 Title : Global Warming

Structures
1	Title	Global Warming
2	Thesis	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.
3	Argument	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). ·
4	Conclusion / Reiteration	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.

The Importance of Learning English

In this modern era, there are a lot of people who still can’t speak English. Actually, there are many benefits of learning English. Here are two reasons why it’s important.

First, English opens new career opportunities. These days, many companies need employees who can communicate with clients from around the world. Usually, it means someone who can speak English because English is an international language. Being a bilingual person, you can get the opportunity to work in a global company.

Second, English tests can get you into schools. You probably already know English tests such as TOEFL and IELTS. If you learn English well enough to pass English tests like TOEFL, you can study in English-language universities across the globe. Although you aren’t going to study abroad, learning English can help you in making the thesis because there are a lot of sources use English languages.

There are indeed many other benefits of learning the English language. But, the two reasons above help us to believe that English is important for our life and by learning English languages we can communicate with many people from other countries.
