them grow as person I think. They can meet new frends from all over world and lern about other cultur. This is valuble expirence for life. For me, I wood consider study in other country if I have oportunity. I think it wood be good way to chalenj myself and lern new things. But it also depend on situashun. Like if I have enuff money or if my family is ok with it. Overal, I think it is good thing for peeple to study in other country if they want to and can.

Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

In last years, world become more similar because products have same in all countries. It happen because globalization make world small and peoples can buy what they want in every country. I think this is positive development for many reasons. First, when people buy same products everywhere, quality of life increse. For example, if I travel to other country and I can find my favorite food or clothes, I feel more like home. Also, if products are same, they have same quality, so people in poor countries can access to good products too. This help to make world more fair. Second, similar products in all world help economy. Companies can sell products in more countries and this make them grow. If they grow, they can give more works to people. Also, if there are same products, countries can commerce between them easier. This is good for global economy. In conclusion, I believe that countries more similar because same products is positive development. It improve quality of life of people and help economy. Goverments should make laws for help this process, like low taxes for foreign products. Only with globalization we can make world better place.
