The only way to cut crime in our country is to make punishment more severe

Crime is one of the most important issues nowadays. In the last few years, crime has been going up. Benefits of making punishments more severe are numerous yet much can be said against them.
The main advantage is that there are rapists and murderers who don't deserve to live, but many of them are let out of prisons after three or four years and this causes a lot of scandals in our souciety. So, in this case the death penalty and longlife unprisonment are welcomed. Also, it is very important to think about the wishes of the families and friends of murder victims who demand that justice be done. Finally, these severe measures will help us to keep our children away from crime.
However, the advantages are numerous, there are a lot of disadvantages. Firstly, by making punishments more severe innocent people can get it in the neck, because nowadays we have already had a lot of situations when
a man was in prison for twenty years, but then his innocence was proved. Secodnly, the death penalty affects some sections of the community much more than others. Thirdly, we mustn't be animals, we must believe in God, as the Bible says "Thou shalt not kill!"
To sum up, there are strong arguments for and against punishments, we need to do whatever it takes to consider positive and negative effects of sending people to prison before the final decision is made.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to ask for more information about the deep-sea diving in the Indian Ocean. I am very exciting about the trip, but I would like to have some extra information.

Thirdly, I have some questions about the equipment. I have my own things for diving, but if there is any weight limit I can use their equipment. So, is it provided?
Finally, I would like to have a trainer who speaks English, of cource, if possible.

Why do or do not like travelling?


Travel is movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations for any purpose and any duration, with or without any means of transport. This is what Wikipedia says about travelling, but it has more extensive meaning.

First of all, do I like travelling? Yes, I do. When I travel I simply feel that I am alive. I enjoy learning more about the world and myself. When I travel, I definitely practise my language skills.

Secodly, travelling is a good a chance to meet new people, to know their culture and traditions and the landscapes in other countries. You just can escape from your "normal" life into the life of adventures and extreme. And, of course, if you are a lucky person, life can give you a gift by meeting with a new person who show you another way of living and maybe even open you a lot of opportunities for your future life.

Unfortunately, I don't travel a lot, but I am sure when I grow up, I will achieve my goals and I will visit so many countries as I can.

Should cloning be banned?

Cloning is an important part of today's level of developing of science and plays a large role for out future. The question is, why should cloning be banned?

The first disadvantages of cloning banning is that this science is very expensive and country will lose a lot of money. Furthermore, sometimes it is very hard for people who need new organs to find them. With the help of cloning this problem could be resolved quckly. In addition, many countries already have the equipment to start cloning. So, if cloning is banned, the new tecnology will be useless.

However, the advantages of the cloning ban are numerous, such as the healt problems. Firstly, there is a high risk of mutation of genes, because the tecnology is not yet known. Secondly, cloning could develop hang-up, not every people can handle this. Thirdly, clons may be dangerous to society, because they are unpredictable.

In my opinion, cloning should be banned, because every human should be individual.

Should smoking be banned?

Smoking is perhaps the most urgent problem of the 21 century. Its banning has both advantages and disadvantages.

The main disadvantage of banning of smoking is that tobacoo industry is an important part of the country's economy. Secondly, a lot of small establishments will lose much money because of the useless of newly built smoking rooms. Finally, the most persuasive argument against the forbidding of smoking is that it might be organised a lot of illegal organisations, which might jeopardise legal trade.

However, the advantages of the smoking ban are numerous, such as the health problems. Firstly, Smoking harms the lungs, when people smoke for a long time they might develop lung cancer. Secondly, it pollutes the air and harms the enviroment very much. Thirdly, people who smoke spend a lot of money on this, although they could use the money more usefully.

To sum up, there are strong arguments both for and against forbidding of smoking. Yet, despite the losing a lot of money and the organization illegal organisations, it seems that as long as so many people smoke, the tobacco industry will only develop.

Brain Power

Well, why a good memory is so important? To remember that you need to remove the pan from the heat? You can turn on alarm. Not to forget about an important meeting? You can write a diary. So, what is the importance of our brain?

Firstly, our brains help us to remember all the happiest moments of our lifes, to remeber our past, present and there are people who have developed their brain so that they can even see the future.

Secondly, if you have a bad memory, you can have a lot of problems at school, work and social life. Remembering the details in life can be the main part of your career. When your memory is really good, your success in career will be much better.

Thirdly, when you have a good memory, you can develop yourself as a person. You can learn the culture of different countries, you can teach a lot of languages, you can learn most of the sciences and a lot of other things.

In my opinion, people who are born with a good memory are very lucky, because they do not have to think about some small things like: « When does my boyfriend have birthday? » But fortunately, all people can train their brains, you just need to try.


Just have a fun!

The show started in a big, black room to shine the topic of the show - the solar system. We watched the satellites on the roof while soft sounds worked in the ground to get us in the good humour. Later, our followers, get dressed as automatons, brought us to the second room in which we were able to look at the original starships and probes used for delivering the great unwashed into dimensional extent. Due to the numerals of exhibitions and the number of infromation, we were allowed to have some time to relax so that we weren't exhausted. Food was offered by extraterrestrial in long cloaks, probably to supply to the atmosphere.

Rodeos


When I was in America last summer, I decided to go to the rodeo.It turned out to be one of the highlights of my holiday.

Nowadays rodeos held regularly in America. The history of the rodeo goes back to the turn of this century when county and state fairs were popular in America.

The rodeo started with a parade of the participants, so it was really exciting to observe it. Music was played and flags were raise at the beginning. The rodeo had clowns that appeared between the events and stayed in the field during the event, helping cowboys.

What I found really interesting was the names of the events. There were Bronc Riding, Bullriding, Calf Roping, Horse-breaking and Breaking wild horses. I was very worried about the cowboys because they could be bitten or kicked. When I came to the rodeo I was really surprised because I always thought that a rodeo is a professional competition for participants but it turned out to be attractive shows for visitors, too.

All in all, it was one of the gratest monents of my life. I loved the atmosphere of the place and I think the organisation was just perfect.
