My Obession




Today, I watched a news report about petroleum and I was extremely impressed to learn that everyone highly relies on oil without even knowing it! It is incredible to know that we encounter it in our daily lives with the majority of items we use such as products for hygiene and beauty. I cannot believe that I apply so much oil on my face with all the make-up I use. As I watched the news, I thought to myself, "HOW NASTY!!!! EEEWWW!!! What's the point of washing my face if right after that, I soak it will oil?" I know this thought was gross. "But it's true!" I am glad that I wash my face
on a daily basis though because I do not know what it would be like if I didn't! I bet my face would be completely full of acne. "EEEWWW!!! HOW GROSS!!!" I would totally be every one's reason to laugh. I would surely live a miserable life with a low self-esteem. What I found most surprising though was that our dependency on oil doesn't stop on products we consume for external and internal use. It is also used on photograph films , plastics, fertilizers, and pesticides. As the news report ended, I realized that oil is very, very important in my life. I cannot believe how much oil I use a day! Now imagine how much oil I use a week, a month, and within a year! I don't know what I would do without oil and I hope I never find out. I suggest everyone listening to me to use oil wisely, to appreciate and value this natural resource because we never know when we will wake up without it at this rate.

  1. I was just as shocked as you were when i read about make-up containing petrochemicals and let me tell you that it is nasty.haha I was also highly impressed to learn just how much people rely on oil, without it i think we would live like cave mens. haha Im just playing, but i do think life would be so much different and harder.
    I like the way you connect make up to your life and how even though you think its nasty you still use it. I would make one suggestion which is to rearrange the fourth last sentence which starts with, "As this news..." because it sounds like an incomplete sentence.
