Watch your Kids While Watching TV
Television becomes one of the most important devices which takes place in almost houses. It can unite all members of the family as well as separate them. However, is it important to know what your kids are watching? The answer is, of course, absolutely "Yes" and that should be done by all parents. Television can expose things you have tried to protect the children from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism and so on.
Recently, a study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day or at bedtime often cause bed-time disruption, stress, and short sleep duration.
Another research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of time spent for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.
Considering some facts mentioning above, protect your children with the following tips:

Mobiles - useful or dangerous?

Why are mobiles so popular? Because people love to talk to each other. And it is easier with a mobile phone. People think mobile phones are fun and useful. In countries like Russia and China, people use mobile phones in places where there is no ordinary telephone. Business people use mobiles when they’re travelling. In some countries, like Japan, many people use their mobile phones to send e-mail messages and access the Internet. They use a new kind of mobile phone called ‘i-mode’. You can even use a mobile phone to listen to music.

Mobile phones are very fashionable with teenagers. Parents buy mobile phones for their children. They can call home if they are in trouble and need help. So they feel safer. But teenagers mostly use them to keep in touch with their friends or play simple computer games. It’s cool to be the owner of a small, expensive mobile! As eighteen-year-old Londoner Rosie Farrer says, ‘Before, girls of my age smoked cigarettes to look good. Now we have mobiles!’ Rosie’s right. Research shows that teenage owners of mobile phones smoke less! Parents and schools are happy that teenagers are safer and smoke less. But they are worried about the possible problems of mobile phones.

There are now 750 million mobile phone users around the world. This number will probably grow to 1.4 billion in five years’ time. Many people dislike them. They hate it when the businessman opposite them on the train has a loud conversation on his phone. Or when mobile phones ring in a café or restaurant.

But there is a much more serious problem. We are not sure that mobiles are completely safe. It’s possible that mobiles can heat up the brain because we hold the phone so close to our head. Scientists fear that mobiles can perhaps be bad for your memory and even give you cancer. Because of these fears, some people use a ‘handsfree’ mobile – a phone that you needn’t hold to your ear. But it is possible that these are more dangerous. We just don’t know and many parents don’t give their younger children mobiles for this reason.

So why do we use mobiles when we aren’t sure they’re safe? Because mobiles are a lot of fun and very useful, we choose to forget the possible dangers. We choose to believe that mobiles are safe. Let’s hope we’re right!

Visiting Bali; a recount text

There were so many places to see in Bali that my friend decided to join the tours to see as much as possible. My friend stayed in Kuta on arrival. He spent the first three days swimming and surfing on Kuta beach. He visited some tour agents and selected two tours. The first one was to Singaraja, the second was to Ubud.
On the day of the tour, he was ready. My friend and his group drove on through mountains. Singaraja is a city of about 90 thousands people. It is a busy but quiet town. The street are lined with trees and there are many old Dutch houses. Then they returned very late in the evening to Kuta.
The second tour to Ubud was a very different tour. It was not to see the scenery but to see the art and the craft of the island. The first stop was at Batubulan, a center of stone sculpture. There my friend watched young boys were carving away at big blocks of stone. The next stop was Celuk, a center for silversmiths and goldensmiths. After that he stopped a little while for lunch at Sukawati and on to mass. Mass is a tourist center
My friend ten-day-stay ended very quickly beside his two tour, all his day was spent on the beach. He went sailing or surfboarding every day. He was quiet satisfied.

Old Enough?

When a person old enough to be responsible for a crime? This question needs to be investigated because the current law is not good enough
The law at present protects children aged between ten years and four years from being punished for committing crimes. It is believed that children under fourteen years are too young to realize the seriousness of their crimes. Mr. Stephen Scarlett, head of the NSW Children’s Court, describes how clever young offenders use this defense, saying that they are too young to understand that they have broken the law. Mr. Scarlett, an expert on this subject, states that the age should be dropped from fourteen to twelve years. I agree with this.
Teenagers these days are far more sophisticated than those in the past. The law should recognize this. In a recent survey some people suggested that the age for being responsible for a crime should be dropped to eight years old. This, I feel, is too young. Fourteen, however, is too old. Is there anyone who believes that a fourteen-year-old does not know that it is against the law to steal or vandalize property? By the age of twelve, children are aware of what is legal and what is not.
Public pressure creates change. It is now up to the public to put pressure on the government to change the age at which a person may be held responsible for a crime from fourteen years to twelve years. Out of date laws have no place in a modern society, especially one that needs people to be responsible for their actions.

Global Warming - Frightening Report

On 22 January, international scientists produced a frightening 1,000-page report on global warming. The 1990s were the warmest ten years for 1,000 years, they say. Temperatures will go up even more quickly in the next 100 years. The sea will be 88 centimetres higher than it is now. Millions of people in China, Bangladesh, Egypt and other places will lose their homes in terrible floods. Why is this happening? And what can we do to stop it?

Most people agree that carbon dioxide in the air is the biggest problem. It is produced when we burn gas and oil. In November 2000, 160 countries met in The Hague to discuss this problem, but nothing was decided. Europe and China want to produce less carbon dioxide. The USA, Australia, Canada, Russia and Japan disagree. They think that we should just plant more trees. 'More trees will cool the world,' they say.

Other people don't believe that there is a problem at all. International oil companies are paying scientists lots of money to prove that global warming doesn't exist. Their money has also helped an oil man to become the President of the USA. George W Bush worked in the oil industry for many years, 'I don't think global warming is a problem,' he says.

While governments do nothing, the world is getting hotter. There are more and more disasters because of global warming. Last summer, the USA had the worst fires in its history, and Northern Europe had its worst floods. In February 2000, heavy rain and storms brought serious floods across southern Africa. Southern Botswana received 75% of its usual yearly rainfall in only 3 days. Polar bears are dying near the North Pole because the ice is melting. This is already making the sea higher. The north of Egypt, for example, is losing 148 metres of land under the sea every year. There have been serious droughts in North Korea (1997), Afghanistan (2000) and Sudan and Ethiopia (1998-2000). The Yellow River in China ran dry in 1998 and 1999. There have even been reports of unusual illnesses in America: West Nile fever in Boston and malaria in New York.

Is there any hope for the future? Some people think that solar and wind energy is the answer. Germany already has 100,000 solar roofs. The USA has plans for 1 million. But there are some problems – like carbon dioxide – that countries cannot solve alone. Let's hope that at the next meeting, governments will stop fighting and start working together. If they don't do something now, what kind of world will there be for our grandchildren?

NOTES:


 

  • FUNCTION OF THAT and "WH-WORDS" in NOUN CLAUSES:
    •  
        He told me (that) he (subject) bought (verb) a car (direct object).
        I wonder whether he (subject) bought (verb) an expensive car.
        I wonder who(m) (indirect object) he (subject) told. (verb)
    • THAT does not have any function within a noun clause (unlike adjective clauses). It simply introduces it, and is, therefore, often omitted: WHETHER and IF also do not have any function within a noun clause, but because they carry important information, cannot be omitted: Other "WH-words" DO have a function within a noun clause, just as they do in adjective clauses, and, therefore, cannot be omitted ... even when they're not the subject.
  • TWO KINDS OF "WH-CLAUSES":
      indirect questions:

      Who is it?
      When did we go?
      I know WHO IT IS.
      I don't remember WHEN WE WENT. Was it Tuesday?
      nominal relative clauses:

      that thing which I did
      the time that we went
      I'm sorry about WHAT I DID.
      I often remember WHEN WE WENT... It was so much fun!
  • TENSE
    • backshifting in "reported speech": If the "reporting" verb is in the past tense, the verb in the main clause is usually "backshifted." Exceptions include certain modal verbs, or situations in which the verb refers to something that is a general fact or is still not "past"
        "I'M tired." --> He said he WAS tired.
        "My mother GAVE me this book." --> He said his mother HAD GIVEN him the book.
        "I WOULD LIKE another one." --> He said he WOULD LIKE another one.
        "This WILL BE finished by 1999." --> He said it WOULD/WILL BE finished by 1999.
    • urgent requests or desires: After certain verbs, nouns, and adjectives expressing urgent requests or desires, the verb in the noun clause is in the "subjunctive" ... which, in English, is the "base" or "dictionary" form of the verb:
        He recommended that she STUDY German.
        It's important that we BE ready to go at 6.
        I don't understand the request that the audience NOT APPLAUD until the end.
  • REDUCTION OF NOUN CLAUSES TO INFINITIVES:
    •  
        He told me THAT I SHOULD DRIVE. == He told me TO DRIVE.
        He asked me IF I WOULD HELP. = He asked me TO HELP.
        I'm not sure HOW I CAN HELP. = I'm not sure HOW TO HELP.

        etc.
    • noun clauses with will, should, can, etc.
      commands
      requests for action / permission
      questions
  • Derivatives

    Words that are formed from existing words can also be confusing - sometimes the original spelling stays the same and sometimes it changes. Some to remember are:

     

     

    • Words ending in -our, e.g. honour, favour, labour, humour. Keep the u when you add -able or -er - e.g. honourable, favourable, labourer; favourite also keeps the u. But u is very often lost - e.g. before -ous, as in humorous, glamorous, rigorous; also in honorary and honorific.

       

       

    • Occur and occurrence but refer and reference. In verbs ending in -ur and -ur, double the r when you add -ence; leave it single if the verb ends in -er or -ear (appear and apparent).

       

       

    • Drop the o if you add -iation to a verb ending in -ounce. The most common example is pronunciation from pronounce.

    Shangri-La Bangkok

                On the banks of the Chao Phraya, Bangkok’s “River of Kings”, lies a hotel that has already set new standards of hospitality for this celebrated city. Set in magnificently landscaped tropical gardens, the Shangri-La Bangkok provides guests with all the charm and warmth of the Orient and, at the same time, and unsurpassed range of facilities and leisure activities. There is a choice of 12 superb settings in which to wine and dine, a large free-form swimming pool that overlooks the river, convention and meeting facilities for up to 2,000 people and a 24-hour business center. And, every single guestroom and suite, there is a breathtaking view of all the exotic hustle and bustle of the fabled “River of Kings”. One might expect such a well-equipped and positioned hotel to be miles away from the city centre, but at the Shangri-La Bangkok the business district and main shopping areas are mere minutes away. For more than 2000 years, bangkok’s grandeur has been reflected in the waters of the Chao Phraya. Today, the Shangri-La Bangkok towers beside this majestic river, offers its guests the golden promise of the East.

    dear sir/madam

    i'm ifa.. i wanna ask about in spite of, despite, although, in spite of the fact that, despite of the fact,

    i'm rather CONFUSED about that.. could you explain it to me??

     and please give me the example... but i hope that the example is not usual. like we often use.. the rainy rainy and bla bla

     

    ok that's all

    thank you... please reply me soon

    :D

     

    read this please

    Despite vs In spite of

    The English terms in spite of and despite are very similar in meaning and usage; in spite of this, English speakers sometimes find them confusing.
     

    Despite

    Despite means "even though," "notwithstanding," or "regardless of." It's the opposite of "because of/due to," and can be used with a noun or gerund.

    She had difficulty communicating in French despite all her years of study.

    We lost the game, despite the fact that we practiced all week.

    Despite not having an umbrella, I walked home in the rain.
     

    In spite of

    In spite of means exactly the same thing and is used exactly the same way as "despite."

    She had difficulty communicating in French in spite of all her years of study.

    We lost the game, in spite of the fact that we practiced all week.

    In spite of not having an umbrella, I walked home in the rain.

     
    The Bottom Line

    The English terms despite and in spite of are synonyms. Despite might be a tiny bit more formal, but the two terms are interchangeable. Just be careful not to say something like "despite of" or "in despite" - it's always either the three words in spite of, or just the single word despite.

    MacQuarie University
    Macquarie University is one of the largest universities in Australia. This year, in 2004, it celebrates its 40th anniversary. The university is located at the North Ryde Greenbelt, Sydney, where the New South Wales government sets aside 135 hectares for the institution. In 1964, Macquarie area was a rural retreat on the city fringe, but today the campus and its surroundings have evolved beyond recognition. The North Ryde District has grown into a district of intensive occupation anchored by a vibrant and growing university. Blessed with a fortunate location and room to breathe, Macquarie can be proud of that careful planning that retains and enrich the university’s most attractive natural features. A pleasing balance between buildings and plating is evident across the campus. This emphasis on the importance of landscape has created images of Macquarie as a place that members of the university are most likely to pleasurably recollect. One of the highlights of the landscape is the Mars Creek zone. It comprises landscaped creek sides and valley floor, a grass amphitheatre, and artificial lake… surrounded by rocks and pebbles, native plants and eucalypts. Today, a railway station is under construction. In three years1 time, Macquarie will be the only university in Australia with a railway station on site. Macquarie is poised to be the most readily accessible in Sydney region by rail and motorway, yet retaining its beautiful site.
