broadcasting 24 hours everyday and updating timely. I can read the headlines, the financial news,
the sports points, and the weather reports every time when I connect my phone modem with my
computer. From reading the news on the Internet, I can know everything happening around me. It
is very important for me to deal with my daily life with this information. It gives me a lot of
chance to know different peoples. I can know what they are thinking about and how they are
living their lives. The World Wide Web Sites include all of the countries and religions
information. I can tour internationally on Net without going out of my house. From visiting their
pages, I can know more details about them. That is helpful to us since all of the peoples in the
world should understand each other to make sure that we could live together peacefully.
The Internet gives me the convenience of getting almost any useful materials for my study. I can
just type a few letters and click the search engine to get them. I can do them in the early morning
in my pajama while having my breakfast at the same time. Nothing could be more convenient than
the Internet in doing research work like this.
In short, if I could choose one subject to study, I would definitely choose to study the Internet for
its timely updating news and its convenience. I would also like to travel to new worlds and meet
other different peoples. That will be really helpful for me to live a life successfully.

If I could study a subject that I have never had the opportunity to study, I would choose computer
programming, because computer programming is so vital to today s society.
Firstly, computer programming is important to our daily life. With the advance of technology, we
are practically facing an information age; every piece of information today is stored in the
information highway, which consists of computers and networks as hardware, operating systems
and software. Without software installed in these systems, the computers are like bodies without
soul, and will not be able to function at all. Only with programming languages, information can be
retrieved and stored into the information highway. Whether we hook up a phone line or television
cable, book a ticket, travel to a foreign country, apply for a passport, an operator will immediately
check our information from the computer network. If the computer systems are down, we cannot
go anywhere or do anything. We can safely say that computer programming languages are
ubiquitous in our daily life.

Secondly, computer programming is important to technological success. With the skill of
computer programming, scientists can write programs to monitor their scientific research and
experiments, to analyze the trend of technological development, and to forecast the future.
Computer programs can simulate a scientific experiment in a much cost-effective and timely
manner, thus can save scientists a lot of time and money, therefore it can greatly faster the pace of
the development of technology. For example, a civil engineer can use a modeling program to
simulate the water flow of an urban area; when there is a storm, he can quickly know which parts
of the city have the danger of being under the water and dispatch his crew to that area to prevent
the disaster.
Last but not least, computer programming techniques can help us earn higher salaries in our future
jobs. Since computer programming is important to our society and daily life, programmers can
usually have a higher salary than other professionals. Many people have shifted to computer
programming from other careers during the economic boom, and even when the economy is going
low at the moment, programmers and computer engineers can still live a better life than others.
From all above, I can safely draw a conclusion that if I have a chance to study, I would not
hesitate to choose computer programming.

I support the statement that automobile has caused serious problems. While automobile has
brought us many conveniences, it surely has brought us many undesirable consequences, of which
three can be singled out: traffic congestion, air pollution, and highway accidents.
Automobiles have congested City streets. The problem is more obvious when the masses of motor
vehicles enter or leave cities at peak traffic hours. The constantly growing number of automobiles
throughout the world has made the congestion program worse and worse because planners and
engineer simply cannot find a solution to keep up with the increasing volume of the traffic growth.
The widespread use of automobiles for business travel has also led in many cities to a decline in
public-transit systems, which result in more and more use of private cars, and exacerbate the
congestion problems.
Air pollution is another program caused by the automobile. Automobile exhausts commonly
contribute half the atmospheric pollutants in large cities and even more in cities where
atmospheric and topographic conditions cause the smog formation. Although many cities require
the installation of catalytic converters and other controls on motor vehicles to restrict the emission
of pollutants, the concentration of many thousands of motor vehicles in large cities has given the
problem a new dimension.
Highway accidents create a distressing toll of fatalities and injuries wherever there is widespread
use of automobiles. Each year there are hundreds of thousands of motor vehicle fatalities
worldwide and about 50,000 in the United States alone. The social and economic costs of such
accidents are enormous. Efforts to improve highway safety have been successful in most
countries, but a reduction in the ratio of fatalities and injuries per distance traveled is often offset
by increases in numbers of accidents because of the ever-growing use of motor vehicles.
In short, automobile has brought us more bane than boon. We should take public transportation
whenever possible, and reduce the number of cars running in urban streets.

Although automobiles have improved our modern life in some way for its speed, convenience, and
capacity of carrying things, we have had to pay the price for it. Now, as more and more
automobiles have been putting into use, the problems that the automobile has caused are seemed
to be more and more serious accordingly. These problems, in my mind, like the accidents, the air
pollution, the damage of the ozone layers should be given more attention than anytime before.
There are a lot of problems that has been causing by the automobile. It kills hundreds of thousands
of people and disables many more every year. It drinks up our precious fossil fuels that cannot be
replaced. New roads for the automobile also eat up our precious farmlands while many children
are starving all around the world. These problems are really serious and upsetting many of us.
The most serious problem caused by the automobile is the air pollution. It is said that it emits
millions of tons of harmful gas into the air everyday. The dirt air harms our human beings health [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
