Cars should be Banned in the city
As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world.
Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illnesses such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off
asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night, or
concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.
In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reasons listed.

Learning from Television

Traditionally, educators have perceived television as not particularly beneficial to literacy
development. Concerns were fuelled by findings suggesting that with the introduction of
television people spend less time reading books and reading scores decline. As our society is
striving to make adjustments to the decline in literacy skills, new ways of learning and teaching
are being explored, educators are becoming interested in exploring the educational potential of
television. Therefore, the interest in television as an educational medium has increased for
several reasons.
First, existing educational television programs that were developed to enhance the literacy
development of both children and adults have been quite successful in achieving their intended
outcomes. This has been reported in several researches dealing with such things such as
television supported distance learning programs from the Open University in Great Britain.
Second, because television is a very accessible medium, it has the potential to reach learners
that have not been able to participate in traditional adult literacy programs. Television is
accessible both in terms of its technology and in terms of its content. By 1985, 99% of all US
households had a least one television set.
Moreover, viewers are intimately familiar with the content of television and tend to associate it
with pleasurable experience because of its power to entertain.
Finally, the development of new visual technologies makes it possible to provide users with more
control and interactivity and thus to adapt televised instruction to the needs of a variety of learners and
learning styles. To conclude, many teachers in UK are recently becoming aware to benefit the potential
of television programs to support the teaching processes.

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable.

You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means
to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use
songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we
heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes
unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-
and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition,
which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes
them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be
quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analysed in the same way as any
other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and
probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within
oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture,
religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution. Last but not least, there are many learning
activities we can do with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening
comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture
