Nowadays, owning a car is an important thing. I can drive anytime which I want. Some countries can not use cars because petroleum is very expensive, so they have to get public transports. For example, in Australia some people catch public transports as train, tram or bus because petroleum is too expensive.  In contrast, in  Saudi Arabia, there are not public transports, but they use cars instead of transportation and petroleum is cheaper. you can move from place to other place comfortably. If you have an appointment, you will arrive punctually.

HENRY TOPIC: In my opinion, television commercials for cosmetics lie to women

TV commercials now are gaudier and gaudier to people, many of these are not false. They just want to make money by themselves. They didn’t regard about the feeling of the customers. Like many  TV commercials which market cosmetics. These commercials are always untruthfulness. They want women to buy their products and they exaggerate their poor products. These things don’t has any function, but lot of women was attract by their commercials so lots of women  had been cheated by the company who make these commercials. The worst case was some of the company just want make money and they deceive your telephone rate.

    Move away from home is always a dream from the most of the teenagers. But could it be not a good experience for some of them. When we are younger we have the ’ thirst’ of freedom and we just want to get away from our parents, but when we see the reality of the things and how we do to living alone, we can get frustrated, because you have to do the things by yourself, like cooking and clean your own clothes and you still have to find time to study and sleep well. So by the first time, if the young people don`t get prepared with a mature mentality, moving away from home could it be a stressful experience.

In my opinion, television commercials for cosmetics lie to women because there isn’t women perfect like in the commercials. Usually, we don’t see those clear and perfect skins in the streets. I think they use photoshop in these commercials to illusion women they will be beautiful using these products. Then, they buy more and it`s just benefice the cosmetics business. For this, the television is very important because many people watch television everyday and when the women watch these commercials, they want to be like a woman that appear in the commercial too.
