The Effect of Gadget Toward Children Eye

The development of technology has made anyone to have access to anything. This condition
has brought huge impact to the society. One if the impact is health problem caused by the use
of gadget. Of all possible health problem resulting from the use of gadget, eye health is still
the major problem. Sadly, the major victim are children.

Handy gadget such as smartphone and tablet emit strong light in order to keep the display
clear and bright. The light produce by the gadget screen expose the eye of the users with
abundance amount of light that could damage the eye because the eye muscle will loose its
flexibility as it stays on stretched condition for long period. If the eye have lost its flexibility, the
eye will experience myopia or hipermetropy. If it happen to our children, they have to wear
glasses all the time.

The size of the gadget screen is small compare to our TV at home. When children use their
gadget, they usually don’t realize that they put it too close to their eyes. Many has reported
that after they play with their gadget for about two hours, they feel dizzy and they cannot see
clearly. The worst scenario that could happen to them if this condition continue was the
damage of the nerve system.
From the explanation above, it is obvious that we should not allow our children to play gadget
anymore, or in summary we can say that gadget is dangerous for children.

The benefits of vegetables

There are some benefits of vegetables that we need to know.

Vegetables prevent unwanted signs of aging and keep skin young and supple thanks
to phytonutrients, vitamin C and high water content. Choose brightly colored red and orange
vegetables and you’ll get an added boost of beta carotene, which can give you a healthy glow
as it protects skin from sun damage. Similarly, lycopene, found in red vegetables such as
tomatoes, also has been shown to act as a natural sunscreen.
 Meanwhile, nutrients like magnesium and vitamin C are quickly depleted during
stressful times. Luckily, many vegetables contain these very nutrients, as well as tension-
reducing omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins that fight anxiety and depression.

Some vegetables also have these same nutrients in addition to bone-building vitamin
K, magnesium, potassium and prebiotic fiber. Eat strong-spined, dark leafy greens like collard
greens, turnip greens, kale, spinach (cooked for more calcium!), broccoli and green peas for
calcium and vitamin K. Mushrooms contain vitamin D while asparagus, chard, kale, artichokes,
onions, garlic and leeks are full of prebiotic fiber.

Vegetables have many advantages for us.

Skateboarding

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active,
energetic and adventurous pastime.

Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of
skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and
old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food
from supermarkets.

Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It

increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and
ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together
and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.

Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch

potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take
drugs or break laws for fun.

Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s,
360s and Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the
suburbs so that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and
skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the
sun.

1. Where do the kids usually ride their skateboard?

A. In the main roads and foot paths

B. In front of the supermarket

Read the following text to answer questions number 5 to 10.

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we
should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon
them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking
weather some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time,
and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York
there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow,
they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One
bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’
worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t
need to built.

There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but
simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with
plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then
they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of
universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their
students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those
students have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued
parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be
community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the
car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as
Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues. People
were affected severely with the high fuel price like last year. Obviously they cut their
spending. As an example, they had to buy lower quality of rice or palm oil. There were also
fewer buyers of secondary commodities like flour, or canned meat or fish.

Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become even worse because their
expenses will increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will have to trim the
number of employees because they are incapable of managing, buying or selling price,
standard wages and personal affairs.

solution should be sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and utilizing it to
enhance productivity to its maximum.
