TOEFL68 When we see photographs of starving children, it’s hard to say that we should spend billions of dollars on space exploration. But that’s just what we should do. Children don’t need to be starving, but we do need to explore space. Right now, we have enough meny to feed every person on Earth. Children are starving because of mismanagement of resources and simple human greed. Those are problems we can solve right here on earth. That shouldn’t stop our need to find out what’s beyond our own solar system. We may never make contact with whatever other species there may be out there in space. Even so, there are still two very practical and positive consequences of space exploration. One is certainty and the other is a possibility. The certainty is medical research. Yes, we can conduct research here on earth. But much of the research done in space, for example, on the effects of gravity on bone marrow, is making a difference in medicine here on Earth. When we do research in space, we also learn more about space exploration. Also, many of the inventions that were developed for space travel have been adapted to good use on Earth. The possible consequence of space exploration is finding another planet human beings can colonize. Overpopulation is a huge problem on our planet. People are living longer, more healthful lives, and that’s a good thing. But it means there are fewer people dying and more people being born. Eventually we’ll have less space, fewer people resources and major distribution problems. If we can find another planet to live on, we can relieve the problems of overpopulation on our planet. It’s a tragedy that there are human beings suffering on Earth. However, if we wait until everyone has a perfect life, we will never explore space – and that, too, would be a kind of tragedy. 10.

''Telecommuting'' refers to workers doing their jobs from home for part of each week and communicating with their office using computer technology. Telecommuting is growing in many countries and is expected to be common for most office workers in the coming decades. How do you think society will be affected by the growth of telecommuting? Telecomunication Developing telecommunications affect our society in many ways in areas such as education, commerce and entertainment. In this essay, I will explain why telecommunications have had a huge impact on our education. To start with, let’s start at the advantages of telecommunications. The Internet is a consequence of telecommunications and part of our lives. We can see the Internet all around us, such as in companies, universities and schools. We can search for everything we want to know from the Internet, because the Internet is the biggest library on earth. Moreover, nowadays some Masters’ subjects can be studied via the Internet or television. This is called distance-education. Therefore, telecommunications make education convenient for students. For example, Monash University offers Master of Business Systems for distance education to many students in Asian countries. The students do not need to come to Melbourne. They can save a lot of money. However, there are many disadvantages from the use of telecommunications. Firstly, a computer is very expensive. It costs $1,500 at least. Not all students can buy computer. Secondly, people will lack human communication. In the future, people will only sit in front of a screen and communicate via the Internet, so they will lose their sense of community. Moreover, physical conditions, such as eye diseases and back pain, result from watching a screen for too long. Some programmers have problems with their eyes and sometimes they have headaches. In conclusion, although we can gain comfort from telecommunications, we may lose much more than that. Disadvantages include expenditure, physical problems and the loss of human communication. In my opinion, we should use telecommunications properly and realize that telecommunications are just a tool for education. 14.Describe a piece of technology that has been useful in your life.
