Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several things that we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much as possible. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.

Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no electricity is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.

Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced.

So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global

Some people say that TV offers us with a lot of information, knowledge, as well as entertainment. Others, however, say that TV brings many bad cultures and violence to the people’s homes. Regarding to those two different opinions, there is a question, “Do we still need TV?”

Argument for

Argument against

In conclusion, if we feel sure that we can be very selective in choosing the program, perhaps TV is still very needed. But instead, if we are not too sure that we can make use of it wisely, we had better to stay away from it.

One morning in an English class, a very old female English teacher wanted to teach the students about TENSES.

She first asked the students the number of the tenses. “How many tenses are there in English ?” asked she. Some answered “twelve” and some other answered “sixteen”. “ OK, good. There are sixteen in all”, she said .

Then, she made a sentence and let them guess what tense it belongs to. She said,” If I say : I am very beautiful, What tense is it ?”

Well, I know madam, it is PAST TENSE. Hearing the answer, the teacher got angry and left the room.

One night Jack came home very late. Whereas his wife was

waiting for him restlessly. When he came his wife got angry.She said, “I’ve been cooking

for you all afternoon but you come home very late. Now the food is stale. We cannot eat anything.”

She hit her husband’s chest several times because she was annoyed. Then she pushed him backward. Unfortunately he fell and rolled down the stairs. It made a loud noise.

The couple was quarrelling after that. His closest neighbor heard the noise and came to their house. He knocked at the house strongly.“What’s wrong with you. It’s late at night already and you keep making noises,” said the neighbor. “My coat falls along the stairs,” answered Jack.“It’s only a coat and you shouted as if you hurt yourself,” said the neighbor.

Jack answered quickly. “Of course I shouted loudly because I was inside the coat.”
