Text for number 22 to 25 Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories and photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations. A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and receiving images.

These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. Then machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy.

Sometimes the term of living to eat or eating to live becomes a hot topic to discuss. Some people claims living to eat is the best choice, but in the other side says that eating to live is the favorable choice.There are many reasons for those who choose eating to live. One of the reasons is that every human being needs food from the food to gain energy or power to perform daily activities. In addition, the human only eat related to their need or just satisfy his or her hunger. They can save their money for other necessities in their life. Moreover, they can avoid the sickness because of eating too much. They will be very healthy without being afraid of sick as a dog or obesity and avoid stroke. Likewise, the attitude of eating to live always consider an impact on survival and quality of our survival, the people will not conduct inhumane things, egoism and laziness.However, some people are familiar with living to eat because they think that living to eat is also a symbol of prosperity in life. Whenever someone can eat whatever they want to, it due to they can afford it. Moreover, when they have a fat body it means that they have a lot of money to satisfy their need.
