The Importance of Reading
Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to
overcome the crisis of energy. The debate of whether the use
of nuclear energy is an appropriate choice has not come to
ISSUE an end. Some people agree with the utilization of it because
of its benefits. Some others, however, disagree because of
its risks to the environment.
Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors
usually argue that nuclear energy is the only feasible choice
to answer the ever-increasing energy needs. In their opinion,
ARGUMENT PRO the other sources of energy: oil, coal, and liquid natural gas
are not renewable and safe, while nuclear energy can be
sustainable when produced in a safe way.
However, people who disagree with the use of nuclear
energy point out that the waste of nuclear products can
completely destroy the environment and human lives. A
ARGUMENT AGAINST meltdown in a reactor, for example, usually results in the
contamination of the surrounding soil and water. Take for
example, the blow up of the nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Station in Russia twenty years ago. The
serious contamination imperiled people and the environment
severely.
It is obvious that nuclear energy should be avoided because
CONCLUSSION it really endangers the environment but what about a less
polluted energy instead of nuclear energy? Is there any
alternative energy to overcome the crisis of energy?
Television: the Best Invention of the Twentieth Century?
During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the invention of many
amazing things. Television is a great invention, but there are arguments for and
against whether it is the best invention of the twentieth century. Television was
invented in the 1920s and first came in 1956.
It has played an important role in communicating news. We can learn
instantly about what is happening in the world because of television. Also,
television has provided people with entertainment in their own homes. People in
isolated areas can still feel part of the world because of television. For these
reasons I feel that television could be considered the best invention of the
twentieth century.
On the other hand, there are other inventions that could be considered to be
better than television. Some might argue that the computer should be awarded
the distinction of being the best invention because computers have made life
easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such as heart peacemakers
are the best inventions because they help to save lives.
It can be seen that there are reasons for and against television being
considered the best invention of the twentieth century. After looking at both sides
I still believe it is the best invention. (Taken from: [Link].)
