4. Flood also leads to streets damages and malfunction. People cannot go to work and other
places.
5. People cannot go to work and other places. Offices become empty, so do schools,
supermarkets, and so on.
6. People try to find the causes of the flood apart from the rain. Some blame it on the
people's attitude in making the environment clean. Some think that the government

Exercise 4

Effects of Alcohol

Letting alcohol take control over your life has many negative effects on a person and the
people around them. One important effect is the damage you can do to your body. Drinking can
lead to severe illness and even eventual death; some health consequences to consider might be
liver disease, kidney failure and, for pregnant women, the loss of their unborn child. Another
detriment is that an addiction could lead to drinking and driving; possibly causing a fatal car
accident for either yourself and/or an innocent by stander. Another concern to consider is the
relationships alcohol can destroy. Alcohol abuse can have very serious affect on a person’s
temperament, which can lead to spousal and even child abuse. Alcohol often is the number one
cause in divorce and spending time in jail. It can also affect relationships outside of the family;
many people have lost life long friends whether it is due to foolish arguments and behavior or
possibly death. Lastly, drinking has negative effects on self-esteem and rational thinking. People
become more self-centered, develop low self-esteem, doing things or behaving in ways that they
would not normally. They have little or no regard to the outcomes of what is said or done when
they grow reliant on getting that alcohol high. The negative effects of alcohol abuse are
overwhelming when considering the many consequences that drinkers and the people around
them have to deal with.

Air pollution

The world is faced with many crises, not the least of which are the various forms of
pollution. And of these, perhaps the most devastating is air pollution. Since this menace is of
concern to every human being, an examination of its causes and effects will be interesting and
illuminating.

The causes of air pollution seem to stem from carelessness or blatant unconcern. Every
citizen who drives a car that is not properly serviced and that does not have emission control
devices is contributing noxious gases into the atmosphere. Large industries that do not have
filtration mechanisms on their smoke stacks are also contributors. Every government which does
not pass or passes but does not enforce strict air pollution legislation is also destroying the
atmosphere. One may wonder why these three aspects of society show such a lack of concern
with the air they breathe. Well, the underlying cause which motivates all three groups is money.
Legislation and enforcement of laws and installation and maintenance of filtration systems cost
money. The majority of these three groups seems content to save a bit of money now and
sacrifice an invaluable commodity later.

The effects of air pollution and disregarding its warning signals influence present life
styles and determine the future. Now people are only inconvenienced by air pollution. Large
urban areas such as Los Angeles have pollution alerts which warn elderly people and those with
pulmonary diseases to stay indoors. For those intrepid enough to venture outdoors, alerts mean
stinging eyes, irritated sinuses, and scratchy throats. Even though people living outside urban
areas are seldom inconvenienced today, no one should be complacent about what the future
holds. If pollutants keep building up in the atmosphere at present rates, only a few years into the
21st century will find the delicate layers of the atmosphere so damaged as to admit the sun's
ultraviolet rays full throttle, or the atmosphere will be so clogged with pollutants that not enough
of the sun's warming rays will filter through to support life. Whatever happens in the upper air,
the city streets will surely be nonnegotiable without a gas mask, and every home will have to
have special filtration devices to make air breathable. Without strict controls on polluters, today's
inconvenience will be tomorrow's crises.

Exercise 5

Success in life

I am a polytechnic student class of 2016 with a good score. So it causes my GPA good,
when I graduate in 2019. A few months after graduation, I get a good job at a big company of the
world. Because I work in a big and successful companies, so I get a very big salary which means
I have a lot of money. With that money, I can buy everything that I want and I can finance my
family well throughout the year. Then I can travel around the world and meet successful people.
The following year, I married someone who could cooperate and love me very well. We became
a compact couple in every way, so we agreed not to delay pregnancy. Shortly after the wedding,
I became pregnant and then gave birth to my first child. My first child is a very beautiful baby
girl. Five years later I gave birth to a boy, so we had a pair of very clever children. We always
want the best for our kids so we prepare everything to make them successful.
