The job you would like to work in the future
I would like to be a heart surgeon. This is because I like to adapt to different
situations and meet different people. Also, I would like to continue to research new
treatments. A surgeon can make a difference to people's lives. It's a hard job-working
long hours in hospitals with the assistants and nurses around you all the time in the
operation rooms. I'm proud to be helping sick people to start a new life with healthy
hearts. Our surgeons, modern hospitals and intensive cares help to make Egyptians
healthier, and that will be good for our society and the coming generations.
Adventures
Mountaineering and mining are dangerous adventures. There are reasons why
people choose these dangerous actions. Climbing a great mountain is a lifelong
ambition. People climb dangerous mountains because they want to conquer something
during their life. A dangerous mountain is a challenge; when someone has climbed it,
they have reached their goal and they feel fantastic. In fact, a lot of climbers lost their
lives while climbing mountains. Similarly, adventurers risk going missing while
searching for treasures in' African deserts. Walking across a desert, some adventurers
may die of thirst. They may be captured or killed. On the contrary, others can take
enough diamonds to make them rich.
Global economy
People describe today's world as a global economy. Websites and email have made
it possible for companies of all sizes to sell their goods cheaply and quickly all over
the world. The global economy means that large international corporations can set up
in almost any location, employ local workers to produce goods there and trade with
other countries in the same region. The global economy also means that people can
buy goods from countries where wages are lower. This means that more people can
buy more goods, which in turn means that more people all over the world have jobs.
This is sometimes called a win-win situation, because everyone wins!
Healthy food
Many people believe that modified food is unnatural and fear that genetic
engineering may bring new diseases in the future. On the contrary, organic farming is
the best way to farm. The main reason is that some people don't like the idea of eating
fruit and vegetables that have been sprayed with pesticides. Pesticides can be
poisonous. In my opinion, we should improve the quality of the soil by adding natural,
organic fertilizers. But surely it's much quicker and easier for farmers to spray their
crops with chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farms don't produce the same
quantities as modern farms, so they do not make quite as much money.
Modern house
Today, technology affects how buildings are designed. Modern houses can be very
high-tech. Some buildings can be controlled from a mobile phone. So if the owners
are out, they can lock or unlock their doors, turn their lights on and off and even cook
their meals without being there themselves. Modern skyscrapers sometimes have
fantastic views from all the windows. Modern houses have air-conditioning, so it's
cool inside. Modern houses have a balcony, where you can sit out to read or have a
cup of tea. On the other hand, some prefer the traditional houses. These houses don't
have air-conditioning but the walls are thick, so it's cool inside.
Tourism in Egypt
Most travellers to Egypt visit the famous sites in Cairo and Upper Egypt, but the
country has many other interesting historical places. Sinai has some of the most
beautiful landscapes in Egypt. The monastery of St Catherine is located in the centre
of Sinai. Today, tourism is a huge business. Egypt makes a lot of money out of
tourism. Alexandria and Hurghada attract millions of tourists every summer! The
tourist industry employs thousands of people such as travel agents, hotel staff and
building workers. New hotels and roads will have to be built and new parks and
resorts will need to be planned.
A global issue
We have been adding gases like carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. These gases
increase the earth's temperature. The carbon dioxide is increasing mainly because we
burn fuels such as oil and gas. If the carbon dioxide continues to increase, sea levels
will rise and some parts of the world will be flooded. Countries must stop destroying
the rainforests and 1 produce less carbon dioxide. And, as individuals, we must all
reduce the; carbon dioxide we produce: people must use cars only when they have to J
or by turning down air conditioning in the summer. We could ban cars; from city
centres and make people use public transport. We could increase our use of energy
from wind, waves and the sun.
The internet
The fastest-growing areas of computer use are online shopping and internet
banking. To attract customers, many online shops and companies now have
interesting, user-friendly websites which make buying things easier than traditional
ways of shopping. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can order almost anything
you can find in ordinary shops. As well as being easier for people with busy lives,
internet shopping also helps people to look for things they cannot find in their own
area and to find them at the cheapest prices. You can get some really good bargains on
the internet. People are changing to internet banking. Now, many people are doing all
their banking activities online.
Reading
Reading is one of the pleasures of life and of the best ways of spending 1 our spare
time. 'A good book is a good friend'. This is true because reading makes us forget our
troubles and cares of everyday life. Besides, reading widens our knowledge. It also
makes us acquainted with many things we ignore about life and human nature.
Reading provides us with a background about various subjects that help us in our
practical life. A person who has a lot of knowledge attracts people's attention to him
when he speaks or discusses any subject. Thus he becomes a prominent personality in
his society and gets the respect of all people. We cannot do without books which you
refer to whenever you like.
How a youth serves his country
The progress of any nation depends on its youth. They work for the good of their
country. A youth can take part in the industrial and agricultural projects. They can also
help stamp out illiteracy. They sacrifice their lives for their country in time of wars. In
fact, the youth must avoid bad habits. They should avoid smoking and practise sports
to ' become fit. They should not waste their time sitting at cafes all the time. They
should read and log onto the internet to get useful information. The youth are
tomorrow's leaders, so the government is greatly interested in them.
Organ of Transplant
The great advances in the organ transplant have resulted in saving lives. People
who need an organ transplant often have to wait a long time 'or one. Doctors must
match donors to receivers to reduce the risk of transplant rejection. People who have
transplants must take drugs the rest If their lives to help keep their bodies from
rejecting the new organ. However, organ transplants raise many religious problems
because these organs are not theirs. They are given from God. Others see that trade in
organs is a deal between two adults, and that prohibiting it would be against human
rights. Despite these differences, organ transplants are still carried legally or illegally
in some countries of the world.
Over population
Over-population is a serious problem because it threatens our development plans.
Over-population devours all the productions of the country. It also causes pollution
because the more people are, the more pollution is. Ignorance is one cause of this
problem. People are not usually aware of the terrible results of this problem. We must
do something to overcome it. The government must carry out industrial and
agricultural projects to increase production. Family planning is one of the best means
solve our economic problems. Moving to the new cities away from the over-populated
areas is also a good solution. In fact, people need· enough awareness.
Hobbies
We should practise something different from our normal work to make our life
cheerful and pleasant. It is very important for us to have our own hobbies. Hobbies
give you a chance to spend our time in a useful and pleasant way. In fact, there are
various kinds of hobbies and we have own hobbies which suit our tastes. Playing
games, collecting stamps, playing music, chatting and painting are all interesting
hobbies and of great benefit to us. In fact, our hobbies help us to be sociable and at the
same time very popular. It often happens that a hobby paves the way for us to become
famous. So hobbies are not a waste of time but a way of earning our living.
Football Team
The national football team gave Egypt much joy. Cooperation was the feature of
the Egyptian football team which was never matched by any opponent team. It was
about team work, how the sum is greater than the parts, how victory owed everything
to teamwork. Egyptians react to football victories because that is the magic of football
throughout the world. It's a game where you find freedom of speech and the right to
gather. These are the elements of a sound society. Now that the championship and
street ceremonies are over, many fans have no other choice but to return to normal
life. Officials should take advantage of the sense of loyalty and nationalism found in
young people and try to bring them into the service of their country with all their
enthusiasm.
Our monuments
It was an important step for Egyptian heritage to remain when antiquity trafficking
is banned. Laws have been passed to impose the hard penalties for trafficking. The
law prohibits all antiquity trading and cancels the 10 per cent unearthed goods
previously granted to the foreign excavation missions that discovered them. An
antiquity is every building or object that is a product of art, science or religion on the
Egyptian soil from prehistoric era up to 100 years before present time. In this way,
tourists will increase and so will our economy. This will help to make Egypt richer,
and that will be good for our children and our grandchildren.
Diseases
Nowadays we hear about strange species of diseases infecting people. Examples of
these diseases are avian flu and swine flu. They infect people especially youngsters
and holders of immunodeficiency. Some scientists warn us of the future side effects of
genetic engineering and of the diseases resulting from it. Also, when the whole globe
is getting in touch with one another, diseases may spread and cases of deaths will
increase. Diseases from space are probably the least serious now, but of course they
may become a problem if space travel increases. Crichton, for example, writes about
humans being infected by germs from space. It is science which makes problems and
must find solutions to them.
Recycling
Recycling has become the feature of the age. It is a way of reusing articles after
giving their original purposes. Almost every article can be recycled: paper, cans,
bottles, tyres, cars and the like. Recycling reduces 50% of the new production.
Recycling has a lot of benefits. It gives a lot of job opportunities. It helps reduce
rubbish to a great extent. As a result, our environment will be healthy. Recycling
teaches us how to protect our environment. Both developed and developing countries
are interested in recycling. In short, recycling helps a lot in making us feel the value of
objects.
