Transportation by bicycle has many advantages such as the preservation of the environment, the health and fitness.

Environmental side is a reducing the use of gasoline because the nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide result from the combustion of gasoline and are a leading cause of global warming, Which causes high water temperature and the speed of the melting of snow at the poles oceans and the high temperature of the earth and the occurrence of floods, droughts and heat waves, so a significant impact on the ozone. Also people must educate about the reduction of unnecessary uses of gasoline causing damage to the environment.

Exercise #6

ARGUMENT 1

The following are the basic factors of an argument:

·       A position or a point of view

·      An attempt to persuade others to accept that point of view

·       Reasons given to support that point of view.

·      Conclusion

Read the following passage and identify the following:

Main argument:

 The risks that may be caused if you kept a cat in the house

for pregnant women ,newborns and weak the immune.

Reasons that support the argument:

 The consequences if a woman became infected pregnant, the fetus can become infected as a result of parasites and suffer from a serious congenital damage.

Conclusion:

Effects of the disease are not clear in cats but should be conducted medical examinations weekly or monthly for cats to make sure they are not exposed to any disease and avoided pregnant women and babies.

It is important that pregnant women and those with a poor immune systems become aware of the potential risks posed by cat. Many of us keep cats as house pets without realizing the dangers they may be harboring. Cats are hosts to infectious protozoa that cause disease in mammals such as humans. Adult humans rarely showed signs of significant disease if they become infected. However, if pregnant women become infected, the foetus can become infected by parasites and suffer serious congenital damage. In the worst cases, infants may lose their eyesight and acquire motor deficits. In people with poor immune systems or AIDS protozoa can cause seizure and death. The symptoms of the disease are not evident in cats so there is no way of knowing if a particular cat is at risk.

Exercise #2

CASE STUDY – Critical Thinking ORRIN BROWN

1-because it was the mothers mistake to give her son a car and he is a new driver and it was too late.

2-  Because police had a reason to follow him before he made any accidents or trouble also because he was risking other drivers life with his bad driving and too fast.

3-because the large number of accident with this kind of cars while negotiating a sharp curve, the manufacturer has a responsibility.

Therefore, I recommend to the mother and the manufacturer that they are guilty and that the police are not guilty because they are doing their job for any suspicion of danger you see happening in the street.
