Another result of people spending too much time at their computers is that their health suffers. Sitting for long periods of time can hurt their eyes, cause headaches or damage their hands and arms. In some cases this means that people cannot do their jobs properly.
Today, more and more people in Kuwait are using computers for activities at home, at school or at work. Such is the demand that the government has launched a ‘digital awareness programme’ to train hundreds of thousands of employees in IT skills. Many people use computers at home too, writing letters, searching the Internet or just playing games. It is a great thing that Kuwait has embraced modern technology so successfully, but in this essay I am going to consider two disadvantages of computers
In my opinion, the main disadvantage is that people may spend so much time on their computers that they see less of their friends and family. Children who spend too long playing computer games may become unsociable and forget how to communicate normally with other people
There is no doubt that computers are here to stay. Some jobs and many leisure activities would be impossible without them, but we should be aware of the possible dangers of spending too much time at our computers

No one was in the bedroom! That’s when we heard Dad shouting outside: ‘Can you help me with this
We hurried outside and saw Dad removing a huge tree branch from his car with the help of our neighbour. Mum was collecting the laundry from the line
When I went into their bedroom, I found Khalid staring out of the window, watching the storm
Khalid and I helped both of them. Eventually, the storm died down and we all went back to sleep, after cleaning up the broken glass
Luckily, he had not been woken up by the noise of the wind and rain
There was no reply, so we opened the door and went in
I had gone to bed just after midnight and I was only half asleep when the wind started blowing
Immediately, I leapt out of bed and rushed to my brothers’ bedroom to check that Khalid and Khalifa were all right
Our younger brother, Khalifa, was still sleeping peacefully
Next, Khalid and I went to check that our parents were okay. We knocked on their bedroom door
Ten minutes later my bedroom window shattered with a terrible crash

Arguments for
Many governments have started to take land from the sea or from marshes in order to create farmland, housing, resorts and even shopping centres. This process is known as land reclamation. Such schemes are popular because they create idyllic settings, such as the Palm Islands in UAE, and are amazing engineering achievements. However, some people believe taking land from the sea is wrong and actually has an adverse effect on the world. In this composition, I will discuss some of the arguments for and against land reclamation
I will start by considering two arguments in favour of land reclamation. First of all, many people view land reclamation as a vital procedure for continuing human development. There are many places in the world where the population exceeds the ability of the land to sustain it. In these places, taking land from the sea alleviates issues such as overcrowding and sanitation and increases human contentment. Secondly, some countries are unable to produce enough food to feed their populations. Therefore, governments take the decision to drain swamp and marshland in an attempt to create new agricultural areas. This process alleviates hunger and has other positive effects, such as helping to reduce populations of disease-spreading insects like mosquitoes
I will now move on to the arguments against land reclamation. The main objection to reclaiming land is that it disrupts local environments. The damage that can occur, for example to coral reefs and other underwater habitats, has profound effects upon the oceans. There are many threatened species that rely on rare habitats, or which only live in one area, and any changes to their surroundings can have devastating consequences. Even land reclamation projects that drain swamps can adversely affect species such as rare migratory birds
Personally, I do not have strong feelings about land reclamation. I believe that such procedures can help to alleviate problems in cities and improve our quality of life, but I also think it is wrong to unnaturally alter and destroy eco-systems simply so people have a pleasant place in which to live, shop or visit
