The auther also say in the artivcle (that the atmospher of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus. Even more challenging are in the clouds of the highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venis atmosphere. He said the on the planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degerees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 time greater than what we experience on our own planet.) Also the conditions are far more extree than anything humans encounter on the earth; such as environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deppest parts of our ocean and would liquefy many metals. Also notable, venus has the hottest surface temperature of any plantes in our solar system even though mercury is closer to ur sun.

Beyond high pressure and heat, venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like eruping volcanoes powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. Astronmers are fascinated by venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system. Still today venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth. The planet venus hasa surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains and craters. Furthermore , recall that venus can sometime be our nerest option for a planetary visit, a crucal consideration given the long time frames of space travel.

During the course of the school year, students learn and take part of the classroom life. Many take notes, create projects, listen to lectures, take tests, and more. However, by the end of the school year, teachers decide to give out summer projects. These projects can vary from reading textbooks to making a piece of artwork to assure learning during their break. There are many debates and questions about the use of summer projects. A certain question circulates around who should design the project; the teacher or the student.

Because they are well educated in the subject, they are able to create a project that is both relevant and useful to the students education. For example, my AP US History teacher is well knowledgeable about the history of the United States. Before the school year began, she assigned a project in which a student has to portray freedom in a piece of art. By doing this, she is able to connect freedom in history into a project that can create deep thought towards the subject.

As a student, I am able to see the hard work put into teaching a class. My teachers have to create the lessons, teach the information, grade paperwork, and much more. However, there is also the aspect of making sure that the students are controlled enough to have the needed information get across. This goes hand in hand with the knowledge of the teacher in the subject. Due to their position of power and the expertise they acquired, teachers know what to do for the education of students.

FD562A12092E
Students, after a tiring school year, want to relax during their summer break. By allowing students to design the project, they will create it in an uncaring way in order to get it over with. Students will not put the effort in both designing and finishing the project. This will create no benefit, growth, or thought in their education and academics. A personal example revolves around a project my English teacher once gave out. There was no prompt and no requirements other than a works cited. This created a hard time for students to figure out what they needed to do. As seen by this example, allowing students to design their own projects will create no benefit or direction. Without the direction of a teacher, students will not know what or how to do anything that is needed of them.
Evidence

FD562A12092E
allowing students to design summer projects is not the most beneficial. This is because the teachers know the information, teachers are in charge of the classroom, and students will have no motivation to create and finish the project. As experienced in personal life and much more, too much freedom is not always for the best.

With these two reasons we can determine the value that they would have in schools. grades would get better, some may inspire to work harder because someone or something can tell they are confused and need help. Another quote that can support my claim is that "Most human communication is nonverbal,including emotional communication," "so computers need to under stand that, too." What this means is that the one kid who is afraid to speak up and ask questions or the kids who cant speak at all will get better help, because the computers can identify what emotions they are feeling and help them.

Cars use a lot of gas and make the world polluted. There are communities that have given up their cars and are sticking to walking and riding bikes. There is a town in Germany called Vauban that make you pay $40,000 with your house if you want to have a parking space. Also in this town there are only two places to park and this means that 70% of the population there down own cars and 57% sold their cars to live there. People in this town say that living there with no cars relieves stress. In the city of Paris after days of pollution they made a ban on driving to fix the smog. On mondays motorist that had even number license plates were told not to drive or face a $31 dollar fine. On the next day odd number license plate couldnt drive. 4,000 people were fined and 27 had their cars impounded do to their reaction to the fine. Their were a couple exceptions like plug-in cars, hybrids, also cars carrying more then three people but they make plubic transit free from Monday to Friday. These acts are happening in countries like Colombia. In Bogota, Colombia they celebrate their third year where cars have been banned with the onmly motor transportation being buses and taxis. They call this day "The day without cars" in the capital city which has about 7million poeple. They are doing this to pormote other mean of transportation and violators adn fined $25. A lot of people like to participate in this because it lowers air pollution and stress. Because of this day this city has made 118 miles of bike paths. In America scientist have found that people 16- to -39 years old are not etting their license. With this drop scientist think that pollution will go down in America. In 2005 the number of miles was at its peak and dropped steadily after that. In April of 2013 the number of miles driven per person was 9% below the peak and is even with the the amount in 1995

The author did a great job supporting his/her previous statements. The author used many examples and real facts to back up the explanation of why we should keep studying and trying to get to Venus.

Venus is a complicated planet, with many features that are not imaginable. Although we haven't made many big discoveries about Venus itself, we will still continue to learn, look at, and love everything about it.

"On the planet’s surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet"(The Challenge of Exploring Venus 3). This quote represents everything previously stated. It speaks of the high temperatures and the atmospheric pressure on Venus' surface and atmosphere. "Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun"(The Challenge of Exploring Venus). This quote shows another fact that'll help back up other statements. It talks about how Venus actually has the hottest surface in our solar system.

In concluson, Venus should continue to be studied and should be understood by everyone. After reading this passage, it's hard not to see the beauty of life. After years and years of studying and learning, maybe one day we'll make a ground-breaking discovery about Venus, and we'll be able to inhabit the planet somehow, along with having a better understanding of our solar system
