The Government should Provides Rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of
the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the
government should provide rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer
from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually
helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the
problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is
imposed to them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to
participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to
their illness. Only drugs dealers, traffickers, and wholeselers should be
imprisoned.

Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There
are several things that we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh
local groceries as much as possible. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits,
bread, etc.
Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of
course means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries
from other region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the
amount of carbon dioxide produced.
Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us.
Furthermore, fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up.
It means that no electricity is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon
dioxide and money.
So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global
warming.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been
serious problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it
is for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10%
solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to
preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course
when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This
condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak
and the use formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these
days it has really happened, the citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with
the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin
and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs
the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin
and other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved
immediately.

The Dangers of Typing SMS while Driving

The popularity of mobile devices has had some dangerous consequences. We

know that mobile communications are linked to a significant increase in distracted
driving which results in injury and loss of life.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2010
driver distraction was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes with 3,092 people
killed and crashes resulting in an injury 416,000 people wounded.
The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that text messaging creates
a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted.
Eleven percent of drivers aged 18 to 20 who were involved in an automobile
accident and survived admitted they were sending or receiving texts when they
crashed. Distracted driving endangers life and property and the current levels of

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are
commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different
management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the
environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality
of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means
that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and
bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides
should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological
balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option
to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.

Read the following text to answer questions number 27 to 29.

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this
belief are that these phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and
they are handy for emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For
instance, if you fall down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t
reach a pay phone, it is handy to have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the
middle of the night in a strange neighbourhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in
search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business
people. For example, if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to
contact a client to do some important work, it is useful to have one to use. By using
a mobile phone, important information can be received. People can’t stay in an
office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or
they will go out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use the
internet with your mobile.

8
 In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary
part of every day life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be
passed on with a simple press of a button. Whether this is to do with business or
personal information or emergencies, it goes to show that they are necessary in the
new millennium.

Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the
use of seat belts. In European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long
time. However, this new regulation has become controversial and is an interesting
topic to discuss. Here are some of the arguments.
The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or death in
an accident. Seat belt has become a standard component in cars. The research
shows that most car accident will cause an injury to the head. Frequently, drivers
or the passengers driving without seat belts die because of this. By wearing the seat
belts, the injury will not happen since belts restrain our body on the car seat when
the accident happens.
 Unfortunately, many cars, especially the old ones, don’t have seat belts. This is
because the traffic conditions in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The
designer of old cars didn’t consider a seat belt as an important part. Besides, the
drivers wearing the seat belt will think that they are completely safe, so they may
drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but how about safety of others?
The seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn’t
mean that we are completely safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.
