Cambodian people to preserve and display their history and culture.
Of course, we also see such pictures: some natural environment is destroyed and resources are overused due to redundant construction of tourist facilities and resorts. However, in the long run, as long as the number of tourists are controlled and tourist resources not over-exploited, this negative sides will not be a serious issue.

Teamwork is very important in the modern society and today’s leader is usually the one sitting at a table with six others, sleeves rolled up, trying to solve a problem together.
The Importance of Teamwork
......
I believe that teamwork is more important in the modern society and teamwork spirit has become a required quality by more and more companies. To start with, with the help of the team, the tasks can be completed quickly and efficiently. Situated in an increasingly complicated society, we often encounter tough problems that are beyond our abilities. Today's society is no longer a self-sufficient one,but one in which all the people depend on each other for existence. At work,one can almost accomplish nothing without joint efforts.Every loaf of bread,every article of clothes,every house or apartment,every means of transportation is the product of cooperative efforts.
Besides, teamwork contributes to the prosperity of the companies. Teamwork provides a cooperative, friendly and enjoyable work environment, which is an important factor influencing employees’ belief in the company as a good workplace. With all people’s knowledge combined, the companies possess high work efficiency and an ability to deal with whatever problems. This allows the company to take on more work and generate more revenue without having to add more staff. As a result, the companies can make more profits and develop more quickly.

In recent years, more and more security cameras are installed in public places. Discuss both the benefits and problems resulting from these cameras.
On Security Cameras
......
As far as I am concerned, there are both benefits and problems brought by these cameras....... ......................................................
On one hand, cameras installed in public places contribute to public order. As we all know, the public places are the hotbeds of various crimes, especially of stealing and robbery. With the surveillance cameras, the criminals can be restrained more or less because in case they commit the crimes, the public security organs can obtain on-spot clues from the video data. What’s more, security cameras in public
help establish a good image of the city. With the aid of these cameras, the urban management officers can finally end the cat-and-mouse game with the street vendors who set up stands here and there and help project an orderly new image of the city.
On the other hand, the individual privacy may be invaded if people’s behaviors are monitored. The cameras can be seen everywhere, and even schools have started using spy cams to watch students’ activity and behavior. The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them.But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen.It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy. After all, there are no strict rules in our country as to who takes charge of surveillance cameras and how to deal with the data.
Therefore, it is quite clear that installing security cameras in public has merits as well as demerits. Taking both of them into account, I suggest that strict measures should be taken by the supervision department to ensure that security cameras will not be misused or abused.

Magic has captivated audience for centuries. Recently, there is a heated debate about the disclosure of magic.
Should the Secrets Behind Magic Be Disclosed?
…I insist that the secrets behind the magic should be disclosed.
For one thing, it contributes to developing the interest of the magic lovers in magic. With a fascination with magic, some people, especially the beginners, thirst for the revelation of the magic secrets so that they may obtain some of the know-how and perform some magic on their own. If the magic secrets are disclosed, it can attract more and more people to learn the skills and help them demonstrate it successfully. Consequently, with the practice on the rise, people will show their interest in more magic performances.
For another, the magic secrets disclosure can somewhat push the magicians to create more magic tricks. As one of the traditional cultures, magic needs to be continually renewed and innovated. With the magic secrets disclosed, the magicians have to rack their brains to improve and perfect the magic shows. If not, not only will they lose their audience, but also lose their creation abilities. To attract more people, the magicians have to create more fresh, fancy and novel magic tricks. In the meanwhile, their abilities of magic shows will also be constantly improved.
