(1)TOPIC FOR WRITING CLASS 9 ---------------------------------------------COMPOSITION 1. A visit ( a trip) to HCM city Every year my family have a visit to somewhere. Last summer was not exception. My parents took us to HCM city on Sunday . Our journey started at about 4:00 AM on that day. My father hired a car to go because going by car was both faster and more comfortable. Two hours later, we arrived in HCM city. The thing that surprised me was that there were too people and too much traffic on the streets. The buildings were high and beautiful. First, the driver took us to the zoo where there were animals, birds, fish and hippos, monkeys. It’s interesting to look at monkeys eating bananas. Then we went to Tao Dan botanical garden where there were lots of shadows . It’s comfortable to go for a walk there. After that we went to Reunification Palace where colonel Nguyen Thanh Trung bombed in 1975.While I was looking at interesting furniture in this building suddenly I heard a loud voice behind me , it’s was my father’s voice. He told that it was time to go home. We hurried to return to parking lot. The driver took us come back home,. I arrived home at 6:00 PM . I felt happy and enjoyed that trip very much. I hope I will have a chance to go to HCM again some next summer. 2. A visit (a trip) to the countryside Every year whenever summer comes I usually have a visit to somewhere. Last Summer was not exception. Last Summer my class held a visit to Ngu hiep village on Sunday. On that day I got up very early. We went there by bike. When we rode on the road , we saw many tall trees, beautiful houses, people . What a lovely sight! It took me about 20 minutes to go there. Before reaching Ngu Hiep village I had a chance to sit on the ferry crossing Tien river. The water in the river is very clean and crystal. When reaching I felt comfortable. The air was fresh and cool there. There were a lot of fruits there such as durians, plum, mango, …Especially, durians are very delicious in Ngu Hiep villages. Then my friend, Lan took us to her uncle’s house and we had lunch there. We also went a walk around . The sights were wonderful there .People were very friendly and hospitable. And finally it’s time for us to go home. We came home at about 5:00 PM . I felt happy and enjoyed that trip very much. I hope I will have a chance to come back there again next year..

(2) 3. A picnic Whenever we have free time, my class holds a picnic . Last Sunday I with my classmates had a picnic at my friend’s house, Lan in the countryside. It was a fine day last Sunday. We went to Lan’s house by bike. All of us were five members. We started to go at 5:00 o’clock in the morning. It took us about an hour and a half to go her house. When we arrived, Lan prepared everything carefully. Her parents were very happy when we came. I was surprised that there were lots of food on the table. I asked Lan who made and Lan answered her mother did. After having breakfast, we played games “ What song is it” and “ blind man’s buff”. Then we went fishing in the river behind Lan’s house and went for a walk around . At noon we had lunch in the garden with bread, soft drink, snack and lots of kinds of fruits. We continued to enjoyed our picnic till the evening. At 6:30 PM we hurried gathered things to go home. I enjoyed that picnic very much. It was short, however, it helped us very much . It helps me relaxed after a hard working week and know more about people and places of our country. 4. A letter from….. Dear…., I arrived in Nha Trang at 4:00 AM yesterday morning. Thanh met me at the train station and then he took me home by his motorbike. Nha Trang is a quiet and beautiful city. It has a long coastline with beautiful white sandy beaches. I went to the beach very early this morning and enjoyed the sunrise far out in the sea. Yesterday morning Thanh and Hoai took me to the Tri Nguyen Aquarium. It’s very interesting to see many different kind of fish and sea creatures. I’ve also visited many interesting places like Cham Temple, Aquarium, Pasteur Institute. I’ve taken part in some fascinating out door activities: mud bathing snorkeling. and scuba. diving. Tomorrow we are going to spend the evening visiting a fishing village where we can get a taste of the local seafood. I feel so happy and enjoy myself so much. The people here are so nice and friendly, the food is excellent and the sights are very beautiful. I’ll leave Nha Trang at 4PM on Saturday and will arrive home at 5AM on Sunday. Please pick me up at the train station Love 5. Talk about your close friend.

(3) At school I have a lot of friends but my close friend is Nam. Nam is tall and handsome. He is the same age as me. He is my classmate. His house is near my house. Nam is very friendly and helpful. He often helps me with difficult problem whenever I need. Nam studies very well. He always gets good marks. Nam is not only a good boy at school but also a good son in his family. He usually does chores to help his mother. He is loved very much by his teachers, parents, and friends. They are always proud of him. Nam is in deed my close friend. I like him very much, I hope my friendship lasts forever. 6. Uniforms I think it’s necessary for secondary students to wear uniforms when they are at school because of the following reasons. Firstly, wearing uniforms encourages students to be proud of being students of their school because they are wearing the uniforms with labels bearing their school’s name. Secondly, wearing uniforms helps students feel equal in many ways, whether they are rich or poor Finally, wearing uniforms is practical. we don’t have to think of what to wear every day. Therefore, Students in secondary schools should wear uniform. 7.Casual clothes( unit 2) I think it’s necessary for secondary students to wear casual clothes when they are at school because of the following reasons. Firstly, wearing casual clothes make students feel comfortable. It’s easy for them to travel Secondly, wearing casual clothes gives students freedom of choice about size, colors and fashion... Nextly, wearing casual clothes makes students feel self-confident when they are in their favorite clothes and makes school more colorful and lively Therefore, Students in secondary schools should wear casual clothes. 8.Your favorite clothes As you know everyone has their own favorite clothes. For me, I like wearing jeans and T shirt best because of the following reasons. Firstly, when I wear jeans and T shirt I feel comfortable. I can travel easily. I feel more confident when I talk to everyone. Secondly, wearing jeans and T shirt is very convenient. I don’t have to spend time ironing clothes everyday..

(4) Secondly, jeans and T shirt are always fashionable clothes. Wearing them makes us look younger, healthier and more beautiful. On the other hand, nowadays there are a lot of shops selling fashionable jeans and T shirt everywhere. It’s easy for us to buy jeans and T shirt at a low price. In conclusion, I like wearing jeans and T shirt very much. In the future if I have more money, I will buy more jeans and T shirt to wear. 7.What is your favorite subject? At school I have studied many subjects but I like studying English best because of the following reasons. Firstly, English is one of my compulsory subjects. If we don’t learn English well, we can’t pass the exam to study in the upper class. Secondly, I like studying English because English is an international language. Knowing English I can speak to people all over the world. I can read newspapers and watch program on television in English and can understand interesting English songs. Last but not least, studying English well gives us chances to get jobs with good salary. It gives us opportunities to improve our life. In conclusion, English is useful and interesting language. I will try my best to study English better and better. It’s my ambition. I hope it will become true. 8. What do you do in your free time? Everyone has own hobby in their free time. Some like reading . Others like going for a walk. For me, I like watching television in my free time because of the following reasons. 9. What is your favorite media? Nowadays there are a lot of media in life. Some likes reading newspapers. Others like accessing the Internet. For me I like watching television because of the following reasons. Firstly, watching television gives us information about every aspect in our life. It helps us know what is happening everywhere all over the world and widen our knowledge . Secondly, watching television is a cheap mean for relaxing .It’s comfortable to watch interesting film or listen to music at home. Nextly, through watching television we can know how to protect our health thanks to health program for everyone. In conclusion, watching TV is an useful form of relaxing. But we shouldn’t spend much time watching it we should take more time for our study. 10. What is your favorite media? ( unit 5) 10.1 Advantage of the internet.

(5) As you know nobody can deny the benefits of the internet in our modern life. In deed, the internet brings us the following benefits. Firstly, the internet is a source of information. It is a very fast and convenient way for us to get information about every aspect from our daily life to scientific fields. Secondly, by using internet we can relax after a hard working day. We can listen to interesting music, favorite songs , enjoy exciting football matches, films, games or read newspaper on line. Besides by using internet we can communicate with our friends and relatives through chatting or using email. Finally, thanks to internet we can have education but we don’t have to go to school or colleges because Internet helps us have on line school, on line lessons and self taught. In conclusion, the internet is very useful for us. However, we shouldn’t spend too much time for it and we should be careful while surfing the web. 10.2 Disadvantage of the internet Nobody can deny that the internet brings us a lot of advantages. However, it also gives us lots of the following disadvantages. Firstly, It takes us time to use. We must spend hours getting information. Besides we also spend money accessing it. Secondly, if we use the internet, our personal information such as our name, address can be accessed by the others Nextly, there are lots of bad programs on the internet such as sexual films, motor- races, violent films. These programs can be easily found and badly influence on the children. In conclusion, all of us should be aware of that internet is very useful for us but it also has lots of disadvantages so while surfing the web be alert! 11. PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT Nowadays our environment is polluted seriously so protecting our environment is our duty. For me we can protect our environment in the following ways. Firstly, we can use leaves to wrap food , reuse and recycle bottles and cans to reduce garbage Secondly, we shouldn’t throw trash onto the water to keep water cleaner put garbage bins around the school yard to prevent lazy students from throwing trash and to keep the schoolyard clean. Nextly, we should go to school or to work on foot or by bicycle to reduce exhaust fume to keep our air cleaner. In conclusion, it’s time for us to talk about environmental problem.

(6) 12. SAVING ENERGY As you know our energy has limitation so saving energy is also our duty. For me, we can save energy in the following ways. Firstly, to save energy we should turn off all electric appliances such as lights, fans , air conditioners, gas stoves when we don’t use them. Secondly, we should turn off the faucets when we go out because a dripping faucet can waste 500 liters of water a month. Finally, we should go to school or go to work on foot or by bicycle or use public transport to save petrol and money. We should also have a mechanic check our motorcycle regularly. In short, saving energy is essential problem that we must do immediately now if we want to preserve our natural resource of the earth 13. CELEBRATIONS Write a passage about if it’s necessary to have a day for dad and another for mom? Why? ( unit 8) This morning I just learned a lesson about father’s Day. It was really interesting. In Vietnam, however, people do not celebrate. Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. In my opinion. It’s necessary to have a day to celebrate for mom and another for dad. There are lots of reasons for celebrating these days but the main reasons are the children will have a special day to express their feelings , their memories and their love to their parents. In addition , we’ll have an opportunity to enhance family traditions as well as a chance to get members of families together in order to bring them closer. I think Sunday is the most suitable day for celebrating . It is free from work or study. It’s not necessary to have parties but it’s a good idea to have lunch or dinner with all family members. In this special day, children should serve their parents with food they like best and offer them flowers, cakes or special gift and cards. I believe my idea will be supported and the day for our parents will be celebrated nationwide someday. 14. NATURAL DISASTERS PREPARE BEFORE THE TYPHOON COMES Typhoon is one of the natural phenomenon. The scientists can predict when it happens. However , it sometimes happens suddenly so preparing well before the typhoon comes is very necessary and practical. For me the things we need to do before typhoon comes are..

(7) Firstly, we should buy some canned food and some candles and matches because when typhoon comes the market will be closed and no food will be available and there may be a power cut. Secondly, we should fill with buckets with water because when typhoon comes, the water pipes may be damaged. Nextly, we should fix the leak in the roof and tie the roof to the Ground and pegs and ropes and check the windows and door latches because when typhoon comes it will be rainy and windy. In conclusion, preparing before the typhoon comes is our duty if we want to have a good life in areas where disasters often happen. 15. LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS 15. 1 . PREPARE FOR THE SPACE TRIP Perhaps travelling to the space is everyone’s wish. If we decide to take the trip to the space , we will have to get ready a few months before the flight. I think the things we need to prepare to have a trip to space are. First of all, we must have a million dollars to buy things we need such as aircraft, personal things and many other things. Secondly, we must have a good health and to have it, we must run a lot, swim everyday, do aerobics and push- ups and we must also get a letter from the doctor that show we are in perfect health. Last but not least, we must be a good traveler, we must get used to being in the situation of weightless condition. We aren’t vomited or dizzied when we are in orbit of the earth... To have all of these things, we should do exercise very much every day. In conclusion, it’s very interesting to have a trip to space and it’s very difficult to have that trip so if you will able to take a space trip , you know what you must do. 15.2 . THE THING YOU SEE WHEN YOU HAVE A SPACE TRIP. Perhaps travelling to the space is everyone’s wish. I think if we get on the space trip , we will able to see wonderful things. In fact, once we get on the trip, we will be in different world. You will see pictures of the Earth. We may also find our country and other interesting places. We will be able to see the oceans, the big rivers, the tall mountains. We will be able to see them many times because we will orbit the Earth 16 times a day! We will also be able to see stars that we couldn’t see from the Earth..

(8) Besides, when we are in orbit, you will be able to get out of our seat and walk in the cabin. We will be able to walk on the wall or on the ceiling like in a circus. We will not weigh anything! We will feel totally free and enjoy the wonderful feeling we have never had before. We really experience those marvelous things when we are on the board. In conclusion, it’s very interesting to have a trip to space . Do you want to have it? Start to dream now and your dream may come true some day. 16. “Should teachers give pupils much homework?” Write a composition to express your idea on this. (You should write within 200 - 220 words) I believe that much homework is not necessary. Pupils already spend most of the day in school. They need their time outside of school to do other things. They need time to spend with their family, to work, and to just relax. They can learn their lessons with homework two or three exercises a day, but much homework isn’t necessary. All pupils need to spend time with their families. They are still young and they need the guidance and support their parents can give them. They need the companionship of their brothers and sisters . In addition, many families rely on their older children to help out at home. They take care of the younger children and help with the cooking and cleaning. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for their families. Many high school pupils have jobs. They go to their jobs after school and on weekends. Some work in order to help their families. Others works to save money for college. Pupils’ jobs are very important to them. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have enough energy to go to work. Pupils need time to relax. They study hard in school all day and many works at jobs after school. But they are still young. They need to spend their time with their friends and have fun. When pupils relax with friends, they then have more energy for school and work. They have a chance to develop social skills or to pursue their own interests. Having free time is important for a child’s development. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for relaxation. In conclusion, I think homework is important for pupils, but other things are important, too. Some homework is good, but much homework can take time away from a pupil’s family, job, and relaxation. There needs to be a balance. Therefore, teachers shouldn’t give pupils much homework..

Circle best option A, B, C or D to answer following questions (0.2 x 5 = 1.0pt) The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference - now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year - for example strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons. Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh - so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them - they miss real life. 1.

It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to go to the museums, but Jill wants to see more of the beautiful traditional churches.

This allows us to get the most sight-seeing done during our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops, too. Jill likes sitting outsite and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell of the coffee. French coffees are so much more aromantic and stronger than the coffee we are used to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Love, Freddy and Jill.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answers (A, B, C, or D). (2.0 pts) After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes. 81. The word "foresaw" is nearest in meaning to ................

Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference - now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year - for example strawberries in June and turnipsin winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons. Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh - so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them - they miss real life. 1.

In fact, recycling or re-using steel cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new steel products. After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by those who empty your dustbin each week and taken to a tip or dump, together with all the other household rubbish. Then the rubbish is stored and the steel cans are taken separately to a special factory which then find its way back into your home in the form of knives and forks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans. So the next time you open your favourite drink, just remember where your can may have been! 1. What is the writer trying to do in the text? A. advertise canned drinks. B. describe the steel industry.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.(0.1 x 10 = 10 pt) Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitude near the poles, and because the nature of heart is to expand and move, Heat is transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes. Some of this heat is moved by winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of latent heat. The term “latent hear” refers to the energy that has to be used to convert liquid water to water vapor. We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will evaporate, or turn into vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature. We also know that if we hang wet clothes outside in the summertime they will dry faster than in winter, when temperatures are colder. The energy used in both cases to change liquid water to water vapor is supplied by heat – supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case. This energy is not lost. It is stored in water vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat. Eventually, the water stored as vapor in the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be release to the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun’s incoming energy is used to evaporate water, primarily in the tropical oceans. Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun’s energy. By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent of the Sun’s energy. Once this latent heat is stored within the atmosphere, it can be transported, primarily to higher latitudes, by prevailing, large-scale winds. Or it can be transported vertically to higher levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the energy back to the atmosphere. 1.. 2..

( 5 pts ) Every four to ten years something happens to the weather system of the Earth. Everything changes, and scientists don’t know why. The low - pressure area moves toward the east, the high - pressure area is very weak, and the winds blow toward the east. A great pile of warm surface water moves toward South America. People call this “ EL Nino”. It usually happens at Christmas time, and EL Nino is the Spanish name for the baby Jesus. Usually the effects of EL Nino are very mild. However, the one that started in 1982 was different from the other recent ones. It had a very powerful effect on the world’s climate. It caused huge changes in the ocean currents. It caused floods in some areas and droughts in others. There were terrible windstorms and huge ocean waves swept houses into the sea. EL Nino did billions of dollars worth of damage. Thousands of people lost their lives and thousands of others were left homeless. In 1983, the winds, ocean currents, and pressure areas started to become normal again. Meanwhile, scientists throughout the world organized research to learn more about EL Nino. They are using satellites and research boats to observe the atmosphere and the ocean. It is a very complicated problem, but if the scientists of the world work together, they should be able to learn the causes of EL Nino. Then they will be able to predict what will happen and work to prevent a repeat of the death and destruction of 1982 - 1983. 1.

At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. “It’s better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,” Jack argued. In the end we gave in. “All right,” we said, “but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbors when you play.” That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members of Jack’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical instruments. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing. At least Jack’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practicing, my husband and I go for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill – after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager. Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always stressing to Jack how important his studies are. 76. What is the writer trying to do in the text? A. complain about her son’s friends B. give advice to teenagers C. describe her son’s hobby D. compare herself with her parents.

(65) 77. Why did the writer give Jack the present he wanted? A. She wanted to reward him for working hard. B. He already had too many computer games. C. She knew he would use it sensibly. D. He persuaded her it would be a good idea. 78. Why do the band always practice at Jack’s house? A. It is difficult for Jack to move his drums. B. The neighbors don’t mind the noise. C. Jack’s parents enjoy listening to them. D. They can leave their equipment there. 79. What does the writer say about the band members? A. Their influence on her son worries her. B. Their taste in music is different from hers. C. They play their instruments well. D. They avoid any contact with her. 80. What might the writer say to her son? A. Your teacher has just phoned. He wants to know why you weren’t at school today. B. When are you playing at the club next? Dad and I would love to come along again. C. If you don’t know what to do with yourself, there’s a good program on the television in a few minutes. D. Are you sure you’ve finished your homework? It’s more important than band practice.

Read the following passage and answer the questions from 1 to 5 by choosing A, B, C or It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accents. Unlike children, who are flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top or smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation. One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking students often need to be exposed to English outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students to pick up new vocabulary as well as improve their accents. International students can also learn important cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that may occur when people from different cultures live together. However, living with someone from another culture can be difficult. International students are usually excited when they first show up at their new homes, but after a few months they may start to think about their home countries and get homesick. Students who are homesick get depressed quickly. They might cry a lot or want to be alone. This makes it difficult for them to make friends and learn English. 1 According to the passage, it seems that..................... A. all that the students need to improve their pronunciation is to practice more outside the classroom B. attending a pronunciation class can be very helpful to adult learners who have problems with their pronunciation. C. most younger students cannot change their pronunciation.

Many students feel depressed because they cannot improve their pronunciation. C. On their arrival, most international students may forget about the problems because they are very excited. D.

(80) Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present. Both Jill and I have always wanted to go to France and visit the many museums. We were so shocked when we first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to go to the museums, but Jill wants to see more of the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we decided to see the churches in the morning (when the weather is cool), and the museums in the afternoon (because they’re air-conditioned). This allows us to get the most sight-seeing done during our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops, too. Jill likes sitting outsite and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell of the coffee. French coffees are so much more aromantic and stronger than the coffee we are used to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Love, Freddy and Jill 1.

Freddy is an outdoor person, and Jill is an indoor person. D. Both Freddy and Jill are indoor people. 3. Why did they decided to visit the museum in the afternoon? A. The art is better in the afternoon. B. They could get a discounted price in the afternoon. C. The museums are closed in the mornings. D. The weather is hot and the museums have air conditioning. 4. How long was their trip? A. The reading does not say B. One week C. Two weeks D. One month 5. Freddy likes sitting inside the coffee shops…………………………. A. because he enjoys the smell of French coffee.

As a result, it is becoming extremely difficult to grow enough to feed the world's rapidly increasing population. A way of protecting all wild life on the earth must also be found as many species are in danger of disappearing completely from the face of the earth.

Look no further than solar energy from our sun. At present , most of our electricity comes fromthe use of coal, gas, oil, or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide for the total population. Many countriesare already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the sun’s energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy too..
