Andras Forgacs, the speaker, suggested a plan of making leather andmeat without killing animals.

I think Andras showed us a revolutionary and marvelous idea. I agreehim for the most part. I have three reasons for this.

First, it is a method that doesn’t provoke ethical problems. Thereare a lot of people who don’t eat meat, particular meat or all types of meat, for religious and cultural reasons. Meat is a delicious food so Andras’s idea probably brings them happiess.

Second, it is an environmentally friendly method. The world’spopulation is growing so we need to maintain more and more animals. It creates a breeding ground for disease and opportunities for harm and abuse. At once diseases go around human, it may kill millions of people. The other problem which the enormous amount of animals provoke is the global warming. The global warming is a big problem that even embroils each country’s governments. We mustn’t increase the number of animals which are the big producers of greenhouse gases. Another problem is the animals use land, food, fresh water. Lack of such sources especially causes people in developing countries pain. Maintaining enormous amount of animals causes many problems so we need an alternative plan. And in fact, Andras’s plan is effective.

Finally, leather which can be made by his idea have desirablequalities. If we can make leather as we like, that’s a wonderful thing. And to begin with prevailing leather is effective to prevail the technology of making meat among the world.

ButI have a point to refer to the idea. We don’t need to be so much sensitive to kill animals. In our long history, we killed lots of animals and ate or wore them. And we kill not only cows or pigs but also fish. Isn’t it a bad thing? To live, killing animals is not a wrong way. (309 words)

The article we read was about lynching a teenage boy in Bangladesh.
A boy was trying to steal a bicycle rickshaw van to help his family selling vegetables. The boy was detected by three men. He was tied to a pole and hit repeatedly with a metal rod by the three men. The boy was killed. His body was took away but the men were soon arrested. More than 60 injury marks were found on his body. One of the attackers had filmed the assault laughing and jeering on his mobile phone. Thousands of people in Bangladesh demanded justice for the boy. In Bangladesh, mobs often attack suspect thief. But this outrage which was caused by the brutality of the assault was widespread and led to police forming a special squad.
It is an extremely brutal case. First, the victim was a teenage boy. Second, he had a serious reason that to help his family selling vegetables for trying to stealing the bicycle rickshaw van. Third, the way to kill the boy was terrible. The men hit the boy many times and there were a lot of injury marks on his body. Finally, the men were enjoying hitting and killing the boy and what is worse, one of them filmed the assault on his mobile phone.
Now we can easily take photos or movies and easily post them on Facebook or Twitter. To reduce troubles and criminals, we should be restricted posting pictures or movies or statements. The contemporary troubles are diverse so we have to find and contemplate solutions concretely.
