BIOGRAPHY

LADY DI : Diana Frances Spencer


Diana, Princess of Wales, (Diana Frances; née Spencer; 1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. Her sons, Princes William and Harry, are second and third in line to the throne of the United Kingdom and fifteen other Commonwealth Realms.

A public figure from the announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles, Diana remained the focus of worldwide media scrutiny before, during and after her marriage. This continued in the years following her death in a car crash and in the subsequent display of public mourning. Contemporary responses to Diana's life and legacy were mixed but popular interest with the Princess endures. The Coroner's Inquest reported its conclusion on 7 April 2008 that Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed were unlawfully killed by the negligent driving of Henri Paul, the driver of the Mercedes in which she was travelling, and by the pursuing paparazzi.

Shall we keep pets at home?


I think we musn't keep pets at home, because pets, like us, are racional animals and they'd prefer to live in their natural environment.

In fact, on the 6th January, the three Magic Kings left at my little sister's shoes three goldfish. They're in a small receptable and they're moving all the time, so they're not confortable enough. I think they're going to die, but everytime I say that, my little sister starts crying, so I don't say that any more.

Maybe the animals which will live very well at their homes with a human family, but I think they can't be happy at all.

Everybody needs company from their same kind, included animals.

Smoking in Public Places

-People usually smoke in public places, so they don't mind other people.
-In my opinion, smoking in public places is a bad habit, because smoking cigarettes is unhealthy and produces a lot of pollution in the room. If you smoke, you will probably have a lung cancer or other similar illness. Furthermore, you may disturb someone and you could cause him some trouble. For example, in my case (I'm asthmatic) or in to a pregnant woman, the smoke of cigarettes could be very unhealthy. Smoking should be forbidden in order to protect her baby, because smoking cigarettes could put her health in danger. Nowadays, smoking is forbidden everywhere (in public and private places).
-In conclusion, I agree with all these prohibitions because it is better for our health, both active and passive smokers.

NUCLEAR ENERGY


Nuclear energy has got a very bad reputation, but it is the most widely used.

Nuclear energy is more efficient than other types of energy such as fosile fuel. People think it is dangerous. The nuclear waste is more dangerous than a nuclear energy plant. Nuclear waste is active for around 500.000 years. But it depends on the radioactivity degrees. There are three levels: high, medium and low radioactivity. In the first level it is uranium, in the second level is contaminated water, and there are staf in the third level where they are wearing staf´s clothes.

In my opinion nuclear energy is the most efficient and secure. I don´t like it because the nuclear waste. People do not trust nuclear energy, because it has happened many nuclear catatrophes in the world, Three Mile Islands, USA, Chernobyl,Ukraine, although they have been caused by human errors.

No Smoking in Public Places

Some businessmen now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. This is a good idea though it takes away some of our freedom.
As we know, smoking is harmful not only to our health but also to those who are around. Smoking can lead to many diseases, such as lung cancer. Smoking affects non smokers more than it does to smokers. Ratio of passive smokers getting ill is higher than that of smokers. So, many nonsmokers are against smoking.
In public places the harm of smoking is greater. This is connected with another effect of smoking. That is, smoking pollutes environment by giving much poisonous vapour off into the air.
Therefore, that the government ban smoking is necessary and it mmatters to us. It is a measure to protect ours and the other's health. So many people, especially nonsmokers, are in favour ot that policy.
Some people say that it takes away some of our freedom. I think it is a one-side view. If a peson wants to smoke, he may smoke in private, not in the public places. In fact, smokers still have the freedom of smoking. But, I think, smokers had better give up smoking, not only in private places, but also in the public places, and everywhere. It will be beneficial to all of us.

Nuclear VS Renewable Energy


I think nuclear energy is useful fo everyone and it is also an energy that has many disadvantages as it can damage the environment.
On the one hand without nuclear energy we could not have all the technologies that we have now. But nueclear energy can damage the environment in the near future. Although we don't take any notice, but the damage will occur within a certain time and people don't want to cause any harm to their children. Due to the excessive harm of nuclear energy the best option would be to use renewable energy, but today it would be very expensive to use it

SUPERHERO


Bear Grills is a person who(m) I admire the most, because he is the best survival in the world.

He is making a TV programme, which is based on teaching how to survive in places far from civilization, and in extreme weather conditions. He goes to the jungle or travels to the desert, and he tries to be alive with anything he can see or he can transform. He eats insects, he collects plants, and cuts raw meat, so as to prepare his food.

I think he is an example of bravery, and he remembers me of the behaviour of our ancestors.
