In this article the writer talks about the suicide cases which became a habit in China for people who suffer from problems. The women suicide case is more than men especially in the countryside. This problem happens too much in rural areas where you can find agricultural poisons. Some fights between the husband and his wife end up with the women taking the poison to commit suicide just to make the husband know that it is not the right way to treat your wife. In addition, the suicide is a result of the heavy duties for the wife and the fights between them and their husband. Some people think that the tradition is one reason for this problem and some wives decide to commit suicide asking their husbands for better life and to tell everyone about how terrible their life is. The number of men is bigger than the number of women and this will cause very negative results such as prostitution and rape with no concept of mercy. One organization helps women to describe their feelings. In addition, there want to provide some subjects such as computing, cooking, information about suicide and marriage. Many of China’s women travel to another country and work. They get experience in life and become confident which means that working outside China is a good solution.
Mean idea:
The women in China commit suicide because their husbands take the women and do what they want and treat them like animals.
Opinion:
In my opinion the women should work outside the country to have an experience in the Married life, just as the writer says, because suicide would become less and we should let them do whatever they want.

Carbon footprint
My teacher gave us a web site to know what I measured in my carbon footprint in http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/.
Carbon footprint is the total GHG emissions you personally are responsible for in our life. I measure my friends carbon footprints 4.39, 3.3, 2.22 and 3.64 and the average of carbon footprint in my class is 3.86 and it is high and it means nearly 4 planets. As you can see the carbon footprint is not the same for everyone; each one has his own rate which depends on the way he lives.
There are various ways to reduce the amount of consumption of the earth’s resource and reduce the harm one person can cause like using cleaner ways of transportation by walking or using a bike to go for small errands to the market instead of the car. Also in the house one can use energy saving lights or choose energy efficient appliances. For food you can at least plant a garden of your own or choose food with less packaging to reduce waste and for housing use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning products. Everyone in the world is trying their best to reduce the carbon emissions anyway possible and the UAE too is participating in this cause so we should look after this problem. I hope that everybody takes this problem seriously and I hope they think before they do anything.

Task 4, Argument: An Inconvenient Truth
A favorable review:
Brandon Fibbs http://brandonfibbs.com/2006/05/24/an-inconvenient-truth/ says that all scientists agree about global warming and that we are responsible. He thinks the movie was supported by so much evidence such as photos, facts and charts. Al Gore has enough studies to convince even the most ardent skeptic. He had shocking photographic evidence that showed the effect of global warming. Brandon Fibbs thinks that Al Gore ended the movie on a positive note when he said it was a moral issue not a political issue.
An unfavorable review:
Scott, http://movies.nytimes.com/2006/05/24/movies/24trut.html , says that Al Gore is a good speaker, but his message about global warming was interrupted when he started making jokes about Bush and the Republicans. As Scott sees it, the movie doesn’t seem to be about global warming but it seems to be about selling Al Gore as a saint or as future president. He wants the audience to believe him by moving them emotionally when he was talking about his personal life. There was another unfavorable review by Eric; he said that Al Gore may have shown the audience the pictures of glaciers that was taken in the winter and another in the summer. Also he said that Al Gore should have replaced the biased politics with references for his facts.
Opinion:
In my opinion this movie is interesting for many reasons and these reasons are a lot of information about global warming. The way the movie was presented and Al Gore’s way of explaining the causes of this problem were great. I think that people will take more responsibility when they know about this problem.
