It depends on what type of plastics we're dealing with.

Let's take plastic bags for instance:

The advantages of plastics: It is durable, low cost, water resistant, lesser energy and heavy chemicals requirements in manufacture and are light weight. Many studies comparing plastic versus paper for shopping bags show that plastic bags have less net environmental effect than paper bags, requiring less energy to produce, transport and recycle; however these studies also note that recycling rates for plastic are significantly lower than for paper.Plastic carrier bags can be reused as trash bags or bin bags. Also, plastic bags are complimentary in many locations but are charged or "taxed" in others.

The disadvantages of plastics: Plastics bags are make of a non-renewable resource, which gives us more reasons to use recyclable shopping bags. Plastic bags are also flimsy and do not sit as well as either paper or cloth. They are a hazard to wildlife animals, if they are not disposed properly. Lastly, plastic bags clogs roadside drains, which could cause the flooding of the street at heavy rainfalls.

I guess this also depends on what the "Advanced Reading Skills" lessons talks about, but don't think of it as "really hard"! Work on one word, one phrase, one sentence, and you'll start making progress. =) 

In general, when translating, the first thing you'll have to do is to understand the paragraph, but you're right, this isn't that easy a paragraph to translate. You could use an English dictionary, or a bilingual dictionary (http://www.nciku.com<span>is good for English-Chinese) to help you. While you're doing this, try to pick out important words and translate them first, and see if you could understand what each sentence means. </span>

<span>Sometimes, words may have multiple meanings or be used as metaphors - for example, "amputated" means "having been cut off", but in your 2nd sentence, it means that the poet should not be condemned and criticised to the point where he is treated as having no value. </span>

<span>Finally, after you've translated the text, don't forget to read it to check if it makes sense in the language you're using - and if it makes for smooth reading!</span>

Answer:

First you need to know what side your on or your claim. In this case the easiest side would be that <u>a vegetarian diet leads to weight loss. </u>

So in organizing your essay you first state your claim then you need at least 5 pieces of evidence for your whole essay to be efficient.

After you state your evidence you would then explain on how that evidence supports your claim.

So those are the basics for writing an argumentative essay. Good Luck!

King says we have to realize that it is always the time “to do right”! He made the point that in order for everyone in the U.S to have human dignity, the “quicksand”-like national policy of his time must be changed to “solid rock”. By engaging in “nonviolent direct action”, they bring hidden things out into the open. Without the problems clearly being seen, society would remain otherwise. It leads to healing.



that’s 6 sentences so take out the 1st sentence if you want to make it 5 :)
