Susscessful Sports Professional
Some people believe that successful sports professionals can earn more money when they are win some world competitions than other essential occupations, for example doctors. In this essay, I will argue that it is fair because they spend a lot of time for training to prepare for the competitions and also they make a valuable contribution to their country when they are win.
The opponents who think that sports professionals, such as soccer players earn more much money than other job, for instance doctors, emphasise that the sportmen do not use their brain for studying educated subject like medicine. They think that the athletes just spend their time to exercise and even just manage their body to keep healthy. Besides that, they do not need to spend their money on university courses especially medicine faculty, which has higher fees than other subjects.
However, the supporters who think that it is fair argue that professionals athletes bring the name of their country to the world competition. So, it is justified for them to earn much money, either from their organisations or the companies as their funding support bodies. They argue that they also spend a lot of time for exercise and preparing their mental and physical before they play in the worldwide popular competition.
To sum up, I will say that if the sports professionals can earn a great more money and bonuses than other crucial professions like doctor, it is still acceptable because each profession has its benefits. Maybe, one of the benefits of being a successful soccer player is they can earn more money especially when they are win prestigious competition such as World Cup, Olympic, Asean Football Federation and so on. Moreover, if they win competition and became famous, they are likely to earn additional money from sponsors. (DAR)

Should marine mammals be kept in captivity in marine parks? Discuss
The issue of whether we should allow marine parks to stay
open has been widely debated in our community recently. It is an important
issue because it concerns fundamental moral and economic questions about the way
we use our native wildlife. A variety of arguments have been put forward. This
essay will consider arguments for having marine parks and point to some of the
problems with these views. It will then put forward good reasons why laws
should be introduced to prohibit these unnecessary and cruel institutions.
It has
been argued that dolphin parks provide the only opportunity for much of the
public to see marine mammals (Smith, 1997). Most Australians, so this argument
goes, live in cities and never get to see these animals. It is claimed that
marine parks allow the average Australian to appreciate our marine wildlife.
However, as Smith states, dolphins, whales and seals can be viewed in thewild
at a number of places on the Australian coast. In fact, there are more places
where they can be seen in the wild than places where they can be seen in
captivity. Moreover, most Australians would have to travel shorter distances to
get to these wild locations than they would to get to themarine parks on the
Gold Coast. In addition, places where there are wild marine mammals do
not charge exorbitant entry fees - they are free.
Dr Alison Lane, Director of the
Cairns Marine Science Institute, contends that we need marine parks for
scientific research (The Age, 19.2.1999). She argues that much of our knowledge
of marine mammals comes from studies that were undertaken at marine parks. The
knowledge obtained at marine parks, she says, can be useful for planning for the conservation of marine
mammal species. However, as Jones (1998) explains, park research is only useful
for understanding captive animals and is not useful for learning aboutanimals
in the wild. Dolphin and whale biology changes in marine park conditions. Their
dietsare different, they have significantly lower life spans and they are more
prone to disease. Furthermore, marine mammals in dolphin parks are trained, and
this means that their patterns of social behaviour are changed. Therefore,
research undertaken at marine parks can be generallyseen to be unreliable.
It is
the belief of the Marine Park Owners Association that marine parks attract
numerous foreign tourists (The Sun-Herald2.4.1999). The organisation asserts that these tourists
spend a greatdeal of money, increasing our foreign exchange earnings and
assisting our national balance of
payments. However, it is arguable that foreign tourists would still come
to Australia if the parkswere closed. Indeed, recent surveys of overseas
tourists show that they come here for a variety of other reasons and not to
visit places like Seaworld (The Age, Good Weekend 16.8.1999). Touristscome here to see our native wildlife
in its natural environment and not to see it in cages andcement pools. There
are plenty of opportunities for them to see animals in these conditions intheir
own countries. What is more, we should be promoting our beautiful natural
environment totourists, not the ugly concrete marine park venues.
Marine parks
are unnecessary and cruel, and they should not be supported. The dolphins and whales
in these parks are kept in very small, cramped ponds, whereas in the wild they
are used toroaming long distances freely across the seas. Another point to
consider is that the concrete walls of the pools interfere with the animals'
sonar systems of communication making it difficult or impossible for them to
communicate with each other. A related argument is that keeping these animals in
confined areas is a terrible restriction of the freedom of highly intelligent
creatures that have sophisticated language ability. Moreover, the se animals are
friendly and helpful to human beings and as such deserve our respect. There are
many documented cases of marine mammals helping humans who are
in danger at sea or helpingfishermen with their work.
In conclusion, marine
parks need to be closed, or at the very least, no new animals should be captured
for marine parks in the future. Our society should no longer be prepared to
tolerateunnecessary cruelty to animals for the purposes of science or
entertainment. If these creatures continue to suffer as victims of captivity,
future generations will surely remember us as cruel and inhumane.

Amount of Goods transported in the UK - IETLS Task 1
The line chart
illustrates detailed information about the amount of goods which is transported by four different choices of modes of transport, namely
road, water, rail and pipeline, in Great Britain over a
twenty-eight-year period, starting from 1974, expressed
in millions of tonnes. In general, the amount of goods, transportatied in the time period
given increased slightly, and lowest
level for year onward until the end of the period.
The guantity of
goods transported by road showed a gentle rise starting from approximatcly 70
million tonnes and ending at the highest level, just above 95 million tonnes.
In contrast, pipeline accounted for the lowest level during time which the quantity
went up slowly and gradually from just under 5 million tonnes at first to above
20 million tonnes by the end of time period.
For the remaining
goods transportation, water and rail, however had apposing trends. In the same
level, by 40 million tonnes, in 1978 from then onward, they showed a large gap
in the both level at inversed trend. Rail use declined steadily through out the
time period given, while water usage transportation jumped moderately until
1982. Then it remained stable until 1998. In the following years, it increased
steadily in the following years until the end of time period. (Rp.54.121)
Horse Evolution (IELTS Task 1 - Process)
The pictures
illustrate how the horse has evolved from its pregistoric anchestor to the
contemporary horse through four stages, beginning at forty million years age,
then 30 million years ago, fifteen million years later and finally the modern
horse. There is special attention given to the shape of the foot which is shown
in separate places in the picture to highlight its changes.
Looking at these
pictures as a whole, during the process of the evolution of the horse, it has
increased on size and the modern horse is two times bigger than the horse at
the first stage. Also, it has grown hair along the back of the head and neck,
called a mane, and the tail is longer. In addition to that, the foot has
changed from five toes to a single toe, nomely a hoof.
The first period of
the time, at forty million years ago, the horse, which had the of the if
compared smallest body and the shortest tail with no hair seen on the back of
the head, was known as Eahippus. The stucture of the foot was made up of four
toes with are shorter toe to the right. In the second stage the mesohippus era
it had larger body and longer tail. It started to grow small mane and the foot
consisted of two less toes than the horse of ten million years before. In the
next stage, merychippus, living is million years in the past, was larger in
size, had thicker mane land longer tail than both previous stages. The number
of toes was still the some as mesohippus, but the middle of the toes was
moderately longer than in the second stage. Last, the modern horse was the
largest physical specimen the longest tail and the thickest mane over the all
stages. Its ears were also more pointed than three stages before. Moreover, the
modern horse had one big foot without toes, called a hoof, which seem different
compared to its prehistoric predecessors. (Rp.54.121) RP
