1-Technology and our life today

                How great is the debt we owe to modern technology .It plays an important part in our life .We cant imagine life without means of transport .They enable us to travel long distances easily , comfortably and in in a short time .In addition, modern means of communications enable us to keep in touch with the latest events at any part of the world in no time by means of satellite or the internet .At the same time , the mobile is in hand . It is really a breakthrough in communication .We can't imagine life at homes without electric sets. It will be dark and dull without TV. The refrigerator helps housewives to preserve food to use later .Washing machines help housewives to do washing easily and quickly. In fact .Thanks to technology, our life is enjoyable and comfortable.

Life in the future (2)

        Life in the future will be much easier and comfortable than our life today .Every family will own its high-tech home .The sun will provide us wit the energy we need . Every home will have two or three computers and every one will talk to their friends on the internet. Nobody will use telephones any more .We will be able to travel to other planets by rockets .Cars will run on fuel cell batteries and our cities will be cleaner and quieter. I think we will travel more as planes will be faster and cheaper .Perhaps planes will fly to other planets such as: Jupiter and Mars. Finally, the future is the subject of speculation which may come true someday.


Educational programmes(3)


     No one can deny that Educational programmes are of great importance for many students. They save time, money and effort. O one hand , They provide a private teacher for students to help them achieve their goals. On the other hand , They are a growing means that completes the learning process . They give students tips on how to get down to a study plan ;making a "to do list " ; learning how to manage their time properly . You watch them on TV or you can listen to them on radio . I prefer watching TV as learning by watching is more useful than listening .in the end , educators should pay more attention for developing the educational programmes .


Desert reclamation(4)

          Desert is a source of wealth ; it is a means that solves many of our complicated problems .It is an outlet of these problems which eat up any achieved progress .Now , feeding the world is the best problem of the new century as the world faces a severe shortage in food supplies . we can benefit from the desert through reclaiming it ; setting up new projects and constructing new cities .By and large , we share the responsibility with the government in the sense that we take steps to reclaim the desert . On one hand, the government provides the youth with plots of desert land for reclamation. On the other hand, the youth should have the strong will and zeal. In the end, converting the desert into green land has become an urgent task to solve our problems and to live in welfare.


Money (5)

              No wonder if we say that money has its good and positive effects on us .It is a mixed blessing which man can't do without. Some people say "Money is the root of all evil." They think that it is the motive behind crimes, deviation and waging wars among countries. Other people think it will solve all the world’s problems. Everyone agrees there is never enough of it as nothing is worth than wealth in life. However money is not the answer to every thing.
You cant buy love or happiness, but as some one said "if you are going to be unhappy, it is easier to be unhappy in comfort." Therefore, we can make the best use of it in many peaceful aims. It helps build up medical centres, public hospitals, more schools and more land for agriculture which in affects our economy well.

The value of Reading (6)

       Reading is fun .It is the food of the mind. With reading we never feel lonely .Through reading we gain the experience of the others. It provides us with information in all branches of knowledge. It has a good effect on our behaviour. It shows us the best conduct to follow .So, it helps us to acquire good qualities to be good citizens .Moreover, reading helps us to develop our characters and widen our horizons. It enables us to understand the world we live in .Reading enriches our cultural life and creates generations of thinkers ,writers and scientists .To sun up , reading enlightens man and makes him aware of modern changes that occur around him.


Travelling abroad (7)

 Traveling abroad has seven benefits as it is said .We can learn a lot by traveling .It is a means to gain a lot of information about other countries’ customs and traditions .Through these visits we see many countries of the world and get in touch with the peoples of other nations .When we visit a foreign countries ,we see different kinds of life and listen to new ideas .Some people also go abroad for the purposes of education .They can do post graduate studies there .Others go abroad for holidays .They go to new places that worth seeing .In addition .travelling abroad is useful for health as it helps to renew one’s health . I mean changing the places and scenery calms the nerves .It also widens the scope of mind .It helps to develop friendly relations .Businessmen travel abroad to buy and sell .Some people travel abroad to work and bring hard currency which is useful to our economy .Last but not the least , travelling abroad helps to develop one’s way of thinking and dealing with others .In brief ,travelling abroad is a real pleasure .


The computer (8)

                  It is an indisputable fact that we live in the age of the computer. It is more accurate and efficient than man .The computers have better memories and can store huge amounts of information .They can do difficult calculations quickly and accurately .They are used in banks to store information about people’s money .They are used in hospitals to check our health .They are used  in our schools  to help students learn well .Moreover, students learn to use it to be part of the information technology world .Also , the computer is ideal for our everyday needs ; it can used to reserve tickets in shopping , cinemas and travelling. We use it to communicate with relatives and colleagues .In brief, the computer is a great scientific miracle that has helped man to achieve progress.


Planting Trees(9)
                Plants make the world a pleasant place to live in . In fact , man adores the beauty of the nature .Their different colours and shapes drew his attention .Thus, planting trees in the streets of town and cities provides them with the green colour .Trees make streets comfortable places and us feel at ease enjoy everything around us .Trees provide us with shade in summer when the sun is hot .They prevent fog in winter .Trees also shelter us in summer from hot rays of the sun  and are a source of relief .
             On the other hand, the green leaves help to keep the air pure and healthy .Plants are the Oxygen-making factories as they absorb Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen, which is necessary for us to breathe. Hence, they reduce the amount of pollution from the environment. So we should have a sense of responsibility towards trees . Thus when you plant a tree, you are helping your environment and your city .But can you imagine a city without trees.
