Pollution in developing city
Since the dawn of 21st century, it seems pollution is an unavoidable consequence caused by countries' development. Whether it can be prevented has been a recently hot debated issue. It is essential to elaborate both sides before I jump to my conclusion.
It may be true that severe air pollution cannot be avoided in developing cities .This is mainly because of the construction of new buildings that produce a vast number of toxic materials such as carbon dioxide and dust. In addition, to deal with constructed disposal, the fast way is incinerate them all, which also emits a host number of harmful materials into the air. Furthermore, noisy pollution, another serious issue that mankind is facing nowadays, is linked to an increasing number of populations with an increase in the amount of vehicles appearing. Noisy environments may cause long-term suffering and damage to a human-being’s hearing system and emotional function. Thus, this explains why more and more urban citizens are more easily prone to insomnia, depression and irritation when they live in developing cities.
Perhaps, there are some methods capable of preventing the pollution. To start with, relating authorities should encourage constructors to use less plastic and bubble materials to avoid the harmful gas they release into oxygen when disposing them after being used. Moreover, tree-plantation may be also a good way decrease noisy pollution. To illustrate, the natural mechanism within trees can absorb and block noisy transmissions in urban dwellings. Therefore, trees can greatly reduce noisy pollution to lower levels.
To sum up, Pollution is an unavoidable consequence for big cities due to the development demand. Seeking an alternative measure to tackle this thorny issue may become more important in the future. In my opinion, it is necessary that governments come up with policies while individuals take action to improve this problem.0 votedJune 4, 20150Environment!
Does the world a huge problem with the environment? I think so. I am sure that everybody pitch in to make a solution possible.
In my viewpoint, I see air pollution, river pollution , deforestation and several other problems in this planet. Many people dump waste in the river, we build factories near the sea, and contribute to more problems. We will have a serious problem in the future if we do not change the present.
In conclusion, I want to change this situation. I am going to try it for myself, for the planet, and for the future.0 votedJune 4, 20151It's certainly a beautiful language and it's hard to give the best reason. One of the reasons, for me, is that it's a big important part of my country's history and culture that should be treated with respect outside of Québec and New Brunswick. I live in Alberta where French is not as often spoken or written, but I want to be a part of my nation's history and culture. I want to experience culture around the globe and French seems to be the emerging language. Love it.

Different groups of people have opposing views about education. Many people are in favor of the idea that education abroad is better and is more prestigious. In my perspective, it depends on the person.
On one hand, education abroad has a lot of advantages and offer different opportunities. Firstly, education in Europe is well-known to be very good, because Europe has the oldest universities in the world and a lot of studying programs, so you can choose, what you are interested in and moreover, you become certified, which is valued in the whole world. Secondly, if you study abroad, you will definitely speak in a foreign language. It is not a secret. If you can speak other languages, you will have a good job and, moreover, a high paid job. Thirdly, you can explore another country. I think it’s a very good opportunity to travel.
On other hand, our country has good universities as Europe’s. Also we have some possibilities to study for free in comparison to studying abroad, where we, Russians, are hardly able to get any grants. Last, but not least, Russia is our native land. We can speak Russian, so it is more simple to study here, and study at two or more faculties, because it takes no time to translate and understand lectures and readings.
To sum up, everywhere you go, there are pros and cons. But for me it depends on the person. When you like to study and you study very well, you will get good and prestigious education anywhere.--
Great post! Keep it up. :)

Many others just eat fruit and peanut butter. My grandma is nice and makes me breakfast before I go to school / work and so I eat eggs usually for breakfast. :)

I am finally happy to learn languages. I found what I want to do for work. It took me a long time to make this choice but I am glad with it. It is rewarding to learn a language and be able to speak with someone in their own language. I will be able to travel a lot, too. It is a pastime I have always had, but now I will be able to speak with people in their own language. I have a goal, so my life is much more interesting. I would like to visit every country in the world to learn how people live and see the difference with your own perspective. It is very interesting.

The lecture and reading both discuss congestion pricing. While the reading offers the advantages of this policy, the lecture refutes this idea, point by point, saying this policy is not a better solution for the city.
First of all, the reading encourages people to use public transportation more often, like the bus and train. However, the lecture argues that public transportation is not extensive in all cities in the reading and it doesn't encourage the use of public transportation.
In addition, the reading makes the argument that by using this policy can commute the times to home so drivers decide to pay in peak time. In contrast, the lecture refutes this point by stating it is not the solution for commuting and people will be spending more time on it. Therefore, public transportation will be crowded.
Lastly, the passage in the reading argues that public transportation is the solution for the benefit of cleaner air, but the lecture dismisses this solution because transportation is expensive and more across the streets to cause more pollution.I'm sorry, I did my best to correct where I could and when I understood what was written. It seems you use many redundant words that take away from your argument. Keep on practicing. You're doing great! :)
