governments. All of these levels of government are necessary. This is so for number of reasons. First, the
federal government is necessary for the big things. They keep the economy in order and look after like
defense. Similarly, the state governments look after the middle sized things. For example they look after
law and order, preventing things like vandalism in school. Finally, local government look after the small
thins. They look after things like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have disease. Thus for the
reason above, we can conclude that the three levels of the government are necessary.

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.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for three reasons.
Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in
Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve
biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food
preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.

How we used to be
Felling together, believe in whatever
My love has said to me

Young love in the sun
Felt like my savior, my spirit I gave ya

Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever,
For the moment
Ever searching for the one

Every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I’d heard
Slipping through out fingers,
Like the sands of time
Promise made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind

Hasta Manana,
Always be mine

Was it just a dream
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold
And the secret’s safe with me

Hasta manana,
Always be mine

Outdoors
Song by: Jason Mraz

All day I’ve been inside

And I’ve got the feeling
I’m trapped between the walls
And underneath the ceiling
I feel a bit off track
And I’m trying to get back
Back in the cool, cool air where the sun is shinning
Nothing’s going to stop me
It’s all in the timing
It’s finally again my turn
It’s time to return
‘Cause I won’t stay inside no more
No more
I can’t wait to go
Outdoors
Well open up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free

In the early part of spring

You will hear, many birds sing
They are just letting, the rest of us know
Winter is over, spring melted the snow
You will notice, a beautiful scene
The trees will slowly, begin to turn green
Chipmunks and bunnies will come out and play,

Bees will make honey, inside their hives
So much to do, so much to see
Insects and animals are happy and free

B. Home
C. Love
D. Nature
E. Politics
