Expressing Opinion (by Stina)

Farmers shouldn’t use the chemical ractopamine on pork for three reasons.
First, using ractopamine is harmful to use. According to the Taipei Times, 100 peaple developed symptoms like raising heartbeat, dizziness and vomiting bodies after eating pork with ractopamine. In my opinion, ractopamine will accumulate in our bodies and even lead us to death.
Second, ractopamine is not banned in only 24 countries, but these countries can bring huge influences to the rest of the world. More than 160 countries will lose their competitions, including Taiwan. I think that most people will buy pork with ractopamine because it is cheap. It would be unfair for Taiwan’s pig farmers if U.S pork with ractopamine were allowed to be imported to Taiwan.
Third, because ractopamine really harm our bodies, we won’t buy any pork and won’t eat out in restaurants. It might influence Taiwan’s economy. I believe that if we ban the ractopamines from those greedy medical companies, we can protect our economy and our health.
In conclusion, because of the three reasons discussed above, farmers shouldn’t use the chemical ractopamine on pork.

Star turtle is a good choice to have as a pet for three reasons. First of all, they walk quietly. It is good for tou to sleep, and you may get along well with your neighbors. Also, they are extrovert. They don’t bite people and are not afraid of strangers. Second, they are dependable animals. Sometimes, they like to sleep with you.

But there is a little disadvantage; you have to buy a glass turtle tank, some sand, and a warning stone, which will cost you much money. Third, the star turtle is a vegetarian. You just feed it with vegetables without water; too much water will kill it. It is because that it is a kind of land turtle.
