The effect of the divorce on teens

                                     Freya

A recent survey conducted revealed that more and more parents’ divorce. According to the data, the divorce rate is 4.95%（ the number of divorce per one thousand people）in the US. So imagine this, how’s the effect on teens when their parents’ divorce? Are they still feeling nothing changed or they may change only for one night? In my point of view, I think there are three effects on them: emotional impact, behavior influence and psychological effect.

The first thing we have to care about is that teens emotional impact. They are too young to stand such bad change. First, they may lacking a sense of security, and feel alone. It’s easy to think of that because parents live separate and has their own life, or perhaps one of their parents will formed a new family. Moreover, they will feel shamed in front of their classmates. When their classmates said how they spent a happy day with their family, they will be more inferiority. Everything is changed. They don’t have the patience to listen to others. It’s really a bad temper. Because of their family, they have suffered too much pressure, and finally the get irascibility.

At this time, their behavior is completely changed. They put themselves in their own world. They don’t like to talk to other. Or maybe they are scared to get along with others. They fear to tell about their family. Furthermore, they don’t like to go to school. They are sleeping in the class, they don’t finish homework. They don’t care about the scores. They become the real bad students. The most serious are they have a lot of complaints but they can’t express it, so they began to fight with others. Or another reason for fight is they want to get attention of their parents.

The last is psychological effects. This can be good and also bad. The bad is they may never get married when they grow up because they don’t trust people any more. On the other side, some teenagers are become wiser since their parents’ divorce. They study harder than before. Especially they have a weak mom at home and poor. But no matter which one they are, they still don’t have a happy childhood. It’s really a hard time in their childhood.

Three effects on teens if parents' divorce, emotional impact, behavior influence and psychological effect.So, I think as this bad phenomenon more and more, people should pay attention to how kids feel when the parents’ divorce.

How Global warming effect on our lives?

Sayo Kato

     Do you know the problems of global warming have been becoming more serious? Global warming damaged not only our lives but also animal and climate. The cause of global warming is us. We destroyed nature to make our lives more comfortable. However, we didn’t know that the effects of damage have been accumulating gradually. The effects are very big serious problems to us.

     First, ecosystem has not been working well gradually. Ecosystem describes the circumstances that animas’ habitants where live in and keep the balance very well. However, if global warming develops, the ecosystem will be getting worse. Animals have to move to another place where they can live. For example, in South Vietnam, farmers cut a lot of trees to cultivate their lands. So, the beautiful forests damaged greatly. Besides, the countries like Japan are easy to damage bigger than other countries because the form of Japan is complicated. Ecosystem and the place where humans live are separated completely. That is to say, humans and animals can’t live together because of Japanese circumstances. It’s not good. We need to consider nature more seriously.

     Second, the sea level has been increasing gradually. If the temperature rises, the ice and glacier are melting into the sea. Besides, the volume of the sea also swells. It also leads to increase sea level. For example, in China, the sea level has been increasing 2.6mm per year since 30 years ago. The speed is faster than other countries. The sea level also rises about 5.7mm in Taiwan. This is twice compared to 50 years ago. If this condition continues, China will be damaged serious tidal wave, damage from salt and the soil erosion.

     Third, the unusual climate will increase. The possibility of the typhoons will increase and the climate will become extreme. For example, as a result of global warming, El Salvador can be caught in a heavy rain and Saudi Arabia can sometimes flood. Besides, in the summer, the temperature reaches 50℃ and the day continues. The heavy rain also happens many times in the rainy season and Saudi Arabia damage greatly in the season.

     Global warming influences our lives greatly but the cause is humans. We damaged our earth unconsciously. We have to protect the earth. So, it’s important for us to cooperate with each other by taking some measures.

Effects Of Air Pollution

Khanh Dao          

         Have you ever imagined how air pollution effects people around the world? There are a lot of causes for air pollution including smoke from vehicles, factories, or even cigarettes. Air pollution effects people’s health, the ecosystem and the ozone layer.

          First of all, air pollution largely effects people’s health. Among people, high-risk groups such as the elderly, infants and pregnant woman are more susceptible to air pollution. Because of their weak body’s resistance, so they can easily suffer lots of diseases such as coughing, eye irritation and even cardiovascular diseases. For example, toward the pregnancy, when they live in a polluted environment, their health would be affected by smoke from vehicles as well as smoke emitted from factories. In smoke, there are a lot of harmful chemicals such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, so when these chemical goes through their body, it cause lots of diseases from the eyes to the lungs. That not only effects the woman but also their child. The worst thing is that they might have miscarriage.

          Second of all, air pollution effects the ecosystem. If the environment is polluted, it might cause smog. When the atmosphere contains large amounts of smog, it contributes to the formation of acid rain. When the acid rain occurs, the nutrition in the soil would be washed. Besides, some harmful chemicals in acid rain such as acid sulfuric and acid nitric can be absorbed by plant roots and poison to the plant. Moreover, air pollution can be harm water resources. As a result, it can cause diseases to people when they use water.

          Finally, air pollution seriously effects the ozone layer. When the environment is polluted, it has lots of harmful chemicals. When these chemicals spread out everywhere, the amount of oxygen will decrease. As we know, the ozone is made from oxygen, so the ozone layer might be gone. As a result, there will be no layer to protect the earth, so the chance of harmful rays of sun that come to earth will increase. The worst thing is that the earth can be destroyed.

          As we have seen, air pollution is really dangerous for humans. It can effects people’s health, the ecosystem and the ozone layer. People around the world need to do lots of things to lower the air pollution including stop using motorbikes, enforce penalties for factories that release air pollution to the atmosphere.

Sometimes the homework will be difficult. Then we need more time to solve it. We have to face all kinds of tests. We should spend a lot of time in the review.

However, nobody around you. What can you do? Internet chatting may be the best choice. You can easy to connect others online. Of course you will become excited and you may interested in others’ topic. On the other hand, while you are happy, you ignore the time. Suddenly you find the time too late and you stay up late again.
