Enviromental problems

The Earth is a home to millions of different kinds of living creatures, which are linked in many ways. Together, they make up the complex world of nature. But there are different types of eco-probles, that harm them:
  • Greenhouse effect. It works like this; sunlight gives us heat. Some of the heat warms the atmosphere, and some of the heat back into space. Nowadays the air surrounding the earth has become much warmer because the heat can't go back into space. That's why winter and summer temperatures in many places have become higher.
  • World temperatures are currently rising every year. This so called global warming is caused by the buildup of gases and water vapour in the atmosphere. These gases form a layer that reflects the heat back to Earth, rather than allowing it to escape into the outer atmosphere. As the planet warms up, the water in the oceans will take up more space and water locked up in glaciers and the polar ice caps will start to melt. This could cause sea levels to rise and many habitats will disappear under water.  
  • Acid rain fall when poisonous gases from power stations and vehicle exhausts mix with oxygen and moisture in the air. Acid rain poisons or kills wildlife in lakes, rivers, and forests, and damages the surrounding plant life.
There are the main problems. So I must say , that we should do all to save our World.

Work–life balance


  Nowadays, it is very important to define your time for work and for your privat life. It is called "Work-Life Balance. Sociologists say that Work–life balance is the proper prioritizing between "work" (career and ambition) on one hand and "life" (pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development) on the other.
   To be a perfect teacter you should spend hours working  365 days a year. And may be, it will be not anough for you. Young teachers find it difficult to have a balance in their lives becauseof  their hard work. Hometasks, projects, tests...Everything must be correct!
  Steven L. Sauter, chief of the Applied Psychology and Ergonomics Branch of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Cincinnati, Ohio, states that recent studies show that "the workplace has become the single greatest source of stress".Michael Feuerstein, professor of clinical psychology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences at Bethesda Naval Hospital states, "We're seeing a greater increase in work-related neuroskeletal disorders from a combination of stress and ergonomic stressors". So we should keep our health and live right now.
  Personally, I think, that we must decide what is really important for everyone. Everyone wants to be successful in career, but also we should realize that work isn't everything.
  Try to find just 1-2 hours a day for you, your family, your interests and you'll see, ou will be happier! You'll see that the world aroud you is so bright and consist of not only work, but also of time just for your privat life.
                      It is very difficult to find a work-life balance but it is possible!
