The technician at Repair Departmentsaid, after he tested the line while on the phone with me, it showed that there wasa problem at the pole.

Question 11: Express an opinion

Nowadays, the only thing people seem to be interested in is earning a lot ofmoney. Many people spend their entire lives doing business and neglect theirfamily and friends. I do not want to be one of them. If I had to choose betweenearning money and spending time with my family, I would choose my family.Therefore, if I had to choose between buying a nice big house for me and my familyand a business that would take up all my free time, I would choose the house.Another reason of choosing to buy a house is that it gives you security. Thebusiness may fail, but the house will always remain yours. You know that no matterwhat happens you will always have a place to live in. And if you cannot earnenough money to make your living, you may let off some of the rooms.

We need land to build houses or apartment complex so that people can have adecent place to live and recreation areas for their children in order to grow uphealthy. For instance, in my country people have to invade government land orprivate land to place a rudimentary house such as grass huts. They lack electricity,water or sanitary sewer system. I do not think that is a human way to live. Evenmore I do not think this kind of life is healthy at all. People have to decrease deepin their quality of life and in the process of surviving, they contract a variety ofdiseases. We need land to build industry, so that we can generate employment.

Even though everybody probably thinks this way, the differences between mygeneration and my parents' generations are striking. The technological progress is acertain cause for these differences. My parents did not have the access toinformation as teenagers nowadays have. Television, for example, was a luxury thatfew people could have afforded, and even if they could, the television programswere of poor quality. Another important difference between our generations iscaused by political power that governed the country. My parents grew up under acommunist regime which main characteristic was censure. This censure prohibitedthem to speak up their mind in public. Strict rules must be obeyed; otherwise theywould be seriously punished. Nowadays, we live in a democratic environmentwhich cannot possibly be compared with the pressure of a communistgovernment. This means that people are encouraged to think for themselves andnot to fear to express their true opinion. Of course, this sometimes leads to violentacts from people who misunderstand the role of the democracy.

Some students have parents who need to move from one country to another dueto their jobs or businesses. Because of this, some students may face problems instudying in many different schools and adapting to different environments. In myopinion, schools should arrange a lot of orientations for the new students whenthey enter their school for the first time. Orientation is a very vital part onimmersing the student to his new environment. It involves familiarization of thepeople, places and policies. They should also have programs like a welcome partyfor new students. The teachers play a vital role, as well, on letting the studentsadapt to the culture of the school.

What are the differences between children and adults? After a short while stayingwith a couple of children and adults, one may discover the differences in severalaspects such as the language skills, analysis and the ability to get along with otherpeople. Obviously, an adult can solve problems and work with other people betterthan a child. An adult is more responsible than kids because he takes care of hisown needs. A child needs an adult to take care of him. Sadly sometimes, a child is amore truthful individual than adults are.

Producing items by hand is more flexible. It releases people from being confinedtraditional designs, which are used for machine-made manufacturing. In hand-made pottery, people can work on altering their designs as they please. Inmanufacturing using machines, however, models have to be developed in advance,and the quality of all finished products is based on the model designedbeforehand. If there is a need to alter the design of the product, workers mustcreate another model first.

The philosophy of the Internet provides information and connection amongdifferent people. Everyone using the Internet knows that it is very hard to findquickly the right item which you are looking for. Doing this, man is wanderingthrough piles and piles of useless information and the process of looking resemblesmuch of a fighting with a creature unfamiliar to your desires.
