One of the chief obstacles to happiness is referred to as social comparison. When people compare
themselves to other people, they prefer to see themselves as in some way superior. In an
experiment, social scientists asked whether people would prefer earning birr 50,000 per year
while their peers earned birr 25,000 per year, or whether they would prefer earning birr
100,000 per year while their peers averaged birr 250,000 per year. Even though people would
earn more in the latter scenario, most chose the former as a consequence of their desire to see
themselves as more successful than others (Layard, 2005).

2 (In addition / Thus), a simple way to increase happiness is for people to reject the urge to
compare themselves to others based on their finances and to live within their means.

Should parents pay money as a prize for their success in their learning ? This issue is a subject of
controversy for years. some people consider money for chores a form of bribery, while others take as
a source of motivation. and others feel that children should just do their chores anyway, without the
incentive of an allowance.
However Furthermore on the other hand For Example

In some western, students are not required to attend classes. ____________, professors in
Germany generally do not know the names of the students enrolled in their courses. In
Ethiopia ,______________, students are required to attend all classes and may be penalized if
they do not. In the European system, students usually take just one comprehensive examination
at the end of their entire four or five years of study. In Ethiopian, __________________,
students usually have numerous quizzes, tests, and homework assignments, and they almost
always have to take a final examination in each course at the end of each semester.

People in western societies are largely so obsessed with time . It sometimes seems true that
for these people, time seems as valuable as money.____________ they even say," Time is
money." _____________ have you noticed how many English verbs can be followed by both
time and money? _____________ you can spend time, save time, lose time, find time, make
time, waste time, and run out of time. ____________ you can spend, save, lose, find, make,
waste, and run Out of money.___________________ North Americans seem to regard time

For example

Genetic research has produced both exciting and frightening possibilities. Scientists are now able
to create new forms of life in the laboratory because of the development of gene splicing. The
laboratory could greatly benefit humankind. One beneficial application of gene splicing is in
agriculture. _____________, researchers have engineered a more nutritious type of rice that
could help alleviate the serious problem of vitamin A deficiency. It is estimated that 124 million
children worldwide lack vitamin A, putting them at risk of permanent blindness and other
health issues. ______________, genetic engineers have created larger fish, frost-resistant
strawberries, and cows that produce more milk. Indeed agriculture has already benefited from the
promise of genetic engineering.

________________ these amazing achievements, not everyone is positive about gene-splicing

technology. Some people feel that it could have terrible consequences. In fact a type of corn
engineered to kill a certain insect pest also threatened to annihilate desirable monarch butterflies
__________ accident, a genetically engineered type of corn that was approved only for animal
consumption because it was toxic to humans accidentally cross-pollinated with corn grown for
humans. ___________, many countries banned imports of genetically modified corn for several
years. _____________, the ability to clone human beings is a possibility that frightens many
people. In 2004, two South Korean scientists reported that they had successfully cloned a human
embryo (Dreifus). The embryo did not develop into a baby however it is possible that one could
do so in the future, a possibility that not everyone is comfortable with.
Global warming has become one of the most serious issues for the last few years. Probably this
is the most worrying threat to our planet. Several factors contribute to this problem . The
essay outlines the major causes and possible solutions for this problem.

The first category of causes are global in nature. Over the past decades human societies
at global level created more industries . Over the same period , life demand the use of
automobiles, causing production of cars. The two phenomena , in turn, cause the emission of
carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. This emission of the toxic gas from industries is the
biggest cause of global warming. Another cause of global warming is deforestation. This is
typically an Ethiopian problem. Over the decades many African societies, including those
in Ethiopia, lost their forests . Today, we don’t have enough trees to absorb toxic gases due to
which pollution is increasing.

The root cause of both the local and global problems is overpopulation. Because of
overpopulation, forests are cleared for firewood. Because we do not have enough space to
live and to construct shelter, we have to clear forests. Because of this same phenomenon,
more people will need more cars to travel and use of automobiles have increased. Because of
the high living standard, there is more than one car in many houses. Everyone wants to travel on
their vehicle, people do not prefer public transport. This is also a reason for air pollution.

This problem seriously affects the environment and human life in general. Particularly, it
causes ecological imbalance . Some societies are suffering from health complications
because of this problem. For example, in major Asian cities it has become difficult to
breathe because of the toxic coming out from factories and automobiles.

All these problems shows that , we need short term and long term actions to tackle the
problem. In the short term, governments and researchers need to reduce the number of
factories that emit toxic gases. In the long run, policy actions should be taken to control
overpopulation. Finally, developed and developing countries should combine their resources
to recover forest covers.
