Global problems of today

People have lived on our planet Earth for centuries and global problems have· always existed. Today, there are more global problems which can be divided into two categories: ecological problems and social, economic and political issues.

The first category includes issues relating to ecological destruction, pollution and global warming as the result. The climate is changing and facing the planet. Many people think that a rise in temperature of about three or four degrees is not very much, but the effects are worse than it seems at first sight. Global warming has already killed off some types of animals and plants. There have been more and more heat waves in the summer, with many people dying in big cities. Rising sea levels are threatening whole nations on low-lying islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

The second category of global problems deals with social, economic and political issues. They include global terrorism, poverty, human rights, health issues, racism and many others .

We are faced with the problem of global terrorism and more and more countries are suffering from it. It is difficult to catch terrorists and prevent their acts.. However, new terrorist attacks have been committed. Many innocent people still get killed and nobody can stop terrorists.

Poverty is another global problem. It may seem surprising, but most of humanity lives on just a few dollars a day now. The worst situation is in Africa where people (mostly children) die every day of hunger because they have nothing to eat. The poor also have less access to health, education and other services. Problems of hunger, malnutrition and diseases affect the poorest in society.

We live in the 21st century and humanity has made a great progress in technology, so I think that it is strange that we still have global problems, especially the ones that deal with social, economic and political issues. I am sure that they can be solved completely without any conflicts or wars.

Give a talk about about TV

Remember to say:

• what kinds of films and programmes you like and

dislike

• what your favourite programmes are and why

• when and how many hours a week you watch TV

• how often you go to the cinema

I really like watching quite a lot of programmes on TV but absolutely love documentaries. I suppose they are

very interesting, thought-provoking and

educational. You can learn a lot

of things that you would need a great deal of time to

find out yourself by surfing the Net or looking up in

encyclopedias otherwise. the fun part lies to the fact

that you can find out amazing and sometimes

unbelievable things about the world around us. For

example, I was amazed to discover that the male

seahorse gives birth to the offspring and not the female

one.

On the other hand though, I hate watching talk shows or reality shows on TV.I find them so boring and silly. For me, they’re just a waste of time. I usually watch TV in

The evenings when I have done my homework, or

During the weekends when have more free time, and

to be honest, I sometimes spend a lot of hours in front of

a TVset. On average, I would say, I spend 10-12 hours per

week watching TV.

Although, I haven’t much free time, I like spending it

differently: reading books, surfing the Net and, of course,

hanging out with friends. We like getting together at weekends and going to the cinema and watching comedies or animated cartoons, especially if there is a new film.

Unfortunately, I can’t afford such entertainment very often

because of the lack of time and money.
