Hello Henry! It was a very pleasant session - I'm terribly sorry the camera didn't work, and I will have a look to see if there is anything I can do to change it. See you next time!

    start your own business You want to start your own business. Write a letter to a friend. In your letter: tell him/her about your business explain why you think it is a good idea and ask higher for some help or advice Dear Amanda, It was great to see you last week. I know I was a bit grumpy, having just been made redundant. You suggested I start my own business and at the time I thought your suggestion was ridiculous. However, I had a chat with my wife about it and she agreed with you. We decided the best business we could start would be a computer consultancy service, since I have worked with computers for a long time and know many people who require such a service. Yesterday, we visited our bank manager to discuss financing. The bank manager was sympathetic, but said that we hadn’t properly planned things out. Therefore, we’d like to ask you for some advice in this area, as you already have your own business and have already been through this. We don’t expect you to do this for free! My wife and I would be happy to pay you to help us prepare the necessary documents to convince our bank manager to provide us with a loan. I hope you can spare the time to help us and look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Henry and Tara

    Planting trees Some people think that it is more important to plant more trees in open area in towns and cities than provides more housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In recent 50 years have seen a considerable increase in the number of houses. However, some people argue that it is more important to plant trees in open area, instead of building houses. I agree with this view and I think we should encourage in planting trees especially in large cities. First,it is obvious that planting trees has a positive impact on our living environment. Trees are more common to find in suburban area, which could make the place more liveable for most people. Trees can absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen, thereby improving the air quality in cities. People living in cities planted plenty of trees are less likely suffer respiratory diseases caused by polluted air,smog and fumes. This is important because traveling by cars has become a major means of transport nowadays in most cities. Moreover, a large area with trees provides people with a ideal place for relaxing and entertainment. This is because that trees block the gale and cold in winter, and resist the heat in summer.For example, a square with plenty of trees near my house are normally full of people taking regular exercise and dancing there. Besides, people getting to close to the greenery can feel peace, which is beneficial to their mental healthy. However, this is not to say that there is no drawbacks of planting trees. By contrast, many cities today may face the problem of shortage of housing. This means that there is no more place for planting trees.More specifically, some of existing trees should be cut down in order to produce place for houses. In conclusion, planting trees can improve our living conditions and also provide a good place for people who participate in outdoor activities. So, it is important to plant more trees in cities although the shortage of land may present a dilemma for government.

    who can provide the best care for children? Grandparents or Childcare Centers

    Some working parents believe childcare centres can provide the best care fore children, others think other family members like grandparents can do. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

    Recent years have seen the development of childcare centers, so many young couples, especially those who do not have adequate time to take care of their children, choose to send their children to childcare centers instead of injuring their relatives to do so. I believe that this is a positive trend that should be encouraged if the service is affordable.

    Firstly,it is obvious that childcare centers are established for the purpose of taking care of children effectively and professionally. These centres usually recruit well-trained staff with related knowledge and skills, which can help children not only grow up healthily, but also cultivate them with good habits, great virtues as well as awareness of social skills. Moreover, with the staff’s professional company, parents can concentrate on their jobs and do not need to worry about their children everyday.

    However,this is not to say that our family members such as grandparents cannot look after the children. Comparing to the staff of childcare centers, it is undeniable that they can pay much attention and express their true love to the children. Furthermore, this kind of service is usually free, which can reduce the financial burden to the family. However, the young parents may hold different view with their family member about how to take care of children and this may cause conflicts and quarrels among them. The lack of professional experience and excessive love may also spoil children, thereby leading to adverse effect on them.

    In my opinion, it is a primary choice to send children to a childcare centers if the family could afford the expense of this service. This could give the children more professional help as well as better living environment. Of course, parents should entail hours staying with the children when they finish their work.

    More and more young people hold important positions in government.discuss vers and cons... With the economic developing,government need more people to involved the regulation of public activities. So,the numbers of young people who work fore government are boosting while they take more important part of the government working positions.Therefore,discussion about wether should young people to be a key role in government become more often. I will discuss them both as follows. Some of them think that youth should have chance to get more important role, Admittedly, elder people will have little energy to govern the society stuff and they may cannot concentrate in something easy.Whatever how long they work,they have the inevitable ending that means theyn need to retire in the end.Therefore, It is much better to take the young people in earlier. Moreover,young people always graduate from Universities and they may be well educated.They can bring fresh minds and technology of societ(society) management.In modern society,it cannot make rules and manage investment from apartment of government without new broaden vision and International opinions.This are the things which lack of from the old generation mangers. It sounds brilliont(brilliant),but we must pay much attention to the youth because of their humanity such like compulsive(impulse) ,no patient and no duty obligations.At the same time,the youth always have no practical experience while they always judge and process the stuffs as the books writing. Sometime,they may be too confidence which leads them make mistakes.At last ,occupation of government always be not well paid but governers(governors) due have power and authorities.It a very dangerous signal to older people that new manager focus on wealth,money and living stuffs while they just enter their career life in government.It may cause the economic criminals to youth. In sum,we need to give more chances to young people to involved in the government, but also need the elder and experienced people to give them right guide and direction.
