9. In about 140 words, write a paragraph to discuss science and its effect on our

lives.

One of the most striking features of the present century is the progress of science and its

effects on almost every aspect of social life. Building on the foundation laid by the

predecessors, the scientists of today are carrying their investigation into ever-widening

fields of knowledge.

Modern civilization depends largely on the scientist and inventor. We depend on the

doctor who seeks the cause and cure of disease, thechemist who analyses our food and

purifies our water, the entomologist who wages war on the insect pests, the engineer who

conquers time and space, and a host of other specialists who aid in the development of

agriculture and industry.

The advance of science and technology has brought the different parts of the world into

closer touch with one another than ever before. We are able to reach distant lands within a

very short time.
