It is widely known that cars are the greatest danger to human life today. In my view, the invention of the car has caused nothing but problems, from pollution to accidents and deaths. In the first place, cars contribute to air pollution. Consequently, our health is threatened. Moreover, this pollution can make cities very unpleasant places to live in. In addition to this, cars cause traffic accidents and thousands of people die each year from reckless driving and speeding vehicles.

Almost everyone owns a television these days and watches it regularly. I own a television. However, I know that it has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. To begin with, television can be very educational as well as entertaining. There is usually a whole range of interesting documentaries to watch. What is more, it is very relaxing to sit in the comfort of your own home and be entertained without spending a lot of money. On the other hand, some programmes on TV contain violence, horror and other unsuitable viewing material that can be watched by your children without your knowledge. Besides, watching Television encourages people to be lazy and not to communicate with each other. All in all, television is something that can be enjoyed by all. However, we must decide what is worth viewing and what is not.

In my view, the internet is a great way of getting information. I mean it saves time going to libraries and so on. Furthermore, it's a great way of communicating. You can talk with people from all over the world. I've had conversations with people in America, Australia, loads of different places. However, in my opinion, people should be more careful about how they use it! Some of the information you can access is not at all suitable-especially for children. People are allowed to put whatever they like on the internet and I don't think that's right. taken from a coursebook Activate
