SECTION 4: NUCLEAR -OTHERS
1. To what extent is nuclear technology a danger to life on Earth?
What are the benefits and risks associated with its use?
\ \comprehensive site\task1-task2.htm
These days, many people are afraid of nuclear technology because
of the dangers associated with its use. In my opinion, although it is
true that nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat to life, the use of
nuclear technology for peaceful purposes also carries some serious
risks.
Nuclear power stations provide an important source of cheap power
for many industrialized nations and some developing countries.
However, there is always the danger of radiation leaking from these
plants. Even though safety precautions are taken, there have been
numerous disasters such as the explosion of a nuclear plant in
Russia not long ago.
Nuclear technology is even used to help cure some diseases such as
cancer. Radiation can be applied to the body to burn away cancerous
cells. This is, however, a dangerous procedure, and the application of
radiation is almost always painful and not always successful.
The most worrying aspect of nuclear technology, though, is its use for
military purposes. Enough atomic bombs have already been built to
completely destroy the planet, and the real danger is that one day
some country will start a war with these weapons. Too many
countries now have the technology required to make such bombs,
and there is currently much debate about how to control the situation.
In conclusion, nuclear technology certainly has positive uses, but is,

nonetheless, dangerous. However, it would have been better if it had
never been used to create nuclear weapons. If life on earth is to
continue, all the nuclear nations of the world should agree to disarm
as soon as possible.
2. Topic64:The threat of nuclear weapons maintains world
peace. Nuclear power provides cheap and clean energy. The
benefits of nuclear technology far overweigh the disadvantages.

specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Who would disagree with the statement “progress is good”? withour
progress, there would be no change. Without progress, there would
be no change in our economy, our standard of living, or our health.
Progress is required to keep the economy moving forward. New
products need to be developed; new services need to be created.
Withour progress, our economy would stand still. There would be no
change. Without progrees, there would be no supermarkets with fresh
produce brought in from all over the world.
Progress is required to improve our standard of living. Our homes
today are more efficient and use less natural resources thanks to
improvement in home construction techniques. Our clothes are
warmer and safer thanks to developments in textile manufacturing.
Our educational system is better thanks to the use of the computer
and the internet.

Progress is required to improve the health of the world population.
Without progress, there would be no vaccine against deadly disease
like smallpox. Without progressm there would be increased infant
mortality. Thanks to progress our lives are longer and healthier.
Progress is a natural state. Without it, we would not evolve. Without
it, out economy, our standard of living, and our health would
deteriorate. Who could deny the neccesity of progress?The 21st
century has begun. 1. What changes do you think this new century
will bring? Use examples and details in your answer. TOEFL148
Now that we are in a new millenium, we can assume there will be
changes in the world. I predict that the changes will be in the areas of
information dissemination global alliances, and family structure.
In the past decades, the computer was responsible for changing the
way information was organized. Now the computer plus the internet is
changing the way information is spread. information will now be
universally available to anyone with a computer. You will not have to
go to libraries to do research. You will not have to travel to visit
scholars, you will not have to go to a bookstore to buy a book. You
can do all of this from your home on the computer.
In the past decadesm the nations of the world aligned themselves
with the United states, the former Soviet Uniion, or with one another
in a loose alliance. In the future these alliances will be move fluid.
Some countries will align politically with one country but economically
with another. Some countries will share technology and other
informatio, but will not trade together. Some countries, which have
long been enemies, will align militarily for regional security.
The family structure will not be based on a mother/father/child patern.
Single parent families will be more common and often the child will
bot be a biological child of a single parent, but will be adopted. Other
family structures like domestic partnerships will become more

accepted.
Whatever the changes may be, whether in the way we receive
information, the way nations align one another, or the way family
units are defined, you can be sure that there will be more change.
Change is a constant.
6. The twentieth century saw great change. In your opinion, what
is one change that should be remembered about the twentieth
century? Use specific reasons and details to explain your
choice. TOEFL130
There have been many changes both technological and cultural in the
twentieth century. I believe that outstands out above the rest:
advances in medical science. The changes in medical science go
together with the chagnes in technological and cultural areas. One
can move ahead only with the help of the other. We can see the
results of medical advances in three areas: development of vanccines
and antibodies expanded access to health care and improved
surgical techniques.
7. Topicp62: some government are now spending trillions of
dollars constructing human colonies in space. This is a huge
waste of money on an unrealistic idea…Pd (2)
8. Some people think governments should spend as much
money as possible exploring outer space (for example, traveling
to the Moon and to other planets). Other people disagree and
think governments should spend this money for our basic needs
on Earth. Which of these two opinions do you agree with? Use
specific reasons and details to support your answer. TOEFL
9. Atomic energy is the best source for the world’s growing
energy needs.
