The cost on learning the celestial body and phenomena are too high. It is often considered of great value and the government pay out large sum of money for this study. However, as far as I am concerned, the government needs to focus more into diminishing the level of poverty and natural catastrophe in the world.

Firstly, poverty is the root cause of increased crime rates in countries. It is necessary to eradicate this issue in order to obtain a harmony in the nations. Most of the times, the people become criminal to meet their requirements and end up committing scenes against the law of country. Thus, establishing various policies on poor people by the government needs to be emphasized, and this will be enabling them to meet their daily needs. To illustrate it, in India, the Aganawadi schemes approved by the authority specially to poor people, for delivering essential needs such as rice, pulses, oil and flours are helping them to get their regular requirements.

Secondly, the natural disasters has been causing adversity to the people annually. Owing to this, they suffered from huge loss of properties and their loved ones. So, it is mandatory for the government to take the crucial steps like building proper damp to prevent flood, imposing high taxes on cars to prevent air pollution and conducting meetings to create more awareness on environmental crisis. For example, recent study done by the environmentalist has found that by 2050, if the global warming keeps rising, the iceberg will melt down completely and floods will occur in every parts of the world.

To sum up, the government would be spending more money on reducing the level of poverty and natural disaster, those are the most important aspects affecting the lives of people constantly. Nevertheless, exploring the space is also essential but that should not be prioritized.

Nowadays, people are more interested in high risk recreational activity and mountaineering. This is because, people are becoming more adventure and popular for their adventurous activities. This new trend boost up the level of confidence and physical wellbeing in person.

The new era of people are more explorers and risk takers. They genuinely opt to do things that are more dangerous and risky because of their keen nature on learning new things. Additionally, they love to take chances and challenges, which makes them famous. For example, youtubers often uploads their videos and get millions of followers where they can earn money as well as become celebrity.

However, one cannot deny that any daring activities increase the self esteem and physical endurance. These are attained by doing what is not believe to be achieved and the routine exercises performed by them. Also, being a physically and mentally fit makes the person healthy and wealthy. For example, to climb the mountain one has to be trained for years in order to build their physical fitness.

In conclusion, people often undertake high risk sports such as hang- gliding and mountain climbing to explore new things as well as to become popular. This new phase of sports are enabling the individual to become more healthy.

Last night, my husband asked me to prepare curried mutton for supper. It wasn’t really his favourite but he often had a special wish about food. I laid the table for supper and put a plate for the stable boy on the gas fire in the kitchen to keep it warm. Then, we had supper: my husband and me and the two other grooms. Edith, the maid, ate hastily, because she was to bring Ned’s supper to the stable. I went to bed at around 11. I didn’t sleep well because it was raining heavily and my husband was somehow restless. He said he couldn’t sleep and wanted to check the horses. It always happens at the time of the races. He doesn’t want anything to happen to the Colonel’s horses, especially to Silver Blaze. Then, he put on his clothes and raincoat and left the house. And he took with him a knife that had been lying on the dressing table. I don’t know why he took the knife. He may have feared he might be attacked. I don’t know any close acquaintances that could be suspected. He only mentioned a Mr. Derbyshire, living in London, from time to time. But that must have been a friend of his. I never met him.

A: Are you Edith Baxter?
B: Yes, I am.
A: You are Mrs Straker’s maidservant?
B: Yes.
A: Tell me, what exactly happened last night?
B: By 9 o’clock I left the house with Ned’s supper.
A: Who is Ned?
B: Ned Hunter. He is one of the three stable boys. He was on guard that night. The two other boys had their meal in the house.
A: I see. What food did you bring him?
B: It was a dish of curried mutton. We all had curried mutton for supper that night.
A: It was already dark at 9 o’clock, I presume.
B: Pitch dark, but I had a lantern.
A: And what exactly happened next?
B: I saw a man approaching me. He called me to stop.
A: Can you describe the man?
B: He was young, about 30, I should think, and gentlemanlike. He was dressed in a grey tweed suit. He wore gaiters and carried a heavy stick with a knob to it. He looked nervous.
A: Had you ever seen the man before?
B: No never.
A: And what did he do? Did he say something to you?
B: He asked me if he was near King’s Pyland, and when I said he was, he asked me to give what looked like a piece of paper he took from his waistcoat pocket to the stable boy.
A: And what did you do?
B: I refused, but when I came at the stable window through which I pass the dish to the guard, the man was behind me. I gave Ned the dish and looking behind me I saw the corner of a little paper packet protruding from the man’s left hand.
A: A paper packet? Any idea what I could have contained?
B: No idea.
A: We’ll see to that later. So you didn’t hear what the man said to the boys?
B: No, I didn’t, but when I walked back I saw him leaning through the window.
A: That will be all for now. I will need to see you again.
