Whales
Whales 1 (be) an important part of people’s lives for thousands of years. For
a long time whales 2 (hunt) and 3 (kill) on a large scale. Even
in the years to come, thousands of these marine mammals, which 4 (prove) to
have a high intelligence, 5 (kill).
Commercial whale hunting, which 6 (start) in 1700s, was a very big business
until about 60 years ago. Wales 7 (hunt) so that people could use the whale
fat for oil in lamps and to make candles and soap. The plates from baleen whales 8
(use) for making women’s clothing, umbrellas and other things.
Whaling 9 (go on) for centuries, taking tens of thousands of whales a year.
Technology 10 (allow) whalers to hunt faster whales and to carry on their hunts
throughout the world’s oceans. New technologies and the high demand for whale products 11
(decrease) many whale populations. The number of the whales that 12
(slaughter) was so high that many whale populations were incapable of
recovering.
Because females 13 (breed) until they are mature (over ten years of age), and
only one little whale 14 (bear) in two years, whales could not produce enough
young to replace the numbers that 15 (kill) by whalers.
When some whale populations 16 (decrease) in such a large number that they 17
(become) almost extinct, the whalers realized that some sort of resource
management 18 (need). In 1946 the International Convention for the
Regulation of Whaling 19 (introduce). The original purpose of the
Convention was to set the rules to help increase whale populations so that the whaling industry
20 (can continue).
Today, commercial whaling 21 (forbid) almost everywhere in the world. In
spite of the international ban, many whale populations 22 (recover) and 23
(consider) to be threatened or endangered. There are still some countries in
which whales 24 (hunt), but, hopefully, because of the pressure from concerned
people they 25 (force) to reconsider their actions and stop killing these magnificent
creatures.
school really plays an important role in our life. you may like it or you may not but we spend so much time at school that it becomes our second home. and no doubt this is true. what is the role of school in modern age? first of all it is making students literate. all students study for eleven years to get knowledge. and the most important role of school is giving knowledge. there are students who like studying because they are doing well in most subjects and they are going to continue their education after school, get higher education. but for those who are not successful in schooling and who are always pressed by their parents and teachers school becomes boring and not interesting.
the education given at our school is of a very high standard. i'm a good student actually and i don't have many problems with schooling. i generally get on quite well with the teachers. i am quite successful in class and i usually go to school with pleasure, because i like my school and my teachers.
i think school gives me not only knowledge. children are taught real life there. school helps us understand our life better. school is a place where we create and develop our relationships, are taught to be tolerant and respect one another. and school teaches us principles and how not to lose face in difficult situations.
