To the
manager of Taco Tacontento
I am writing to bring to your
attention a serious issue I had in your establishment last week. I ordered
a vegetarian bean burrito, and halfway through my meal, I bit into what
turned out to be a chicken bone.
I am a vegetarian, and the
presence of bone in my burrito was jarring. I showed the bone to the staff,
who offered to make me a new burrito with the same beans the bone
presumably came from. I did not want to risk eating any meat of finding another
bone, so I asked for a taco salad instead.
I am a regular customer at your
restaurant, and I have never had any problems with your food in the past.
While I am relatively certain this was a fluke, I am still concerned about
how the bone got into the beans. I would like to know how this might have
happened.
I am also concerned with the ack
of understanding I received from the staff member who helped me. I don’t
know if she was working alone of merely misunderstood my request, but she
refused to let me speak to her supervisor while I was in the restaurant. I
felt she acted very unprofessionally.
I hope to hear back from you
about this incident. I can be reached by phone at (555)867-5309 at any time
or by email at mhoss@mailclient.com.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Hoss

All
human beings eat foot and make use of th chemical energy in it, so do all other
animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why
doesn’t the food all get used up?
The
anwers is that new food is being grown as fast as ld food is used to. It is the
greeb plants that from new food animals either eat the plants or eat
othsunlighter animals that have eaten plants.
The
green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chorophyll can adsorb sunlight. When
it does so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical
energy present in sunlit chorophyll is used combine dioxide in the air with
water from the soil. Starch and other complicated compounds are forme
d. These are high in chemical energy
obtained from the sunlit chorophyll.
They make up the food on which mankind and all other
animals live. In the process of forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into
the air by the plants. The whole process
is called photocyntesis.
Thus,
plants use sunlight to form food and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water
again. Plants change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals change
the animal energy into kinetic and heat energy.

The
following text is for question 30 to 32
Nowadays,
many people have realized that agriculture is much more important than other
supporting tools in economic development. In Indonesia, agriculture should be
the priority of development because of some good reasons.
First
of all, the agriculture’s contribution in the beginning of the development of
the country was the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half of the
total Indonesian labors are working in aagriculture sectors, but the
contribution of agriculture sector does not reach 30 percent.
Second,
agriculture sector is expected to fulfill the need of food in the country. As
the number of population increases in an alarming rate each year, food supply
must also increase but agricultural production percapita never increases more
than one precent each year, and in some extreme cases, it is even stangnant.
Last
but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of industrial sector
will be hampered because the growth that coes from industry will bring a wider
gap into the internal economy in that country. In turn, this gap will create serious poverty problem, wider
inequality of income distribution, and increase unemployment.
Based
on the above discussion, it is obvious that the government should put
agriculture as the priority of national development.

It
is just one of three movies opening this week featuring rising star George
MacKay, a gifted and versatile actor whose ship appear to have come. In this
affecting and atmospheric fable he plays Aaron, the sole survivor of mysterious
fishing accident in which several souls were lost, including his long-idolised
older brother.
Stigmatized
by the insular Scottish community who blame him for the enexplained tragedy and
anraptured by fairytale memories of a ses devil that swallowed children into
its “dirty belly” , this wandering ghost is drawn back to the dark waters whose
whispered secreats haunt his waking dreams. With its shifting visual and avocativesoundscpes,
this is an arresting and hypnotic feature debut from writer-director Paul
Wright, who won a Bafta with his short film Until the River Runs Red.
The
extraordianary Kate Dickie is utterly believable as the heartbroken mother
whose beside stories fired her son’s imagination, and whose karaoke rendition
of the First Time Ever I Saw Your Face rings with almost unbeareable pathos.
Michael Smiley is equally strong as the putative father-in-law with an
overprotective mean streak who becomes Aaron’s physical adversary, but the real
monsterhere are altogether more mythical and elusive. A full aweek after first
viewing, I find myself still sifting through montage images that linger in the
mind like a half-remembered dream.

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
Marry Higgins Clark
Reading
Marry Higgins Clark always remind me of watching “Murder She Wrote”.The show
usually had three plot lines – the standard “rule of three” – and by the end of
the hour it was wrapped neatly like a nice package with Angela Lansbury tying
up the loose ends by solving the case brilliantly. Throught we knew the
formula, it never kept us from tuning in, usually for the sheer pleasure of
escape and watching the story unfold.
The
three plot in All Throught the Night concern a stolen chalice, a missing baby
and a will which seems to be fraudulent. To solve the mystery, she revives her
beloved characters Alvirah and Willy Meehan – the former cleaning woman and
plumber who won the lottery and left their life in Jackson Heights, Queens for
an apartment on central park. Like Angela Lansbury, the two of them have fun along the way solving the
way solving the puzzle.
The
pace is swift and the story is a pure escape – totally fun Mary Higgins Clark.
I admit however, that I am still trying to conjure up what the melody of the
song “All Throught the Night” sounds like
This
holiday season, put the aside your chores and curl up on the couch with “All
Throught the Night”. When you close it you will be relaxed and more ready to
enjoy the festivities. and then you might just want to tuck a copy into
someone’s stocking or gift bag, as well.

Part of the decision to live
the homeschooling lifestyle should include weighing the pros and cons of
homeschooling. Those who favor homeschooling state that it is educational freedom.Most
homeschooled students have the choice to study and learn what they
want,when they want,for as long they want.With your lives no longer
revolving around school hours,homework and the school calendar,your family
can plan off-season vacations, visit parks and museums during the
week,andlive your lives according to what works for you.Next,it is
certainly emotional freedom.Sadly,peer pressure,competition,boredom,and
bullies-are all part of a typical school day .Homeschooled kids can
dress,act and think the way they want,without fear of ridicule or a need to
“fit in”.But,the opponents are of different views.Homeschooling is time restraints. Homeschooling can
be a full-time job unto itself.It takes research,preparation,time to set
up,clean-up,organization,and of course,teaching itself.This is lot to do on
top of other work,be that a job outside the home,or all that goes with
running a family.It also has financial
restraints .For married parents,one partner often foregoes full-time
employment out of the home in order to homeschool.This can be a big
sacrifice for families who are struggling to balance their budget.

Parents prefer homeschooling to conventional education as …
A. homeschooling frees children from
physical,mental and emotional pressures
B. conventional schooling takes up
sizeable time and money of parents

education tends to put more emphasis on academic learning

children’s talent can be more optimally developed

The Music Downloading Controversy
As the title implies there is an
ongoing debate about music downloading. The Recording Industry Association
of America (RIAA) along with several recording artist filed lawsuits
against the company alleging that they “infringed” on record
labels’copyrighted music is illegal, but many industry professionals avid
downloaders and legal experts are still debating whether or not it can be
viewed as immoral.
There are those who believe that downloading a song without paying
for it is not only illegal,but immoral. Nonetheless,people continue to
download songs anyway,rationalizing that the record companies are getting
what they deserve years after overpriced CD’s or that the artists won’t
really miss the money.Some people are not sure what to make of the
situation,sympathizing in some respects with either side.There are several
proposed solutions to this problem,but it has become obvious that there is
not easy or clear answer.
After recording companies experienced record losses over the last
few years contributed largely to this controversial practice,the RIAA has
made its positions clear.They commenced to “take legal action against
thousands of people for illegally sharing music files”.They view this as
the first step to encouraging file-sharers to stop illegally downloading
music.RIAA is not the only parties potentially harmed by illegal file-sharing,but also the
artists who work to produce these albums Recording artists Anastasia feels
that “if you dig an artist that much,then you should want to help keep that
artists alive,by purchasing one file-sharing is a considered a large threat
to the entertainment industry.
Many down-loaders realize that this activity is illegal,but they are
unclear about how it can be construed as unethical.Many of the individuals
who engage in file sharing are teenagers undoubtedly with limited budgets.For
them ,the harmfull effects of their download on multimillionaire recording
artists are negligible.Futhermore,it is difficult for them to viem the
situation from the standpoint of pampered artists and greedy recording
companies.In the day before music down-loads,CDs cost about $17.99.Listener
often argued that they had overpaid because albums have only one or two
good songs.Moreover, artists usually only received a fraction of the
proceeds,making recording companies wealthy.Others believe that downloading
music is okay as long as the person does not burn CDs and sell them.

okay unless for business purposes

Climate change is the consequence of unchecked olution.
When carbon emissions caused by human activity enter the air they have
dangerous effects on the environment, the economy, and our wellbeing. But
Justas humans cause it, we can stop its progress. Climate change is caused
by trapping exces carbon in Earth’s atmosphere, This trapped carbon
pollution heats up, altering the Eart’s climate patterns. The largest
source of this pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and
oil for energy. While carbon has entered the atmosphere for millions of year
through natural events such as forest fires and volcanoes, the burning of
fossil fuels and the clearing of land have resulted in the highest levels
of greenhouse pollution in our atmosphere in the last 800,00 years. The
Earth’s atmosphere has evolved to retain sufficient warmth from the sun to
encourage a healthy, dynamic ecosystem, while shielding us from its harsher
effects. The introduction of huge amounts of excess pollutants thickens
this blanket of protective gases, causing heat to remain trapped within,
rather than harmlessly escaping skywards. These gases can remain in our
atmosphere for up to 90 years, contributing to long-term warming.

There are many kinds of
cactus plant, but most grow in deserts and other dry places. Theses plants
have adaptations, or special features, that let them live in places where
there is little weater.
Imagine only having of take
one big drink of water two or three times a year1 That’s all the water a
cactus plants need. The cactus is made up mostly of stems and roots. Most
kinds of cactus have no leaves or leaves that are very small. The cactus is
made for storing water, and water can escape through leaves.
The roots of a cactus spread
out close to the surface of the ground. When it rains, the root soak up as
much water as possible. Cactus plants do not close to one another. Each
plant needs lots of room to collect water. The stem of the cactus stores
the water for the later use.
When spring rains fall on
the desert, the cactus plants bloom. Beautiful yellow,red,orange, and white
flowers appear on cactus plants. These flowers grow singly rather than in
bunch.
