A sample The table describes the literacy rate in different regions of the Sunshine country from 1998 to 2007. In general, except for Highlands, where the rates are slightly decreased between these years, Lowlands and Midlands both witnessed a rise. In Lowlands, for example, the rates were 50%, 53% and 56% in 1998, 2002 and 2004. In 2007, the rate sharply rose to 95%, which was a remarkable progress. As can be seen, Midlands saw a less dramatic change, however. The rate went up gradually from 70% and 75% in 1998 and 2002 to 80% and 85% in 2004 and 2007. Unlike these two regions, Highlands witnessed a gradual decrease in the rate of its population. In 1997 the rate was 50%; however, it decreased by 5% in 2002 and continued to go down in the following years, reaching only 30% in 2007. Obviously, this region needs to improve its literacy rate.

What are some other reasons that people work? Discuss one or more of these reasons. Use specific examples and details to support your answer. Although people work to earn money, money is not the main reason people stay in their jobs. They also work because they like to be with other people, they want to contribute something to society. Many people enjoy going to work because they like being with other people. They like to interact with their coworkers and clients. They like to help people solve problems or get a product, and they like to make friends. People also enjoy their jobs because it gives them a chance to contribute to society. Teachers educate our future generations. Doctors and nurses heal people. Manufacturers produce things that people need to use. Through work, each individual is able to do his or her part in this world. Money is nice, but it is not the only reason people get up and go to work each day. I believe that people work because it gives them the opportunity to be with other people, and to contribute to society. People do many different things to stay healthy. What do you do for good health? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Our health is the only thing we really have in the world. You can take away our money, our house, or our clothes, and we can survive. Take away our health and we will die. That is why I exercise regularly, and keep up my social life. Eating healthfully is important to maintain health. I try to avoid foods high in fat such as french fries or cookies. I also rarely eat meat. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables because they are full of vitamins. I try to cook foods properly so that they don't lose their nutrients. Exercise is important to maintain health. I either walk or ride my bike everyday. A few days a week I work out at the gym, and on weekends I usually play tennis with my friends. I enjoy exercise so it is fun and easy for me to do it. It helps keep me strong and it is good for my health, too. Friends are another important part of one's health. Friends help keep you happy and help you deal with stress. Studies have shown that emotional health is related to physical health. Spending time with my friends helps keep me emotionally healthy. By exercising regularly, and spending time with my friends, I can keep both my mind and body healthy. Fortunately, I like to do both these things so I am a very healthy person.
