This is another way that the lecture casts doubt on the reading.  The writer then asserts that cloud computing is sage because data can be backed up and restored easy. The speaker makes the point that data stored in the cloud is not safe and can easily be lost, stolen, deleted, or copyed.

Would you like a career as a teacher? Explain why or why not and give details and examples to support your answer I can see why some might feel that being a teacher would not be enjoy. On the whole, however, it is my opinion that getting a job as a teacher would have many advantage. This piece of writing will explain my views on this topic in more detail.  First of all, as a teacher I would be able to make a lot of money because teachers in my country earned a high salary. Recently, I read an interesting article about this subject. According to what I read, even inexperienced teachers who have just graduated from the college get above average salaries. The article also mentioned that teachers get a pay increase every years. These days, buying food, clothes, and renting or buying a place to live is expensive in my city, so I want to earn as much money than possible when I get a job.  In addition, as a teacher I would get plenty of paid vacation time each year. In my experience, teachers in my country get more than 12 weeks of time off each year. To give an example, my uncle is a teacher and he gets six weeks of vacation time on the summer and two weeks in spring, fall, and winter. Because of he has a high salary he can afford to travel new places each year. I love traveling, and it would be great to have so many time off so that I can travel to many new places.  In conclusion, for the reasons given, I would be definitely interested in training as a teacher. In the future, there is a chance that I will majer in education at university and become a teacher.
