Life has become more comfortable because of modern communications and technology.

People of the

world have to thank the internet for the changes it has made in their daily lives.

One of the main uses of the internet is as a communication tool which can reach many parts of the

world; it helps to keep families in touch and to create business opportunities, no matter where you are.

In the past, companies would send letters by post which could take days or even months to arrive.

Nowadays, email delivers their messages instantly.

In addition, the internet plays a vital part in the field of education.

This is particularly relevant for students who would like to access a lot of useful research and

information. Online courses also become a gateway for those who want to learn even if they cannot go

in person to attend their chosen courses.

Although the internet has many benefits, it has some negative aspects as well.

Some students spend too much time surfing the internet and they get distracted by social media rather

than focusing on their studies, as a result they get lower grades.

Ask an Englishman what is the hardest thing to learn and he will probably tell you that learning a

foreign language is top of the list. This is because England is a country where most of the population

speak only one language. This means that they don’t get many chances to hear people speaking other

languages. On the other hand, in many parts of the world it is not unusual for people to speak several

languages. Take my old Pakistani friend Ghulam Ali as an example. His mother tongue is Hindko but

because he grew up in Peshawar he also speaks Pashtu. His parents taught him Urdu and he went
to a private school where he learnt English. He studied Arabic at the mosque when he was a child.

As well as these languages, he has taught himself Persian because he loves the poetry. It is said that

you need a special talent to learn languages, but I think that is wrong. You need strong willpower and

as many chances to use it as possible. Most important of all, you have to be prepared to make lots of

mistakes and be laughed at.

As many of us know, one of the most effective ways to keep our hearts healthy is to stay physically

active. While many of us think that we need to engage in more intense exercise to keep ourselves

fit, this is not true. Health experts have said that if we walk for half an hour every morning especially

a brisk walk, we can improve our chances of having a strong and healthy heart by as much as forty

percent. Additional benefits of regular exercise include keeping other vital organs healthy, improving

blood circulation, maintaining your weight and preventing many diseases.

Walking could be turned into a family activity as it allows family members to spend quality time together

in a positive way. This encourages your children to adopt good habits from an early age, as well as

carrying out walking as a form of keeping fit and build their self-confidence.

However, there are other factors that are important, such as eating a balanced diet and reducing stress

but regular exercise is a good starting point for a healthier life style.
Many of us living in cities have very little contact with wildlife. We may have a pet like a cat or a dog

or even a parrot. However, we really don’t see many wild creatures unless they are unwanted ones

such as mosquitoes, flies or other insects. Even if there is a local zoo, the environment in which these

animals are kept is very often artificial and different to their natural homes.

Recently mental health experts have been looking into the importance of keeping contact with the

natural world. They have found out that just watching programmes related to nature on television is

beneficial for both young and old. According to researchers, participants aged between 16 and 24

showed the biggest decrease in tiredness and anxiety. Watching animals for just half an hour can

change people’s attitude to life and make them smile.

When interviewed, the maker of the most popular nature programmes on television said: ‘It is very

encouraging to see how bringing audiences closer to animals and plants can generate such positive

emotions as well as educating them’.
