Diets

Many people believe that the only way to lose weight is following

a special diet. However, doctors consider dieting harmful to our

health.

      Nowadays, people are thinking about their health more and more. 

And those people who is keeping fit are healthy. Some think that the best

way to improve their fit is the dieting. Others believe that a strict diet 

causes bad state of the health.

      In my opinion, dieting is a good way to lose weight. To begin with, 

following a diet helps to reduce the amount of food you eat, cut out 

snacks and desserts and consequently get rid obesity. Secondly, the 

diet may cut down on fat. Finally, you may plan quality of calories and

distribute food daily.

     On the other hand, there are those who think a strict diet may be 

dangerous. The lower the calories eaten per day , the harder it is to get 

the daily requirements of proteins and vitamins.Moreover, excessive 

dieting causes muscle loss and this loss may be from your heart with 

severe consequences. In addition, dieting lowers your metabolic rate, 

so when you return to your normal food intake, you will put on weight 

ever faster than before.

     Despite my respect to their opinion, I cannot share it. This all is 

insignificant when I am on my way of looking fabulous.

     In conclusion, I am strongly convinced that a well-balanced diet is the 

best way to keep fit. And it gives a body what it needs.

Learning Foreign Languages

Some people think that learning foreign languages is a waste of

time and money.

     In today`s world with the increasing globalization more and more

people are learning foreign languages. On this case some people assume 

that the knowing any foreign language plays a considerable role now. 

Whereas others believe that it is not worth studying it.

     In my opinion, a person should know some foreign languages. Firstly,

nowadays when global ties among countries are developing, one

should study a foreign language to obtain a well-paid, prestigious job.

Secondly, the knowing foreign languages is necessary while

travelling. And a person will not feel uncomfortable because of lack of

the language barrier.

    On the other hand, there are those who consider that a person does

not have to learn any foreign language. In their view, if you learn it, 
you waste of money. Moreover, studying a foreign language takes too 
much time.
    Nevertheless, I totally disagree with this a viewpoint, because there

are many sites in the Internet where you can acquire the knowledge

of a language. Also a person can study a language while getting to

work.
     In conclusion, I am strongly convinced that a person needs know 
foreign languages. It is a significant advantage for everyone.

ENV: Climate Change

Climate change is inevitable, it is not something we should panic

about.

      Nowadays a problem of changing climatic conditions, in particular,

global warming, is a very actual issue. Some people believe that there

is no reason to worry and we cannot stop this process, others have

much against. So where is the truth?

     In my opinion, every man should pay special attention to this serious

question. First of all, let me give an example, if climate on the Earth

changes, there will be mortality increase. Many diseases might be

caused by changing environmental state. Secondly, many kinds of

animals and plants will not acclimate to the new conditions and

therefore will also perish. It means that there will be reduced diversity

of terrestrial fauna. Finally, the majority of governments of different

countries will certainly have many difficulties, because they have to

work out a plan to solve economic, social and other problems, arising

from climate crisis.

     However, there are a lot of people think that global changing

environmental conditions do not depend on humanity and we should

not care about it. In addition, most of them think that climate change is

so far from today.

     I do not share this opinion as I am sure that human activities promote

global warming. For example, cars give off exhausts. Possibly,

people cannot stop climate change at all, but they should try to

mitigate effects of it for better life in future.

     To sum up, I am strongly convinced, that changing climate is a very

big and serious trouble for humanity. It is necessary for all of people 

to do everything possible to suspend the development of the problem.
