The Use Of Trees

Trees are a very important resource for our country. Both people and animals can get many kinds of food and medicine from them. Their wood can be used for many things including cooking, heating, making furniture and building houses and boats.

If we cut down trees, we may destroy our environment, because without trees our environment will not be either comfortable or attractive in either town or country. An important thing to know about trees is that they hold the earth tightly so that the soil on the surface cannot be blown away in windy or washed away by heavy rain. 

This is important, because when the surface soil is blown or washed away from an area, plants cannot grow there and that place becomes a desert. When it becomes empty and dead, people will avoid it and everyone living there will suffer and have to move away.

Of course, sometimes we must cut a tree, but we must plant another in its place. And we must do this regularly. Remember, it is easy to cut down a tree, but it isn't easy to grow one, it takes only an hour or two to cut down a lovely, big tree, but it can take more than one hundred years to grow one. Now we may feel that our country is very beautiful. But for how long? We must look after our trees carefully if we don't want our country to become a desert.

Science And Its Effects

One of the most striking features of the present century is the progress of science and its effects on almost every aspect of social life. Building on the foundations laid by the predecessors the scientists of today are carrying their investigation into ever-widening fields of knowledge.

Modern civilization depends largely on the scientist and inventor. We depend on the doctor who seeks the cause and cure of disease, the chemist who analyses our food and purifies our water.The entomologist who wages war on the insect pests, the engineer who conquers time and space, and a host of other specialists who aid in the development of agriculture and industry.

The advance of science and technology has brought the different parts of the world into closer touch with one another than ever before. We are able to reach distant lands within a very short time. We are also able to communicate with people far away by means of the telephone and the wireless.

The invention of the printing machine has made it possible for us to learn from books and newspapers about people in other lands. Indeed, man's curiosity and resourcefulness have been responsible for the steady stream of inventions that have created our civilization.

At the same time, however, there have been harmful effects. Our machine civilization is responsible for numerous accidents and industrial rivalries among nations. Everyday hundreds of people are dying from serious wounds and injuries. Further, the rapid tempo of modern lite results in wide spread nervous disorder.

Moreover, science, which has helped man to secure control over nature, has also made it possible for him to develop more deadly weapons of war. More and more countries are competing with one another in the production of war material. But in these instances the fault lies not with science, but rather with man's intention to misuse the discoveries of science. Science is admittedly the dominating intellectual force of the modern age.

Growth In Number Of Cambodia Students To Attend Private Universities

Since 2000, there have been more and more private educational institutions being developing in Cambodia. Alongside with this, the government of Cambodia supports the development of private universities in order to build higher education in Cambodia with public universities. Needless to say, the number of students who enroll in private universities is increasing rapidly from year to year. This is because of several reasons.

First of all, every university has strong desire to gain more students. To achieve this, each university is trying to compete with one another by using different strategies. For instance, they improve the environment of the classroom as we as the campus. More classrooms are equipped with air-conditioners, computers, and overhead projectors, which enable teaching and learning process to go smoothly. The campus is wide and spacious for parking.

Moreover, the internet is free for the students to do research at any time they want. What is more, some private universities have built their own libraries, which are equipped with up-to-date facilities, For example, air-conditioners, computers with the internet, comfortable furniture, and in which a variety of books are displayed. They not revise the curriculum according t0 the real needs in our country.

This can really satisfy the needs of the students, and it can also guarantee that after graduating, students will be able to get a job. In addition to this, some university reduces the school fees so that the people with average living standard can afford to study. They also offer scholarship for the best students.

Finally, with a sharp rise in number of students graduating from high schools, a graduate increase of family finance, and general belief that private universities are better than public ones, parents usually chooses a suitable private university, which they believe can​ highly educate their children, for their offspring.

In brief, with the real effort of the private universities, and a rapid rise in population and living standard of Cambodia, private universities receive a great number of students every year.
