In the world today, particularly in the two most induatrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to
the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling
movement is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stories, a shopper has to buy products in blisters packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A humburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually
paper, a box and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are
wrapped simply, and reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products.
When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones- a loss of more
resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired,
the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less
packaging, that customer sends an important message to manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway
must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they can return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the

bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps
have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used
again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can
as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans),
they help save one of the world’s precious resources.

Our eyes and ears might be called transformers because they sense the light and sound around us and
turn them into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret. These electrical impulses that have been
transformed by the eyes and ears reach the brain and are turned into messages that we can interpret. For the
eye, the process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the cornea and lens, and then focuses
them on the retina. At the back of each eye, nerve fibers bundle together to form optic nerves, which join and
then split into two optic tracts. Some of the fibers cross so that part of the input from the right visual field goes
into the left side of the brain, and vice versa. The process in the ear is carried out through sensory cells that
are carried in fluid- filled canals and that are extremely sensitive to vibration. Sound that is transformed into
electricity travels along nerve fibers in the auditory never. These fibers form a synapse with neurons that carry
the messages to the auditory cortex on each side of the brain.

II. Topic: Classes are really good for ones who attend? Discuss your opinion about this matter.
Nowadays, it becomes a heatedly debated topic whether a student should be required to attend classes
or not. Some people hold the opinion that the university students should be required to go to classes. However,
others have a negative attitude. If I were forced to agree with one of the two positions, I would stand behind
the latter. My Arguments for this point are listed as follows. I agree with the statement that going to classes
should be optional for university students without reservation since I believe a student is supposed to attend
those classes he or she is interested in.
Naturally, interest is the mother of study. When attracted by a wonderful class, you will attend it
unforcedly and immediately. Nevertheless, not all classes are so popular in reality and no one has interest in
every class. Consequently, you should select the classes you like to attend for a higher efficiency of studying.
It can be given a good example, in current universities, many excellent students almost have the record of
skipping some boring and undesirable classes.
Another reason that can be seen by everyone is that it contributes to build a university student's ability
of learning by himself or herself. Obviously, by choosing good and meaningful classes, giving up those
undesirable, or studying these classes you cannot attend somehow by yourself, you will learn how to distribute
your study time and acquire the capability of learning by yourself, which is tremendously important to modern
university students. Many celebrities, such as Bill Gates, have such powerful ability by not attending some
classes when they were in university.

Admittedly, being required to attend classes has advantages of disciplining the student, however,
considering most university students can discipline themselves on their own, I believe it is sagacious to agree
with that going to classes should be optional for college or university students.
