protection. Active in their concern, teachers and students hold specific meetings

concerned and active because air and water pollution affects everyone and makes it
difficult for cities to survive and businesses to make a profit.

Computers, just like any new technology, have a negative side. As more and more
computers are used in production lines, many jobs are being taken over by
computer-controlled machines. As a result, many workers are finding themselves
jobless. This constitutes a threat to social security. Another problem is computer
crimes. For example, some people are finding ways to break into the bank computer
systems and transfer large sums of money to their own accounts. There have been many
reports like this. One more negative effect of computers is that they bring about
health problems. Sitting in front of computers all day undoubtedly affects people’
s health. Back pain, wrist pain, failing eyesight, to name only a few.

Many people place so much emphasis on success that they think any failure is bad.
Failure is never pleasant because it hurts people. But in fact is can make a positive
contribution to our life once we learn how to make the best of it. We can learn from
a disastrous party how to give a good one. And we can learn from an ill-chosen first
house what to look for in a second. Even a total failure can give us fresh ideas or
a change of direction. Repeated failures lead to success and prove to be beneficial
to us as we experiment every day to find out the right way of doing things.
