8. Natural resources should be used as economical as possible.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up.
Actually, the world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly
how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and
try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin
Burnharm of the New England Institude of Technology, we have to start
conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the
only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because
it’s very dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear
accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future
generations.
The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as
economical as possible.

twenty- first and February nineteen. The exact date changes from year to
year. Vietnamese people usually make preparations for the holiday several
weeks beforehand. They tidy their houses, cook special food, clean and
make offerings on the family altars. On the New Year’s Eve, people sit up
to midnight to see New Year Eve, then they put on new clothes and give
one another the greetings of the season. Tet lasts ten days. The first three
days are the most important. Vietnamese people believe that how people
act during those days will influence the whole year. As a result, they make
