Each mission that was sent to Venus no spacecraft has survived more than a few hours. In paragraph 2, it states "not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." Not one person have been missioned to go to Venus for those reasons. In paragraph 3, it states "temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit." Also in paragraph 3, is saids "the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." These issues are way too dangerous for humans to be on. Solar power could be plentiful but the raditation would not exceed Earth levels. This may still be survival for humans.

They tend to procrastinate a lot, especially during the summer. Students may go on summer vacation or have plans with friends; whatever the reason may be, many do not think of summer assignments as a priority. Teachers also have summer break, which many people tend to forget. If summer assignments were student-designed, teachers would most likely have to do routine progress checks, because of the lack of motivation shown by students. This would be inconvenient for both the teacher and the student. Although summer assignments are not necessarily a main priority, they are still vital for the upcoming school year, especially if a student is taking an honors class.

As there are many benefits to having student-designed summer assignments, they are less reliable than if the assignment were to be teacher-designed. Teachers have a better understanding of the content, are well-prepared, and can answer questions easily. Although students may find it less enjoyable, they are incapable of producing an assignment that would help them be the most prepared for the course. Students' lack of motivation, inadequate knowledge of content, and difficulty of coming to agreements all make it unfeasible.

For starters, the residents in Vaulban, Germany have given up their cars. Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbudden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg. Vauban's streets are completely "car free"--except the main thoroughfare. Car ownership is allowed, but there are only two places to park--large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for forty thousand dollars, along with a home. As a result, seventy percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and fifty seven percent sold their cars just to move here. In the passage, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and a mother of two, she quotes," When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Additionally, Cars are the linchpin of suburbs, where middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai ten to make  their homes. Experts say that that is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emmissions from tailpipes. Passenger cars are responsible for twelve percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to fifty percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States. Futhermore, after days of near-record pollution, Paris, France enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, states that congestion was down sixty percent in the capital of France, after just five days of intensifying smog.

So they formed the UNRRA and hired ''Seagoing Cowboys.'' Both I and Don Signed up.

They got their seaman's papers and and borded the SS Charles. W. Wooster. They then headed for Greace. Before I got to Greace he turned 18 wich ment the military could draft me .''When my draft board learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip,they tolde me to just keep doing that for my service,'' Luke says. ''The cattle boat trips were an unbeliavable opportunity for a small-town boy,'' Besides helping people, I had the side benifit of seeing Europe and China.'' but seeing the Acropolis in Greace was very speacial. So was takeing a gondola ride in Vince, Italy a city with streets of water.'' It was also hard work. I had to clean, feed, and care for the anamals. I seved as a night wathman, meaning I had to cheak on all the anamals and report to the captin every hour. One ranny night after my hourly report I slipped on a ladder and fell on my backside.

Schools that require students to continue learning during the summer will see positive results in students academic lives. Designated work from teachers will greatly help alumni master and perfect classroom skills. Not to mention, students will acquire more knowledge on these areas with the extra help that was provided. If the teacher knows what their students need to work more on, those students will soon be ready to take on anything once school is in cession again. If students were given the liberty to pick their projects, would the students actually learn from it? What happens if the student chooses an easy project, when they could have been working on some other topic that they know they have trouble with? This will certainly not be a good idea. As professionals, teachers know what is best for their students if they have been observing their classroom performance. However, Many teachers sometimes overlook a few things in which student have trouble with. When this happens the student should take a step forward and let their teacher know what it is they think they need to work. This way the teacher can look back and verify is this person does need to practice more in the areas that they may be struggling.
