Good morning Anniehal I have made some suggestion.

Thanks to the development of technology and the improvement of living condition, it is granted (why passive tense?)that modern people live much longer than they used to be(live/do-they use to be sth??). They can experience more changes, witness more significant inventions, and enjoy more qualified life(plural=lives, and from my vantage point qualified is not an appropriate adjective you have used-easy lives=comfortable) compared with(in compare/comparison with) people in the past.
The much more enjoyable and better living condition is also one reason of people's longer life. Due to(as far as I know Thanks to (for good result)/ regarding/with regard to...due to=owing to=(used for bad result)because of(spoken) the air conditioner, human beings do not need to endure the hotness of summer and coldness of winter, which undoubtedly improve people's living environment. Besides, we have more trees and plants around us that provide us with fresher air and happier mood. According to a statistic, happy emotion can help people live longer and healthier.
Food is another undeniable reason of human being's long life. In the past, human did not know how to use the fire or later they did not have the needed high temperature fire, so only raw or half-raw meat is(was)available, which really has(had) an adverse effect on health. People can not digest well at that time, which harms their stomachs and digest systems(what? in the clause you should have referred to sth in the first sentence). This will shorten individual's life unsuspectedly (unsuspectingly)and undoubtedly. (Meanwhile?), fridge contributes a lot to the improvement of health condition(later on). Reserved(keeping)in fridge makes food fresher and prevents existences of bacteria.
Living longer gives human being a great opportunity to experience more of the never-end-changing(Have you seen this compound adjective before? great!) world, which obviously is exciting and enjoyable. It happens due to various reasons, mostly because the external better environment, more advanced technology and better food we can have. (384)
I have checked it myself.Hope there won't be that much grammer(grammar) mistakes(grammatical mistakes).. Thank you for your help! |
Good one. Thanks. Are you gonna take TOEFL test or something? Good luck with your writing. Let me know if you have any suggestions. _________________ Global Marketing |

Why modern people live longer? The answer to this simple question is better hygienic conditions, unprecedented technological advancement which has clearly entered in our lives. For centuries, ever since the legendary Ponce de Leon went searching for the elusive Fountain of Youth, People have been looking for the ways to slow down the aging process. Medical science has made great strides in keeping people alive longer by preventing and curing disease, and helping people to live healthier lives. Average life expectancy keeps increasing and most of us can look forward to the chance to live much longer lives than our ancestors. There are so many technologies that had made our lives easier .Every technology have changed our lives, some of them in manner more aggressive than other. It's hard to point out to a specific technology and makes it responsible for the major changes in a life of person, because every one of us may be influenced by other things. Earlier in 1990's so many people so many people died in this decade is that there was no available treatment of malaria,diarrhea,t.b .The advent of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) has unleashed new opportunities for the delivery of health services. These days education of health workers is provided to enable them to provide better care for their patients. Nurses, who, along with teachers, are some of the most revered professionals, are given the best education and tools to keep abreast of the changes that are occurring in the health field. New technologies continue to change the way things are done. Take for an example, Telemedicine uses telecommunication technologies to provide healthcare services over long distances and can be used to improve healthcare as well as enhance economic development in a developing country. It allows physicians to provide consultations, collect and share uniform laboratory data and medical records to provide health care. Hence , Primarily reason will be of the advances in medical and science technology. Secondly, human have learned throughout the history on how to overcome the natural disaster and social issues. We also have a lot more information these days on how to have a healthier lifestyle. |

I've started studying English since yesteryear. Throughout this year I've dedicated only in this languange. Do you have any particulary reason to study English? I mean, what do you want to do after you complete your studies? _________________ Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

It's just one subject of school... We have that kind of open policy to foreign countries. And English is a must for trade. So all the youngs in cities can speak English,but not good at, I should say...
Where do you come from?Do you have any purpose for studying English? |
