The reading passage points out that the level of salt in Salton Sea’s water is increasing for years, thus proposes three solutions to solve this problem. However, the professor in the lecture disagrees with the solutions.
First, the reading passage believes that the salt and other materials would be left behind by pumping and heating water. However, the professor says the left material may be toxic to animals and humans. If the wind blows the materials, people may bring them in. That is dangerous to human health. Thus, this solution is not feasible.
Second, the reading passage proposes to bring ocean water into the lake to decrease the lake’s salinity. However, the professor thinks the local government may not have enough resources to build the pipelines to do this. Meanwhile, considering the long distance between the lake and nearest ocean, this project could be very expensive.
Third, the reading passage indicates that dividing the lake into several sections by constructing walls could control the lake’s salinity. The professor argues that the walls may work for a short time. If earthquake happens in the lake, the walls may be destroyed and the salinity would be back again. Therefore, this solution could not solve the problem actually.
November 13, 2019 at 5:18 amSince the pace of life is getting faster, some people believe that regular family meals are not important as before. Personally speaking, I disagree with that.
First of all, regular family meal is a significant way to get together with family members. As the pace of life being faster, the time with family is becoming less and less. However, accompanying family is still necessary for the happiness of family.
Company rather than work is the base to the happiness of family. If people get hurt or have trouble in their work, they can share with family by having meals together. It is a helpful way to release their pressure and relax. With the time that family gets together gets less, the time which family eats together is the only time they can get together. As a result, regular family meal is more important than before.
Additionally, regular family meal is beneficial for children’s growth. In children’s eyes, parents are their whole world. And eating with parents is a way to get care from parents, which could make children feel happy. Also, for parents, they could know about some recent things about their children and help children in time during meals. Therefore, family meal provides a solution for communication between children and their parents. When I was a child, I usually have dinner with my parents. It was a good time to share my trouble with my parents during the meals. My parents always solve my problem with patience, which helped me a lot. The memory is priceless to me and my family still keeps this tradition until now.
Sometimes, people may need to works so that they could not have meals with family. Nevertheless, these special cases are not the reason that they could cancel the family meals. In other cases, I believe that people should try their best to get together to have meals.
All in all, although our society works faster, it is still important to keep a regular family meal.
