My favorite class is psychology and whenever I have a project in that class I want to spend extra time on it and make sure it is good because the topic is important to me.

For example, in source 1, by Elisabeth Rosenthal, it states that " And that, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes....passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States".  50 percent is a large number to be taken up by cars alone, if we can reduce car reduction, we can reduce greenhouse gasses.  Another example of why car reduction is an advantage is because of the pollution and smog areas.  You can clearly see this being stated in source 2, by Robert Duffer, "[The smog] rivaled Bejing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world."  If Bejing, were to do what Paris did, they too could reduce smog and pollution by car reduction.  Also, in Bogota, Columbia, they have no car days, to limit the amount of smog.  However, limiting car usage to better the environment is not the only reason of why it is an advantage.

For example, as stated in source 4, by Elisabeth Rosenthal, New York, is starting several programs to use cars less, including car-sharing, skyrocket bridge, tunnel tolls, and bike sharing programs.  In that source, it also says that when someone stops using a car, for whatever reason, they find it unnesasary to continue using cars, mostly because some citys are becoming more centralized again, and it's becoming easier to walk to stores.  However, thats not the only reason that it's being less nessasary to own a car. Another reason is because of improved telecommuting methods.  In source 4, Mimi sheller is quoted while talking about how people don't feel the need to drive to see their friend, instead they use their phone or computer to communicate.  Another reason for limiting car usage is because it is becoming less popular.

The summer months are a key time for both students and teachers to regroup from the school year that just occurred, and to prepare for the school year that is to come at the end of their short break. This time is important to both groups because it is a more care free period where they are not under the constant pressure school brings. This time can be very beneficial for everyone to prepare for the next school year. Studies have shown that students who do not continue to do educational work over the summer months fall behind and lose the information they gained during the prior school year.

After the long school year the last thing a student wants to do is more work. If a student was to design their own project it probably would not be helpful. A teacher is able to access what is necessary to learn before the class starts and they will be able to create a project that is nothing but beneficial. In my own past experiences the summer projects have never been very difficult but they have required a small amount of my time and energy. When these projects were spread out I was able to complete them well and they helped me. I have never had a project assigned to me over the summer months that was necessarily difficult and I have never received a large amount of them at the same time. It is usually only required by a few core classes and it is not difficult to complete them. The only thing they really require is the time. They need to e done in a timely manor and done to the best ability to prepare for the next year.

Managing time is one of the most important, yet difficult portion of a summer project but it is also something that is very difficult. Not only is it important for that summer project but those time management skills carry over into the coming school year. A project that is designed by a student may not properly prepare you for the rigor of the curriculum that is to come or the amount of time that is necessary for the class. A teacher creating a project will be able to demonstrate how much time the student will need to put in for their class in the upcoming year. If a student is able to manage their time well during the summer months when there is always something better to do then they will be able to manage all of their classes and those course loads better. They will have a better idea of what they need to do to succeed in the next school year.

The classes over the years have only gotten more difficult in my personal experience and before y freshman year none of my teachers assigned any work for me to complete during the summer. I did not know anything about them on the first day or what the courses would be like. It was frightening and looking back I wish at least one of my teachers had assigned some form of work for me to do so that I had some idea of what I was getting into. It was sort of like being thrown into the deep end of a pool before ever learning how to swim. Keeping my head above water wasn't tasking but I was unable to swim to where I wanted. it took a little bit of time before I was actually comfortable in my classes and having some summer work would have made it much easier to transition into those classes

When I was younger the idea of summer was much different then it is today, just like the school years have changed. When I was younger my parents were involved in most aspects of my life and knew what summer work I had to do. I was taught that in order to succeed, I would have to do the work and do it well. I would never be able to reach my goals if I did not get the necessary things done on time and summer work was no different. Now I know that summer work is a large possibility for my breaks and f it is assigned it should be done. it is being assigned for a reason therefore I should complete it.

In conclusion, I believe that all the assignments that I am given during the summer months are well done and should be designed by the teachers instead of the students doing it for themselves. In the past the summer assignments that I have been given have not been too difficult and I never really minded doing them. The teacher is the one who teaches the class and if they expect us to have prior knowledge of the class then they should be the ones designing it. It is not going to be harmful and there is plenty of time over the summer for it to be completed so I do believe that a project designed by teacher over the summer is more beneficial then one that would be designed by a student.

Despite how many set backs people have had with trying to land rovers and other machines on Venus, people are still trying to find a way to gain further knowledge about the planet. With the temperature being set at 800 degrees Fahrenheit, that could be enough alone for human do die. That would be like going into a fire. Even if they managed to build something to with stand higher heat, the atmosphere is made up of 97% carbon dioxide. The planet is practically burning causing carbon dioxide to blanket the whole planet. The atmosphere still stands at a 170 degree temperature. High enough temperature can metal some metals and most materials or burn them.

But I human most likely will never be able to withstand those conditions even if they were in a machine that protected them.

Many people have their way of expressing themselves and sometimes you can be curious of how they're feeling. Which is good because the more you look at something you study it and you put piece and piece together until you solve it. Look at pragraph 7, it gives you something to do while your looking in the mirror, to make a face expression, and the face they told you to make was smiling. It's showing how easily you can describe someone face just by describing the face and the muscle form. It's not always good for everyone to know what you're face is expressing because thats just dull. It's not important for people to know, which will just make you more curious of you

This is my opinion on the software. I think that it is useless. It really is something that is happening now in this world is that technology is taking over us and what we do. We barley use our brains to study or read over something because we use the internet for that. We don't play outside or even try to look at new things in the world because were distacted by our phones or the tv. Most people are barley active and decide just to lay around and look at a screen. Now this is another thing less for a person to worry about, and slowly things that we are capable of doing by ourselves and using our head wouldn't be neccary because there's a sofware to that for us. Artist express themselves in art and they want people to figure it out and admire their painting, not a software to tell us. We become intelligent more each day if we use our head and take time to think about and thats something that is good for the people.

I understand that they want to find a way to stop having so much smog in the area. But I mean, what's the point? You can't catch everyone that is out on a certain day that isn't in the right vehicle or has the right numbers on their lisence plate. I think it's so ridicoulus that people should even have to assign days when people can leave or when they can't leave.

They want to go because they want to show how Venus look like. So people can go live in Venus, but NASA don't want to send people because is so danger. In the solar system Venus is the second plane from the sun. Venus is call the "Evening Star" because it is the brightest point of light in the night sky. It is the twin planet of the Earth because it have the same side of the Earth, and in distance is the closed plane that Earth have. "Each previous mission was unmanned, and good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Venus have 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets. On other planets the temperature average is about 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric is abuot 90 times greater than what we experience. "Also Venus have the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even Mecury is closer to our sun. Long time ago Venus was probably covered by ocean and could have supported varius forms of life, just like Earth. NASA is trying to make mechanical computer the ones that help a lot in WW II, so they don't have to used people, but they have to use more tegnology.

In conclution that is a good idea because human need more space to live and some people like the idea to explor what is outside the Earth. "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation".

Phone use and driving are two activities that should never be intertwined. Using a phone while driving is not acceptable. The level of distraction that comes from using a phone takes a driver's attention away from the road. A driver's attention should be focused on the roadway, not a phone screen. Cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle has led to a heartbreaking amount of people losing their lives and even more injuries. It is simply not safe and can lead to dangerous and heart wrenching moments.

Looking down at a cell phone for 5 sec while going just 55 mph means that you have just crossed the length of an entire football field without looking up at the road. The AAA Foundation For Traffic Safety ranked using a hands-free mobile device as a level 2 distraction and texting while operating a vehicle as a level 3 distraction, the highest level. Such distractions are unacceptable when operating a motor vehicle, it could lead to injuries or worse. A study conducted by Cambridge Mobile Telematics revealed that roughly 52% of drives that resulted in a crash were caused by distracted driving, and roughly eleven teens die per day as a result of texting and driving. Inexperienced drivers, such as teens, are more prone to engage in distracted driving, and are more likely to suffer a crash or accident when engaging in distracted driving. Having your attention focused on anything other than the road is a terrible and dangerous idea, and should not be tolerated under any circumstance.
