Argumentative essay - Women should serve National Service.
EXPOSITION-ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY Women should serve National Service A country should have an efficient military defence to ensure its own safety and existence. I firmly believe that apart from men, women should serve National Service. In this continually developing world, men and women are being treated more equally, not only in careers, but many other aspects as well. This should not exclude National Service. Everybody plays a part in serving the country and it will not harm to add more to the military force by including women. In America, the women soldiers have proven to be as equally efficient and well organised as the men. Participation in National Service trains one to have a stronger character and grooms oneself in physical fitness and social skills. The harsh environment and situations build up one's determination and perseverance in battling against all odds. Moreover, one learns the value of the things that he has and learns to appreciate them. For instance, when camping in the wilderness, wood has to be gathered to build a ire, tents have to be built with poles, canvas, ropes and such. It is a far cry from the comfort of home, where the bed is laid ready with pillows, blankets, and the room is equipped with an air-conditioner. You will then realise how lucky you are when you have a cosy house. In addition, countless opportunities to train your lifeskills are
This article involves the study of how Internet users exhibit signs of depression.
Hannah Celemen Internet Depression Depression is a serious illness that interferes with daily life. The person experiences varying severity of anxiety, sadness, and restlessness. According to the National institute of Mental Health, other symptoms identifying depression include difficulty concentrating, loss of interest in activities once enjoyable, insomnia, overeating and thoughts of suicide. This disorder can completely consume a person’s life, as they become a shadow of their former self. It also has negative effects on their families and friends as they try to provide them with the support and care they need so that they can continue on with their lives as normally as possible. Chellappan, Sriram (2012, June 15). How Depressives Surf the Web. Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/opinion/sunday/how-depressed-people-use-the-internet.html This article involves the study of how Internet users exhibit signs of depression. They surveyed 216 undergraduate students at Missouri University of Science and Technology with a depression test and monitored how they used the Internet without actually spying on what or whom they were emailing. They found that the participants that scored high in the depression test actively used their email, which psychologists believed to indicate high levels of anxiety. They would also constantly switch between emailing, chatting, and
Analysing a Transcript.
Analysing a Transcript. The first thing noticed when looking at passage five is that although there are speakers, it is no ordinary script. It is a transcript, a verbatim record of spontaneous and everyday speech. Therefore it is not necessarily interesting or exciting, nor is it going to be short in length. There are various factors within the text that verify this. For example, instead of usual punctuation the commas and full-stops are replaced with micro-pauses and timed silences, in this case lasting no longer than two seconds. Another is that the character R is both hesitant and prone to making mistakes during speech, implying that the dialogue is indeed spontaneous. The context of the transcript is not clear, as there are no indications as to when or where the conversation took place, just like there are no documented paralinguistic actions. We find F setting the agenda by inquiring about the riding school R has presumably attended recently, but for what purpose is he/she asking? It seems that F is simply amusing R who now adopts a younger role, as R is happy to talk and keep the agenda the same. F shows no particular or keen interest, but not so much that R is aware of this. This is where we begin to recognise the roles of the characters as F acts as a parent or older figure, making him the more dominant of the two but with good intentions; he/she has more power which

I found a chef's hat in Zariya's fancy dress box for her to wear. When she first put this on and looked in the mirror she said, "Like a baker hat!" To begin with, Zariya and I looked through lots of recipe books for ideas for our baking. She helped me choose what to bake by looking at the colourful pictures and pointed out the double chocolate chip cookies saying that she liked to eat biscuits. Zariya found looking through the books
How to be a positive influence in a child(TM)s life
How to be a positive influence in a child's life In order to be a positive influence in a child's life you, as a childcare worker, need to feel confident and positive about yourself. If you have negative feelings about yourself and have low self-esteem, you may pass this onto children. An important part of social and emotional development is the development of self-image and self-concept. This is the picture we have of ourselves and the way we think other people see us. It also includes the characteristics that make us different from others. It's what makes our personality. A child's self -concept and self-image is established over the first few years of their life. Children who have high self -image will be very confident and feel good about themselves. Self-image is very important as it affects the way people feel about themselves. When children have low self-image they do not always have the confidence to try new things and are often shy and withdrawn. People who work with children need to make them feel confident and good about themselves and need to counteract any negative influences in their lives. Children gain their confidence, mainly through adults, especially their family as they are the first carers of children. Tips for keeping children's self-image high * Make sure you step in if children make unkind remarks about each other * Smile and greet children
Subject: Job Shadow- Dental Hygienist
To: Mr. Pillsbury From: Erin Geis Date: January 16, 2012 Subject: Job Shadow- Dental Hygienist For my job shadow project, I chose to follow Cathy Seiders, my hygienist since I was 5 years old. She works at Arbours Aesthetic Dentistry Office in Rancho Santa Margarita. This memo presents my observations of the office as well as the job of a hygienist. The office is decorated very nicely and it is simple and clean. They have a relaxing waiting area for the patients with drinks available and a television to watch, as well as magazines to read. There is also fish tanks and granite to add class to the office. The receptionists are very welcoming and make sure you are comfortable right as you walk in the door. This dentist office is up to date with all their technology and offer services like: veneers, inlays/onlays, bonding, dental implants, bleaching, bridges, and crowns. A dental hygienist will see about 6-7 patients a day. In a cleaning appointment, they will use their tools (such as a piezo) to scrape off any plaque or tartar/clean the teeth. They also use a tool that creates suction and flushes the teeth with water. They also will polish the teeth, apply fluoride, take x-rays if necessary, and brush and floss all the teeth. There are a variety of flavors available for the fluoride such as watermelon, bubblegum, mint, lemon, lime, chocolate, etc. This is great for kids
Development of 4 to 9 years
4 to 9 years Physical Development Many children grow steadily at this time but less fast than during infancy. By the age of 6, a child's head will be almost adult size, even though the body still has a lot of growing to do. They practical abilities continue to develop. At four years they may be able to kick and throw large ball around. By 6 or 7, a child may be able to skip and ride a bike. They would enjoy climbing places and enjoy learning to swim. S/He will be able to draw a picture of a house and will include the garden and sky. Intellectual Development By the age of 6, children often use language as well as some adults. Normally language develops very fast between 2 and 6 years. Between the age of 2 and 7 years, most of the children learn to count and to explain how much things weigh. Language Development At round two years of age most children have started to speak, using two word phrases such as 'Melissa park', meaning Melissa wants to go to park. As children grow, they start to use their own type of language pattern to communicate such as 'I want drink', Young children of 2 or 3 years do not use adults language, and it is probably best not correct what they say. They can use adult speech and have a reasonable knowledge of words by the age of 5 or 6 years. Although, children continue to develop their knowledge of words and ability to understand and use speech

Lifestyle factor: Alcohol. Official guidelines recommend that men shouldnt regularly drink more than 3-4 units a day and women shouldnt regularly drink more than 2-3 units a day because of the harm this may cause.
Lifestyle factor: Alcohol Alcohol is seen by people as a more socially acceptable drug, but that's not to say it's any less powerful than other drugs. Technically speaking, it's a nervous system depressant, which means it slows down your body's responses in all kinds of ways. Just enough can make you feel great, too much and you'll have a hangover the next day. Alcohol will often exaggerate whatever mood you're in when you start drinking. It is also a relaxant so, in moderation, it can reduce feelings of anxiety and inhibitions, making you feel more sociable. It takes your body an hour to process one unit of alcohol. For most people, if you drink within the sensible limits for regular drinking, that's OK. But for some people drinking gradually gets out of control and results either in regular binge-drinking, heavy harmful drinking or alcoholism (alcohol dependence). Alcohol comes in a whole range of different drinks. Spirits usually contain a higher level of alcohol to wine or lager. While 'Alco pops' and ready-to-drink 'mixers' may not seem it, they usually contain more alcohol by volume than beer or cider. One drink too many can leave you feeling out of control - like slurring your words, losing your balance and vomiting. One unit is half a pint of ordinary-strength beer, lager or cider, one small glass of table wine or a 25ml measure
A Parental Ode To My Son Aged three years and five months
A Parental Ode To My Son Aged Three Years And Five Months My first impression on "A parental ode" was a slightly confused one. It was about a father talking about his experience with his son. As his son is young (a toddler) the father is full of praise, admiration and is completely besotted. As the poem progresses the toddler grows older and with age comes mischief. The young boy becomes a nuisance and the father becomes exasperated by what he gets up to. The poem starts off by saying "Thou happy elf!". At this stage in the poem the father is in love with the child and calls him a happy elf. An elf is slightly mischievous and perhaps the father knows that the boy is as well. "Thou merry, laughing sprite!" again shows that the father is proud and delighted with his son. In the second stanza the father completely changes his mood and becomes cross and angry with his son. "Drat the boy! There goes my ink". The son now maybe frustrating the father by doing little accidents such as spilling the ink. The father is very cross with the boy and starts letting his anger out by shouting and saying stronger language in front of the boy. The poem is extremely varied from verse to verse and there becomes a pattern of hate and love. In the third stanza the father has forgiven his son for what he has done and describes him as "thou human humming bee". The poet has used alliteration
