Writing task 1

The process of making carbonated drinks consists of 5 stages.

The first stage is called "water cleaning", which is located in a big warehouse where raw water is being filtered and processed through a water softener. From there it enters a tube full of chemicals towards a pump. The second stage is called "heating evaporation and carbonation", which proceeds the water in the pump into electric heaters. From there, the water go through a cooling pipe which fall into a big tank filled with carbon dioxide. There comes the third stage, where the water go through a long pipe into a mixing tank. In the mixing tank there are three diffrent varients of addings to the water: clouring, syrup and flvour. After being mixed with all three, the water go into a filter.

Writing task 2

The modern world has many great things to offer. It has made our lives much easier to handle when we think about the cave man and how he struggled to maintain his wormth and constantly battle with other species for food and shelter. Those problems are furtunetley behind us; nowadays, computers dominate our world, and as such, it was only time before screens and keyboards entered our children's classrooms as well.

Computers may benifit not only students but teachers as well. It is perhaps easier to plan a class using a computer program whilst typing in the course's material. Let us think of a math class for instance; to demonstrate to students how a mathematical equation works, a dynamic graph can be a great tool of illustaration. Think about your math class when you were a child - of course theory is necessary and of great importance, but practicality also plays a key role in student's understanding of a math exercise or a bigger phenomenon like black holes. Either way, using a computer can help us with that.

On the other hand, depending on a metal box for knowledge might be quite dangerous. Computers, just like anything else in our world, can be unreliable and suddenly crash. This unfortunate experience of distruptive wifi, or bad connection is no stranger to us computer users and can cause a lot of distress that children might not be able to cope with. For adults who passed the age of 30 still remember an entire life without computers, relaying on books and other forms of storaging information on paper, but the younger generation is growing to be dependent only on computers. Other risks that might impose studemts whilst using computers are related to health issues. Staring at a screen for more than 4 hours a day, for a child, can be damaging.

Although the dependence on computers is not ideal, any other option is just dated. Like adults, children should be inroduced to computers also in their classrooms and try to develope healthy habits of computer usage.
