SECTION 4: NUCLEAR -OTHERS

1 To what extent is nuclear technology a danger to life on Earth?

What are the benefits and risks associated with its use?

\ \comprehensive site\task1-task2.htm

These days, many people are afraid of nuclear technology because

of the dangers associated with its use In my opinion, although it is

true that nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat to life, the use of

nuclear technology for peaceful purposes also carries some serious

risks

Nuclear power stations provide an important source of cheap power

for many industrialized nations and some developing countries

However, there is always the danger of radiation leaking from these

plants Even though safety precautions are taken, there have been

numerous disasters such as the explosion of a nuclear plant in

Russia not long ago

Nuclear technology is even used to help cure some diseases such as

cancer Radiation can be applied to the body to burn away cancerous

cells This is, however, a dangerous procedure, and the application of

radiation is almost always painful and not always successful

The most worrying aspect of nuclear technology, though, is its use for

military purposes Enough atomic bombs have already been built to

completely destroy the planet, and the real danger is that one day

some country will start a war with these weapons Too many

countries now have the technology required to make such bombs,

and there is currently much debate about how to control the situation

In conclusion, nuclear technology certainly has positive uses, but is,

nonetheless, dangerous However, it would have been better if it had

never been used to create nuclear weapons If life on earth is to

continue, all the nuclear nations of the world should agree to disarm

as soon as possible

Who would disagree with the statement “progress is good”? withour

progress, there would be no change Without progress, there would

be no change in our economy, our standard of living, or our health

Progress is required to keep the economy moving forward New

products need to be developed; new services need to be created

Withour progress, our economy would stand still There would be no

change Without progrees, there would be no supermarkets with fresh

produce brought in from all over the world

Progress is required to improve our standard of living Our homes

today are more efficient and use less natural resources thanks to

improvement in home construction techniques Our clothes are

warmer and safer thanks to developments in textile manufacturing

Our educational system is better thanks to the use of the computer

and the internet

Progress is required to improve the health of the world population

Without progress, there would be no vaccine against deadly disease

like smallpox Without progressm there would be increased infant

mortality Thanks to progress our lives are longer and healthier

Progress is a natural state Without it, we would not evolve Without

it, out economy, our standard of living, and our health would

deteriorate Who could deny the neccesity of progress?The 21st

century has begun 1 What changes do you think this new century

will bring? Use examples and details in your answer TOEFL148

Now that we are in a new millenium, we can assume there will be

changes in the world I predict that the changes will be in the areas of

information dissemination global alliances, and family structure

In the past decades, the computer was responsible for changing the

way information was organized Now the computer plus the internet is

changing the way information is spread information will now be

universally available to anyone with a computer You will not have to

go to libraries to do research You will not have to travel to visit

scholars, you will not have to go to a bookstore to buy a book You

can do all of this from your home on the computer

In the past decadesm the nations of the world aligned themselves

with the United states, the former Soviet Uniion, or with one another

in a loose alliance In the future these alliances will be move fluid

Some countries will align politically with one country but economically

with another Some countries will share technology and other

informatio, but will not trade together Some countries, which have

long been enemies, will align militarily for regional security

The family structure will not be based on a mother/father/child patern

Single parent families will be more common and often the child will

bot be a biological child of a single parent, but will be adopted Other

family structures like domestic partnerships will become more

accepted

Whatever the changes may be, whether in the way we receive

information, the way nations align one another, or the way family

units are defined, you can be sure that there will be more change

Change is a constant

6 The twentieth century saw great change In your opinion, what

is one change that should be remembered about the twentieth

century? Use specific reasons and details to explain your

choice TOEFL130

There have been many changes both technological and cultural in the

twentieth century I believe that outstands out above the rest:

advances in medical science The changes in medical science go

together with the chagnes in technological and cultural areas One

can move ahead only with the help of the other We can see the

results of medical advances in three areas: development of vanccines

and antibodies expanded access to health care and improved

surgical techniques
