Internet- a blessing in disciuse?
Some people believe that internet has a positive impact on each
other because Internet is a modern way of getting in touch with rest
of the world.
Internet works so fast and never stops , who help us to be online all
the time.
It helps exchanging ideas with other people.Online chatting allows
individuals to communicate with each other globaly and these
instant chat programs have helped bringing families and friends
together . Its faster and more reliable than the other ways of
communication and above of all its even cheaper. Although the
Internet has many positive side , it has and negative side ,which
have contributed more to all persons,especially teens. They spend
they free time online and forget to have fun with family member and
their friends. Many students are becoming addicted to the Internet.
They spend more and more time on playing computer games,
staying on facebook, twitter, instagram or just surfing the net
without any particular reason. They also know that the Internet is
everything and we have to stand there all the time.
Its clear that internet has serious detrimental effects on each other
and I think that is a serious problem in our life ,day after day.

Dear Sara!

Its so cold outside! As you know, last Sunday it is a special day for
the people of my country. Was New Years Eve, a day of celebrations
full of emotions and colorful.
The city was filled with people. We had so much fun and everything
was in a perfect way. All the houses were covered with lights and
each house had a big tree with a shining star above. Each house
smells good. Everyone had prepared the traditional dinner with a
turkey, patatoes, different salads and with the famous dessert called
Bakllava.
First,we had dinner in my house with all our uncles and aunts.Uncle
Claudio and his fience brought us a lot of presents.Now I have a new
T-shirt which I am un love with it.
We eat a lot of delicious foods.My mother had cooked rice and
roast.We drinked a lot of beer and red/white wine.
After that we went to a club where we danced all night long.It was
really amazing.The best time of the year.
I really hope youll be with us next year.It will be the best time of
your life.

Essay
Environment pollution

Environmental pollution is one of the biggest problems the world

faces today. It is an issue that troubles us economically, physically
and everyday of our lives. Air pollution occurs when wastes dirty
the air. People produce most of the wastes that cause air pollution.
Such wastes can be in the form of gases or particulates. These
substances result chiefly from burning fuel to power motor vehicles
and to heat buildings. Industrial processes and the burning of
garbage also contribute to air pollution. Natural pollutants include
dust, pollen, soil particles, and naturally occurring gases.Water
pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems. It
occurs when water is contaminated by such substances as human
and other animal wastes, toxic, chemicals, metals, and oils. Pollution
can affect rain, rivers, lakes, oceans, and the water beneath the
surface of the earth. The contamination of the environment is also
being linked to some of the diseases that are around currently. Yet,
most people do not know about this problem. This shows that
environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly worse problem
that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible, not only for the
good of the environment but also for the people that live in it. Many
factors are present for why environmental pollution has become
such a large issue in the world. However, if the people of the world
were to address the issue it would definitely help both the
environment and it's people. There are many activities that can be
done by both the common citizen to the governments of the world,
which could severally improve the world's environmental problem.
On the other hand, if the current way the world's environmental
problem is being handled continues, catastrophic consequences can
follow for the future population.

Technology on our side ...

In today's world, technology is constantly changing from a new

paperclip to an improvement in hospital machinery. Technology lets
people improve the way they live so that they can preserve their
own personal energy and focus on the really important factors in
life. Technology is significant in everyone's life because it rapidly
changes what is in the market. But, some new innovations of
technology are ridiculous because they serve no purpose in helping
mankind. Almost everyone believes that technology has made life
easier and more comfortable and that it has enabled us to perform
tasks that we could not do otherwise. A list of the benefits of
technology would be very long indeed. However, as with almost
everything we human beings have created, technology has a down
side. There is, we might say, a dark side to technology.
Technology does not necessarily make life simpler, rather, it tends
to make life more complicated. The purpose of every technological
invention is to benefit the lives of mankind; thus re-enforcing the
positive connotation of technology. However, in long term it may not
be beneficial; such as, education, work and leisure are all becoming
dependent on technology. Education, work and leisure are all
progressively becoming dependent on being able to interact with
technology. In society today, technology is appreciated and
considered to be a valuable addition to civilization. It affects the life
of almost every citizen of an industrialised nation and it is evident
that modern society has come out to be absolutely reliant on
technology.
