Answer:
Fracking is and how it works, and looking at this will also allow us to be able to assess the most pressing environmental concerns and the controversies surrounding fracking.
fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. The process can be carried out vertically or, more commonly, by drilling horizontally to the rock layer and can create new pathways to release gas or can be used to extend existing channels. The term fracking refers to how the rock is fractured apart by the high-pressure mixture.[1] In the UK, drilling is only at an exploratory phase, however, there are plans for this to intensify as shale gas reserves have been identified across the UK.
Impacts and Concerns
Having looked at what Fracking is, we will identify it’s impacts on the environment and its most pressing concerns.
The extraction of shale gas is a topic that is highly controversial in the United Kingdom, this is mainly because of the environmental concerns it raises. One of the major concerns is the water usage in the extraction, the volume of water that is needed. Vast amounts of water are required for the process and this must be transported to the fracking sites[2]. The water tends to be transported to the sites, which has its own environmental impacts, though some sites could use the local water resources and the volume of water that is required could place a strain on local water resources. In addition to the amounts of water, the water is mixed with chemicals, this mixture could escape and could spill or contaminate groundwater in the surrounding areas.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Fracking
The main advantages of fracking include, an increase in the production of natural gas, some could argue that this would ease the burden on finite resources such as fossil fuels, fracking would thus diversify our energy supplies. A further advantage is that this is a relatively clean energy source, providing environmental benefit. The gas produced emits less carbon per calorie of energy produced than other fossil fuels. It is easy to inject and it can be transported directly, shale gas requires very little infrastructure investment before it can be injected into the national gas grid, thus proving to be an economical benefit. Fracking is also the most natural way to pump gas from the ground. An abundant supply of natural gas makes prices relatively cheap to producers and consumers.
The disadvantages of fracking include, Risk of groundwater pollution, Risk of localised earthquakes (probably not a huge risk when well-regulated in the UK), Localised noise and traffic congestion, Loss of amenities, when fracking wells are sited in areas of natural beauty and national parks, A high water demand for the “process water” needed by the fracking technology used, potentially entailing additional stress on water supplies, Planning blight on local properties, and suffering by those unfortunate enough to live near a proposed site for a fracking well.

No all sources cited in an assignment need to have an author and a date. Depending on the rigor of the assignment, topics covered, and the degree to which we use the source, it is fine to use a source or two that do not have a stated date and/or an author. For example, APA has specific guidelines for citing sources that lack such details.

Consider both “The Lottery” and “Harrison Bergeron”. Why does the town have a lottery in “The Lottery”? Why are there handicaps in “Harrison Bergeron”? Why do people go along with these bizarre practices in the two texts? What do people value in each society and why? Use RACE in your response!
Answer:
‘The Lottery’ and ‘Harrison Bergeron’, two short stories depicting dystopian ways of life were written in the mid-twentieth century just after the second world war and in the midst of the fight for equality in western civilization. These stories display commonalities and differences in areas such as their authoritarian atmosphere, perceptions of equality, and based on their general arch and themes. To begin, the two stories parallel in the government ruling and corresponding atmosphere. Both stories have an authoritarian government in place with a strong set of rules regulated by methods of control and propaganda. Within ‘The Lottery’ for example, the governing body established an annual randomized public execution under the guise of it being a sacrifice for the crops.

You have offered admission to a senior high school to pursue a programme which you do not like. Write to the head teacher of the school stating at least two reasons why you want the programme changed
Answer:
Dear sir or madam,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the admission to this prestigious school. The reason for this letter is that I do not find the program suitable for me.
The program the school offered me is in English and Literature, it is a complete program and suitable for students who want to pursue a career in English, but my interests are in Computer and Science. A program in English would not help me to grow in this field.
Another reason why I do not find the program suitable is that it is centered in American literature and does not include English literature or other languages, which can be beneficial to have different points of view and develop better critical thinking skills.
Due to the mentioned reasons, I would like for my program to be changed to one that fits my interests and challenges me to develop my skills. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Susan Johnson.
Explanation:
When we write to the headteacher or a teacher in the school, we should use formal language.
First, we have to address the person by writing dear and their name. As we do not know the name, we use sir or madam or headmaster. Then, we make an introduction where we talk about why we are writing. In the following paragraphs, we describe in detail why we want the headteacher to change our program. Lastly, we politely ask for the program to be changed and say our goodbyes.
