The diagram illustrates the multitude of steps and equipment involved in cement making, it also showcases how it is used in concrete production for building purposes. Overall, there are several stages and tools which are used in this complex process. First of all, limestone and clay are crushed to get powder. Next, they are mixed before being put in a rotating heater. The mixture passes in a grinder to get thus the cement. This latter is put in bags to be stored and sold. In addition to this process, the figure highlights the method to manufacture another essential commodity in the building industry which is concrete. Indeed, the material is mainly composed by gravel that represents 50% of the total components. Furthermore, Cement represents 15% of the ingredients, plus 10% of water and 25% of sand. The all is mixed thanks to an adapted mixer in order to get the final goods. To conclude, we can notice that cement which is crucial in concrete making, is done through several steps and using numerous tools.

Dear ................. ,
There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:
In some countries, some high school leavers choose to work or travel for a period of time before going to university. Discuss the disadvantages and advantages of these school leavers’ decisions and give your opinion.
Parents throughout the world place spend time reading with their offspring to prepare them for school where their literacy skills are further developed; however, recent research suggests that focusing on reading at an early age can be detrimental, and participating in fun activities would be far more beneficial. I am a strong advocate of this approach, and the benefits of it will be covered in this essay.
A fundamental reason for this is that there is no biological age for reading, and pushing infants to acquire this skill before they are ready could have repercussions. For example, in the UK, many boys are reluctant readers, possibly because of being forced to read, and this turned them off reading. By focusing on other activities and developing other skills such as creativity and imagination, when they are ready to read, they usually acquire this skill rapidly. In addition, the importance of encouraging creativity and developing a child’s imagination must be acknowledged. Through play, youngsters develop social and cognitive skills, for example, they are more likely to learn vocabulary through context rather than learning it from a book.
Furthermore, play allows youngsters to mature emotionally, and gain self-confidence. There is no scientific research which suggests reading at a young age is essential for a child’s development, moreover, evidence suggests the reverse is true. In Finland, early years’ education focuses on playing. Reading is only encouraged if a child shows and interest in developing this skill. This self-directed approach certainly does not result in Finnish school leavers falling behind their foreign counterparts. In fact, Finland was ranked the sixth best in the world in terms of reading.
Despite being a supporter of this non-reading approach, I strongly recommend incorporating bedtime stories into a child’s daily routine. However, reading as a regular daytime activity should be swapped for something which allows the child to develop other skills.
Children of ages 7-11 now spend more time watching television and/or playing video games than before. What are the effects of this on children, family and society?What are the possible solutions to this situation ?
