The definition of the second and foeign language

There are many languages in the world.Due to the developing international culture, languages are not only a communication tool but also a culture interchange in many situations.Now, people who can speak second or foreign language have more competitive advantages in their workplace or office.A second language is any language learned after the first language or mother tongue in certain place that the language are spoken by people.For example, when foreigners learn Mandarin as their target language (your learning language) in Taiwan, Mandarin is the second language to the foreigners. On the other hand, a foreign language is any language not spoken by the indigenous people of a certain place.For example, any language beside Mandarin is a foreign language in Taiwan.Such as English, Janapese and Franch.English is the most useful foreign language in Taiwan.

The effects of industrial development

Tainan Science Industry Park has been established at our nearby township for several years.There was a vast field before the industrial development.But now, there are many constructions and companies in this park.This has had some changes, and it affects our life closely and quietly.

Firstly, since the companies and companies were built a few years ago, a great amount of exhaust steam and water has been produced, and the waste matters produce the acid rain.As a result, the land, water and crops are polluted in this condition. Because of the pollution, people who live in the nearby area become ill more easily ill than other people.For example, when people eat the polluted food or
breathe in the exhaust steam in a long time, they may have cancers or lung disease.The pollution has caused a big environmental problem and it affects people's health seriously.

Secondly, the work opportunities has increased, too. So, many people seek a job or work in the park, and some of them immigrated from other places.Consenquently, they bring more business affairs at the surrounding of the park.For instance, the houses are built for new immigrants, the numerous breakfast shops are opened for the working people.They make the quiet and beautiful countryside become noisy and bustled.Because of this, they break the original feature of the country.

Furtherfore, the traffic problem is also another effect of the development.The influx of cars and vehicles cause more accidents .Some accidents happened because the drivers don't obey the traffic rule, therefore, many car crashs happened on the crossroad because the drivers run the red light.For this reason, some pedestrians won't go out during the peak period.

The development brings some advantages and disadvantages.If these companies can keep the environment in a good condition, such as landspace engineering and green belt.Or they can control the exhaust steam and water, tackle the waste matters carefully.Drivers can obey the traffic rule and caution the pedestrians.Follow these ways, there will be still good to the industrial development.

Baseball players get injury easilier than softball players

Softball is almost the same as baseball.There are some similarities of them, but baseball players get injury easilier than softball players.In order to start a game, softball is exactly the same as baseball, they both need a pitcher, a hitter and defensive players.The pitcher pitches the ball to let hitter hits the ball in a ineffective way.But baseball pitchers have to use their body's power to pitch a speedy ball in each pitching .If their pitching actions were incorrect, they might hurt their arms, elbows and shoulders, such as pulled muscle, broken ligament.Alougth softball pitchers also need to pitch, they only throw the ball high and slow to make hitter's ineffective hitting.Softball is not so powerful as baseball.

Hitters are hit by the pitcher make some serious injuries, too. It's a common event in baseball games .Due to the speedy ball, a hitter's reaction time only has 0.4 to 0.5 second. In such a temporary monent, the hitter needs to decide to swing or not, and it includes to evade the uncontrolled ball from the pitcher, too.In American baseball history, there was a famous hitter's death involved in hitting by a pitcher because the uncontrolled ball hit his head.Compare to this, softball is more slower, and hitters are safer than baseball hitters.

Baseball park is wider than softball park.Basball players also defense in a wider field than softball players.When the hitter hits a hit, defensive players run to catch the ball and throw it back infield.In a wider field, the players need to run faster and throw the ball back rapider, so they might sprain their knees and malleolus, pull their legs and arms.Especially in cold days, if the players don't warm up with enough time, they might get injury more easilier.

Baseball games are more impactive than softball games.In baseball games, runners can make some legal crashes to defensive players in some situations, but runners in softball games, they can't touch the defensive player's body while he is tackling the ball.Some baseball players have injured themself in this kind of crash.

Compare these two similar sports, baseball is more excited and powerful than softball. On the other hand, many young baseball players get injury and they end their baseball careers because their serious injuries.If you want to play baseball, you should receive a tranditional training with a qualified coach.The coach will implant the correct concept to you, especially some protections of injuries.If you have not received the training yet, softbll would be another good choice.
