In many countries it is now illegal to smoke in public places. It is only fair that people who wish to smoke should have to leave the building. Do you agree or disagree?

Both reading and lecture discuss the pros and cons of exploiting the

ocean

floor. The

author

of the reading states that there is a negative

impact

on exploiting the

ocean

floor.

However

, the

lecturer

believes that it is good for the future.

First

of all, the

author

states that we have to devastate many territories of the

ocean

in order to search for mineral resources. He thinks that it can

impact

the

sea

life in the

ocean

. As the

lecturer

presented, his thoughts are opposed to the

author

. He says that we don’t have to go to a lot of territory for the minerals. He expresses that we have just to take samples of the minerals and it can only

impact

a small amount on the

sea

life.

Secondly

, the

author

mentions that the under the

ocean

can be polluted because of the exploration of minerals. He shows that it can affect the

sea

animals which live under 1000 meters of the

sea

level and it is more than 90 per cent of the

ocean

dwellers. But, the

lecturer

explains that we have to go only for a limited distance and that there would not be a great

impact

.

Finally

, the

author

states that it can lead to the destruction of some of the habitats underwater. He believes that it can be impacted negatively on the ecosystem and farmed fish. The

lecturer

assumes that it can not destroy the habitat. 1He accepts that there is no negative effect on the ecosystem and the quality of the fish meat.
