nanoseconds You can type in a few key words in your search

engine, and the engine will search the entire WWW to find

research is done for you instantly on the Web

When we see photographs of starving children, it’s hard to say that

we should spend billions of dollars on space exploration But that’s

just what we should do Children don’t need to be starving, but we do

need to explore space Right now, we have enough meny to feed

every person on

Earth Children are starving because of mismanagement of resources

and simple human greed Those are problems we can solve right

here on earth That shouldn’t stop our need to find out what’s beyond

our own solar system

We may never make contact with whatever other species there may

be out there in space Even so, there are still two very practical and

positive consequences of space exploration One is certainty and the

other is a possibility The certainty is medical research Yes, we can

conduct research here on earth But much of the research done in

space, for example, on the effects of gravity on bone marrow, is

making a difference in medicine here on Earth When we do research

in space, we also learn more about space exploration Also, many of

the inventions that were developed for space travel have been

adapted to good use on Earth

The possible consequence of space exploration is finding another

planet human beings can colonize Overpopulation is a huge problem

on our planet People are living longer, more healthful lives, and

that’s a good thing But it means there are fewer people dying and

more people being born Eventually we’ll have less space, fewer

people resources and major distribution problems If we can find

another planet to live on, we can relieve the problems of

overpopulation on our planet

It’s a tragedy that there are human beings suffering on Earth

However, if we wait until everyone has a perfect life, we will never

explore space – and that, too, would be a kind of tragedy

13 ''Telecommuting'' refers to workers doing their jobs from home for part of each week and communicating with their office using computer technology Telecommuting is growing in many countries and is expected to be common for most office workers

in the coming decades How do you think society will be affected

by the growth of telecommuting? Telecomunication

Developing telecommunications affect our society in many ways in

areas such as education, commerce and entertainment In this essay,

I will explain why telecommunications have had a huge impact on our

education

To start with, let’s start at the advantages of telecommunications The

Internet is a consequence of telecommunications and part of our

lives We can see the Internet all around us, such as in companies,

universities and schools We can search for everything we want to

know from the Internet, because the Internet is the biggest library on

earth

Moreover, nowadays some Masters’ subjects can be studied via the

Internet or television This is called distance-education Therefore,

telecommunications make education convenient for students For

example, Monash University offers Master of Business Systems for

distance education to many students in Asian countries The students

do not need to come to Melbourne They can save a lot of money

However, there are many disadvantages from the use of

telecommunications Firstly, a computer is very expensive It costs

$1,500 at least Not all students can buy computer

Secondly, people will lack human communication In the future,

people will only sit in front of a screen and communicate via the

Internet, so they will lose their sense of community

Moreover, physical conditions, such as eye diseases and back pain,

result from watching a screen for too long Some programmers have

problems with their eyes and sometimes they have headaches

In conclusion, although we can gain comfort from

telecommunications, we may lose much more than that

Disadvantages include expenditure, physical problems and the loss

of human communication In my opinion, we should use

telecommunications properly and realize that telecommunications are

just a tool for education
