Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economical as possible Natural resources will never run out We don’t know exactly how much fuel is left We shouldn’t waste fuel According to Professor Marvin Burnham, solar energy will be used as a substitute for natural resources All people agree to use nuclear power as an alternative energy Radioactivity from nuclear power causes cancer and may have bad effect on the future generations Natural resources should be used as much as possible 02 Budapest is very unusual because it has two completely different parts You can choose the peace and quiet of Buda’s woods or the excitements of Pest , where there are good theaters , restaurants , bars and shops The public transport system in Budapest is one of the best and cheapest in the world You can travel easily by underground , bus , tram , and taxi , but driving a car in Budapest is not a good idea !
