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 so that 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.
Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?
Plants
Ecology
Animals
Human Beings
Environment

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a school may differ from others. Why should school use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame's Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school uniforms. their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on "substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance" it also claimed a negative effect on students achievement for those students considered 'pro school'.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and of each other. in institution without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity.

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that these phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you fall down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is handy to have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange neighbourhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example, if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some important work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important information can be received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use the internet with your mobile.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press of a button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it goes to show that they are necessary in the new millennium.
Why are mobile phones very convenient for business people?
They can contact clients
They can do some important works
They can receive some important information
They can send some data and surf Internet
They can run business by staying in and out office

Thousands of macaques are bred or captured from the wild to be used as street performers, or known as “topeng monyet”. The macaques are used to perform street shows; wearing funny masks, riding bicycles, performing acrobatic moves and doing amusing things. However, such shows should be banned for few reasons.
First, topeng monyet is a kind of exploitation of monkeys for money. The monkeys are hung from chains for long periods to train them to walk on their hind legs like humans. Their teeth are extracted so they can’t bite and they are tortured to remain obedient. The monkeys are often outfitted in dresses and cowboy hats and forced to carry parasols or ride tiny bikes. This animal abuse will definitely hurt the monkeys.
Second, the ban of masked monkey show can help improve public order. Topeng monyet is often performed when traffic is backed up at notoriously congested intersections. This will disturb the sight and create traffic jams for many motorists or pedestrians will slow down to watch the shows.
Third, banning the dancing monkeys is a necessary public health measure. It is important to rescue the monkeys from street performances and help prevent diseases carried by the monkeys.
The monkeys used in topeng monyet may not be healthy and may have potential to some diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.
Considering the reasons stated above, topeng monyet should be banned for it exploits the monkeys, causes traffic jams and spreads illnesses such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.

Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the use of seat belts. In European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time. However, this new regulation has become controversial and is an interesting topic to discuss. Here are some of the arguments.
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.
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 seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn’t mean that we are completely safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

Old cars do not use seat belts
The old cars have seat belts for their safety
The drivers wearing seat belts may drive carefully
The traffic conditions in the past were similar to the recent
The old cars’ designer considered a seat belt as an important part

Apartments Offer Practical Living
