Endangered Animals 1
Endangered animals are animals that are decreasing in number and may soon die out.
Examples of endangered animals are sharks and elephants.
More than 100 million sharks are killed every year for trading in shark fins. Shark
finning is the act of cutting off fins and throwing the rest of the shark back into the sea. Since 5
Asian people like eating shark fins, it is difficult to stop people from hunting sharks.
There are around 50,000 Asian Elephants left in the world. The number of them is
falling because their habitat is shrinking, and many of them are hunted for their tusks and
skin. The tusks of the elephants are good for craftwork. In 1989, the United Nations imposed
a 10-year ban on trading the tusks. However, some countries still continue to hunt elephants 10
for their tusks.
People should know how important it is to protect wildlife, or we will suffer from
losing many amazing wild animals in the future.

Social etiquette refers to the set of rules or customs that guide how people interact in social

settings. In the past, these rules were not often strict and formal. For example, people used to

write letters to express their gratitude, and it was considered rude to interrupt someone while

they were speaking. People also dressed formally for most occasions, whether they were

attending a party or visiting someone’s home.

Today, social etiquette is still important, but it has become more relaxed. Modern technology,

like smartphones and social media, has changed the way people communicate. Instead of letters,

people send quick messages or emails. It is now more acceptable to be informal in many

situations, although there are still basic manners to follow, such as saying "please" and "thank

you," respecting personal space, and being polite when using your phone in public. ✔

In the future, social etiquette will likely to continue to evolve. As society becomes more

connected globally, people will need to adapt to different cultural norms and ways of interacting.

We might see new rules develop around how to behave in virtual spaces or how to manage our

digital identities. No matter how much the world changes, the need for respect and consideration

in our interactions will always remain ^a key part of social etiquette.

Title: Running a Family Business 1

[1] Running a family business offers several advantages that can lead to both professional
success and personal satisfaction. First, family businesses often have strong values and
traditions. These shared beliefs help create a clear vision and mission, guiding the company
toward long-term success. Everyone involved is usually committed to preserving the family 5
name and legacy, which strengthens motivation.

[2] Second, communication tends to be more open in a family business. Family members
often have a better understanding of one another, which can lead to smoother teamwork and
faster decision-making. This can create a more efficient work environment compared to
businesses where relationships are strictly professional. 10

[3] Third, trust is a key factor in family-run companies. Since the employees are family,
there is a built-in level of trust that is not always present in other businesses. This reduces the
need for constant supervision and allows for greater flexibility and collaboration.

[4] Another benefit is the long-term planning that family businesses often prioritise. Since
the business is seen as a part of the family’s future, decisions are usually made with long- 15
term goals in mind, promoting stability and sustainability.

[5] In conclusion, running a family business offers advantages such as shared values, strong
communication, high levels of trust, and long-term planning, all of which contribute to the
success and longevity of the company.

Title: Running a Family Business 1

[1] Running a family business can present several difficulties that may affect both the
company’s performance and personal relationships. First, conflicts among family members
are common. Disagreements about the business can become personal, leading to tension at
both work and home, which can harm productivity and family bonds. 5

[2] Second, lack of clear boundaries can be an issue. In many family businesses, the lines
between personal and professional life often blur, making it hard to separate family time
from work. This lack of balance can result in stress and burnout for family members.

[3] Another challenge is favouritism. Family members may receive preferential treatment,
which can lead to resentment among other employees and create an unprofessional work 10
environment. This can harm the business’s overall performance.

[4] Fourth, succession planning can be complicated in family businesses. Choosing the next
leader often involves emotional decisions, and conflicts over who will take over can cause
serious disruptions in the business.

[5] In conclusion, while family businesses have their benefits, they also come with 15
challenges such as family conflicts, blurred boundaries, favouritism, and difficult succession
planning. These issues must be managed carefully to ensure the long-term success of the
business.

Hard work is essential, as the road to success in the music (4) industry (industrial) can be long and

(6) Creativity (Create) is another critical factor. Successful musicians often stand out because they
bring something unique to the music scene. Whether it is through their songwriting, musical style,
or (7) performance (perform) techniques, they offer something that resonates with their audience.
(8) Originality (Original) and innovation help musicians create a lasting impression, setting them

successful musicians know how to balance creativity with commercial appeal, creating music that
is both (10) personal (person) and widely appreciated.

Networking and collaboration also play a major role in a musician’s success. Building relationships

opportunities, such as recording contracts or collaborations. The music industry is highly
