Hello to less privacy

This article talks about a camera cell phone that some people use to interpose in other people privacy. This sneaky camera can take any picture in any situation without another person’s knowing, and huge number of people can watch it through You Tube world, or through e-mail. Moreover, this article gives us many examples about what kind of pictures are usually taking. For example, teenagers, who behave badly, boyfriend with his girl friend having sex, and people drink and acting fool. Also, the camera cell phone is used to enforce social conventions. Furthermore, celebrities’ pictures are taken by paparazzi are the most pictures have been posted in the internet. Actually the number of pictures like these is increasing every day where nobody can control that.

In my opinion, taking picture for someone without his knowledge is crime because nobody wants thing like that happens for himself. The main questions here are why some people like to arouse another people. What is their goal? I think the person who interrupts person’s privacy, is stupid, and he waste his time for nothing. I think government should do something to control the huge numbers of pictures for some people who faced problem in their life from these silly pictures.

Students sell their eggs

I found this article, about females students in Britain sold their eggs to infertile couples in U.S.A . Giving your eggs to anybody to get money, it’s illegal in UK. However, in U.S.A it is legal. The issue is that the demanding in U.S for British eggs is huge. In addition, students in UK sell their eggs just to cover their expenses. However, there are some factors restrict the donor such as the donor’s qualification, the donor’s looks, and the donor’s age. Also, the egg donation INC requires from the donor to send pictures for herself, her siblings, and her children if she has.

In my opinion I strongly disagree with both women and men who selling or donating their eggs and sperm to infertile people who are looking for baby. If this sperm and egg comes from the same husband and wife, I agree because in my religion which is Islam it is a big sin to donate sperm or eggs. The child will lose his true heritage. If I donated my eggs to another woman in a sense that child is still mine even if it grows in another woman’s body. The child who born in that way in future might fall in love with his sister and both they do not know that they are siblings. Moreover, the egg that is taken from a donor may have serious genetic diseases. Also, the donor might be under drug addiction which cause birth defect.

Boring Paper Based TOEFL

Heart attack, this is what some students feel when they take TOEFL test! Some students argue that TOFEL is a perfect test for students who want to attend university, while the other think that many of students are very smart but they can not succeed because of that test. In fact, TOFEL should not be used as a measure for English ability because of scores change too much every time you take the test, does not appear all students skills, and it is too long. First, because there are very different levels between one test form to another, TOEFL scores go up and down too much. For example, some test forms are possible to read and understand because they talk about general information. On the other hand, some forms are very tough and contain a lot of information about specific fields like computer, sciences, and biology. In addition, vocabulary makes a lot of differences in TOEFL scores. Sometimes most of the vocabulary in the TOEFL is understandable, but most of the times vocabulary seems vague and not clear. Huge difference levels among TOEFL forms make every TOEFL test score low or high. Second, TOEFL test does not measure all university skills. In TOEFL there are no writing skills which are very important for university. For example, some majors such as linguistic, and history require writing skills that does not exist in TOEFL. Moreover, TOEFL does not measure speaking skills. A student may get high score but he can not speak English when he answers a phone. That will be a problem for the student in the university because if he passes the test, he will face a hard times in writing and speaking. Third, long test with a lot of questions in few hours are truly bother most students. In addition, a student can not concentrate in TOEFL because of it length. Because TOEFL is too long, and there is no time to answer all questions, some students are distrait during the test. Also, another students feel sleepy, and the other, just guess the answers without reading the passages. It is impossible to finish every section in the test in exact time. Furthermore, this test may bring headaches or stomach to a student. It may also cause tiredness and exhaustion from looking to all papers for three hours. All these things affect students’ scores. Three hours for all sections does not match the length of the test. Opponents who support TOEFL test idea claim that TOEFL tells university about student’s English skills because when student get a high score that means he is ready to face all difficulties in university, but not for other students who needs more effort to be ready. However, this is not true argument because student may get 520, but he can not read well. As a result, when student go to university he will be shocked when a professor asks him to read fifty pages in one day. In addition, every student who wants to apply for university should write and speak well so he can deal with any subject, and communicates with teachers, and students. Although some students doing very well in TOEFL , they can not success in university. The answer for how these students attend to university is some students choose answers in arbitrary way. It means these students do not know answers, they just guess. TOEFL test should be improved for foreigner students in the better way to be effective test. Finally, TOEFL test should not be used for university because of it disadvantages. First, scores change too much in every time a student takes the test. Second, it is not a measurement for all university’s skills. Finally, the time for the test is very long that makes students nerves, and less concentration. Actually, if there is enough time for all questions, and if the test contains writing and speaking beside listening, grammar, and reading, the test will be proper to test students’ skills.

Summary reaction

In the author’s article, “Alternative Energy: Talk isn’t Strategy”, he discusses the President Bush side and opposite side’s opinion. The author argues that government should solve the problems by using alternative energy. The author states that president Bush said that since American can not live without oil, researching for new energy sources like ethanol will go on. In addition, President Bush said that to produce electricity in future, establishing houses with solar panels are good. On the other hand, the author states that investment in alternative energy needs a long- term connected, and ethanol is not a solution for the problem. Also, the author claims that President Bush must accomplish and fix American alternative energy problems more than he talks. . Fossil fuel will be disappear within 40 years. Throughout the world governments should start searching for alternative energy source. America is one of the world’s countries that has to start searching now. President Bush is just talking about these alternative energies without working, and he will continue talking after fossil fuel run out. However, alternative energy will be the main energy source instead of fossil fuels. America should start using alternative energy instead of fossil fuel because of three factors: economical, environmental, and nonrenewable. First, using fossil fuel for along time wastes a lot of money because it takes long process for fuel come out. Also, the price of fuel is increasing day after day. Comparing prices between fossil fuel and alternative energy we can see that alternative energy is cheaper than fossil fuel. In addition, if there is an increasing demand of alternative sources of energy, the price for fuel will come down. As a result, using alternative source of energy saves a lot of money. Second, the pollution that fossil fuel causes in the air is very dangerous for human body and for environment as well. There are many studies proved that the pollution comes from fossil fuel causes cancer. In addition, most fish in the Persian Gulf are dead because of sea pollution that comes from the fossil fuel. However, alternative energy does not cause pollution or at least causes less pollution than fossil fuel. Third, fossil fuel is nonrenewable. What that means is that fossil fuel can not be used again. In fact, fossil fuel is waste of energy we use it. On the other hand, the other alternative source of energy is renewable, so it can be used again. In that way governments can save money because when the energy is used again, it will be cheaper than before. In addition, government will save a lot of energy for centuries. In conclusion, U.S government should use alternative energy because of its advantages. It is not expensive, does not harm for human and environment, and it is renewable. For a long time, fuel was and still the most important source of energy. However, all countries especially the richest countries should work now very hard on researching for alternative sources of energy to prevent any disaster will happen if fossil fuel runs out in future.

Entomophgy
What do you think is eating insects is delicious? Actually, chewing insects is something disgusting to see on T.V. When TV. watchers see a contender eat crickets or worms, their stomachs get upset. However, nowadays eating insects is not something nasty anymore. Many countries eat edible insects as a main course or even as snack. This is very common in many different countries, but in the United States, and Europe, edible insects are not common yet. Insects should be eaten for a variety of reasons such as they are cheap and economical, delicious, healthy, and widely available.
The definition of Entomophagy is the process of eating insects as a food source" (Bircz, 2002, para.1). Many people worldwide have been eating edible insects since ancient times, they believe that insects are healthy and delicious. In fact, "Forty-four kinds of insects are considered edible by the National Institute of Thai Traditional Medicine". ("A Beetle A Day", para. 12). There are many types of insects are eaten such as grasshoppers, beetles, locusts, termites, and crickets. Every culture has different kinds of insects and ways to cook them. Koreans eat fried grasshoppers as a side dish. In China insects double as food and medicine. In addition, Africans eat terminates raw or turn them into cooking oil. On the other hand, according to Kanwee," insects are a real health hazardn even if cooked before being eaten, He said the cockroach spreads disease because it is host to a number of dangerous viruses and bacteria and a carrier of parasites like Raillentina suzerain and Moniliformis which can cause stomach ache, diarrhea, tiredness and hallucinations". (as cited in "A Beetle A Day", 1990, para. 14). Include insects in your meal, they will provide you more nutrients.
First, insects are a very cheap source of food. In Bricz's article (2002), he claims that the prices of meat products are expensive comparing with insects price (para.1). Shoppers can save many dollars when they buy insects products. In addition, Insects are cheaper because they are easily to rise. In fact, there are no machines are wants to raise or help insects generate rapidly, which means no cost for machines are added when someone need to buy insects. Furthermore, their smaller size helped insects' price decrease because shoppers can buy insects in the same cost of meat with three times more in amount. Also, insects do not need special food to eat, they eat plants from everywhere. Insects get their food from flower, falling fruit, and grass. What that means is raising insects are free. There are no processing, no machines, and no special food. All these elements decrease insects' price. If poverty countries sell insects as a food, more people will afford them.
Second, "there are an estimated 2,000 insect species that are consumed around the world and people do not just eat insects, they relish them as delicacies". (Fromme, 2005, para. 2). That shows that insects are tasty besides their benefits as a good alternative source of food. There are many different ways to eat insect, like some people put chocolate on it and make a desert. In addition, insects can be made into spices or even cooking oil. Some Chinese chiefs put insects as a flavor to the food. In fact, according to "A Beetle A Day "some people [fry] grasshoppers and beetles to make very delicious snack". (para. 4). In addition, some high level restaurants in America to grab customers, they offer insects meal in their menu such as a nice dish with beetles, while the other restaurants offer insects as an appetizer. Because insects are crispy, many people exclaim that insects have the most wonderful taste they have ever taste.
Third, if you want a healthy food, Insects will provide you that. Insects contain more protein, fat, and carbohydrates than an equal serving of fish, meat, or even chicken. Moreover, according to a 2004, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FDA) report, caterpillars for many species are rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, as well as B-vitamins. So, insects provide human's body with all what he needs to be in a good health for a long time. In Bircz's article (2002), "Entomophagy", he states that "while insects are high in protein and relatively low in fat they are also a "clean food source because many feed-off fresh plants". (para.S). Insects feed on plant, so that is why their bodies have a lot of vitamins and minerals.
Lastly, grasses, forests, bushes, gardens, farms, and zoo are places where insects are usually found. Insects are in trees, in plants, and flying in the air. In all continents insects are available like Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. It is easy to gather insects than hunt any kind of animal. Besides, millions and millions of insects are generated in a day. So, there will be always enough insects to eat. Furthermore, there is a variety of insects' kinds. They come in many colors, shapes, and sizes, insects are a massive alternative source of food.
Opponents claim that insets are toxic and harmful; they believe that edible insects can make them sick if they eat them. This opinion is not true because people who said that they do not buy these insects from markets. They may be hunt them or find them around house, and eat them. In addition, There is study shows that edible insects like ants make people live longer, which means edible insects are not dangerous for human body. Also, if insects are risky, why some cultures make medicine from them to prevent diseases like weak lungs, and back pain. In addition, how insects are toxic and their bodies full of minerals and vitamins. Moreover, if insects are toxic, why Asian people are the healthiest people in the world, and they eat insects for a previous time. Americans have not been exposed to anything like this before. Recently more and more people are becoming more open minded and trying different things like eating edible insects. Insects will be the best source of medicine for scientists in next decade.
In conclusion, insects should be eaten worldwide because they are cheap, tasty, and healthy. A person cannot judge something without trying it. Research shows that eating edible insects are healthy for your health and are also used to make medicine. In fact, eating edible insects is not a new thing it has been around for ages and looks like (Americans) are starting to pick up on this trend. People have been eating edible insects for many years and they are alive and well to talk about it. Restaurants are starting to sell edible insects so we know that they are tasty. If you care about your health, want to try something new, and want to save some money, you may want to give edible insects a try.

Ways to learn grammar

Learning grammar is something deductive of course. I can’t make my own grammar. If i do not follow the rules for grammar, and if use my own grammar, i will be stupid. How can I speak different than other people do? How will they understand what I say? There are many ways to learn grammar. First, you should love grammar to learn it very quickly. Also, you should follow the way that people speak. Moreover, you have to read anything in English as much as you can to learn how sentences are connected. You should listen to what people are saying, and try to memorize that. Then, speak in the same way that people do. Finally, grammar is something you get it more than you learn it.

Comments on learning Arabic language

If you want to learn the Arabic language, you should know the alphabet first. Then, you have to learn how to pronounce the sounds. The important thing that you have to learn is how the letters are connected with each other. Also, in Arabic language there are some accents we put above and under the letters to help the reader pronounce in a better way, but when we learn how to read in a perfect way we do not have to put them there. However, for foreigners who want to learn Arabic it will be very difficult for them to read Arabic without these accents. We have some special sounds that are not available in any language, and it is very hard for foreigners to say them in the correct way. Finally, Arabic language is very difficult to learn and pronounce if we compare it to other languages.
