Exercise is the best way to let you have healthier heart. Any exercise that makes your heart beat faster makes your heart muscle stronger and with a stronger muscle blood circulation is done better. Since exercise can help you burn harmful fat, e.g. the unhealthy fat around the heart named cholesterol, a regular exercise lowers the risk of heart disease. Consequently, the roll of exercise in having a healthier heart can not be neglected. p

Governments are responsible to make the society a better place to live. Public transportation system should be improved to help people not to be forced to use their own vehicles. So, the air can be more clean, the roads less crowded, and the people can commute faster. Some local sport clubs should be founded to lead the youth spend their free time in there. More importantly, some strategies should be applied to make the society more safe. Obviously, it is the government’s duty to help people enjoy a better life. p

Historically, the first civilizations have been made along rivers. So, rivers have been playing a great role in supplying the need (needs) of people.s
Comments: Concerning unity, the paragraph is very well unified. But it lacks coherence. Try to make it coherent by adding some transitional words. You can also learn more about coherence by studying the next chapter of out textbook.
The circulation of books publishing (published) in Iran is much lesser (less) than in many foreign countries. The custom (habit) of book reading among Iranian (Iranians) is badly neglected. The quality of books needs refinement. Most of the books torn easily, are too (so) heavy that (they) are just suitable to be kept in a library, lack attractive elements, (and) have many dictation problems. More importantly the increasing price of books makes people to prefer not to buy the specific book they need (books are so expensive that many people cannot afford to buy the ones they need). So, by promoting the custom of book reading, refining the quality of books, and adjusting the price we can increase the circulation of our books.d
Spending to (too) much time in (on) study (studying) is laziness. A person who study (studies) a lot is usually a man who prefer not to think to much does not think much. In addition, the person by this character (such a person) usually lacks creativity for that (because) he (he/she) just want (wants) to take advantage from other's experience. Furthermore, ganing (gaining) experience by just reading won’t be useful enough unless you (one) gain (gains) it practically. So, study should accompany by (be accompanied with) thinking, having creativity, and trying to be more practical (practicality).
Comments:
Using a software (digital) dictionary in (is) more useful than the paper one (improper diction: a printed one). A
If possible, use a software dictionary instead of the paper one. Software dictionaries let you look up words very quickly. For a man with trained hands, typing a word on the keyboard is much faster than flipping pages in a large, heavy book. At the stage of facing with so many new words, getting through a huge paper dictionary is disappointing. Furthermore, since the space of paper dictionary is limited, the puplisher has no way but to print the text in a small font, use short and limited examples, or convey the meaning of words in a quicker definition. In addition, in many software dictionaries, you can listen to recordings which show you how to pronounce a word. So, with a software dictionary, you can enjoy quicksearching, Recordings, (wrong use of comma) have More (more) information and clearer layout. A
An Allowance should be given to children when they do their perents commend. p
It is necessary for parents to give their children a weekly or monthly allowance. Many parents do that regardless of their childen behavior because they believe an allowance teaches children to be financially responsible. Other parents only give children an allowance as a reward for doing their job or when they have behaved properly. When I was about eight years old, my parents used to give me a list of shoping almost every day. If I could do the job properly, I got an allowance. But if I couldn't I didn’t get my allowance. That fifty Tomans a week was all the incentive I needed to do their orders since there was always something I wanted to buy. Therefore, giving children an allowance when they have done their job is a smart parenting decision. a
Running a test on animals is unavoidable. Z
Unavoidably, In so many fields, animals are subjects of our experiments. Medical researchers, cosmetic companies, and others often perform experiments on animals. Many people feel that experimentation on animals is wrong and should be stopped immediately because animals do feel pain, and there are other alternatives. But, in fact, in some scientific branches, running a test on animals is just the best way. Especially with the modern technology that makes the case painless to animals. By having animals experimented, we can save the life of the mankind. z
Elderly drivers needs their license to be reapplied. Z
Elderly drivers should be required to reapply for their driving licenses at least in every two years because with age comes diminished vision, hearing, and reaction. But with a regular checking, if such a problem found, their license should be either terminated, or be limited in just some controlled way. Like not being allowed to drive at nights, or exceed the skirt of the town. With short periodic checkup of the aged people, so many dangers can be prevented. Z

A good quality to look for in a partner. p
People make friends for the purpose of gaining some benefit. For me, to evaluate the advantage of choosing someone as a friend is to enjoy every minute of being with him. So, in my opinion, honesty is the most important feature to look for in a partner. You can fully imagine how wasteful of time it would be to spend it with a friend who is not sincere, truthful, or trustworthy. Once, with a ruthless betrayal of one of my so called friend, whom I shared one fo my secret, I really was near to loss my face. Having no honosty, one is not worthy to be choosen as a friend. p
Do you learn better by yourself or with a teacher? q
Some people prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way beacause they have more freedom, independence, pressure in their self-study. There is some truth in this way, but they fail to see the many advantages of learning with a teacher. Especially, when you learn something more complicated, it is always best to have a teacher. My arguments for this point are as follows. q
First, a ateacher can act as a guide to lead you to a shortcut toward your purpose. With no good instructor, you may spend lots of time just for finding a solution to your very slight problem while a teacher can just get you to the point. q
In addition, a teacher extracts real pressure on you. If you try to study by yourself, you must be strong-minded enough to keep on while with a persuasion of a teacher, whom you regard as your supervisor, you may be more likely to continue. q
Last but not least, to study by your own, you may have some problems you won’t be aware of. But, with a guidance of a devoted teacher, you can find out those out-of-sight mistakes. Q
consequently, I prefer to go to the class, studying with a teacher who can guide and urge me. Q

Has TV destroyed communication?dd
There are always good and bad consequences following technological development. q
Television has served many needs of people. But, unfortunately it has destroyed communication among friends and family. The reasons are that people are used to get maximum information, more than they need, longing to be aware of every inordinary kind of material broadcasted by TV.q
People are anyway busy these days with personal and professional works. On top of this, some channels like discovery, news, Kouthar keep people occupied with all the knowledge they need. They don’t see any time to meet friends or family. For instance, they are even having dinner watching television.w
There are advantages and disadvantages of every thing created on the earth. It depends on the way that human beings utilize it. w
