Thousands of people working in agriculture are treating this plant as the most important thing in their lives.. First of all, the wheat is the staple for most of the people of my country

Trang 1

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

economy

Hundreds of thousands of plans grow in my country because of its good climate and geographic position And it is not surprising that my county is well known all over the Europe with its

delicious and natural raised fruits and vegetables, such as peaches, apples, and potatoes

Moreover, people of my country enjoy having many herbs and spices which help them in cooking However, in my opinion, the most important plan in my country is the wheat In is not only

because the grain production is the most famous and developed agriculture branch but also

because the wheat is the connected with our eating habits, our culture and our distinction as a nation

First of all, the wheat is the staple for most of the people of my country There are a lot of places

on territory of my country with good climate and soil where wheat and other grain products can grow abundantly, so people choose wheat as their staple food People eat bread and other bakery products on every meal they have Indeed, almost each person gets for breakfast sandwich,

pancakes or the famous baked rolls called "baniza" Moreover, nobody can imagine to have his lunch without slice of bread or small polled breads And for dinner he got bread or other bakery products again on side to his home made meal

Second, the wheat bread is the traditional meal of my county In fact, wheat bread or wheat beens are always on celebrations and big events There is no wedding without a big round bread for the bride and groom, christening without bread with fortune pieces inside, or funeral without cooked wheaten beens Moreover, even in history books is written that when the R army liberated our country at the nineteen centuries, people meet soldiers with wheat bread and salt Even now, on some big meetings when many relatives get together, there is bread in front of the door of the host, and everybody has to chop a piece of the read and eat it to show respect to the gathering and people of the family tree

In conclusion, wheat is symbol of our nation It is important for people of my country not only because it is their staple food but also because it is in their culture Wheat is always and will

always be a part of our nationality

The coconut tree is a very important plant in my country Coconut tree plantations are important sources of revenue, food and shelter

Our country earns a lot of money from the export of coconut tree products like copra, coconuts, coconut oil, and coconut milk This has been the main source of our foreign exchange for over a century In fact, many of the coconut plantations were planted by various colonial powers and now, since independence, are run by our own citizens

We not only export the food products of the coconut tree, we eat them ourselves too The coco is the basis of much of our national cuisine- We are famous for our curries made rich by coconut milk We also use the oil to fry our foods as well as to add shine to our skin and hair

The fronds of the coconut tree are also used to cover the walls and roofs of temporary shelters

Trang 3

The breezes pass through the fronds and cool the interior, but the heavy rains, which fall daily, do not enter

The coconut tree is a very versatile and useful plant It is a tree that has served our country well

Plants are vital to the survival of all life on Earth plants transform the light of the sun into energy that is usable to other life on Earth Without plants, animals would not be able to use the energy of the Sun that reaches the Earth The removal of one plant from the ecosystem can cause many unforeseen changes, sometimes irreversibly damaging an ecosystem However, some plants are more important than others, either for biological or cultural reasons In my country, Korea, I

would say that the grass that produces rice has come to be the most important plant, not just

because rice is a staple food, but also for other cultural reasons

Virtually every Korean eats rice at least twice a day I, for example, had rice at breakfast, lunch, and dinner yesterday For most Koreans, rice is an integral part of a meal, as expected in a meal as ink is to a pen or wheels are to a car a meal without rice is not a meal In fact, if I have dinner with my American friends and do not eat rice, I actually feel hungry even if I have filled myself with potatoes or other food while eating with them Many of my friends have made similar

comments to me So, I believe that rice is as much a part of our daily lives as work or talking on the telephone is

However, rice is much more than just a staple food to most Koreans it represents the very

sustenance of much of our culture Our history teachers tell us that the development of rice as an agricultural product was largely responsible for the advancement of Korean culture since rice was portable and had a long storage time, people had more freedom to move and were less

susceptible to changes in the weather In many ways, rice has come to be considered the perfect food, so ingrained is it in the minds of many Koreans, and many Asians for that matter, as food that we often say "have you had your rice" instead of saying " have you had your meal " In fact, I have made this translation error many times while I have been in the United States I have wanted

to ask my American friends whether they have eaten, and I ask, "Have you eaten your rice?" Naturally, they often respond "no, " leading to much miscommunication For me, then, rice is more than just food it is the very sustenance of most Koreans

In short, rice is by far the most important plant in Korea Were it removed from Korean society, Korea would change drastically, perhaps even have a famine much like the Irish Potato Famine of the 1800's Rice is the very lifeblood of Korea

If I could visit any foreign country, I'd like to visit Ireland The scenery there is so beautiful

Ireland has a lot of rain and that makes everything very green and lush It hasn't become a

completely industrialized country yet, so there are still areas where the countryside is unspoiled by pollution Often, you can drive for miles without seeing another car or coming to a big city I'd like

to take my set of paints and several canvases and try to capture some of the scenes there It seems every way you turn, you're looking at beautiful scenery The area near the ocean is especially dramatic, with giant dark cliffs rising out of the water

I also think I'd enjoy the slower pace of Ireland It's so different from the busy pace of my

country Of course, Ireland's big cities are just as hectic as any big city anywhere But many of the Irish live in smaller towns or on farms in rural areas Visiting these places is very restful People don't feel the need to stick to a schedule Things get done, but in a much more relaxed fashion In

my country, there's the feeling that you're always late for something In Ireland, it feels like you 're never late because no one stays on schedule

Most of all, it would be interesting for me to meet the cousins in my mother's family They live in Donegal I could see the house where my grandmother grew up and where my cousins still live This house is connected to a lighthouse Visiting there would give me a clearer idea of what my grandmother's childhood was like

Ireland would be a refreshing break from the life I lead in my own country I wish I could go

there

The answer of this statement depends on your own experience and life style In my point of view, visiting China is as necessary as, if not more necessary than, visiting any other foreign country So

it is sagacious to visit China There are numerous reason why I chose to visit China, and I would explore only a few of the most important ones here

Certainly no other reason in my decision is more crucial than the one as bellow China is the

mother of more than a billion people, a fifth of the world’s population You can meet people of as many as 56 different nations In some parts of China, you can even live with a family for one day

or more, from which you can get acquaintance with and learn more about Chinese, who are eager

Trang 5

to make friends with people from all over the world

Also, it is arbitrary to judge the best choice is visiting China according to the excuse I mentioned

in the above paragraph It is generally acknowledged that China is a nation with a pure culture from the east, and she has a history of more than 5000 years old Over those years, people here have developed brilliant skills, and have build numerous great sites, the most famous ones of

which are the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, both of which you can visit when you are in Beijing, the capital of China

What is more, China has become more and more open to friend of other nations in the recent years People here would like to get more information about other countries, and they are also eager to share their experiences with foreign friends As a result, when you visit China, you can acquire some important information which may be crucial for you

Taking into account all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that when you have the

opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks, to visit China is the best choice

If I had a choice between studying at home using computers and television or studying in a

traditional school setting, I'd choose the traditional setting Maybe it's just what I'm used to, but I don't think that technology can replace teachers and classrooms

After all, technology can fail Computers go down and computer programs crash Televisions break, and the electricity can suddenly go off In those situations, who's going to teach me? If I'm

at school, and the television or the computers stop functioning, there's a teacher to step in and change the lesson plan Teachers can draw on their teaching experience and be creative

Computers and televisions can't

I'd also miss the chance to interact with other students if I weren't going to school I think learning

to play and work with other people is one of the most important lessons we learn in school It prepares us for life, and for working with other people Being with other people also helps us discover who we are

Another concern I have about studying at home is getting distracted It's strange, but I think being home alone is more distracting than being at school with a lot of people At school, we're all

focused on the same subjects At home, it would be so easy to turn off the computer or the

television and go do something else I might tell myself that it's okay to play a computer game now and make up the study hours later Chances are, I'd never make up the study hours

I'm all in favor of using technology in the classroom I think computers and television are great ways for students to have access to a lot of information I just don't think they should be the only tools I have as a student I also need teachers and other students to help me get a complete

education

average person, only your family and friends care about your opinion If your famous, the whole world listens, or so it seems sometimes Is this the way it should be? I don't think so

We shouldn't pay attention to famous people's opinions just because of who they are Being a famous basketball player doesn't make someone an expert on environmental issues However, that basketball player has a better opportunity to be heard than most people do If that player feels very strongly about an issue, he can use his fame to draw attention to it and get other people

involved Often, people with causes that aren't well-known ask celebrities to get involved That way they can draw attention and needed dollars to that issue

People who are rich put their money behind a cause In the same way, famous people are using their most valuable asset In their case, it's not money It's their name recognition Should people pay attention to what they think just because of who they are? I don't think so I also don't think

we should discount what they think just because of who they are They have a right to their

opinion If their name draws people to that cause, all the better for the cause

I think too often we categorize people and try to keep them in their place Celebrities have brains and should be allowed to use them When they're advocating a cause, their opinion should be just one of many factors we use to evaluate that cause
