These days many of us prefer to throw damaged things away, whereas in the past people used to repair damaged items and keep them for a long time.� Explain why you think this change has happened.� What are the effects of this change in attitude?

It is true that people tend to discard their old or damaged possessions these days, rather than repairing them. There are various reasons why we behave in

this

way, and it seems to me that the effects are largely negative. There are three main reasons for

this

trend.

Firstly

, advances in technology enable companies to produce

large number

Suggestion

a large number

large numbers

of goods faster than ever, and costumers can buy items with

low

Suggestion

lower

prices than before. Samsung company,

for example

, produces thousands of television every day and all individuals can buy

this

commodity with reasonable prices if their old one is not working any more.

Secondly

, advertisements promote consumerism culture and encourage us

to buying

Suggestion

to buy

the latest new objects rather than repairing the old possessions.

Finally

, people are too busy with their jobs and making a living, and they do not have enough time to

mending

Suggestion

mend

their old or broken things. The most important consequence of

this

attitude is that raw materials

such

as trees, metals and fossil fuels are running out in order to produce new objects.

Furthermore

, we produce more waste than ever with throwing away damaged items and even plastic garbage doesn't break down easily and add to litter problem.

Finally

, increasing number of companies, which are producing large quantities of goods, release huge amount of gasses

such

as carbon monoxide that cause global temperature to rise. In conclusion, several factors have caused

this

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

, and

this

trend has negative impacts on our lives.
