Global Warming

Global warming is a phenomenon used to describe the gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is not a new problem but lately people are acknowledging that we are facing a serious problem. Climate change is apparent everywhere. Failed crops, economic slowdown, and deforestation are among the several impacts of global warming.

First of all, there is irrefutable evidence that human activities have changed the atmosphere of our earth. Since the time we have been industrializing, we started polluting our waters and air, and have been releasing greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

Secondly, according to research by greenpeace organization, there is evidence of extensive deforestation being carried out in Indonesia and other tropical countries around the world. These forests are used to grow crops like palm sugar, palm oil and coffee-the lifeline of Western society (Greenpeace report, 2007). The impact of climate change is noticeable throughout Asia-Pacific, either during hot days or too much rain accompanied by wind and thunderstorm. This has started to affect the economy as well.

Furthermore, the shifting weather patterns have made it difficult for farmers to grow crops. A recent study has shown that due to unpredictable weather patterns, there have been a lot of failed crops (Reuters, 2007).

In conclusion, global warming is not a new problem nor are we solely responsible for it. But as the citizens of the world, we have to take every possible action to help overcome this issue. It is not only for us but for all the future generation to follow.

Text Organization	Banning Of Motorbikes Is Necessary In The Housing Areas	Language Featurea
Introduction (Thesis Statement)	Motorbikes are a nuisance and a cause for great distress. Even though motorbikes or considered as the most convenient from of transportation, I think they are a hazard to humans, animals, as well as the environment. Ithink motorbikes should be banned in housing areas due to the following reasons: cause of unreasonable amount of noise, air pollution, diseases,and accidents.	Mental Verbs I think I believe
Argument 1 + Elaboration	First of all, Iwould like to point out that motorbike are major constributor to the pollution in the wolrld. Research has shown that motorbikes emit a deadly gas that is dangerous for environment. Consequently, long-therm emission of gas from motorbikes is a major constributor of global warming (science daily).	Conjunctive relations First of all Secondly Causal conjunctions Consequently
Argument 2 + Elaboration	Secondly, according to report from BBC News Channel, motorbikes are also responsible for causing diseases such as bronchitis, cancer, and are a major trigger of asthma and high blood pressure. Some of the diseases are so gastly that they can  kill people (BBC News ,2009).	Generic reference Accidents
Argument 3 + Elaboration	Furthermore, motorbikes create so much noise. There is “Vroom Vroom” noise every where. It is extremely difficult to sleep parents with infants find it extremely challenging. The moment their babies fall a sleep, one or other motorbike passes by and the baby wakes up. It is also arduos for children to cocentrate on their homework. Expert are of opinion that  if there is extreme noise, It can lead to deafness and lack of cocentration in children and adults (Field,1993).	Children Parents
Argument 4 + Elaboration	Finally motorbikes are responsible for horrible accidents. In some cases there are deaths. Motorbikes riders go so fast that they are enable to stop on time thus they and up hitting other people or animals. Many a time lot of animals are trampled and found death and road. Motorbikes are known to be the biggest killers on road (field,1993).	Present tense Are responsible Go so fast Are known
	In conclusion, from the argumants above, I strongly believe that motorbikes should be banned from housing areas.
