Love: Good or Bad
Love: Good or Bad By: Tina Chen Senior English Love... good or evil 10/8/09 Love, what is love? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I've ask myself a lot of times, but I have not yet get a pacific answer. I try to ask my sister for an answer, but she only said "love can be good and bad, it is only depend on you." True, love can be good and bad, I agree. Example, when you're finally find your true-love and deeply fall in the love-river, you may think love is wonderful; but when the person that you love said don't love you any more, you may now thing love is bad thing. Different times have different answers, but one thing I know for sure: love is a motion that you can't see can't touch; it's a feeling from your heart. But isn't good thing just to have the opportunity to love. Every animals have feelings, including humans, we can be happy, can be sad, and we can have love. Everyone born with love, we born because of God gave us life, in the article, "'If We Only Have Love'" by Dianne Bergant , one paragraph said "We are to love others, because with them we are in covenant with God, and we show our love for God by the way we love them." This paragraph shows how grateful we can have love, and to love others. Even if you are not believe in God, God still loves you, to make you be apart of this wonderful world. Love is a different motion from happy, sad, or angry. Love can be
Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to inform you that we are now in a period that global warming has become a serious issue! It is partly our fault that this has happened.
Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate that you could spend your precious time to listen to my lecture. I am here to inform you that we are now in a period that global warming has become a serious issue! It is partly our fault that this has happened and undoable it will not only affect our environment and our future - as well as your children's future. Why did we let this happened in the first place? Because we are too lazy, we are surrounded by all sorts of issue that dictate our life and consequently couldn't be any less enamored by our own environment. Who can guarantee that you will live to see your own grandchildren? Who knows, human being might as well extinct like dinosaurs, if you all pretend to not take notice of how much damaged we did to the environment, and doesn't do anything about it. I can imagine how the earth would look like in the next ten years, if we as a human being, did absolutely nothing to save the earth. In the next ten years, there would be no tree to be seen on earth and whose fault is this? Think! If there is literally not a single tree to be seen, what will change the poisonous carbon dioxide that we produce, into the breathable, safe, and essential air that we breathe in every second, oxygen? In the next ten years, there will be nothing to be seen on the surface of the earth. Why is that? This is due to our lack of responsibility and lack of interest
Boxing: Against
Boxing Essay: Against Boxing is one of the most controversial, currently legal sports in the western world. Some argue that it is a barbaric game, nothing but a negative influence on youth, promoting violence and causing injury to poor, exploited working class men. The arguments of the anti-boxing lobby that you will hear may include - it is expensive to take up; it is not entertaining; it encourages violence and that it can lead to deaths and injuries. These arguments proving it is simply a cruel, inhuman sport. The first argument we shall look at is the dangers of boxing. There are tragedies where someone is killed or critically injured, plus there is a chronic problem that when someone is hit on the head they have a large degree of injury to the brain, the majority of boxing injuries are, unsurprisingly, a result from a blow to the head. Any blow to the head is harmful and this causes serious medical concern that continues to accumulate, this naturally showing that there is clearly no safe level of boxing . Medical staff can deal with a blood clot but the real answer must surely be to, altogether, banish this so called sport. Not only is this forcing hospitals to nurse the injured, being punched in the head can cause major brain trauma and tissue damage, this is a lifelong injury and cannot be healed. The brain is the most susceptible area to injury and other injuries
Writing to argue - The internet
The internet is the best invention in the world The internet is the greatest technological revolution of the 20th century. It has opened up many opportunities that would have never happened in the pre-internet era. 48,750,000 people have access to the internet in the United Kingdom. As this number grows so do the endless opportunities that will occur. In this argument I intend to explain to you why the majority of people agree that internet is the best invention in the world. Before the internet, talking to friends meant that you had to either meet up with them or call them. Letters that you sent could take weeks to arrive to other countries and talking to family in other parts of the world was expensive or even impossible. Now, however with the invention of the World Wide Web, the world has become smaller and easier to navigate. Family and friends can instantly talk to each other on Msn or through other services like Skype, a video calling network that is most importantly instant and free. Letters can be sent via email in a matter of seconds to people in other countries. You can arrange things in minutes without physically talking to people. You can share memories on social networking sites with family and friends who are in other countries, for example, weddings that families and friends haven't been able to attend. In the past we would never have been able to

Want to be super as superman? - A comparasm.
Want to be super as Superman? Imagine just for a minute that you could lift everything. That's pretty cool, right? Then imagine just for a minute that you could fly. Fly whenever you want wherever you want. That's much better than just to lift something, I am right? ... Then imagine just for a minute that you were socially accepted everywhere, and no one judged you by the way you looked, or the way you acted, and everybody loved you. That is perhaps better than flying...? "If I could be anyone in the whole world... I would like to be a normal boy." - Superman This statement is from the TV-series of "Smallville" where superman, alias Clark Kent, lives as a young boy together with his family and friends. Being superman, or dream about being superman is not very rare, but it's an escape from the real life! "Superman" by The Kink's or "I wish I could fly like Superman" is a song about social pressure and feelings of personal inadequacy; it's about a man, who is very unhappy with himself when he looks in the mirror. He wants to change, in order to adjust himself to society and its expectations. He has dreams about being the biggest of all role models. He wants to fly, and be like superman! He believes that you must be a superman to survive today. He wants to be free, to give his girl what she deserves, and he keeps telling her: There's got to be something
Describe a personal experience that still sticks in your mind
Explain how you felt at an important moment in your life. I hate Tuesday, because that's the day that I have piano lesson. I have been playing piano since I was five. My piano teacher were very straight, if I didn't practice, she would scold me or even hit my finger with pencil. So I was so scared to face her. One day, I walked into the lift, pressed 19, the lift started to move upwards. I walked out the lift, and press the door bell in front of me. Mrs. Chan opened the door said 'Did you practice your piano?' To be honest with her, I told her I didn't then she said 'Winona, you must practice your piano. Otherwise you'll never pass your grade 2 exam. Your mother and I have decided for you, you are going to take the exam a year later. From now on, I'll be straighter to you. Make sure you practice your piano!' Oh no... I said to myself. From that day onwards, I practice piano everyday but still, Mrs. Chan still hit my finger sometimes because I am not concentrate enough. I get more and more nervous everyday since soon will be my exam. Finally, the day has come. I dressed nicely with my favourite dress, make sure my finger nails are clean and short, keep on practicing and practicing again and again. My mum drove me to the place where the exam took place. I was waiting outside nervously, I kept my fingers moving in order to warm it up. 'Winona Chui please come in.' It's my
Smoke Free Society.
Andrew Budiman Ewrt 1A Smoke Free Society Imagine yourself having dinner with your significant other in a fancy Italian restaurant. A huge lamp is hanging on the sky-high-ceiling, brightening the 200-people-capacity-room. The sound of a soft and gentle music creates a romantic atmosphere. It is the most wonderful evening that you ever had in your life; until a skinny, bald-headed-man who is sitting behind you lights a fire and starts smoking. You can't breathe comfortably anymore because of the smell, and the smoke makes your eyes smart. The perfect evening you are having is turning into a living hell. The above example describes how a non-smoker could suffer from smoking. There are many other disadvantages that a non-smoker gets from this nasty habit. Many had even died because of what we call 'passive smoking', or 'second-hand smoking'. A non-smoker faces the risk of losing his or her health, convenience, and living environment. Looking at this fact, non-smokers should be granted the rights to ask a smoker to stop smoking whenever they feel disturbed, regardless of age, gender, race, and ethnicity. The first of those three disadvantages, which is probably the most important one, is the health of non-smokers. According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Second-hand smoke contains higher amounts of toxic agents than the smoke that passes through the cylinder of the
Teenagers are being trapped in a world of pressure nowadays from a lot of contributing sources, the main ones being peer pressure, Parental pressure and school pressure .
Teenage Pressures Teenagers are being trapped in a world of pressure nowadays from a lot of contributing sources, the main ones being peer pressure, Parental pressure and school pressure . These can lead to teenagers being very stressed and nervous. Peer pressure is one of the main reasons for teenage pressure because they are getting hassled into doing things from their friends which they don't want to do. Smoking is a main one because a lot of young people smoke and try to get their friends to do it because they think it makes them look cool to other Teenagers. Alcohol can be a big reason as well because older teenagers can persuade younger teenagers into drinking by saying that they can hang around with them and that drinking makes them look cool in front of others. Clothes also is another big issue because teenagers are expected to wear the best of clothes and shoes. If some teenagers wear cheap clothes with no big designer label on it they can get laughed at and called names. This is one the worst ones because a lot of teenagers don't have the money to buy designer labels to wear to school which eventually get to small for you. Also your friends can try and persuade you to do something that your parents won't let you do. You might think it is okay because your friends parents let them do it but your parents know best about your safety. Parental pressure is one
Cosmetic surgery
Today, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to address the very important issue of Cosmetic surgery (also known as plastic surgery) which is surgery that is unnecessary from a medical perspective, but is carried out to improve appearance. I will be explaining different points of how plastic surgery is improving everyone's life style. Firstly, given that the reality is that we're judged on our appearance all the time, it's perfectly rational to want to look good. Much of the cosmetic work done greatly improves not just appearance, but quality of life. If a women isn't secure enough not to bother with cosmetic surgery, then fine. Nevertheless there are many who find that their appearance truly troubles them and that improving it would greatly enhance their quality of life and if they can afford it, let them. The vast majority of people who have cosmetic surgery have one procedure and never look back. The decision to make one's appearance match their inner wellbeing may have very positive effects allowing the person feel more comfortable both physically and emotionally. In addition they're made happier, more secure in themselves because of it and adapt to their environment more easily. Secondly, I think that we should not restrict freedom of choice. Certainly there's an element of danger involved. But we let people box. We let people bungee jump. They undertake these dangers for fun
