A PROCESS OF DIGESTION

The digestive process is important in maintaining the lives of living organisms

and in providing them with needed energy. Groups of organs, such as the mouth,
esophagus, stomach, and intestines, work together to perform this complex task.
Digestion is the process of breaking down food from large molecules into small ones to
make it easier for absorption. The three major steps involved in the digestive process
are ingestion, digestion, and absorption.

Ingestion, which occurs in the mouth, is the first step of the digestive process.
After food enters the mouth, the teeth chew it. Saliva, which is produced by the salivary
glands, plays a major role in breaking down the food into smaller pieces. These small
pieces travel to the stomach through the esophagus.

In the stomach, the second step of the digestive process begins. When the
chewed food reaches the bottom of the esophagus, a valve lets the food enter the
stomach. Contraction of the stomach wall mixes the food. Acidic gastric juices, which
are secreted by the gastric glands in the stomach, help in mixing the food and in turning
it into a partial liquid so it will have the ability to move into the small intestine. In the
small intestine, enzymes are secreted, and digestion is completed.
The last step in the digestive process is absorption. Absorption takes place in
the small intestine. The wall of the small intestine is lined with small, finger like
projections called villi. Small molecules of food are absorbed by the huge number of villi.
Some of these absorbed molecules enter the bloodstream to be distributed throughout
the whole body.


In conclusion, the digestive process involves three major steps: ingestion,
digestion, and absorption. Ingestion, which occurs in the mouth, helps to increase the
surface are of the food particles and prepares them for digestion. In the stomach,
digestion begins, and it continues until it reaches the small intestine, where absorption
takes place. The digestive process maintains organisms' lives by providing them with
energy needed for different functions.

Vacationing at the Beach or in the Mountains

People are always looking forward to their vacation period. There are many
options where to choose. I think that the two most common places people choose for
taking a vacation are the beaches and the mountains. Both places offer a variety of fun
activities. The beach offers activities that the mountain cannot offer and vice versa. The
mountain and the beach are totally different. The purpose of this essay is to contrast the
climate, types of activities and locations of beaches and mountains.
Im going to discuss mountains first. The three aspects Im going to discuss are
climate, types of activities and location. Climate is always important in order to enjoy
vacations. If a person dislikes cold weather, he or she might have a hard time in the
mountains. The cold climate in the mountains is the first barrier to enjoying them, but
the climate and the temperature of these zones also determine the types of activities
they offer. Snowboarding, mountain climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and skiing are
some activities people can enjoy when going to the mountains. There are many regions
that have mountains where people can go and have a great vacation. Canada is a
country located in North America and contains many mountain vacation sites where
people can go and have fun.
Im going to discuss the beach second. The three aspects Im going to discuss
are climate, types of activities and location. Warm climate is one of the most important
features that the beach has. Sun and fun are two words that describe the beach. The
temperature in those places is always hot. The sea and the warm climate determine the
activities that are available at the beach. People can swim, play volleyball, play soccer,
and ride water bikes. In most coastal sites, there are discos and restaurants where
people can dance or party throughout the night. Mexico offers many amazing coastal
sites to visit. Acapulco and Cancun are two of the most beautiful and famous beaches in
the word.

It doesnt matter what place a person decides to choose. The fun is 100%
guaranteed. People often choose one of these two options to spend their vacations.
Depending on what the person likes is what he or she will choose. I like the beach
better than the mountains, but sometimes it is better to take a risk and try a different
place to enjoy.



















EFFECTS OF WATCHING TOO MUCH TV

Discoveries and invention of devices are always welcome till we, humans, find a
way to abuse its benefits and be adversely affected by it. This was the case when
Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-ray and within five years, the British Army was using a
mobile x-ray unit to locate bullets and shrapnel in wounded soldiers in the Sudan. TV
was also invented with positive thoughts in mind there would be no national borders,
education and communication would be worldwide, etc. However, we are now trying to
overcome its physiological and psychological adverse effects on human beings.

One of the physiological effects of watching TV in excessive amounts is eye-
strain. It is true that there are specifications for watching TV; TV should be 5 m. away
from the eye, the room should be adequately lit, TV should be placed at the same
height with our eyes, etc. However, these do not prevent our eyes from getting tired if
we keep watching TV for a long time. Another effect is obesity, which is widely observed
in people who like watching TV and eating snacks everyday (there is even a term TV
snacks to refer to fast food that is suitable for eating in front of the TV). TV is such a
powerful machine that people cannot get away from it it is addictive.

Apart from the physiological effects, TV also causes psychological effects. One
is a result of being exposed to violence. After seeing so many violent scenes on TV,
people start considering violent actions normal and they lose their sensitivity to their
environment. Partly connected to this effect, the interpersonal communication among
people decreases. Being insensitive to the suffering of other people causes people to
become alienated. Also, after coming home from work people seek to relax in front of
the TV, and generally people prefer watching TV to talking to each other. This issue is
very important since lack of interpersonal relationships mostly end with divorces.



Shortly, inventions are meant to be beneficial for human beings, if we know how
to benefit from them. TV is one of such inventions that need to be used for the right
purpose only being educated and entertained for a reasonable (according to age)
period of time. We may, then, be safe from or at least reduce the adverse physiological
and psychological effects of watching too much TV.


















TOPIC: ENVIRONMENT

Most people want to help the earth but very few actually go out and do
something. To help the earth we dont have to clean up ten miles of highway or
beaches. We can do those things but I found some easier ways to help out. Malaysians
working together can help to make our environment better, healthier and cleaner.
We can help prevent air pollution by using alternative ways of traveling.
In Malaysia most people use cars and almost every person in the family has their own
car. By having so many cars, we cause air pollution. What should we do about that?.
We could use more public transportation like the train, bus or light rail. All those types of
transportation are great for saving gas, saving time spent in traffic, and it can be a place
to meet interesting people.
Another way, that we can do, to help prevent air pollution is using the carpool
line. We know how bad is the traffic during rush hours and how bad we want to use
carpool, and we do. As an example I would like to tell what Im doing for helping our
environment. First, I call my friends if they want to go shopping. If they agree Im picking
them up, and we are going together.
To put in a nutshell, helping save the environment is very important for us and for
our future generations. If we can start working together our planet can stay cleaner,
more beautiful and safer for our children. We shouldnt be afraid to do something about
that. If other people will see that we care, we really can do something, and they will do
to. Working together can make miracles.
