EDUCATION IS NECESSARY AND OBLIGATORY

Life in the modern world demands preparation. Today, all individuals in every country are required to have adequate education. They  must prepare themselves for their work. The must have professional abilities to do their job. They must have responsibilities as citizens as well as firm loyalities to their own countries.

That’s why national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young and so are those in our country. Government officials, parents and teacher are now working hard to provide our children with the best preparation. They making a great effort to improve the quality of our human resources through the program of compulsory education.

We are fully aware that our children will determine the development of our country in the future. It is therefore necessary and obligatory for all parents to send their children to school until at least the age of sixteen, and it will, of course, be much better if our children can go to another form of higher education.

Our children must also have equal opportunity to receive education. The children of the rich, the workers of the farmer can go to university and obtain a degree. They must grow up and become skilled and educated people. Again, we all realize that the strength of our nation rets with the number of the educated people we produce.

Example Article of Passive Voice

For most modern airports, the major design problem is scale how to allow adequate space on the ground for maneuvering wide body jets while permitting convenient and apid movement of passengers departing, arriving, or transferring from one flight to another.

Most designs for airport terminals take one of four approaches. In the linear plan, the building may be straight o curved. The passengers board aircraft parked next to the terminal. This plan works well for small airports that need to provide boarding areas for only a few aircraft at a time.

In the pier plan, narrow corridors or piers extend from a central building. This plan allows many aircraft o park next to the building. However, it creates long walking distance for passengers.

In the satellite plan, passengers board aircraft small terminals that are separated from the main terminals. Passengers reach the satellite by way of shuttle trains or underground passengers ways that have shuttle trains or moving sidewalks.

The transporter plan employs some system of transport to move passengers from the terminal building to the aircraft. If buses are used, the passengers must climb a flight of stairs to board the aircraft. If mobile lounges are used, they can link up directly with the aircraft and protect passengers from the weather.
