Land is a valuable resource, and it is important to use it effectively I think it would be most

effective to create something that all people can enjoy I therefore propose to use the land to build

a campground At the present time, there is little low-cost recreation in the area where I live Building a campground would change that Ultimately a campground would make a more

enjoyable environment for everyone

Local entertainment is simply too expensive A nice evening out can cost as much as one hundred dollars Even movies and other less expensive types of entertainment are no longer cheap

Further, there are no real recreational facilities nearby There are no parks within 30 miles There are very few basketball courts, and most of those are in poor condition

Building a campground could change all that Staying overnight at a campground is very

inexpensive It can cost as little as thirty dollars Further, there would be a sports area and picnic tables for use by campers and also those who do not wish to stay overnight A campground would provide a lot of activities for very little money That would definitely improve this area

The result of building a campground will be that many more people will be able to afford an

enjoyable evening out A campground also promotes healthy living People can get out and

breathe fresh air They can walk and hike and play basketball or other sports That is certainly better than spending an evening sitting down, eating buttery popcorn in a movie theatre

A campground will make the area beautiful as well as functional We have many wonderful

natural resources, but we need to cultivate them In addition to all the other good things it can bring, building a campground will help us do just that

Television has increased the speed at which news travels and it can bring situations and images into our homes that previous generations would not have had the opportunity or regret to witness

Television is commonly criticized as being bad for children that an important fact sometimes gets overlooked In my personal opinion some types of television viewing may actually enhance

children's intellectual development

Television contains an enormous variety of forms and content The effects of television viewing depend on program content and genre According to a research, young children who spent a few hours a week watching educational programs such as Sesame Street, Mister Rogers'

Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow, Captain Kangaroo, Mr Wizard's World and 3-2-1 Contact had higher academic test scores 3 years later than those who didn't watch educational programs On the other hand, children who watched many hours of entertainment programs and cartoons had lower test scores than those who watched fewer hours of such programs.Good educational

programs can provide lasting benefits to children

Children are most likely to become actively engaged with television content that is neither too easy nor too difficult to comprehend, that is, content that provides some challenges, but also

allows a child to gain a sense of mastery Just like our muscles, the brain gets stronger when it is used, and atrophies when it isn't used It seems that lack of use also leaves it vulnerable to

degeneration later in life

Of course, there are some bad sides for children to watch TV Our TV-watching children

increasingly view life as an entertainment extravaganza, in which they yearn to play a starring role, and here the nasty content of so much modern broadcasting comes into play Besides, it is hard to watch an evening of TV without encountering unspeakable violence, whose perpetrators are celebrated Again, the effects of television viewing depend on program content and genre, and parents should teach their children on choosing the right TV program to watch

In the United States there are many important animals They help us in a wide range of ways from food production to scientific research An animal that is not only helpful to us but close to us emotionally is the dog That is why I feel that dogs are the most important animal in my country

Dogs provide a very important chance to learn or maintain social skills Children who have dogs learn responsibility white caring for them Dogs also help older people: The elderly often feel lonely as they get older and have fewer living friends and relatives They are able to maintain a positive outlook and to feel needed because they are caring for a dog that needs them

In addition to social benefits, dogs also provide some very important assistance Seeing-eye dogs help the blind live fulfilling, fully mobile lives Dogs that act as shepherds on small farms are also very helpful Lost animals mean lost money for farmers, and that can mean going out of business Police dogs help find illegal drugs, catch criminals, and protect their handlers Dogs' intelligence and desire to please people made them ideal for all kinds of work

Finally, dogs can save lives Dogs have been known to find lost children In extremely cold

conditions, they have provided them with life-saving warmth Dogs have alerted people to fires and other dangers And we cannot forget guard dogs, which save many owners' lives and property each year by scaring off potential burglars

Again, there are many useful animals in the United States In terms of the numerous ways in

which they can be helpful, however, I believe the dog is the most significant

Before I answer this question, I feel that I should introduce myself I come from China, so I think that the pig should be the most important animal in our country because this animal plays a very significant action in our daily life

Needless to say, the pig is one of the most important meat foods Everyday, we eat it from its head

to its feet All parts of a pig are edible We can use its different parts to cook all kinds of delicious food In China, there are eight kinds of dish party Every kind is closely associated with the pork

The second, the pig is also a kind of important industrial material We can use the pig skin to make all sorts of shoes, wallets and other leather goods In addition, its feather can be used to make brushs

The last reason is that raising pig is one of the important income sources of farmers If you have a chance to China, you can find that almost every farmer family raises several pigs Many farmers

very wealthy through raising pig

After understandind the reasoning above, I think that nobody should doubt my answer about this question The pig is really the most important animal in our country

Many natural resources are disappearing or being wasted on our planet every day One of the most important resources we are abusing is our trees Each year, hundreds of thousands of acres

of trees disappear in countries all around the world In some countries, these trees are used for fuel In other countries, trees are destroyed to build housing developments and shopping centers Saving trees has become a major cultural and economic issue in many areas of the world

Trees are essential to our survival They are a major part of the process of photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use carbon dioxide to produce oxygen, and oxygen is something all of us need The fewer trees there are, the more this affects our ability to breathe

Trees are also important in the development of many medicines The mainstream medical

establishment did not recognize this for many years However, those who use natural medicines have always known how important trees are Now scientists are agreeing with them Many drugs come from the leaves of certain trees, along with other herbs and plants

In rural areas, farmers have always known how important trees are to soil conservation This is why you'll usually see trees lining a field Tree roots help keep the soil in place, and are also a factor in water distribution deep beneath the ground

Finally, we should save trees from disappearing because they provide so much pleasure "I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree," wrote a poet That is the truth A tall, stately tree

is beautiful to look at, and pleasing to the soul It is also a great place to find shade on a hot

summer's day For practical and emotional reasons, we need to preserve our planet's trees

Zoos are often controversial because many people believe they are unnecessary or even harmful

If properly managed, I feel that zoos have a lot of value In fact, I believe zoos are useful in two main ways: educating the general public and advancing scientific research

Zoos can be wonderfully educational places They provide a safe, controlled environment to learn about a specific species Children can feel safe exploring the world of the chimpanzee there, and adults can learn about and see types of birds they've never seen before Unlike in the wild, there's

no worry of being physically harmed by an animal

Zoos are also important for the research opportunities they provide Research is safer and easier

to conduct than in the wild Scientists can feel secure in the confined area of the zoo For

example, while conducting a medical experiment in an open field, scientists have to worry about both the animal they are working with, and also other animals nearby In zoos, however, they need only worry about the research subject

In the wilderness, animals are also much harder to track and monitor Zoos make research less time-consuming and expensive Long term follow-ups are easier too, since even with monitors, wild animals often are killed or disappear In zoos, researchers can observe an animal's entire life span

Overall, I feel that properly managed zoos provide excellent opportunities for education and

research, and are therefore very useful

Children like to go to the zoo on holidays They find it interesting to watch monkeys or bears doing funny things But how many adults go to the zoo not for children's sake? I think few

Because we finally find that a zoo has no really useful purpose and it's not a truly fun place for us

When a person breaks the law, he will be thrown into prison But the animals in the zoo have done nothing to deserve being locked in a small cage No plants, no water, just brick walls and floors Every animal is in the same environment and can do no other things except for wandering around

in the little space Do you think that's what an animal should look like? And after visiting such a living place of animals as a zoo, no one would ever be left a nice impression of beauty and

harmony of the nature that the zoo tries to demonstrate

In addition, going to the zoo is not a good chance for educating children Childrn see animals being tamed and locked, just for people to watch and have fun with That will give the wrong impression to them that animals are ought to be like that In such an artificial circumstance, they don't realize that animals and people are friends and they are just as important in the ecological system as we are

The last but not the least, animals in the zoo are often treated badly by the visitors People like to feed them with whatever they bring with them: hamburgers, popcorns, or even paper Animals are not able to distinguish which food is bad for them and thus they eat too much unfitable food It is very harmful to their health

So I don't see any useful purpose to build up a zoo in a city just for people's entertainment, but to sacrifice the animals' health and freedom And it does no good to teach our children to have

animals as our best friends

Every city has one or more zoos There is no denying the fact that whether a zoo is useful or not is

a popular topic which has caused heated debate over a long period of time Some people think that establishing a zoo of course has its advantages, while others think it makes no sense And for

a while, people think that a zoo is no useful purpose As far as I am concerned, I disagree with this opinion There are no less than three reasons to disagree with the opinion as rendered below

One chief reason, which can be seen by every person, is that children can obtain direct knowledge about a variety of animals They can see what tigers like, hear various sounds of birds and differ one animal from another If there is no such a place, how can they make direct impression of animals They may never have a chance to see various animals even though they learn many from

A further reason why I disagree the statement is that most of us live in cities and have many things

to do We must work for living and learn for obtaining a better job Everyday we live with a rapid pace and we want to relax A zoo of course is a good place for us to have a relaxation There are

so many lovely animals and so beautiful environment in which we can learn more things about animals as well as relax ourselves

Finally, to be frank, there is also a more personal reason why I think a zoo is useful When I was a little girl, I liked animals very much, especially birds But I could not feed them for myself, so the zoo which was located near my home was the place I went to most frequent And I really love these places

Based on what has been discussed above, I may safely arrive at the conclusion that a zoo has its useful purpose

Not allowing smoking in public places and office buildings is a very good rule I believe this for several reasons Not only will banning smoking improve people's health, it will also increase

worker productivity and reduce conflicts

We all know smoking is not healthy Unfortunately, when smokers are able to smoke in public buildings, they can make other people sick They may work with people who are allergic to

smoking, for example In that case, the non-smokers have no choice unless they want to quit their jobs They can only get sicker, which is unfair Of course, banning smoking in public buildings and offices will please non-smokers It will also improve the smokers' health They will have fewer opportunities to smoke, so they will smoke fewer cigarettes

Banning smoking in office buildings can also increase worker productivity Smokers won't

interrupt their work all the time to smoke There will also be fewer worker absences When

smokers cut down the number of cigarettes, they will get fewer smoking-related illnesses

Finally, it is a good idea to ban smoking in public places and office buildings because a ban can reduce conflicts Non-smokers tend to get annoyed and jealous because smokers have an excuse

to take frequent breaks The most significant conflict, however, is over whether smokers have a right to smoke in public As we have already seen, non-smokers feel they are not always given a choice If smoking in public is allowed, they will be forced to breathe harmful air This may

violate their rights, and nonsmokers are angry with smokers because of it

It seems clear that banning smoking in public places and office buildings is a good idea It will reduce conflict and increase productivity It will also benefit the health of smokers and

nonsmokers alike I believe that just about anything that improves our health is a good idea!

Plants can be considered the support of the life on Earth, due to their main feature: they are

continuously providing oxygen because of photosynthesis process Moreover, most plants are useful to people in many other different ways

In my country, Romania (located in South-Eastern Europe), we consider wheat the most

important plant

During centuries, our ancestors had to fight numerous invaders in order to protect our most

precious wealth: wheat Until World War II, Romania had been considered the most important wheat producer of the entire continent Unfortunately, after the war, my country was invaded by Soviet troops, having a sole purpose: stealing They stole everything they found: money, jewelry, cars, industrial equipment and, last but not least, food During that period, wheat flour was

considered the most precious asset a person could own

After the 60's, the situation returned to normal Regrettably, however, wheat paddocks were

considered a source for obtaining merchandise to be sold abroad, in return for foreign currency meant to fulfill Ceausescu's insane plans for "the new communist era" Dozens of trains full of wheat berries crossed our borders, while Romanian people were starving, fighting for a loaf of wheat bread

After the collapse of communism, everybody believed that things would return to normal

However, another problem occurred Irresponsible people stole most irrigation equipments

(pumps, pipes), so wheat production has been continuously decreasing

At present, wheat is still considered a precious gift of nature given to our people Thousands of people working in agriculture are treating this plant as the most important thing in their lives

I hope that, sometime, all my nationals will give wheat the importance it deserves

Chiquita, the name brand that most people see here in North America when they go get some bananas at the supermarket, is the mark for all the bananas produced at the Chiriqui Land Co What not so many people know is that those bananas are from my country, Panama, where the plantation of this fruit means a very important income into our economy

The production of bananas in Panama is one of the most important in the country Since the

beginning of the last century, native Indians from Panama have worked in the plantation of

bananas Thus, it means this has been a way to bring some income to all these homes and to the national economy, too

The plantation of bananas means millions and millions of dollars to our economy every year The bananas are not only for the local consumers, but also to be exported The exportation of bananas not only to The United States but to many other countries is a source of money to our internal economy Therefore, it means more school, hospitals and other benefits for the local population The quality of the banana plants and their product are excellent Quality control is very

demanding and meets the excellence of ISO 900 The banana plant is protected with a special plastic that covers the whole plant from all kind of insects and other animals The bananas are washed and packed in boxes, where they keep the fresh and delicious smell and taste to be

exported later on

For the quality, excellence and delicious sweet flavor that only the bananas have, is what makes it the most important plant in my country and which means millions of dollars every year into our
