WORLD PROBLEM AWARENESS

GARBAGE IN THE SEAS

the solid residues in the marine enviroment, source of many ecological problems, must light of the simplest and effective form: by means of the prevention

This problem includes all kinds of objects that don´t appear of natural form in the aquatic ecosystems. tailing or waste (objects produced or used by the man and reject later), the most frequent categories of marine garbage are plastic, glasses, rubbers, metals, paper, wood and fabric.The principal characteristic of these residues consists in that these float, and they move constant dragged by the marine currents and these degrade to a pace that it determines the time that the residue remains in the marine environment, more time remains the residue, in Mayor it´s the threat that this one supposes for the human beings, the wild life and the navigation. The most serious dangers that this problem carry for the wild life are the risk that the animals get entangled in the diferents tailing or that they consumer them.the wild life suffers serious damages like that.

one of the best solutions to reduce the quantity of residues in the marine environment is in the recycling, that is to say, in the withdrawal, separation for types (plastic, glasses and metals) and transformation of the materials rejected in order to use them again. the recycling has turned into a frequent practice; with everything it´s necessary to bear in mind that not all the materials can retrain.
- the exists another strategy better than the recycling: the putting in practice of measures directed to prevent the pollution to be able to reduce the quantity of tailing. some examples would be the repeated use of the same material, the employment of reusable objects instead of objects to use and throw and the limitation of the bundles that we consume.

-The marine garbage can generate numerous ecological problems in the whole world. numerous goverments and organizations deprived already have intervened; even this way, the individual initiative continues being the best way of attacking the pollution of the oceans. provided that the prevention seems to be the simplest and effective method of diminishing the residues in the sea, we should begin all for checking our ways of life, calculating how much garbage we generate and to imagine to where it´s going to stop.

O- ESSAY

SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT MODERN TECHNOLOGY, SUCH AS THE INTERNET WILL EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE BOOK OR THE WRITTWN WORD AS THE MAIN SURCE OF INFORMATION. DO YOU THINK IS TRUE?

New technology could be the best way to obten information?

With the new technology you don´t lose time because this one is a rapid way in order that you obtain the information that you need.


To begin with modern technology is very important for our comunication an information about defferent things such as: business news, press,sport,reports, find job,documentaries. in particular the internet because you can to do all this at the same time with only a clik ,for this reason you do not spend time and can do many things more .Another advantage of Internet is that it cuts distances.

On the other hand I believe that the new technology is very important in our life but isn´t the most important thing, that is to say,It has advantages and disadvantages, I said the advantages previously, but the most important disadvantage of the new technologies is that these can manage to be very dangerous if you do not use them correctly, for example in Internet you can find pages with a disagreeable content for the children.

Finally you should have in mind that the new technology offers us big changes and more comfort for the life, but also there are other traditional ways of learning such as reading books, périodicos or other mass media, you must not leave of side the books since these are an opened mind that can help you to develop your imagination and creativity.

N. MEDIA

The media are a very important tool for the development of our life, because they keep us informed and entertaining.
In my opinion the mass media have us informed in topics as: the economy of our country,Enterteining movies, documentaries and educational programs.
The media help us to develop our creativity and imagination, but this is dangerous when you cannot use them like of correct form.

M.OPINION SUCCESSFUL

In my opinion there are several manners of reaching the success,For example you should have clear goals in your life and you should do the possible thing for reaching them, being a constant intelligently, creativly, educated, politely and the most important you should be an Ambitious, efficient and competent person.
