Seat belt
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 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.

Animals and marine creatures consume plastic particles along with their food. Plastic cannot
be digested and thus gets trapped in their intestines. Large amount of plastic is accumulated
in the intestines of various animals and sea creatures and results in serious health problems
in them. Sometimes, animals gulp the entire plastic bag by mistake. This gets stuck in their
throat or intestines and chokes them to death. Sea turtles are especially known to have the
entire plastic bag in one go mistaking it for jelly fish. Research shows that waste plastic bags
have been a major cause of untimely animal deaths.
In conclusion, burning garbage is not a good way to reduce our waste because it is
dangerous for our health and environment. There are still many safe ways to reduce waste
that we can try.
Since open burning of garbage is more common in rural and agricultural areas, there is
particular concern for high levels of dioxins and furans setting on crops, in our streams, and
in our lakes. Dioxins and furans produced by the open burning of garbage area are deposited
on plants, which are eaten by animals. The dioxins and furans are absorbed by these animals
and stay in the food chain until they ultimately end up in our meat and dairy products. In
fact, over 90% of our intake of dioxins and furans is from our diet.
In conclusion, burning garbage is not a good way to reduce our waste because it is
dangerous for our health and environment. There are still many safe ways to reduce waste
that we can try.

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.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.

SOAL Higher Education for Women
In this modern era, there are still some parents who are hesitant about sending their
daughters to college. The narrow attitude shown to women’s education is largely due to the
traditional role of women in society. A womanis expected to be a wife and a mother. Most
parents believe that if their daughter gets married and does not pursue a career but instead
chooses to be a housewife, then the higher education will be a waste. However, an educated
woman is not only a better wife but also contributes to society.
Nowadays, more and more women are successfully combining career and marriage.
Educated woman are richer both emotionally and financially. They are able to find an outlet
outside the drudgery and monotony of their homes. They bring more satisfaction and
contentment to their lives.
Depriving girls of higher education is crass discrimination. Times have changed; modern’s
society needs the talents of its people regardless of gender. Today, women work alongside
men. In fact, in the last few decades, women have made outstanding contributions to
society.
Woman should be given the freedom to be educated whether or not they get married or go
to work after finishing their education because it is only through education that a woman
will find herself useful and discover what she wants in life. Women who workis not an insult
to her husband. Conversely, her husband should feel proud of her achievements since
marriage is actually an equal partnership.
Therefore, parents should not think that girls should receive less education just because
they will get married one day.
