Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When using to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but at the end they are still just labels. Few films are exclusive formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinct is often forgotten. Realism is a particular style, where physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material - what they shape and manipulate it - determines their stylistic emphasis. Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life himself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious. Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their crude materials so that only the very naive should mistake a manipulated image of an object or event to the real thing. 2. Although air-conditioning has led to economical improvement and has increased daily comfort with people everywhere, its impact on the environment has not been so positively. First, air-conditioning units release polluting chemicals onto the air, that contribute to global warming. Furthermore, running air- conditioning on a large scale requires enomous amount of energy. The burning of coal and oil to produce this energy also contributes to air pollution and thus, to global warming. According to experts, global warming could result from dramatic changes in climate, rising ocean levels, and more violence storms in the years to come. In some countries, governments and industry are beginning to search for ways to reduce the harm caused by air-conditioning. In Japan, summer temperatures have been risen in office buildings to conserve energy. In the United States, government, industry, and private groups are searching for ways to reduce the amount of dangerous chemicals released by air conditioners, especially those in cars and trucks. Stay cool is important, and many cannot imagine life without air-conditioning. But in the future, we will have to finding

Years ago, before any of you were born, a wise Frenchman said, “If youth knew; if age could.” We all know what he meant: that when you are young, you have the power to do anything, but you don’t know what to do. Then, when you have got old and experience and observation have taught you answers, you are tired, frightened; you don’t care, you want to be left alone as far as you yourself are safe; you no longer have the capacity or the will to grieve over any wrongs but your own. So you young men and women in this room tonight, and in thousands of other rooms like this one about the earth today, have the power to change the world, rid it forever with war and injustice and suffering, provided you know how, know what to do. And so according to the old Frenchman, since you can’t know what to do because you are young, then anyone stands here with a head full of white hair, should be capable to tell you. But maybe this one is not as old and wise as his white hairs pretend or claim. Because he can’t give you a glib answer or pattern too. But he can tell you this, because he believes this. Which threatens us today is fear. Not the atom bomb, nor even the fear of it, because if the bomb fell on Oxford tonight, all it could do would be to kill us, that is nothing, since in doing this, it will have robbed itself of its only power over us: which is fear of it, the being afraid of it. Our danger is not that. Our danger is the forces in the world today which are trying to use man’s fear to rob him of his individual, his soul, trying to reduce him to an unthinking mass by fear and bribery— giving him free food which he has not earned, easy and valueless money which he has not worked for; the economies or ideologies or political systems, socialist or democratic, whatever they wish to call them, the tyrants and the politicians, American or European or Asiatic, who would reduce man to one obedient mass for their own aggrandizement and power, or because they themselves are baffled and afraid, afraid of, or incapable of, believing in man’s capacity for courage and enduring and sacrifice. 4. The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak. In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at level adequate for communication, or at a level that enables one to successfully comprehend and communicate in printing society. The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the

On another hand, the majority of people are adversely affected when confront with a serious dilemma. Abnormal levels of stress can be a serious healthy hazard and may prove detrimental to one’s physical health. Stress is said to be the culprit in a high percent of heart problems and stomach disorders. Even certain types of cancer are, reportedly, linked to stress. Knowing that stress is a modern-day malady which we all, in a greater or lesser extent, suffer from, has prompted many people to begin looking seriously at ways of controlling stress. Due to the inevitable factor that stress will always play a part in our lives, it is of paramount important that strategies of stress management be found. 7. Britain has a general mild temperate climate. The weather, however, tends to be changed (though not necessarily unpredictable) as a result of the constant influence of different air mass. The prevailing winds are south-westerly, which bring warm air in from across the Atlantic. There are a few extremes in temperature, which rarely goes above 320C or below -100C. In summer, southern Britain is warmer than northern Britain because of its latitude, but in winter the North Atlantic Drift – a warm sea current - keeps the west mild than the east. Consequently, Wales and the south-west Peninsula has the most moderate climate and eastern England the most extremely. These differences, are not great however, and local variations arise from factors such as altitude and pollution are often greater. Annual rainfall is fairly evenly distribute, but ranges from more than 1,600 mm in the mountainous areas of the west and north far less than 800 mm over central and eastern parts. This is because depression from the Atlantic bring frontal rainfall first to the west and because western Britain is higher and so gets more relief rain. 8. LEARNING HOW TO LEARN AND THINK What is the point of the education system? Although this question may seemridiculous at first look, it actually not stupid as it sounds. The reason it is good trying to answer is that schools and university clearly emphasis academic achievement, passing exams and gaining qualifications much more than acquiring skills such as rising children or car maintenance. But why is it? Why do they neglect to teach practice skills at school? One answer may be that schools don't exit to help us gain useful knowledge about the world. At school, what we are learning is how to learn effective. The idea is that we can then take use of that ability later on in life when we come to deal with more practical aspects of day-to-day living.
