          Living things include both the visible world of animals and plants as well as the invisible world of bacteria and viruses. On a basic level, we can say that life is ordered. Organisms have an enormously complex organization. Life can also “work”. Living creatures can take in energy from the environment. This energy, in the form of food, is changed to maintain metabolic processes and for survival. Life grows and develops. This means more than just getting larger in size. Living organisms also have the ability to rebuild and repair themselves when injured. Life can reproduce. Life can only come from other living creatures. Life can respond. Think about the last time you accidentally stubbed your toe. Almost instantly, you moved back in pain. Finally, life can adapt and respond to the demands placed on it by the environment. There are three basic types of adaptations that can occur in higher organisms.
          Reversible changes occur as a response to changes in the environment. Let's say you live near sea level and you travel to a mountainous area. You may begin to experience difficulty breathing and an increase in heart rate as a result of the change in height. These signs of sickness go away when you go back down to sea level.
          Body- related changes happen as a result of prolonged changes in the environment. Using the previous example, if you were to stay in the mountainous area for a long time, you would notice that your heart rate would begin to slow down and you would begin to breath normally. These changes are also reversible. Genotypic changes (caused by genetic change) take place within the genetic make up of the organism and are not reversible. An example would be the development of resistance to bug-killing chemicals by insects and spiders

Traffic jam is a common affair in the big cities and towns. It is one of the major problems of modern time. The causes of traffic jam are many. In proportion to our population roads have not increased. The roads are all the same. There are many unlicensed vehicles which should be brought under control. The drivers are not willing to obey the traffic rules. They want to drive at their sweet will. Overtaking tendency also causes traffic ham. The number of traffic police is insufficient. At office time traffic jam is intolerable. Sometimes traffic jam is so heavy that it blocks half a kilometre. It kills our valuable time and our works are hampered. It causes great sufferings to the ambulance carrying dying patients and the fire brigade vehicles. However, this problem can be solved by adopting some measures. Well planned spacious roads should be constructed. One way movement of vehicles should be introduced. Traffic rules should be impost strictly so that the drivers are bound to obey them. Sufficient traffic police should be posted on important points. Unlicensed vehicles should be removed. After doing all these things we can hope to have a good traffic system for our easy and comfortable movement.

My favourite film is Avatar. It is a science fiction film with the newest technology 3D. The film was directed by James Cameron with the acting of Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana. This film takes place in the year of 2154 and brings us to a spectacular world beyond imagination called Pandora. Jake Sully, a disabled former marine decides to take his brother's place in a mission on the Pandora. Later, he realises that he can walk again in his avatar and later he falls in love with a native girl. Finally, he didn't obey the control of people from real life, he helps the natives fight for their home. The film is romantic and gripping with many special effects.

Cooking is my favorite hobby. My grandmother taught me how to cook my first dish when I was 8. My family enjoyed it so much so that is when I started this hobby. Some people say cooking is a waste of time but I find this hobby very interesting and meaningful. I really love trying new food and cooking for my family. The feeling of making my family happy with my food is amazing. I often collect recipes from my mother and my grandmother. Sometimes I also get recipes from the internet. Then I write them in a notebook. I hope I will become a good chef and have my own cookery book in the future.

We live in age of energy crisis. Oil is one of the major sources of energy that we use. It is a fact known to all of us that oil is not going to last much longer. Therefore we must use it carefully and wisely without wasting even a drop of it. There are many ways in which we can save oil. Avoid using personal vehicles as far as possible. Use a common vehicle to commute. This can be easily done by car pools. Walk or ride a bicycle for short distance. The gas burner in the kitchen should be turned off when it is not being used. Do not keep the dishes immediately on the stove after taking out from the refrigerator. Let it come to the room temperature. Use only as much water as required while cooking dishes. More gas is consumed if there is more water. Maintain your vehicle in good condition so that it consumes less fuel. Also while driving, switch off when you have to wait for more than two minutes at the Red Lights. These are some of the ways to save oil and thus save energy.
