Korea needs Biofuel

Abstract

The topic of this paper is an alternative energy that is biofuel. It argues that Korea needs to research biofuel as an alternative energy source of the future to replace fossil resources. There are four reasons for this argument. The first is that biofuel is good for the environment and helps to solve air pollution problems. The second is that biofuel gives Korea a big competitive edge to improve its economy and the third is that Korean technology can be developed to be eco-friendly. Finally, biofuel does not affect food security too much in comparison with the oil crisis.

The topic of this paper is Korea needs biofuel.

Parents Be Aware by Krunal

Today, “One third of the global population ageed 15years and over are

addicted.’’According to “Drug use and abuse worldwide.” There are three things parents

and Indian government should do: give basic education about harmful effects


of drugs, pay attention of their behavior, and intervene if children are addicted to

illicit drugs.

As far as I am concerned, parents and Indian government should give basic

education. As we know, childhood is the best period to build future. Parents should

teach about dangerous diseases and harmful effects. Parents should make some subject

compulsory which are related to drugs.

Second, parents should pay attention of their behavior. Parents should not smoke,

whenever their children are with them. Parents should not give pocket money.for

example, my neighbor who is addicted to cigarette many years. He has two children. His

children are imitated his behavior . In the end, my neighbor knew realty about his

children. Parents should alwas pay attention of their friends because they sometimes

create problems.

Third and last, if children are addicted to illicit drugs. In this

circumstance, parents shouldn’t punish them. Instead explain their children. Parents

should meet with their children and try to explain they get diseases, lose ltheir life

and education etc. This ways, children are come back right ways of life.

In a nutshell, children aren’t mature about their life, so education and

intervention play important role in children’s life.

The alcohol seems like a sexy girl because if she tempts men, men do not control a

mind. The Korean government should help the alcohol problems. It must make strong

rules, many facilities, and prevention programs.

First, the Korean government should make strong laws. For example, mart

stores and convenience stores sell alcohols in korea because people can easily that buy

alcohols. Also, the Korean government must punish the heavy rules about alcoholics.

Last, it should increases alcohol taxes because people do not spend money about buying

of alcohols.

Second, the Korean government makes should many facilities. It should make

hospitals for alcoholics. Hospitals can help the physical therapy and the psychical cure .

Also, the Korean government should make patient treatment centers and give treatment.

It makes counseling houses which help people living skills.

Third, the Korean government makes prevention programs. It should makes ads about

alcohol prevention. For example, if ads about alcohol prevention show dead alcoholics,

people might understand easily. Also, all ads of alcohol prevention need to put big

warning labels. For example, the warning “If you like alcohols, you die soon” is carved

into all ads of alcohol prevention. Also, the Korean government should make pleasure

programs that people can enjoy programs. For example, it need to makes events that are

soda and milk drinking contests in korea

The Korean government must try to make new rules, treatment facilities, and good

prevention programs. Even though alcohol is unhealthy, most people drink too mush.

Therefore, the Korean government should help the alcohol problems.

Smoking in Saudi Arabia By Abdulgader Shukri

Smoking in Saudi Arabia

Smoking is popular all over the world. The number of

people who smoke increased in the entire world. I do not know if

we have countries where smoking is illegal on it, but I know some

areas in my country, Saudi Arabia, selling and smoking cigarettes

are illegal although Saudi Arabia has a larger number of smokers

than other countries. We should decrease the number of smokers in

Saudi Arabia. They are three main reasons to decline this number.

The bad effects of second-hand smoke, it casing the lung cancer, it

consumes large amounts of money.

First, it causes bad effects on second hand smoke. Your family is

the first victim. If your wife’s pregnant and you smoke at home,

your babies become very unhealthy. Also, if you go out with your

friends and smoke around them, it is cause them dieses in the

future. Maybe someone will have asthma and go to the hospital

because you smoke a lot.

Next, the number off the lung cancer increased because they

smoke more and more. In “Addiction: What Can Be Done About It? “

the author says about 75% of deaths from lung cancer among

women are caused by smoking. It is the largest cause of death in


the world although there is a health warning on every packet of

cigarettes indicating that smoking is the main cause of lung cancer.

Also, in the same article the author says on average, cigarette

smokers are 10 to 15 times more likely to get lung cancer than a

non-smoker.

Finally, cigarette smokers consume large amounts of money.

According to BBC News “Saudi Warning to Tobacco Firms” Saudis

spend $1.3 billion a year on tobacco and smoking-related goods.

We can build hospitals with this money to cure smoker. We can help

the poor people. All of disposable income goes to damage your

health even though you feel happy and smile when you smoke.

In conclusion, because all of this principle reasons, we should

decries this numbers. The terrible effects on second hand smoke,

lung cancer disease, and the unbelievable amount of money they

spend on buying cigarettes. I think these reasons are enough for

smokers to cope with themselves about the truth. All of us have at

least one person in our family who smoked. What we should to do

to help them is to give them advice. You should quit now before

you die young. Be careful.

Pregnant women should keep away from alcohol (Caroline)

Pregnant women should keep away from alcohol

Alcohol kills both pregnant women and babies. Alcohol impairs young mother and their children. If you drink a good deal of wine during your pregnancy you will get into trouble. Lots of research indicated that alcohol makes the baby’s body deformed, harms to mother’s heath and makes people have an addiction.
In the beginning, a pregnant mother drinks a great deal of alcohol, which will cause babies to suffer from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS can manifest many symptoms which range from physical to learning deficits. For example, they have heart, hearing and vision problems, neurological impairment, brain deformation and, low learning facilities. It is a terrible disease for the babies.
Also, alcohol harms to mother’s health. Drinking too much alcohol will lead to hepatitis and many cancers. It kills brain and stomach cell either. I have heard recently research shows that wine-drinkers compared with non-drinkers have ten times higher risk of getting stomach cancer. Alcohol does harm to the liver,which purifies toxic substances in our body. The liver have no sense of pain,so drinkers usually ignore the seriousness of hepatitis.
Finally, if a pregnant mother is addict to alcohol, not only she undertakes physical disease but also suffers from family problems. Many alcoholic wives couldn’t take good care of family, because they occasionally blackout and forget what was said or done. The worst thing is that a mother has greater tolerance, which lets her to drink stronger wine. So, the stronger wine they drink,the more diseases they have.
In conclusion, undue alcohol damages our health. Some people consider that drinking wine is a good method to forget sorrows or nightmares,but there’re still others ways to release pressure and to relax figure. A little alcohol can improve our immune system while too much alcohol will damage our health. Pregnant mothers should know drinking alcohol will get a lot of terrible diseases and give newborn babies an unfortunate life.

We'll Lose Children's Innocence by Khoolod Alshareaf

"KHOKA"
We’ll Lose Children’s Innocence.

Children are the most wonderful things in our life. Around the world, there are many ways to kill children’s innocence. In my country, Saudi Arabia, smoking is a dangerous thing for children because it’s allowed. I think the government should do something to stop this because it will harm children’s health, it’s bad habit, and it’s a first step on drugs way.

First of all, smoking harms kids’ health. It is bad for our children brains. Smoking effect is learning deficits affecting abstract thinking and it is very bad for their I.Q. Children will be suffering from lung cancer or asthma. They will lose their appetite and then lose weight.

Next, smoking is a bad habit. Most children smoke because they saw their family do that. They don’t have the ability to decide what is good or bad. Children think smoking will help them solve any problem because they always see people smoke if they have problem, want to think or decide something. They think it is easy to quit smoking, but that is impossible.

Finally, smoking is the first step to more harmful drugs. If children smoke when they are still young, so I think is easy to try any kind of drugs. After children smoke for a lot of time, their body will need something strong, which will push them to try marijuana or hashish. Children and teenagers always do what their friends do.

In conclusion, smoking is bad for children. It’s bad for the brain, health and I.Q. Also it’s a bad habit parent’s help children learn and it’s difficult to quit. In other words, smoking is easy and fast way to kill our children.

The Teenager Smoker by Ray

In “Drug Use and Abuse Worldwide,” the author says “Tobacco

continues to be the substance causing the maximum health damage

globally.” In China, more and more teenagers are smokers even though

they know smoking is bad. I think the Chinese government should make

laws, teenagers can’t buy cigarette. Because smoking is really bad

for the teenagers’ bodies, the people around the smokers will be

second-hand smokers, and smoking spends a lot of money.


First, smoking is really harmful for the teenagers’ bodies.

Teenagers need many nutrients to grow. In fact, the cigarettes can

damage the body’s nutrients. For example, smoking can stop the bodies

absorption of vitamin C, there is the possibility of scurvy. Also,

cigarettes can be directly toxic. I heart through animal test some

surprising results, such as, if someone injected the horse with eight

drops of nicotine, it will soon die. So cigarettes are really harmful

for teenagers.

Second, the people around the smokers will be second-hand

smokers. That is to say, even you don’t smoke, as long as you are near

a smoker, your health will be affected as well. In fact, be a second-

hand smoker is worse than be a smoker. Maybe the other people around smokers will start smoking even though they know smoking is bad. But

teenagers always think smoking is very cool.

Finally, smoking spends a lot of money. Cigarettes are

expensive. In China, smokers spend thousands million dollars buying

cigarettes every year. I’m a smoker. I know this. Every week I spend

about 100 dollars buying cigarettes. That’s not a big number. If I

don’t smoke for one year, I can save 5,000 dollars. I can buy a second-

hand car!

Smoking is really harmful. But it’s really hard to quit. So I

think the Chinese government should make laws, can’t buy cigarettes.

Because is really harmful for the teenagers’ bodies, the people around

the smokers will be second-hand smokers, smoking spends a lot of money.

So, the teenagers, never try it.
