It can only become dangerous when computer might be crashed by the virus. For instance, Trojan horse is one of the typical viruses which get the personal information and abuse it to take advantages like steal money from people’s bank account to buy something. Unfortunately, it is costly to solve this problem since a lot of efforts need to be put on the discovery and deletion of the virus. Another source of the danger is called spyware which is slightly similar to Trojan House, that is to say, it will also hide inside the computer without notification. However it seems to be less threatening since it only collects the information from the computer for commercial purposes. On the other hand, Spam, i.e. an unwanted advertisement or junk email, is the least dangerous of computer danger, and generally 50% of the email can be considered as junk email. Sometimes,through the spam, it is intended to thick you to get some information, this kind of attack is called “Phishing”.

Next, “Trojan Horse” is a type of virus that collects your credit card and banking details so that they can steal your money. In addition, there is also spyware. It functions like “Trojan Horse” but it does not cause any damages to your computer. They collect information such as your online purchases and then send it to commercial companies. Another popular attack is spam or unwanted advertising. It is less dangerous than virus and is consider as junk mail. Nowadays, more than 50% of all mails are junk mails.

Nowadays , the cars are the things the most useful in the world and more precisely in the city. It's become also for some development country a thing of concurrence betwen the industry of construction of vehicles. What that explain the diversity of mark of automobiles( mercedes benz,BMW,Toyota etc...).
However, the expansion of the automobiles in the world has it some negative effect?And more precisely in the place that there are the most useful(in the city)? With the light of our connaissances, we'll try to answer at this question in the following lines.


In our days, the cars are become necessairy in our community. There have a lot of advantage. First of all, the automobiles are the most important facilitator of displacement for people. With the cars, we can moved from one place to another so easly. Secondly, when you have our own car,you shouldn't take any public transport.For some people that make them very uncomfortable.Finaly, remember that, nowadays and since always the vehicles are things of luxe for some. Today, all rich people have the hight classes of cars and that it's to make the difference. Even if is a disadvantage for some it's a advantage for others.


Although the advantage mention above, the cars have more drawback than positives sides. In the first place,the automobiles are the most productives of monoxide of carbon ;that destroy our environnement and participate at the creation of the pollution. In addition,remember that the Earth is protected by what we call GREENHOUSE.And that monoxide of carbon is destroying the greenhouse and make the environnement hot.That why nowadays, the temperature of Earth grow more and more. Lastly, the traffic jamp and the furious accident are due by cars.So in some way banned cars from the city is definitely right.


In conclusion,even if there have advantages, the cars have lots of disadvantages. Therefore,banned the vehicles from the city can it save the nature and our environnement??

Using computers saves a lot of time - Sifa

Electronic devices such as computer is very important recently. The pace of life nowadays, require us from using computer due to time saving. Why is it essential in our life?

Firstly, with internet we can receive and reply letter within one to two hours compared to mail. People can get feed back quickly through them. We also can make online banking to pay our household bills without go to the bank. This can save plenty of times. Moreover, a lot of information we can get easily from internet. For instance, people can access updated news around the world as well as the latest products selling in the market.

On the other hand, there are several drawbacks using computer. First of all, students will copy their assignments directly from internet. This habit becomes serious among students especially at the university. They can be terminated due to plagiarism. Furthermore, students also tend to make a lot of spelling mistakes in exams. This is because, computer can correct spelling automatically. Some of people also become addict to internet. Application such as facebook, twitter and games would make them immobile.

On the whole, plenty of work can be done using computer. It is also a device that make us very convenient. However, we must know the limit and control ourself when using computer. Otherwise, a problem will be occured if we misused it.

Cars should be banned from city centres - Sifa

Nowadays, people cannot live without automobiles. We can see that, some people especially who live in urban areas have more than one cars in their home. A rise number of vehicles in the major city will lead to several problems. One way to reduce the number of automobiles is to prohibit it from town.

First of all, more cars in town resulted in traffic jam. Everybody is using their own vehicle to office or take their children to school. The problem becomes worse especially during peak hour. Secondly, plenty of cars in major road can cause accident. The risk of accident occurs is higher due to the difficulties driving in congested area. In addition, we also can reduce the level of air pollution if automobiles are prohibit to major cities. This is because, emission from exhaust contains carbon monoxide and it will contribute to the green house gases.

However, some people think that this is not a best solution to solve the problem. Motor vehicles are not allow to town mean that we must use public transport to commute from one place to another. A lot of time will be wasted, while waiting bus and train because the system is not effisyen. Furthermore, using public transport in rush hour is not comfortable for those who do not like crowd. It is also can lead to crime, such as pick-pocket, snatch thief and so on.

Inevitably, automobiles are essential to everyone. Prohibit cars from major city is not a good way to overcome this issue. Therefore, government should take their role to solve this problem.

Smoking Cigarette


I completely disagree with smoking cigarette. therefore, there are alot of problems in smoking it. However, there is one occasion good that take too much taxes of smokers for cigarette and the government get it.


There is one occasion good and useful for cigarette that it pay taxes for cigarette. Smokers already pay a huge amount to the government that spend in type of works. For example treatment service, transfer and etc. Many are of the opinion that the government should more spend this amount in treatment service because smoking cigarette dependent to people health.


On the other hand, there are three drawbacks in smoking cigarette. Firstly smokers have a dangerous lifestyle and heart diseases are most of smokers, some of them dying soon. Secondly there is addict that after use of cigarette one time must always use of cigarette for long times. Also some people are starting to smoking drug. Finally smokers have got alot of illness. Such as heart diseases, pulmonary diseases , mouth and tooth diseases.


In conclusion, I would say that smoking for other people more danger than smokers particular children. Also it shouldn't produce or the government should stop imports and exports cigarette.

There are some disadvantages of owning children mobile phones. Firstly, it causes an antisocial kid who can't communicate with others directly .Secondly,the child could be distracted from his studies because it's a multi function device such as games .In addition ,children are irresponsible to be own a cell phone. That could west their money. For example ,if they followed the advertisement of connection companies, they will lose lots money indeed .


On the other hand, it has many advantages which may be supported the other opinion which believe cell phones should be allowed for them.In the first, children in need to mobiles because they confront urgent emergency situations which demand owning mobile to contact with their parents. Furthermore ,they need it to communicate with their friend who have mobiles as well. Finally,we can encourage them to be responsible by giving them mobile phones. For instance , they can use the alarm to woke themselves up at the morning.

To conclude, i believe that cell phone should be banned for children due to ,it harmful for them and the disadvantages are far greater than the benefits of owning it.Don't we think we should keep our children safe against cancer ?

Children below the age of 12 should not be allowed to own mobile phones. - Lily

Many parents have different view on the age of their children receiving a mobile phone. There are parents who insist that children under the age of 12 should not be allowed to have mobile phones while there are those who disagree.

Firstly, children under 12 years old should not receive a mobile phone is because they will shy away from meeting new people and become antisocial. Secondly, it will distract them from their studies as mobile phone contains lots of applications namely games that will consume most of their time. Furthermore, there will be wastage of money since children that young will not know the value of money and won’t control their spending. Lastly, there is also the fear of children growing up to be materialistic and demand for newer models of phones.

Nevertheless, there are also few drawbacks if the children did not receive a mobile phone. In case of emergencies, children will be able to contact their parents immediately. In addition, certain applications in the mobile phone like the interactive games and dictionary will aid the children growth. Moreover, children will also be able to learn responsibility in taking care of their phone. Finally, children will also be able to communicate with their friends easily.

To conclude, I think that children under the age of 12 should be allowed to own a mobile phone because with proper guidance from parents, I believe that the negative influence will be overcome.

Smoking in public should be banned - KAY

Smoking in public becomes a controversial topic in the world because it affects non smokers as well. Many countries have implemented a ban on public smoking, smokers get fine if they are not follow the rule. However, is there really the need to prohibit smoking in public?

There are three reasons that smoking in public should not be banned. First of all, smoking helps many people to release stress and even improve concentration. For example, many people like to smoke during the short break to get some new ideas. Furthermore, to become a social smoker will help in the career. People has to spend little of time on socialize with peer or employer to getting recognition. Lastly, it is personal right to be able to smoke in public and no one has the right to forbidden it.

On the other hand, against on smoking are well known. Firstly, smoking not only hurt the person who is smoking and also the people surround them. Second hand smoking is extremely serious because it contains hundreds of toxic chemicals and the second hand smokers have the higher chance of getting lung cancer. Besides that, smoker sometime simply throw the cigarette butt on the road and make the road become dirty and it will damage the country’s image. Even worse, when the cigarette butt still burning, if it is thrown on combustibles and it could cause a fire.

In conclusion, I strongly suggested the smoker should also think about other people feeling and health and only smoking in your own space, not in the public.
