Marijuana
Do you have experience with marijuana? Is it an addictive thing? Nowadays, many countries have a problem that people use the drug. The drug can make many problems such as hurting people, making violence, and stealing money. According to the Institute of Medicine (2000), “Given the well-known consequences of tobacco smoking, it seems logical to suspect that marijuana could be equally detrimental to physical health. Although free of nicotine, marijuana smoke certainly pollutes the lungs. And since tobacco smoking has been linked to respiratory injury, cancer, emphysema heart disease, complications of pregnancy, low birth weight, and other ills, it makes sense to worry whether smoking marijuana might prove equally harmful" (para. 2). Some people want to use marijuana because it can make them feel good. In my country, this is big problem because when a drug dealer wants to sell to other people, they are usually gangsters. We should ban selling drugs and should make a strong law.
Marijuana is not only a drug, but also it can be a medicine. However, it can make many problems such as people having more violence, and sometimes the drug can kill the people. Also, the drug can cause confusion in society.
First, when people use the drug, they can make more violence. If the marijuana is made a legal, it could cause more violence, because the drug users usually make a problem. For example, the drug users seem like drunken people. So, when they use the marijuana, they will lose control. It can make violence.
Second, marijuana can kill people because when people lose control and they take a marijuana a lot, it could kill them. According to Roth (2008), many people do not want to legalization of marijuana because it can cause a serious problem and there are too many who abuse it. Thus, marijuana should be illegal because we want a safe life.
Finally, the drug can make confusion of society because when marijuana is legal, many drug dealers can sell it easily. It can make a bad society. According to Roth (2008), “In Amsterdam, Holland, where marijuana is legal, crime and hard drug use remains a problem. Marijuana has serious harmful effects on the skills required to drive safely: alertness, the ability to concentrate, coordination, and the ability to react quickly. These effects can last up to 24 hours after smoking marijuana use can make it difficult to judge distances and react to signals and sounds on the road” (para. 13). Thus, marijuana should be illegal.
In conclusion, we should make marijuana illegal because it caused so many problems such as killing people and making more violence. Also, it can make confusion of society because it can increase criminality. Thus, we should not legalize marijuana.

Abstract
The topic of this paper is the fact that we should develop alternative energy because oil is an exhaustible resource. It argues that the scientists should develop alternative energy; also, the government should help our scientists and companies. There are three ways they should do this. The first is that the scientists should develop hydrogen, and the second is that the scientists should develop natural gas vehicles. Finally, the scientists should develop electric power.
Have you ever used a natural gas vehicle? Does it cause an environmental problem? I became interested in natural gas, because I will learn about alternative energy in Core class. Nowadays, the world should develop alternative energy. The reason we develop alternative energy is that oil is an exhaustible resource. According to Murray (2008), oil costs have become more expensive because of war. And, Dr. Salameh says that if the war ended, it would prevent the rising of oil price. We should try to develop hydrogen energy because it is not an exhaustible resource. Moreover, hydrogen gas has many benefits. “This option for transportation has never been more relevant, considering the air quality and low carbon emission benefits of natural gas vehicles” (Vaughan, 2008, para. 13). Also, many companies are trying to make hydrogen vehicles because it can make a good environment. According to Walton (2008), many companies and researchers are investing in the hydrogen test project, which will bring us a green environment. Also, “But like experiments with alternative fuels, the price is very high and the long-term outcome is unknown. Proponents of hydrogen technology have long had a chicken-and-egg dilemma over whether to build million-dollar fueling facilities or to wait until more vehicles are in use” (Walton, 2008, para. 7). This energy has been made more popular because it can be an alternative energy.
Nowadays, the world needs alternative energy, because oil is an exhaustible resource and oil costs are increasing more and more. Thus, the scientists should develop alternative energy, for example by doing hydrogen development, natural gas development, and electric development.
First, the scientists should develop hydrogen, because hydrogen has many kinds, and by developing hydrogen they can take advantage of many kinds of skills. Moreover, the gasoline has been an exhaustible resource, so we need to develop alternative energy. According to Bozorqmehr (2008), “Under the order, most Iranians will be limited to about 26 U.S. gallons (100 liters) per month. The ministry also announced the price would be raised by more than 20 percent to 11 cents per liter (about 42 cents a gallon)” (para. 7). Nowadays, the world is focusing on global warming. Many people do not want to influence the environment in a destructive way. The hydrogen cars have more protection of the environment than gasoline. According to Walton (2008), “During a careful fueling process, technicians check for leaks of the highly flammable hydrogen – leaks both in the bus and the fuel pump. Because a fossil fuel, methane, is used to make the hydrogen, the buses are about 12 percent cleaner than gasoline or diesel when their entire carbon footprint is measured” (paras. 12-13). The gasoline cars can make air pollution because the gasoline cars emit exhaust gas. However, the hydrogen cars do not make air pollution. For example, we can use thermochemistry cycle, the sun resolution, and electric resolution. In my country, we have LPG cars, but it is not safe, because it is easy for LPG to explode when people shoot at fuel tanks. Hydrogen cars now suffer from fuel tank explosions. Many scientists have tried to develop a fuel tank which is made strongly. Also, we should think about the fact that when people use hydrogen cars, they must be made safely. In Canada, they have made stronger fuel tanks than before, because they want to commonly use hydrogen cars.
Second, the scientists should develop natural gas. The natural gas causes no environment problem. According to Vaughan (2008), “Natural gas for transportation is exempt from excise tax, which is a good start. What needs to be added are fiscal measures such as tax credits, accelerated depreciation for return-to-base commercial fleets and signals to the auto makers to demonstrate that the government is prepared to create some room for alternative-fuel vehicles” (paras. 15-16). Also, natural gas does not explode easily. For example, in my country, we try to use natural gas vehicles. Some cities wanted to change to natural gas vehicles because they affect the environment less and they do not want to destroy the environment. According to Vaughan (2008), “Natural gas vehicles are eligible for state incentives and federal tax credits. Special access privileges for airport taxis and shuttles operating on natural has have reduced emissions and improved local air quality. High-occupancy vehicle lane access enhances the benefits of natural gas vehicle ownership. Southern California requires that fleets operating 15 or more vehicles purchase the best available commercial technology. In this environment, natural gas vehicles have flourished” (paras. 26-27). So, the government should support our scientists and companies. Some countries do not worry about this problem. However, it could make serious problems. For example, when you need to use another country`s technology, they may give it to you. It means they do not teach their technology, and they just sell their products. If the government supports our country, it will allow us to spend less money and have their good technology.
Finally, the scientists should develop electric power. Nowadays, many scientists have tried to do electric development, because it could be an alternative energy to gasoline. For example, we can use power from water and wind. Nowadays, we are using electric energy a lot, and we do not want to affect the environment. It could help us. According to Oliver (2008), “It`s small, affluent, tech-savvy and it has a very obvious pollution problem – Hong Kong is arguably and ideal destination for electric cars. And despite the absence of a car-marking industry the city can now boast a home-made electric car all of its own. MyCar, a two-seater micro car, will roll of the production line for the very first time in October and will be available for purchase” (paras. 1-2). The electric has better utility value than gasoline, because these resources are not exhausted, and do not affect the environment. Also, in my country they tried to get electric power for transport development. It saves energy and improves water resources. So, we need to have electric development.
Some people say that alternative energy is not cheaper than oil, so they think alternative energy would not be efficient because people would spend more money on alternative energy. However, it is wrong thinking, because the oil is a non-renewable resource, so one day in the future it would be definitely gone. According to Howden (2007), “BP’s review shows that world demand for oil has grown faster in the past five years than in the second half of the 1990s. Today we consume an average of 85 million barrels daily. According to the most conservative estimates from the International Energy Agency that figure will rise to 113 million barrels by 2030” (para. 15). So, we should reduce the use of oil and should develop alternative energy little by little from now on.
In conclusion, many people use oil. Gasoline is an exhaustible resource, so the scientists should develop alternative energy such as hydrogen, natural gas, and electric. It could make an alternative to gasoline. Moreover, not as much as gas, anyway. Thus, we should try to use these resources, because now we have a big problem about global warming. Also, the government should help scientists, because it is not only scientists solving the problem, but also the government that has concern about this problem.

Nowadays, people are trying to make a better environment. However, before people do not care about environment. So, the government decided to make some specific law. For example, when you walk to streets, you must not spit in the streets. Also, you must not throw cigarette butt away. Many people have a fine because they do not care about this low. So, when I came out the army, I am surprise of clean the city. Thus, this law is very good environment. However, American people do not care about environment. For example, they did not separate collection and they have wastebasket a lot.

Who are the homeless? Nowadays, we want to make more money and have a good family. However, some people do not have that because some people do not have earned money and do not have a home. According to Bidinotto (1990), usually most old people can be homeless because they do not have earned money. However, small children have increased among the homeless in New York City. Moreover, many people want to live in the city because they want a better life. However, we can see that some people do not have food to eat, money to spend, or a place to sleep.
What causes homelessness in the city? In my opinion, the economic system is not good because these days we have a problem between rich and poor people. “Economic recession, unemployment, inflation, decreasing availability of low-rent housing, and a low level of job skills have affected this groups” (Torrey, 1991, p. 35). Also, when people like drinking alcohol, it will make them homeless because if they have earned money, they usually spend money to buy alcoholic drinks. According to Torrey (1991), alcoholics and drug users can become homeless easily because they are spends money these products.

Natural Gas
Have you ever using the natural gas vehicles? Does it cause environment problem? I became interested in natural gas, because I will learn to alternative energy in Core class. Nowadays, the world should develop alternative energy. The reason we develop alternative energy is because oil is an exhaustible resource. According to Murray (2008), oil costs have been more expensive because of war. And, Dr. SAlameh says that if the war ended, it would prevent the rising of oil price. We should try to develop hydrogen energy because it is not an exhaustible resource. Moreover, hydrogen gas has many benefits. “This option for transportation has never been more relevant, considering the air quality and low carbon emission benefits of natural gas vehicles” (Vaughan, 2008, para 13). Also, many companies are trying to make hydrogen vehicles because it can make a good environment. According to Walton (2008), many companies and researchers are investing in the hydrogen test project, which will bring us a green environment. Also, “But like experiments with alternative fuels, the price is very high and the long-term outcome is unknown. Proponents of hydrogen technology have long had a chicken-and-egg dilemma over whether to build million-dollar fueling facilities or to wait until more vehicles are in use” (Walton, 2008, para 7). This energy made more popularization because it can be alternative energy.
Nowadays, the world needs alternative energy, because oil is an exhaustible resource and
are increasing oil costs more and more. Thus, the scientists should develop alternative energy, such as for example by doing hydrogen development and electric development. Also, the government should support our scientists and companies.
First, the scientists should develop hydrogen, because hydrogen has many kinds by developing hydrogen they can take advantage of many kinds of skills. Moreover, the gasoline has been an exhaustible resource, so we need to develop alternative energy. Nowadays, the world is focusing on global warming. Many people do not want to influence the environment in a destructive way. The hydrogen cars have more protection of the environment than gasoline. The gasoline cars can make air pollution because the gasoline cars emit exhaust gas. However, the hydrogen cars do not make air pollution. For example, we can use thermochemistry cycle, the sun resolution, and electric resolution. In my country, we have LPG cars, but it is not safe, because it is easy for LPG to explode when people shoot at fuel tanks. Hydrogen cars now suffer from fuel tank explosions. Many scientists have tried to develop a fuel tank which is made strongly. Also, we should think about the fact that when people use hydrogen cars, they must be made safety. In Canada, they have made stronger fuel tanks than before, because they want to commonly use hydrogen cars.
Second, the scientists should develop natural gas. The natural gas cause not environment problem. Also, natural gas is not easy explosion. For example, in my country, we try to use natural gas vehicles. Some of city wanted to change to natural gas vehicles because it cannot effect to environment and they do not want destroy environment. So, the government should support our scientists and companies. Some countries do not worry about this problem. However, it could make serious problems. For example, when you need to use another country technology, they may give you. It means they do not teach their technology, and they just sell their products. If the government supports our country, it will allow us to spend less money and have their good technology
Finally, the scientists should develop electric power. Nowadays, many scientists have tried to do electric development, because it could be an alternative energy to gasoline. For example, we can use power from water and wind. Nowadays, we are using electric energy a lot, and we do not want to affect the environment. It could help us. The electric has better utility value than gasoline, because these resources are not exhausted, and do not effect environment. Also, in my country they tried to make measure transport development. It makes saved energy and improved water resources. So, we need to have electric development.
Some people say that alternative energy is not cheaper than oil, so they think alternative energy would not be efficiency because people would spend more money to alternative energy. However, it is wrong thinking because the oil is non-renewable resource, so one day in the future it would be definitely gone. “BP’s review shows that world demand for oil has grown faster in the past five years than in the second half of the 1990s. Today we consume an average of 85 million barrels daily. According to the most conservative estimates from the International Energy Agency that figure will rise to 113 million barrels by 2030.” (Howden, 2007, para. 15). So, we should reduce to use oil and should develop alternative energy little by little from now on.

According to the most conservative estimates from the International Energy Agency that figure will rise to 113 million barrels by 2030.
In conclusion, many people use oil. Gasoline is an exhaustible resource, so the scientists should develop alternative energy such as hydrogen, natural gas, and electric. It could make an alternation to gasoline. Moreover, these not affect the environment. Thus, we should try to use these resources because now we have a big problem about global warming. Also, the government should help to scientists because it is not only scientists solving problem, but also the government have concern this problem.

Natural Gas
I became interested in natural gas, because I will learn to alternative energy in Core class. Why we are develop alternative energy because oil is an exhaustible resource. According to Munay (2008), oil costs have been more expensive because of war. And, Dr Salameh says that if the war ended, it would prevent the rising of oil price. We should try to develop hydrogen energy because it is not exhausted resource. Moreover, hydrogen gas has many benefits. “ This option for transportation has never been more relevant, considering the air quality and low carbon emission benefits of natural gas vehicles” (Vaughan, 2008, para 13).

This energy made more popularization because it can be alternative energy.
In my paper, I plan to write that the scientists should develop alternative energy. First, the scientists should develop hydrogen vehicle. Next, the scientists should develop natural gas vehicle. Finally, the scientists should develop electric power.
I have found a variety of articles that Florida airport tests hydrogen engines, and who killed the natural gas car? Also, I have found useful websites that will help me talk about the alternative energy. I still need to find an article about how much develop hydrogen energy and how long we can use hydrogen energy or electric power.

Hydrogen Vehicle
According to Marsha Walton (March 19, 2008) in this article “Florida airport tests hydrogen engines,” in the Orlando international airport, hydrogen engine vehicles are being tested. Those cars have the advantages of being quiet and having little environment impact. But, also they got disadvantages such as expensive facilities and few vehicles in use. The Orlando airport is being challenged to improve its hydrogen vehicle system. “The ultimate goal is hydrogen fuel cell cars,” which are less expensive to manufacture. Many companies and researchers are investing in the hydrogen test project which will bring us a green environment.
Nowadays, we need alternative energy, because oil is an exhaustible resource. Thus, the scientists should develop hydrogen energy. Also, the hydrogen cars have more protection of the environment than gasoline, and the scientists should develop electric power.

Finally, the scientists should develop electric power, because we need another kind of alternative energy. If we exhaust our supply of gasoline, we should find another kind of energy. The electric energy is not an exhausted resource. Thus, we should develop our electric energy. Nowadays, we are using electric energy a lot, and we do not want to affect the environment. It could help us. So, we should develop electric power.
In conclusion, we should try to use hydrogen energy because it can be a substitute energy from gasoline. Also, electric energy can be a substitute for gasoline. These are not exhausted resources and do not affect the environment. So, we should try to use these resources because now we have a big problem about global warming.

Natural Gas
According to Michael Vaughan (May 1, 2008) in this article “Who killed the natural gas car?” when oil prices increased in 1980, many car drivers tried to convert their cars to natural gas vehicles, which caused them to make “about 220 service stations” for the vehicle in Canada. But, half of the stations have disappeared. Several factors caused this problem, which is the government`s fault. The natural gas has many benefits such as price and environmental factors. For years, various auto companies have sold natural gas vehicles and the vehicles with natural gas have increased more and more. Natural gas vehicles can be used as California`s transit buses and trucks, which emit less nitro oxide.
Nowadays, the world needs alternative energy, because oil is an exhaustible resource and are increasing oil costs more and more.

According to J. Munay (May 25, 2008) in this article “Oil; A global crisis,” oil costs have been more expensive because of war. Saddam Hussein`s Iraq pumped 3.5 million barrels of oil a day, but now they just pump two million barrels because of war. Moreover, they are saving enough oil. Dr Salameh says that if the war ended, it would prevent the rising of oil price. However, the U.S wanted to capture Iraq and its oil.
Today, increasing the oil cost is an issue. The world is focused on this problem because we need oil. So, the U.S should stop the war. Also, people should reduce their use of cars and the scientists should develop alternative energy.
First, the U.S should stop the war because it makes increasing oil costs. Iraq has burned the places where oil is produced. It means if the war continues, Iraq is going to explode its oil, because they do not want the U.S to take their oil. So, the U.S should stop the war to prevent running out of oil, because the war is one of factors that makes oil run out.
Second, people use cars too many times, so that affects the increase of oil cost, because oil demand would be lower than the amount of spending on the oil. Thus, people should reduce the time they use cars instead of public transportation. It can help to not waste the oil a lot by using public transportation.
Finally, the scientists should develop alternative energy, because oil is an exhaustible resource. Thus, if we used the oil a lot, it would be increasing oil costs more and more. If the scientist developed alternative energy, it could be helpful for us. It will not be as expensive as oil costs. So, the scientists should find other ways.
In conclusion, many people use oil. The U.S should stop the war because it makes increasing oil costs. People should reduce time they use cars and use public transportation. Also, the scientist should develop alternative energy. These would decrease oil costs.

Change of the oil price
I think the price of oil will be more and more higher. When I came to USA, the oil price is 2.70$ per 1 gallons. However, right now the oil price is 4.05$ per 1gallons. I worried about when I drive to car because the oil price. I think the oil price have been increasing because many people a lot of use cars. So, the world will be change reduce use to cars. Also, the scientist should make alternative energy because it will make reduce of the oil price. However, if the price of oil will be increasing, I will sell my car. I do not want spend more money. Maybe, I am going to use public transportation when oil price change more biggest.

Chatting
Chatting
How often do you use a computer? Have you ever chatted with other people? Nowadays, we have lots of problems about chat, because some people are using short words. For example, a someone writes “A.S.A.P.” It means “ As soon as possible.” Some people did not understand this word, because it is not exactly the right words. According to Weeks` (2008) article, many students` writing is not as clearas in past years, because students usually use chat on internet or send email. It might make misunderstanding. Why do so many young people use chat language? It is not good because it makes their grammar wrong and makes them lose their peculiar language.
Many young people usually use chat language because they want to make shorter and shorter sentences. Young people should not use chat language because it can make a generation gap and make them lose their language.
First, young people should not use chat language because if they use chat language, it will make some misunderstanding and some people do not know exactly what they means. Also, it makes a generation gap. “A recent survey by the College Board and Pew Internet and American Life Project found that most students say it is important to know how to write well, but a majority also said that internet-style language – including abbreviations and emoticons – is making its way into their classwork” (Weeks, 2008, para. 37). Old people do not understand abbreviations and emoticons because young people use them with the new generation. For example, when I was young, we usually used the abbreviation words. However, my parents did not understand exactly what they means. It might have made a generation gap because young people think that parents do not understand. So, they think it is not understandable communication. So, young people should use original language.
Second, young people should not use chat language because it will make them los their original language. In my country, teenagers are able to use chat language. It is normal because the teenagers using internet more than old people. According to Lee (2008), “As more and more teenagers socialize online, middle school and high school teachers like Ms. Harding are increasingly seeing a breezy form of internet English jump from e-mail into school work…. Teachers have deducted points, drawn red circles and tsk-tsked at their classes. Yet the errant forms continue. “It stops being funny after you repeat yourself a couple of times,” Ms. Harding said. But teenagers, whose social life can rely as much these days on text communication as the spoken word, say that they use instant-messaging shorthand without thinking about it. They write to one another as much as they write in school, or more” (paras. 12-14). So, if teenagers usually use chat language, they will be forget their original language. Also, they could make mistakes in a situation, when they have to write some paper.
In conclusion, young people should not use chat language, because it will make a generation gap and they will forget their original language. They should have cognizance of their language and they need to use their original language. It will make no misunderstanding; also, it will make no mistakes in their writing paper.

Abstract
The topic of this paper is the fact that Antarctic penguins have been decreasing because of global warming. It argues that humans should protect Antarctic penguins, because decreasing of penguins is caused by human activities. There are three ways for this argument. The first is that the scientist prevents making global warming worse, and the second is that the scientist should make an artificial city for penguins. Finally, scientists should produce their food.
Have you ever heard about global warming? What do you think about whether people should protect the environment? I became interested in penguins after studying global warming in Core class. People like penguin’s appearance and their walking style because it is very cute. People make air, water, soil, and food pollution due to human activities. The definition of global warming is gradual increase in the earth`s surface temperature. Also, “Global warming is disrupting wildlife and the environment on every continent, according to an unprecedented study that reveals the extent to which climate change is already affecting the world`s ecosystems” (Sample, 2008, para. 1). The population of the Antarctic penguin has been decreasing because of global warming. Also, penguins have been losing their habitats. Moreover, they need to eat krill or lantern fish, but there are not enough to eat for them, because of global warming. Global warming has caused very serious problems. According to Smith (2008), penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula gradually died and moved their habitat because of global warming. Global warming makes penguins lose their habitats. Zarembo (2008) explains, “A slight increase in temperature has a huge effect on krill production” (Zarembo, 2008, para. 14).
Smith (2008) explains “The current prediction is what will rise between 0.5 and 1.5 meters this century, but global warming has repeatedly overturned predictions. Right now, the western side of the peninsula is warming at a rate 10 times greater than the mean rate of global warming, the fastest rate in the world” (Smith, 2008, para. 7). Penguins have been decreasing because of global warming. For saving endangered penguins, the scientists need to prevent making global warming worse, because global warming has caused the penguins to die; also the scientists should make an artificial city, and produce their food, because the icebergs are melting.
First, the scientist needs to prevent making global warming worse because global warming has caused a lot of penguins to go toward extinction. Roach (2001) explains, “Warmer air and sea surface temperatures in the Antarctic reduce the amount of ice in the sea. This, in turn, leads to smaller populations of krill, a shrimp-like crustacean that is a staple of the emperor penguin`s diet. With less food to eat, emperor penguins die” (Roach, 2001, para. 5). Antarctic penguin has been decreasing because of global warming. It might be happening because of human activities. Many people are able to make air pollution because now we are using fossil fuel. For example, when we use cars, it makes exhaust gas. This induces air pollution. Also, we usually make some serious environment pollution, because we use plastic bags or oil. It will cause environmental destruction. And, if we did not have any other resource, we would need to try to get new resources. Roach (2004) explains, “Average wintertime temperatures on the peninsula, Trivelpiece said, have risen by about 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) in the last 50 years. As a result, pack ice that once formed every winter now has a cyclical nature to it” (Roach, 2004, para. 16). We should make efforts to conserve natural resources through recycling, because it is a good way.
Second, the scientists should make an artificial city for penguins, because global warming has made penguins lose their habitats. And, people should establish a World Penguin Association, because of for people who support this cause. Although, there are already many associations for endangered animals in the world, none only focus on protecting penguins. According to Sample (2008), the populations of the Antarctic penguin has been decreasing because of climate change and increasing temperature. Also, “Big falls in Antarctic penguin populations, fewer fish in African lakes, shifts in American river flows and earlier flowering and bird migrations in Europe are all likely to be driven by global warming, the study found” (Sample, 2008, para. 3). One example of successful cases is the Giant Panda. The China wildlife Conservation Association focused on Giant Panda. In “news from the Fujifilm Giant Panda Habit” the author stats “The national Zoo and the Giant Panda conservation fund are helping the Wolong Giant Panda Breeding Center as it rebuilds and provides support for the giant pandas and their dedicated caretakers” (News from the Fujifilm Giant Panda Habit, n.d., para 5). I think that penguins need their own association and suffer from global warming which can help them. The association should learn how we can protect penguins. Also, they need a lot of money and people can donate it for penguins. I think the association will be helpful for saving penguins.
Finally, scientists should produce penguins` food, because the icebergs are melting. According to Spotts (2008), glaciologists worry about Antarctica`s ice shelves` role as a protective barrier, because if this were melted, it would not be able to play an important role in keeping the other glaciers away from flowing into the sea. And, the glaciers have been melting faster. One way to help penguins, is that the scientists should rear krill, because penguins do not have enough food. In “Krill Discovered Living In The Antarctic Abyss” the author states “Numbers of Antarctic krill appear to have dropped by about 80% since the 1970s. The most likely explanation is a dramatic decline in winter sea-ice. Krill feed on the algae found under the surface of the sea-ice, which acts as a kind of ‘nursery’. The Antarctic Peninsula, a key breeding ground for the krill, has warmed by 2.5C in the last 50 year, with a striking decrease in sea-ice. It is not fully understood how the loss of sea-ice there is connected to the warming, but could be behind the decline in krill” (British Antarctic Survey, 2008, para 9). The scientists should make special places and rear krill there because it will be helpful to provide their feed. Another way is that people can make more ice, and then they carry the ice to Antarctica. It will help to decrease the temperature. Penguins do not have to move their habitats if the temperature decreases.
According to Matt Farina`s article, “Christians should not care about global warming,” “This very likely may be true. But, is it a bad thing? To many people who are comfortable with the way things are and a landscape change would remind them how little control they really have this is enough to drive them mad” (Farina, 2007, para. 5). However, we should care about the environment because human has caused global warming by human activities. According to Sample (2008), the wildlife and environment on every continent have been confused because of global warming. It might have happened because of human activities. Moreover, we usually use plastic bags, oil, or cars. This has caused serious environment pollution. Also, population growth can make pollution, because many people are able to make air pollution, water pollution, and to destroy the environment. Roach (2001) explains, “climate scientists believe that Earth`s polar regions are harbingers of the effects of global warming and play a major role in regulating global climate. The Antarctic circumpolar wave, for example, is tied to episodes of drought and deluges of rain in Australia. The science, however, is still evolving. “We are progressively understanding how environment variability affects populations,” said Weimerskirch” (Roach, 2008, paras. 13-14).
In conclusion, the scientist needs to prevent making global warming worse, and the scientists should make an artificial city and produce penguins` food. If penguins would disappear in the world, it might be possible for same situation because people do not worry about global warming. So, people should pay attention to penguins because global warming has happened due to human activities. So, humans should and need to protect penguins because this situation comes from humans.

Camping
I like to travel somewhere because when I have traveling, it make reduce stress and happy. I like camping with my friends. I tried to go camping when I arrived in Carbondale. I do not have a car, but now I got it. So, if we are possible, we have a camping every weekend. Last weekend, we are going to lake. We have swimming, playing catch ball, and taking picture. We are already bought such as tent, icebox, and fishing rod. I think a tent more uncomfortable than home. Sometimes, I could not sleep there because the ground is more solid. However, I like camping with my friends. It is very exciting.

I am going to talk about when people travel to other countries, they would make some cultural problem. When I arrived in Japan, I have confused lots of thing. First, I do not know about their culture. In my country, when you are asking other people, some people do not give answer. However, I think Japanese people are very kind. For example, when I was asked some people, they are gives to me about answer and they shared with me that when I was asked places. And, I have a fear because I do not know their language and I am not speaking English very well. So, when I was travel in USA, I am very nervous such as went to restaurant, went to the mall, went to hotel. But, I have more confidence before than now because I learn about English. Sometime, I make a mistake because I do not know their culture. So, I try to learn about their culture.

Also, “Global warming is disrupting wildlife and the environment on every continent, according to an unprecedented study that reveals the extent to which climate change is already affecting the world`s ecosystems” (Sample, 2008, para. 1). The population of the Antarctic penguin has been decreasing because of global warming. Also, penguins have losing their habits. Moreover, they need to eat krill or lantern fish, but it is not enough because of global warming. Global warming caused very serious problems. According to Smith (2008), penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula gradually died and moved their habitat because of global warming. Another author says that “A slight increase in temperature has a huge effect on krill production” (Zarembo, 2008, para 14).
In my paper, I plan to write that the world should protect to penguins. First, the world make artificiality city. Next, the world should make their feed because of iceberg is melting. Finally, the world should prevent to global warming worse.
I have found a variety of articles that losing their habits, decreasing their feed and melting icebergs. Also, I have found useful websites that will help me talk about the situation in Antarctic. I still need to find an article about how can we protect to Antarctic, and how can we have a solution.

Adelie penguins
In Cameron Smith`s (2008) article, “To crack a climate cipher, watch the penguins,” the author explains that penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula gradually died and moved their habitat because of global warming. According to Meridith Hooper, the penguins are becoming extinct and their vast colonies are moving South on the continent. The iceberg melted, so sea levels are rising because of global warming. Moreover, the Northern air, which is warm and humid, affects to Southern air which is dry and cold. Therefore, snowfalls have increased. The penguins need ice because they get their feed from icebergs. However, icebergs have rapidly melted because of global warming. So, we need a solution to prevent global warming.
We have many problems because of global warming, because people make serious pollution. I am going to write about how population growth can make pollution, the cars can make air pollution, and factories can eliminate contaminants by water pollution.
First, population growth can make pollution because many people are able to make air pollution. Also, when population is increasing rapidly, it would make a serious problem because people make air pollution, make water pollution, and destroy the environment. For example, if population growth increases, they are using more fossil fuel. It has caused smoke pollution. So, we should control population. It will make a good environment.
Second, the cars can make air pollution, because many people want to buy a car. Most people do not want to do too much work. Therefore, they are using too many cars. For example, most families have a car or more than two. It makes serious air pollution. Thus, people have tried to make electric motorcars. So, we should reduce the use of cars, and we can utilize means of public transportation instead of cars.
Finally, the factories can eliminate contaminants by water pollution. Some factories emit a lot of industrial waste in the water. For example, some factories owners make effluence quietly and create industrial waste. It has caused very serious water pollution. Moreover, I heard that when oil tankers have sunk in the sea, it would cause serious water pollution. So, we should protect the ocean and keep the laws.
In conclusion, we should protect the environment also we need to control population. Also, we should try to reduce the use of cars and factories can eliminate contaminants because of water pollution. People should create alternative energy because it will have a good effect on the environment.

Dangers of the Antarctic
In I. Sample`s (May 15, 2008) “Science: Global warming: World`s wildlife and environment already hit by climate change, major study shows: 90% of damage caused by rising temperatures: Conclusions based on reports going back to 1970” he explains that the population of the Antarctic penguin has been decreasing because of climate change and increasing temperatures. The wildlife and environment on every continent have been confused because of global warming. It might be happening because of human activity. Changing the environment causes melting permafrost, retreating glaciers and rising temperatures because of global warming. Also, krill has suffered from a decrease in population because of the increasing temperature of the oceans.
Now, we have many problems because of global warming, because people make serious pollution. I plan to write that freon gas makes a hole in the ozone, factories can eliminate contaminants by water pollution, and the cars can make air pollution.
First, freon gas makes a hole in the ozone. The freon gas comes out while using refrigerator, electronic products, and spray products. It causes an attack on ozone. For example, today many people use these products because freon gas has many benefits; it has small surface tension, it can easily melt oil, and it does not explode, because it is colorless, adovlery, and incombustible. But, freon gas causes destruction of ozone. So, we should use less of these products.
Second, factories can eliminate contaminants by water pollution. These reasons make serious problems, because all the world`s oceans are connected. Pollution does not stay where it begins. For example, some factories making dangerous substances have dumped in oceans such things as factory wastes, chemicals, and oil. So, we should keep the laws and not let them do that because it is illegal and it makes water pollution.
Finally, the cars can make air pollution because today the cars are being driven faster. Also, we are using too much chemicals because we are used to cars. It makes serious air pollution. For example, when we use cars, it causes the air to change faster, because of smog, destruction of ozone, and the making of harmful air pollution. Moreover, the cars emit exhaust gas. So, we should reduce the use of cars, because it might make good environment.
In conclusion, we should protect the environment, because when we do not have to protect the environment, it causes the killing of Antarctic animals. Also, if we are using froen gas, it might make an ozone hole, and factories can eliminate contaminants because of water pollution. Also, when people use cars, it makes serious air pollution. So, we should reduce using freon gas and cars. Also, we should keep watch on water pollution by factories.

Antarctica Ice
According to P. Spotts (March 8, 2008) in this article “Antarctic`s Wilkins Ice Shelf Eroding at an Unforeseen Pace” Antarctica`s ice shelf collapse because of global warming. Its corrosion does not directly influence the sea level. However, glaciologists worry about Antarctica`s ice shelves their role as a protective barrier, because if this would be melted, it cannot play an important role in keeping the other glaciers away from flowing into the sea. And, the glaciers have been melting faster. Dr. Scambos says scientists could predict the behavior of other ice shelves as weather changes the ocean`s state.
I agree in this article. People should protect Antarctica; also, we should protect nature. I am going to write about air pollution, water pollution, and environment pollution.
First, many people are able to make air pollution because now we are using fossil fuel. It has caused smoke pollution. For example, when we are used to cars, it makes exhaust gas. This induces air pollution. As another example, if oil factories are operating firing, it causes air pollution, because when we burn fossil fuel, it would make serious problems. So, when we use fossil fuel, we should use it carefully.
Second, many companies make water pollution because they emit a lot of industrial waste in the water. Some companies make effluence quietly and create industrial waste because when they are unlawful, they are able to get away whit this situation. Also, if we have an oil tanker sunk in the sea, it would cause water pollution. So, we should try to keeping water.
Finally, we usually make some serious environment pollution, because we use plastic bag or oil. It will cause environmental destruction. And, if we do not have any other resource, we should try to get new resource. We should make effort to conserve natural resources through recycling because it is a good ways.
In conclusion, we have to protect nature. We need to protect air, water, and environment, because it is a very important resource. Some people do not keep our nature. So, we should try to use reusable resources, and when we are using fossil fuel, we have to be careful.

Who is smarter between males or females?
Today many people want to intelligence because they want to good life and make more money. Many people try to get a good knowledge and they want to improve their ability. Some people have a different education when they have gifted ability. The group conducted survey about who is smarter between males or females because we wanted to know people think who is smarter between males or females. We need to know how people thought about intelligence and to know people consciousness for intelligence. There were five members in our group. There were Ghada, SA, GilJae, Hana, and Faisal. We have three hypotheses about who is smarter. First, we think that males are smarter than females about mathematics. Next, we think females say that females are smarter than males, also males says that males are smarter than females. Third, we think that females are smarter than males about speaking fluency.
Our group asked fifty people who are different gender and age in Carbondale to get a different opinion. We are survey at Student Center and Faner hall. In addition, we decided to ask students because we wanted to know how people think about who is smarter between males or females. We prepared a survey that has ten questions. Those questions were almost choice male or female or N.D. questions, so it was easy for respondents to answer the questions.
We have some unexpected results and expected results. We have two expected results. First, males are smarter than females about mathematics. Second, females are smarter than males about dexterity. However, we have four unexpected results. First, the result shows that females said females are smarter but males said no different at speaking. Second, females said females are smarter but males said no different. Third, males said no different and males but females said no different and males at spatial relations. Finally, females said females are smarter and no different but males said no different at reading.
In conclusion, we have unexpected results about smart, speaking, spatial relations, and reading. However, we have expected results about mathematics and dexterity. Usually, males did not talk about intelligence but female considers about the intelligence with their friends when they hang out. The men did not show their emotion but women did show their emotion. So, this survey shows that most females think they are smarter than males but most males think that they are no different.

Summary
In Jha`s article “Overeating by obese people is like drug addiction, brain research finds” the author states that the desire to overeat directly from the part of brain connected to emotional state. This study is done with “the National Academy of Sciences.” The research was started from the hypothesis “which part of brain and stomach.” Twenty volunteers who had obesities had had gastric stimulators for two years. This gastric stimulator decreased volunteers` desire to eat 21% less than when the stimulator did not work. Those new outcomes can be very important booster for decreasing the number of people with the obesity.

Nowadays, there are a lot of obese people you can they see. I know that they haven`t wanted to be fat, but they made it. It is depends on their willing like giving smoking up. Even if they don`t want to be a fat people, they cannot stop overeating. The most important thing is they know if people are fat, it will be caused serious diseases. But they cannot stop because their brain wants to be full their stomach. In fact obese people don`t think about losing weight. Actually, in my case I think eating too much because I think when I have too much stressful, I have eating too much but in this article says that it is likes drug addiction. Also, I have eating much sweet things such as soft drink, soda drink, candy, and snack. It would be caused dangerous diseases in my body. So, we should have good eating habit.

Intelligence Test
Nowadays, many people have taken an IQ test because the government wants to find people who receive higher scores. The government knows that people have different IQ score because they have different environment and knowledge. When people have taken an IQ test, they did not know their IQ score because the school did not give the IQ score, but they know your score. If you have a higher IQ score, you may get a different education. Generally, many people have an average IQ score, but some people have a good IQ score. I think that we should take IQ tests. I am going to write about why people do the test and how we do the test.
First, we should test because we want to find when people have a higher score. According to Seal`s book, “gifted children experience advantages in virtually everything. They are taller, faster, better coordinated, have better eyesight, fewer emotional problems, and tend to stay married longer than average.” (Seal, 1998, p108). For example, when you have higher IQ score, usually other people envy you and someone does not like your gifted ability because when you have gifted ability, you have a high opinion of yourself and you have different ability. So, we should take a test, and we should have different education.
Secondly, we do testing because we have many parts of the testing method such as scientifics, mathematics, and logical. According to the “Role” article, “some school districts rely heavily, or even exclusively, on standardized IQ test scores to identify giftedness, yet other districts may use a multidimensional procedure that views test scores as only one piece of a much larger picture of a child`s talents.” (Role, 2007, para. 4). Also, we have different abilities. So, the government should make a good test method.
Opponents say that they do not want to separate study different education. According to Role`s article, “IQ only identification point out that these tests may assess only a narrow range of ability, neglecting a child`s strengths in other areas, such as spatial reasoning or nonacademic talents.” (Role, 2007, para. 4). They do not want to have a distinction because they think that they are not different but they just have more intelligence than them. They wants their IQ scores secret. So, we do not have to take IQ tests because many people want their IQ score secret.
In conclusion, we should take IQ testing because we have different knowledge and ability. The government should know people who have higher IQ score because if you have a high IQ score, you will help to develop your nation. If you do not have a good IQ score, you have to study more and develop a good ability. So, we need to develop good intelligence and ability.

However, the article says if you use in workplace about like a well-being trend, it will make workers more pay attention to their health and stress.
Reaction
I think I agree this article about many workers have problems their health because Korean companies have more night work hours and the boss give a lot of work. This is make health problems and gives stress. When I was work part-time job, I did not work long time because they give to me more stressful. So, I think companies need to give vacation and recreation games. It will make good benefits about workers have more good health, have more time, and have less stress.

Education
Nowadays, many people want good educations. Education is important in their life. Most parents spend lots of money because they want their children to have a good education. Moreover, some people do not make an effort about studying but they have other interests such as music, exercise, art. The government worker to give effort children a higher intelligence ability. The government has made good programs and they want to change poor educations. I am going to write about home life, social life, and work life which benefit from education.
First, most people have home life improved by education. Parents give a polite and good life style for children. Also, many children affect their family. For example, when I was young, my parents tried to teach me language skill and they helped me grow up in my life, but I do not have lot of discipline. Sometimes, many parents give discipline their children, but my parents do not have a lot of stick. So, parents need to help their children. This is important because when they children grow up, it will be made good ability.
Second, social life is improved by education. Most people go to school because there they learn about social nature, knowledge, and community skill. For example, when people go to the school, they meet many friends who have different personality. So, they learn about how people know show their emotion when they meet someone.
Finally, work life is improved by education. Many people want to have a better job because it makes more money and they have higher stator. Moreover, if they have low level, they try to change their job because they want to make more money. For example, many companies want an intelligent person when they have to decide on an employee. So, my sisters decide to move to another university because many companies want to honor that university. This situation is normal in Korea because most people want to join a good company. So, if you want to join a good company, you have to have more study.
In conclusion, I think education is very important in your life because we have to meet lots of people and we want to have a good job. People can have a home life and social life improved by education. Also, work life is improved by education. So, we need have to more study and learn good skills.

Giftedness
Nowadays, most of parents want their children have more intelligence, but most children do not like gifted children because they are more intelligence and have better ability than normal. If children have giftedness, some children have an air of consequence. Parents think that education is the important thing. Societies need educated people, but people have different abilities. But children who are gifted, are not different to average children. Seal (1998) “giftedness” the author discusses giftedness and its characteristics. I agree whit this article about when children are intellectually gifted, they will be more comfortable about studying.
In Seal.B (2008) article, “Giftedness” the author defines types of giftedness and discusses characteristics of the mentally gifted. Seal describes the types of six categories such as psychomotor abilities, visual and performing arts, leadership ability, creative or productive think, specific academic aptitude, and gifted intelligence. L. M. Terman started a study of mentally gifted in 1920s. Terman`s research group concentrated on about 1,500 children who got over 135 IQ. In 1956, Lewis Terman died but the test still continued. Terman`s children have more educational, better financially, smarter children than average. Many Terman children did grow up to be rich and famous and live happily but not all.
Actually, I think I do not have giftedness. When I went to middle school, I saw my friend who had more intelligence and giftedness. I had a sense of inferiority about his ability. For example, when we had a test, I usually took 3 to 4 hours to prepare for an examination but my friend took 1 hour. Moreover, he had more intelligence and good ability. I think he never tried to study hard because he had giftedness. For these reason, I make an effort to study because I want to be similar my friend.
In conclusion, most people who have giftedness and good ability, they will be rich and famous and live happily. And they will have more education and development of their ability because they can help the nation. However, if you have do not this ability, you can make a good ability. You are not different from a prodigy, but you have to have more education and effort to development your ability.

I was a student in Korea University, so I know this violence this violence problem. Therefore I focus on this article. Although I have never been hit from a senior, but I know that annually starting semester, over one person gets injuries from violence on campus. In Korea the semester starts in March. When freshmen visit their university they have orientation. After finished official orientation, seniors arranged unofficial orientation for freshmen. Most freshmen expect their university life, this time is the first step for university students. But these orientation days were occurring lots of violence. Senior offer to freshman lots of alcohols and order physical punishment. Normally, other course of departments orientation is not keep tradition but departments have related neither physical nor sport are having high value for tradition. Those departments have more violence problem than others.

Corporal Punishment
In “Our view on corporal punishment: To spank or not to spank?” the article fells about corporal punishment. Parents try to find better ways to punish bad behavior. Half of American parents sometimes spank their children. It could cost them up to a year in jail, a $1,000 fine or the demand to attend parenting classes. Those who object to spanking say corporal punishment is a form of violence that causes psychological damage. The advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics is that spanking maybe used only in choice, rare situation, if at all seems about right. I am going to write about giving advice, spending time with children, and giving more freedom.
First, when your children have bad behavior, you should not use corporal punishment. Young people are important at the times when they grow up. When I was young, my parents did not give punishment. I think it was right, because when parents have punishment to children, they have a rebellious spirit. So parents should give advice when they have bad behavior.
Next, parents should spend more time with their children. It makes a good situation because when parents spend time with their children, they have good effects when they grow up. For example, when I was young, my parents fried to spend to time with me. I think it made me a more comfortable feeling and I had the feeling of love. Most parents should spend time with your children.
Finally, parents have to give more freedom to children. Young people want to enjoy their friends. Sometimes, parents have authority over their children. It causes a bad situation. For example, when I was young, I had more freedom, but my friends did not have freedom. It means when people have freedom, they can do more creative thinking, because when people are kept down, they do not have creative thinking.
In conclusion, today many people want to have good children when they grow up. If you give them freedom, spend time with children, and give advice to children, these will have a good effect on children, because I have experience. So many parents have to have these ways. If you have these ways, your children will have good personalities.

How about Clone Foods?
Vocabulary
Clone – is an animal or plant that has been produced aritificially
Livestock – animals such as cattle and sheep
Indigestion – you have pains in your stomach and chest
Optimize – a situation or opportunity means to get as much advantage or benefit from it as you can
Tragic – is used to refer to tragedy as a type of literature
Summary
In Guterl’s (2008) article, “Would You Like Fries With Your Clone?,” he discusses GM food’s safety. According to this article, GM food has many benefits to people. For example, clone food has same quality as original food so it may help to save money. Actually, some of clone animals are already supplied in the US. However, there is some opposite side of people. That food could cause dangerous situation because it is not an original product from nature. Even though, the author gives both right and apposite sides because he claims that we would not expect cloning food may harmful for human.
Reaction
In Korea, they do not like clone food in these days. They used to eat some of them such as corn, potato, and so on because clone food is cheaper than original food. However, people realize that foods are harmful people’s body. So now they usually try to eat well being food. Actually, I like clone food than well being food. Because well being food is so expensive and I think the taste is totally same. Foods are limited to take care all people in the world, so clone things are needed. This kind of work may improve the quality of food and save endangered animal species. For people, clone things need in our life.

Survey

Survey
Smoking Survey
1. Introduction
Do you smoke? Have you smoked cigarette under 18 years old? How often do you smoking? What is your opinion? Today scientists know that smoking is not good for your health. It causes serious disease such as lung cancer and laryngitis. Now so many teenagers and adults have smoke cigarette. In “New Dangers of Secondhand Smoke” the author claims that “Researchers have known that secondhand smoke can be just as dangerous for nonsmokers as smoking is for smokers, but now there’s fresh evidence quantifying just how hazardous the after burn from cigarette can be, and how quickly it affects your body.” (2007, p. 1). Also, secondhand smoke causes lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory ailments. It means when you near to smokers that they have a health problems. However, many people want to quit smoking because they know smoking affects to serious health problems but they could not quit smoking. Because cigarette have tar and nicotine. Nicotine is a drug, an extremely harmful and addictive drug.
2. Purpose
Our group, Dhay, Suliman, and I, decided to find out how smokers think about smoking when they are under 21. I wanted to know who start first men or women. And, I wanted to know what American think the best solution to decrease smoke. Also, I wanted to know how many people try to quit smoking.
3. Hypotheses
I had three hypotheses about smoking. First, I think that males would say they started smoking earlier than females. Next, I think that American teenagers start to smoking at 16 to 19 years old. Third, I think that American teenagers learned about smoking mostly from friends.
4. Methods and Procedures
Our group asked thirty people who are different gender and age in Carbondale to find out different idea. In addition, we decided to ask smokers, because we wanted to know how smokers think about smoking when they are under 21. We prepared a survey (see Appendix 1) that has ten questions. Those questions were mostly choosing the questions, so it was easy for respondents to answer the questions.
5.Data + Chart
6. Results
Actually, males said they began to smoke cigarette sooner than females. Twenty-four out of thirty (80%) SIUC students start smoking. 76.6% students learned about smoking mostly from their friends. Some students learned about smoking from parents in the survey result. The students (60%) think that the best solution to make people quit is high price. The students almost similar answered about if they increase the price of cigarette, it will make smoke less. The last result was about have you ever quit smoking, but students (40%) did not try to quit smoking.
7. Conclusion and Discussion
I believed that men would say they started to smoke cigarette earlier than women. It is true because our survey showed that a number of males started to smoke cigarette earlier than females, before 16 years old. I was surprised that 93.3% students who were 11 years old to 19 years old answered that they had started smoking. Also, I was surprised that 40% students have not quit smoking.
However, it was not surprising to me that 76.6% of people learned smoking from their friends because i was learned smoking from my friends and i think so many people learned smoking form their friends. While i expected that both men and women answer that almost people quit smoking under 4 months.
If I could do this survey another time, I would like to ask old people, because many people do not stop to smoke cigarette. I want to write “Why you don’t stop smoking?” as one of questions, because many people know about smoking make a serious health problem, but they do not do that. Therefore, next time I would like to ask this question.
