graph

This line graph shows the US number of farms and farm workers in the period 1910-2000.

It shows in this graph that the number of the workers is always higher than the number of farms. But in the last few years the number of farms and workers was closer. In 1910 the workers number was over 12 million and the number of farms was over 6 million. After 35 years the number of farms and workers decreased. In 1950 the number of workers was 10 million and the farms were under 6 million. After 40 years, in 1990, the number became very low at just over 2 million. The workers became 3 million and the farms became close to 2 million and it stayed the same to the year 2000.

In summary, I can see from this graph that the numbers of farms and workers declined in the twentieth century.

Mobile phones

Mobile phones are a very useful invention. They can make life much easier than before. These days people use mobile phones to send messages and they are very useful. Nowadays students use mobile phones in college but they should put them on silent. In this essay I will show you the advantages and the disadvantages.

The first point is that students should pay attention to the teacher and not play and message with the mobile phone. Another thing is making noise in the class room, ringing all the time and distracting every body. And also their GPA will suffer and they will get low grades.

On the other hand, mobile phones can be useful in class to send for the teacher why you're absent for the class. Also students can use the mobile phone in class only for an emergency. And the last thing is to message the classmate if they have an exam, to remind them.

In summary, mobile phones can be useful but students can't use them in the class. I think the mobile phone is not that useful in class.
