The bar graph demonstrates the recycling trends of four different materials—plastic, cans, paper and glass— every five years from 1992 to 2002. Households were more conscious of recycling all four materials, supported by the higher ratio of households recycling each category at the end of the decade comparing with the beginning data. The most noticeable change was demonstrated by the glass, whose ratio almost doubled every five years, from under 15% in 1992 to 49% in 2002. Tripled percentage of household started recycling paper in 2002 compared with the data in 1992, that were 29% versus 13% respectively. When it comes to cans, it can be found that people were less aware of recycling cans in the first half-decade of the period, and the graph shows a 3% drop in households recycling such material. However, a sheer increase was detected in the next five years; the ratio doubled compared to the first half-decade. Instead of showing a decreasing percentage of household recycling plastic, a 3% increase can be concluded from 1992 to 1997. Intriguingly, there was no change in the data happened in the last half-decade. Overall, glass ended up with the most recycled material in the end, and households awareness of recycling plastic has the largest room for improvement.

The rapid development of technology allows students to get university and college degree by taking online courses. People have different opinions toward distance learning because it brings advantages and disadvantages. I will discuss both negative and positive sides of the online courses.
Primarily, online teaching offers convenient for both students and teachers. If the teacher can take lessons online at home, this can save abundant time that spend on traffic congestion. Thus, professor can spend more time to prepare the lectures and students can have more time to focus on their homework projects. The local students can benefit from online teaching and the international students can take courses much easier than before. Foreign students can just stay in their homeland to get the same level of lessons, which have an economic benefit that saves money from renting.
However, some people claim online courses have also a lot of disadvantages compared with teaching in classroom. Without physically being in the classroom, students can fake the attendance because people can just sign in the online classroom without really listening. Meanwhile, studying online is not a good way to help teachers and students to know each other, which limits the opportunity of students to ask professor or classmates’ questions.
From my perception, the advantages that people can benefit from online course can totally outweigh the cost that students paid. Time is the most valuable things in the world, which is worth to be traded by using the opportunity to ask question. Choosing whether the traditional teaching in campus or studying at home may depend on personal needs and both of them is excellent method for studying.
