Why is music important to many people?

                  "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast."

English literature is full of references of music. Literatures of different eras
reflect the likes, dislikes and nature of people belonging to that era. If you read
music-related phrases or poems of any era, you will find that these phrases or
poems reflect the same reasons people listened to music years back, as they do
today.


Music is, and has always been a part of mankind. Walk into any IT company
today, and you will see people working with their headphones on. Stroll into
the reception of any Multinational company, you will be greeted with a pleasant
music playing at a low volume from the speakers. Most people say that music
helps them work better and creates a relaxing ambiance. Any great occasion is
incomplete without music. Be it Valentine's Day, friendship day, someone's
birthday, or a party. On Valentine's Day, love songs hit the top charts; special
cassettes are complied as valentine day's specials. On parties and birthdays,
people like to celebrate with loud music.


Can you imagine any type of dance without music? Dance steps are created
according to the rhythm and beats of different types of music. Operas, plays
and musicals all revolve around music. While watching different dance forms
and musicals, you also enjoy the music that is a part of it.

You will find that music is your best companion. If you are feeling low, there
will be peppy songs to cheer you. If you are in a philosophical mood there will
be different types of music to add to your reflective mood. Different people
have different preferences towards music during different moods.


There is an endless variety of music available - instrumental, blues, jazz, rock,
pop, reggae and lots more. Every type of music has a different impact on
people. Some people prefer to begin their day with soft instrumental music.
Some prefer hard rock playing in their cars as they drive to work. Different
people like to end their day listening to different types of music.


So, music is an inherent part of human life. Even nature has it's own music.
Bird's chirping in the morning, water gushing down rivers, and breeze blowing
through trees are all a part of nature's own music. Life without music would be
still and meaningless. That's the reason people listen to music for different
reasons and at different times.

Why are groups or organizations important to people?

             Why are groups or organizations important to people?

Human beings are social animals. One cannot live a good life, if totally without
others. Although people sometimes may prefer staying alone to think and do
their things, generally, they have to join social activities. Obviously, group
activities are an important part of people's lives.


Since the ancient times, people learned to live together. Compared with the
cruel natural environment, human beings seemed too weak and helpless. Wild
animals posed a threat to their lives all the time. If, instead of fighting with the
severe nature together, by living alone, few could be successful to survive.
People at that time had to take part in-group activities.


Even in today's modern society, with the help of highly developed science and
technology, people do not need to struggle for survive and life becomes no
longer as dangerous and hard as before, group activities are still a necessary in
many aspects. In my opinion the following are some important arguments.
First, group activities help people to reach their goals. As we all know, one
piece of chopstick is easy to be broken, but when ten pieces of chopstick are
bound together, it will be a tough job to break them. Suppose building a house,
one person may spend years to finish, but when groups of people take part in,
the building will be accomplished more quickly.


Besides, group activities can help people when difficulties arise. It is hard to
imagine when a person, who never joins in group activities, suddenly got sick,
what he will feel if nobody comes to help and take care of him.


The most important of all, group activities make life more colorful. This can be
testified in our daily life. It is fantastic to take part in signing, dancing, or
traveling groups, after tight-stringed workdays. But all this activities will lose
their attractions and meaning if done by a person alone. Suppose a very
sociable person may be surrounded by applause and respect. Absolutely this
will boost up his self-confidence, and therefore makes his life more enjoyable.
Group activities have already become an indispensable part of people's life. So
how can you shun other people? Go out and meet them!

What one thing would you take for a trip?

                   What one thing would you take for a trip?

If there were just one other thing I could take with me on a trip, it would most
probably have to be my copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, my favorite
novel by Douglas Adams.

This might seem to be a strange choice to many people, most of whom would
generally prefer instead, to take something of more practical value, like a cellphone
or a camera. I however, do have reasons for my decision.

For one thing, I am a book-worm. I adore reading books, and cannot imagine a
world without them. Books relieve boredom, dissipation, and listlessness. To
me, books are the perfect antidote to counter depression and loneliness, feelings
that one is bound to experience if one is going to stay away from home for such
a long period. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a book that is calculated
to enliven any mood, and any situation.

Another reason for my choice is that a trip generally entails a lot of traveling. I
am not excessively fond of traveling, but I happen to be one of those people
who can read while traveling, and so find it a most delightful way to spend
journeys that otherwise tend to be rather tedious. The book has made bearable
many a boring journey in the past and I anticipate that it will stand me in good
stead during this trip too.

The hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy has been my favorite book for a long time
now. I have read it several times, and look forward to reading it again and again.
It has brought laughter and humor into my life, and I cannot remember a page
in the book that I did not enjoy. It has been an admirable travel companion to
me in the past, and I would definitely take it with me on my trip for the simple
reason that it is one of my most prized possessions.

A picture

                                           A picture

If I were supposed to leave my home for one year, I will take surely with me,
besides clothing and personal care items, the picture of my girlfriend.
I will take my girlfriend's picture with me, mainly because she is the most
important person in my life. Also to be able to see her all days and finally to
remember that there is something important to return my home.


My girlfriend is the love of my life. During all the time I have spent with her, I
have realized that she is the only woman I want to be for the rest of my life.
She brings me both peace and security. Furthermore she gives me a reason to
keep enjoying this party called "the life." No matter how, I will always try to be
with her. That is why, carrying a picture of her can be a way to see her during
all this long year. I could see her anytime I wanted to, no matter what time it is.
In the mornings I would receive all her blessing thoughts just by looking to the
picture. This would give me the strength to start the day with happiness. In the
afternoons I could buy some food and eat in front of her to feel that we are
eating together. Finally during the nights I could talk to the picture, pretending
that she is there in the same place with me, and tell her all the experiences I got
through the day, so that would help me to go to the bed not feeling alone but
full of peace.



The picture would help me to remember that there is someone in other place
who loves me and who cares about me. It would remind me that I have her to
support me and give me all the confidence I need to be a better man in my life.
In conclusion, If I have to choose one thing to take with me in a one year trip,
that will be without a doubt my girlfriend's picture. Basically I would feel that
she is with me all the time, I would remember that someone else loves me and
that I love her too, and finally the picture would bring me the strength and will
to be a better person and return eagerly to my home.

How can schools help new students with their problems?

            How can schools help new students with their problems?

Students always face problems when they move to a new school. It might take
a long time for them to get familiar with the new neighborhood and the new
environment. And it is undoubtedly the responsibility of the schools to help
them out.

The most urgent task is to settle the newcomers down and make them
acquainted with the neighborhood. In some public schools, the school-owned
apartment is far from adequate, therefore the schools may do something to help
the students find apartments, as well as provide them with temporary
accommodations.

 There is also little time for students to learn where the
laundry, the post office, the supermarket, etc., are. Thus, it is helpful and
convenient of the school to provide information as above for the new students.
Students do study. So it is also important for new students to be familiar with
the academic stuffs of the new school. I believe it is the academic departments'
responsibility to provider the students with such information. Introductory
seminars help students be aware of how do the faculties to in their research
work such that they can choose their research field and advisory rationally.


What is more, it is also necessary for the newcomers to be fully involved with
the traditions of the new school. It is well known than different schools have
different traditions, and these traditions should be a precious experience of the
students. Then it is always reasonable that the schools provider some
opportunities, for instance, holding lectures.


To sum up, the schools may take various measures to help the new students
become acquainted with their new neighborhood, and to give the new students
adequate information about the school, for example, academic information and
traditions. These make the students familiar with the new schools as soon as
possible.

Strikes ..... Are these socially justified ?

                                     Strikes ..... Are these socially justified ? 

Strike is the manifestation of continuing struggle for power between classes over the distribution of

resources . The strike as a form of protest owes its origin to the stresses accumulating up in the hearts of the workers who were not treated as human beings but as beasts of burden , rightly comparable to an ox in p lough . If the master wants work from it , it must work . It cannot protest . This situation along with poor wages and unsuitable working conditions agonized the industrial workers in the early 19 th century : workers united at a clarion call of Karl Marx : "Workers of the world  unite , you have nothing to loose but chains" 

The worker thus united began to negotiate and bargain for the restoration and implementation of their rights . Freedom of expressions being guaranteed in most of the democratic countries of the world , any person after his failure to get justice , is legally equipped to express his anger and differences of opinion by resorting to the last weapon of collective bargaining termed as strike . But what are the benefits of a strike to the economy and the society ? Does the worker really gain anything out of it ?

 It is the society which is the loser almost every time . The strike could be in factory , hospital , electricity department  and water supply departments, universities or government departments . The strikes are generally accompanied by violence . They push back the economy , causing hardships for everybody . As such strikes are not for the benefit of either the workers or the society .


 Strikes hurt the national economic growth and productivity . The workers remain without work and resort to antisocial activities like drugs , arson and theft. The frustration in their minds manifests itself in the form of destruction of public property and even traumas at home . The total societal and economic mechanisms break down . This is not a healthy sign for a developing nation like ours . Strikes lead to colossal wastage of man hours and resources of our country . Thus strikes should be banned altogether.

Does borrowing money from friends harm friendship?

            Does borrowing money from friends harm friendship?


It is claimed that developing a real friendship is a long and complicated process.
Maybe the reason is that firstly people have to know each other very well. And
after that they begin to trust each other and to prove themselves as real friends.
Unfortunately, it is as difficult to develop a friendship, as it is easy to ruin one.
One of the things that can test friendship is borrowing money from a friend. I
do agree that sometimes it could harm or damage the friendship. Money can
destroy almost everything, in fact. Borrowing and lending money can be
considered as signs of mutual trust. And if the money is not given back in time
or not given back at all it will embarrass both parties. Thus series of
misunderstandings begin which could actually ruin the friendship.


Borrowing money is often comprehended as a simple act of help and favor. But
when the faith in the reliability of a friend is lost it will harm and damage the
friendship for sure.


Friendship resembles a contract between two people, although its rules remain
unwritten. And when one of the friends does not play by the rules the other one
simply quits the game called friendship. The result is a bitter recollection from
a damaged friendship. In conclusion-we have a few real friends in our lifetime
and it would be a shame to lose some of them because of such banal problem as
money. In my opinion, money does not worth as much as our friends do. And if
we cause harm to any of them and if we ruin something so important and
invaluable as real friendship because of money, it will be one of the biggest
mistakes in our lives.So let's be wiser and never make a friend go because of
 money.

To borrow or not to borrow

                                           To borrow or not to borrow


"Keep your friendship and business relationship separate." This statement is
very popular. There are many people who have personal experience that proves
this point. A dollar sign often symbolizes greediness, envy and even crime.
That is why many people avoid involving money into their friendship. They try
to keep them separate.


We can find the reason for this separation if we take a closer look at human
existence. An individual has to choose between physical and mental sides of his
life all the time. Almost in every religion he is presented as a creature
comprised by two parts: one of them is spiritual and good, and the other one is
materialistic, and therefore, bad. It is extremely hard to choose once and
forever which part of yourself you devote your life to; we usually try to
man oeuvre between them. I think that we can stop being afraid of keeping
money and friendship closer to each other, and even benefit from merging them.



I personally never had a bad experience with involving money into my
friendship. I never borrow money from people, but I have no problem with
lending money to my friends. They always return it on time, and I never have
to remind them about it. I am also sure that if I have to borrow money from
them they will never refuse to lend it to me. Maybe it indicates that they are my
real friends. In this case we can see that money can be litmus paper of
friendship. I know my friends for many years and I am certain that nothing can
break us up: neither money nor other circumstances. If I decide to start my own
business I will do it with my friend, because he will not deceive me or steal
anything from me.



On the basis of this personal experience of mine I can deduce that money does
not spoil friendship; they just indicate the worst parts of our souls - the
materialistic parts. Money helps us understand who considers them as a
source of living, and who worships it. If my conclusion is right I recommend
that everybody involve money into friendship - this way you can find out who
your real friend is.

Money and friendship

                                       Money and friendship


Friendship is the most beautiful thing in the whole wide world. Money, on the
other hand, is the most essential thing in the whole wide world. So, while
dealing with these two very important and sensitive things, one has to be very
careful. Before giving my opinion about the topic, I would like to discuss with
you some of the reasons which can harm the friendship and some which do not
harm friendship.


Friendship is a relationship based on give and take. So, as long as there is both
give and take, I don't think there would be any fear of harming the friendship.
Some things to be kept in mind while borrowing money are- 1. Borrow money
from a friend who is financially stable and doesn't mind sharing some bucks
with you. 2. Return the money before deadline, even earlier if possible. 3. Do
not make borrowing a habit. If these things are followed any good friend will
be happy to help and the relationship will also be not hurt. After all, a friend in
need is a friend indeed.


Some of the things that may hurt the friendship are- 1. Choosing a wrong friend
to borrow money. Some people do not like lending money to anyone. Such
people will lend the money if a friend asks for it. But then, they become very
nosey and keep nagging the friend asking him to pay back. This attitude is very
unhealthy for a good friendship. 2. Making borrowing a habit. There are some
people who make borrowing a habit. It is ok to borrow money once or twice or
when there is real need for money. If borrowing keeps continuing, it becomes
very annoying and thus harm friendship, because, too much is always too bad.
3. Not returning the money on time. It is possible that you lend money to a
friend because he was in need of money. As a good friend it is his responsibility
to return the money as promised, because you may be having some other plans
and be counting on that money. So delay in paying back (especially when the
donor is in need), can be harmful to friendship.


Life is like a turning wheel. What goes up should come down. So we can never
say when we could be in need of money and friends. So I think we should help
real friends who are in need of money. We can also borrow money from good
friends, but be careful in choosing the correct friend and keep up the trust.
As far as my opinion about the topic goes, I think borrowing money can ruin a
good friendship. There are friends who say that nothing can come in-between
them and they would do anything for friendship. But such ideas are only good
in stories. In real world, money is a very important factor and can influence any
kind of person. So chances of hurting a relationship is very high. I think
"Friendship is like a golden chain. Once broken, can be mend again. But the
scar still remains". So it is not worth to take a chance with the "highly
influential money" and ruin an otherwise long-lasting friendship.

How is your generation different from your parents'?

               How is your generation different from your parents'?

Everybody talks about a conflict between generations. This is a well-known
expression, used as an explanation for misunderstandings between people of
different ages. Although sometimes this is an excuse for not recognizing who is
wrong or right, it is certain that every generation of people is different in
important ways.


Even though everybody probably thinks this way, the differences between my
generation and my parents' generation are striking. The technological progress
is a certain cause for these differences. My parents did not have access to
information as teenagers nowadays have. Television, for example, was a luxury
that not many people could have afforded, and even if they could, the television
programs were very poor. I remember my mother mentioning how eager they
were to watch TV series like "Samantha" or "The Giants' Planet." Those films
seem so trivial these days.


Another important difference between our generations is caused by the type of
political power that governed the country. My parents grew up under a
communist regime whose main characteristic was censure. This censure
prohibited them to speak up their mind in public. Strict rules must have been
obeyed; otherwise they could have been seriously punished. Nowadays, we live
in a democratic environment that cannot possibly be compared with the
pressure of a communist government. This means that people are encouraged to
think for themselves and not to fear to express their true opinion. Of course,
this leads sometimes to violent acts from people who misunderstand the role of
the democracy.


Differences between generations have always existed and it is natural for them
to exist. Progress leads to differences of opinions and points of view. It is true
that my generation and my parents' generation are different, but this does not
mean that one is significantly better than the other one. I think we all should
remember that before starting to judge one another.

What holiday would you create?

                           What holiday would you create?

People remember the memorable events and great deeds or achievements of
great people of a country by celebrating specific holidays as a mark of respect
and honor. If I have the opportunity to create a new holiday in my country India,
I would like to add 27th August, as one of the national holidays to honor the
birth day of noble laureate Mother Teresa to remind all of us about her selfless
devotion to the poor, destitute and unwanted sections of our society.


Mother Teresa left her country, Macedonia at a tender age of eighteen and
embraced the city of joy, Calcutta, to serve the poor. She initially taught in the
Christian missionary school and later she was moved by the pathetic conditions
of the homeless people mostly living in the slums. She gave up her teaching
profession and started working with her meager savings for the uplift for the
causes of the poor.


Initially she had to face the trouble weather from various sections of society.
Her continued selfless devotion and love for such unwanted and neglected
sections of people was widely acclaimed later on by majority sections of the
society and generous financial grants poured in from various agencies. She had
further extended her "mission of Charity" for the lepers, orphans etc with the
support of over 1000 volunteers working beyond the geographical boundaries
of India.


Her love and selfless social service is unparalleled and needs to be reminded on
this 27th-August each year by different like-minded groups in the society to
walk to different slums with the poor, lepers, orphans or people sufferings from
various incurable diseases and bestow their love and affection. They should
provide them with clothes, foods, gifts, and financial assistance and take them
out in the heart of the city through a procession.


This would help the weaker sections of the society to join the mainstreams of
the society and they will not feel neglected and uncared for. Moreover, such
love and affection would avert the increasing trend of crimes in the society.
In the present day everyone is on a retrace for his or her material comfort and
the human value is on the decline. The remembrance of Mother Teresa's
teachings would motivate people for contributing towards a great cause of the
society and make this world a better place to live.

Island Hopping or Road Rage?

                                      Island Hopping or Road Rage?

For someone like myself, the choice of spending my hard-saved money on a car
verses a trip is a difficult decision. Both cost a lot of money, but each have their
own benefits. Having lived my whole life in large cities where public transport
has always been the most cost effective and efficient way of getting around, I
have always spent my money on traveling. Even though I now live in a place
where public transportation is neither cost-effective nor efficient, and where a
person needs a car, were a friend to ask me whether they should buy a car or
spend their money on a trip, I would recommend going on a trip.


Taking a vacation has more benefits than buying a car. There is a lot that can be
learned about other people as well as yourself by going abroad or even
traveling around your own country. For instance when I was in my early 20s, I
traveled throughout Europe by myself. During this trip, I met a lot of
interesting people both other travelers like myself as well as locals. Through
this experience, I learned to appreciate other people. I also developed tolerance
and independence, which helped me to grow as a person. Buying a car on the
other hand, does not help you develop as a person. In fact, I have noticed that
since driving on a regular basis, I have become more self-absorbed and less
considerate of other people. Even this morning, I found myself getting angry at
the driver in front of me for going 30 in a 35 mile zone. I do not wish this stress
upon my friend. Rather, I would tell them to spend their money on a nice,
relaxing holiday, which brings me to my next point:


Taking a trip helps people relax. There is nothing more relaxing than taking a
nice long cruise or spending a few weeks Island-hopping around the Islands of
Indonesia or Greece. You can live a stress-free life for a few weeks or months,
with nothing but what to have for dinner to worry about. From experience,
since owning a car, I have had nothing but stress. My car is old and is in need
of constant maintenance and repair. Even now, I am worried that my car will
break down on my way to work and not only will I be late, but I will have to
pay for the towing as well as. My car is a continual expense that I have to
budget for, while a vacation, if you refrain from using credit, is a one-time cost.
Remember too that you can also take some spectacular photos. What is better? I
would rather see my friend's artful pictures of beautiful scenes and interesting
people than photos of their car.


In short, I would suggest that my friend spend their money on a long, stressfree
vacation where they can learn about other cultures as well as themselves
rather than buying a new car. After all, on returning from this often lifechanging
experience, they can always work, and it won't be long before they
have enough money to buy or lease a new car.

A vacation or a car?

                                      A vacation or a car?

The development of technologies and industries has brought us many
conveniences. With the help of modern conveniences such as cars, buses, trains
and planes, one can travel a great distance in a short period of time. One of my
friends has received a gift of money. He is thinking about using this money to
buy a new car or go on a vacation. Personally I would suggest that my friend
buy a car.


The first and most important reason is that a car can bring him convenience.
Undoubtedly, nowadays people rely on cars for transportation more than ever
before. For example, when he drives a car to go shopping, he may feel more
convenient and can pick up more groceries than before because he can put
groceries in the car trunk instead of carrying them by hands. Furthermore, when
he wants to pick somebody up, or travel to a scenic spot, a car will make him
feel convenient.


Another great reason why I encourage my friend to buy a car is that my friend
will not spend much time on commuting anymore. Everyday we waste too
much time on waiting for a bus or riding a bicycle to work. We all experienced
the frustration of taking a bus. After having their own cars, such the problems
will disappear automatically.


Of course, if my friend decides to use his money to go on a vacation, I think
that there are some advantages also. For example a vacation may increase his
personal experience and knowledge, and may even reduce many troubles that
are related to a car. But if all the factors are contemplated, I think that the
advantages of buying the car will carry more weight than those of going on
vacation.


From what has been discussed above, I may safely draw the conclusion that
buying a car will be a right choice for my friend.

What changes will the 21st century bring?

                       What changes will the 21st century bring?


The 21st century has just begun. Upon the question "what changes the new
century will bring," different people have different opinions. Some may believe
that the new century will bring us more awareness on security issues. As far as
I am concerned, I agree with this point of view. I believe that safety and
security are more and more important for our day-to-day life in this new
century. In the following I will try to make my position clearer.


One of the most significant events at the beginning of the new century is the
"9/11" attack. The terrorists launched an attack to the United States, causing
lost of lives and huge damage to the world's economy. Since the "9/11", there
has been more and more worries and consciousness about the security issues in
our life than ever before. For instance, when we travel abroad, we have to pass
intensive security-checks at airports and borders. The waiting time at those
places are much longer than ever before. In addition, nations have to invest
greater amount of money to improve the security measurements during
international events such as the Olympic Games, in order to protect personal
safety of officials, reporters, athletes and audiences from around the world.
Moreover, everyday we can hear from the news that some terrorists' attacks and
wars are happening somewhere in the world.


The world has become a dangerous place. As a result, more and more people
nowadays prefer to spend their holidays at home. In a TV show, "Faith
POPCORN- Report", when people are being asked opinions about their homes,
they say "my home is my castle". It is even said that it is more secure to live
in the wilderness than in the city, due to the fact of crime, drugs and
environmental pollutions.


Security issues has changed our lifestyle dramatically. Life will quickly become
different for all of us. Therefore it will be more important to reinforce our
safety in the new century.

Why go to university?

                                    Why go to university?

I strongly believe that everyone should attend university. Entering university is
at the same time a so much promising step into a world of opportunities as long
as it is accompanied by a strong will and desire for distinction. The quality and
diversity of opportunities and the spread spectrum of choices higher education
can provide us is the core motive for everyone intending to attend university. I
will try to examine below the specific reasons for entering university according
to which I think are the most common viewpoints nowadays.

First let us look at what a person can typically gain from a successfully study at
a university. It is a diploma and/or a degree. This is by default leading to a more
distinct, respected, well-paid profession. Nowadays unemployment crisis is
troubling not only the poor countries but the developed western countries as
well, so that the ease of finding a job may play an important role in the
decisions people are making.

Another important reason is that people want to get more education. University
provides a higher level of education and has all these resources and facilities
for people who crave knowledge. Learning is the key to everything that we
want to improve. So, higher education helps us widen our understanding and
increase our intellectual ability.

Apart from the points I made above there is also a well known fashion all over
the world that is called career preparation. Many people attend university in
order to seek either a career in science and technology or a career in business. It
is believed that the ideas, opportunities, qualifications, in-depth knowledge and
expertise in science areas often make attending university imperative. Many
times a four-year study at a university may only be the beginning of a sequence
of moves someone can make in order to accomplish what he thinks best for his
career.

Finally, I cannot oversee the fact that many times studying at a university also
means living in a city far from home. New responsibilities always appear but
they do not become serious drawbacks. In contrast, the new sense of freedom
and independence a young man can experience or thinks he will is thought of as
something of great importance. One thing is for sure though, there is chance for
everyone in the community of a university to meet people, make new friends
and know individuals of great importance.

Last but not least I wish to say that the purpose of university is to harvest
knowledge and to being educated, so it is obvious that everyone can find a
reason for attending university.

Is human relationship with pets useful?

                          Is human relationship with pets useful?

I think that having close relationship with pets is good as long as you do not
over do it. Pets are friendly and loving. Let me explain my point of view.
Pets can be our friends. Especially in old age when our children go away from
home to study we feel lonely, then we can keep a pet. Pets could keep us busy
and lessen the feeling of loneliness. We can spend most of the time with pets
like feeding them, and taking them a walk. Pets are healthy to keep if they
could take our mind off of the troubles of day. But on the other hand, if we
worry unnecessarily about the items such as food, clothes etc. and behavior of
pet, then it's not healthy for us.

Some animals like cats, parrots, and rabbit are very loving. We can easily love
these animals. But emotional involvement with animals is not very good. Some
people treat pets as part of their family. They take pets to their own bedrooms
and give them place to sleep on their bed. They give them seat on couch or take
them in the lap. I do not think all this is very healthy for us. We should have
separate utensils and space for pets. A few people try to teach pets eating with
spoon and forks, they are happy if pets learn easily. Expecting pets to behave
like humans might not be good for pets, after all they are animals.

There are many store who sell all kind of stuff related to pets such as pet food,
pet clothes, pet toys, and pet homes. Buying nutritious food and separate homes
for pets is necessary. We should even buy a few toys for entertainment of our
pet. Now a day's pet owners spend hundreds of dollars on buying special types
of pet food, costly toys, and expensive pet homes. They try to get luxurious
things for their pets. I think these people should donate some of that money to
child food banks, since many children in our country do not have food to eat. I
think spending extra money on pets is waste of money.

According to me, pets can be friendly and feeling close to them can be healthy,
if we do not worry much about them.

A traditional house vs. a modern apartment

                 A traditional house vs. a modern apartment

I know there are advantages to living in a modern apartment, but I'd prefer to
live in a traditional house. My main reason is that I love traditional designs.
They're graceful and warm and inviting. I think modern designs are very empty
and sterile and not appealing. So, because of the way it looks, I'd choose a
traditional house.

I recognize the fact that a modern apartment is going to be in much better shape.
Being new probably means all the plumbing works, the roof is not going to leak,
the windows are properly sealed, and the kitchen appliances are in working
order. A traditional house cannot guarantee any of that. In fact, it's likely that
things will break down or need replacement, simply because of age.

Still, if the appliances are old, so is the wood, and that's a big advantage as far
as I am concerned. Very few new buildings have the kind of beautiful woods
that were used years ago. It's something that cannot be copied.

Space is always important to me, too. I need a lot of room for my home office,
my clothes, and to display all the knickknacks I have picked up in my travels. I
also like to have interesting space. I do not want all the rooms and windows the
same size or a boxy design. A modern apartment usually comes in one size and
shape. A traditional house is going to have a variety of spaces where I can put a
little table or a window seat. And it will have lots of room, from basement to
attic. These are all good reasons for me to prefer living in a traditional house.
Some people love modern design, but it's not for me. The space and beauty of a
traditional home are more important to me than having everything new and
perfect.

The role of advertisements

                                   The role of advertisements

The issue of the role of advertising in our lives is a very controversial one.
Some people think that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really
do not need, because they claim that advertisements have the power to
influence on our purchasing behavior. Nevertheless, my point of view is that
advertisements are incredible source of information about new products that
may improve our lives.

First of all, these advertisements can help us to choose things easier and also
save our time. For example, as a result of such an advertisement, a few years
ago I bought very useful tool to lose my weight. The only thing that I needed to
do was to attach it to any problem area of my body for twenty minutes a day.
Thus I did not to have do heavy exercises to lose my weight. The additional
advantage was that this tool also helped me save time for my favorite activities.
The second reason is that quite often advertisements tell us about new products
that can save our money. Again as a result of such an advertisement I bought
some special micro fiber cloths, which could help me to clean my apartment
only by using water. Thanks to its specific characteristics and possibility of
long-time usage, I do not need to buy any more different kinds of liquids or
powders for house cleans. Therefore the advertisement of this kind of cloth
saved my money.

Last but not least advertisements can tell us about new products, which bring us
new ways to cook healthier food. Fore instance, after watching a television
advertisement, a friend of mine bought a special pot, with which she can
prepare meat and vegetables without using any water or oil. This pot uses only
the natural hot steam to cook. Thus it helps to keep more vitamins and minerals
in the food, and get rid of the fat.

In conclusion, advertisements of new products definitely improve our life,
because they tell us about things that make our life easier, save our time and
money, and even cook our food better.

Advertising

                                                  Advertising

Advertisements, one of the symbols of the modern society, are prevailing in
every part of the world. Widespread and influential, advertisements are capable
of convincing people to purchase commodities that they do not need. Among
various factors that contribute to the phenomenon is the temptation of seeming
lower price, the influence of celebrities and, in some cases, the exaggerated
functions of the products.


The foremost reason for the phenomenon is that hardly anyone is able to
resistant to the tempting low price, which is a trick played by the sly and
shrewd merchants. For example, there are always so many products on sale that
few of us are able to be sensible and rational enough not to be lured by the huge
price tags with "sale" on them. As a matter of fact, the buyers are hooked by the
seeming discount. By frenetic and irrational shopping, people would stock up
piles of items that they actually will not be in need of in the foreseeable future
or even for the rest of their lives.


Another subtle explanation rests on the fact that celebrities, who have been paid
a considerable sum of money, play an important role in the effect of
advertisements. Some famous stars are so influential that companies focus their
attention on them and make the best use of their fame. As a result, a group of
loyal fans would rush into stores and go into rapture if they are fortunate
enough to possess one. Consequently, both the stars and the sellers benefit from
the commercial game, regardless of what the consumers obtained.


The third convincing reason I would like to mention is that the exaggeration
made in the advertisements by the merchants is also deceitful. It is, undoubtedly,
confusing and puzzling for ordinary consumers to distinguish the unqualified
ones from millions of products presented in front of them. In addition, a
majority part of the merchants, some of whom are inadequate and inferior, are
in the disguise of appealing appearances. Consequently, if is of no wonder that
consumers would buy products preached to be perfect, a considerable number
of them are nothing but a waste of money. Naturally, it is probably too reckless
to maintain that advertising is a matter of cheating since some accompanying
merits also come along with it, such as the aesthetic values.


However, the minor advantages will never prevent us from concluding that
advertisements attract consumers to purchase useless products, because of their
so called discount, the effect of celebrities and the boastful description.

Outdoors vs. indoors

                                       Outdoors vs. indoors

People would show different preference to indoor activities and outdoor
activities. Some may be interested in spending their leisure time indoors, while
others may be fond of the latter. As far as I am concerned, I would always
prefer to be outside for my leisure activities.

In the first place, outdoor activities can provide me a pure natural environment
in which I will feel more relaxed and refreshing. For example, I can always feel
regenerated only after one-hour jogging along a quiet street, with the fresh cool
air and wind around. Moreover, it is a real fun to travel and enjoy so many
wonderful sightseeing in different places. During their vacation, most people
would choose to travel to enjoy a period of leisure time so that they can refocus
on their studies and businesses.

In the second place, participating in varied outdoor activities can help us
increase knowledge through our own experience and widen our horizon. As a
famous saying goes: to become wiser, you need to not only read ten thousand
books but also you need to travel ten thousand miles. It is true when we go out
we have the chance to meet different people and different things, which cannot
happen if you stay indoor. We chat with people and exchange ideas, we visit
many places and learn different cultures, all of which can let us know more
about a true world.

In conclusion, I personally prefer outdoor activities to indoor ones not only
because I can enjoy the relaxation and refreshment in the nature but also
through participating in varied out activities, I gain valuable opportunities to
convert theoretical knowledge from books into a kind of real experience.

How should your school spend a gift of money?

                 How should your school spend a gift of money?

Our educational objective is not only to fill students with the knowledge, but
also to improve their capacity and skills of analysis, which will benefit the
students all their lifetime. So to achieve this ambitious objective, it is necessary
that the school shall have all sorts of laboratories to facilitate various laboratory
tests in the school. So naturally, when my school receives a gift of money, I
think the best way for us to spend the money is to build basic laboratories for
the students and teachers.

Firstly, our school is not well equipped with such a basic necessities. We have
capable teachers and intelligent students in our school, which created a strong
academic study atmosphere. But due to lack of necessary laboratories, the
teaching is only limited in the class. Students learned a lot about the theory but
no more practice, which detracts the understanding of students and affects
building up of their capacity to apply the knowledge into practice. Therefore,
the educational quality is questionable. This has impaired the fame of the
school. Consequently, brain drainage is a big problem in the school. The
excellent teachers and intelligent students are desperately looking for wellequipped
schools for their teaching and studying. So to curtail the loss, it is the
high time to invest the fund to build up all these necessities.

Secondly, to spend the money on establishing laboratories will benefit the
school for good in the long run. Parents assess the school according to the
educational facilities that the school possesses. Poor facilities will keep
students away from the school. So from the point of view of attracting more
students, building a first-class laboratory is the prime task of the school.
Furthermore, the local education authority has also paid attention to the
problem of poor educational facilities. If the situation maintains like that
without any improving, I suspect our school will be closed down by the
authorities.

Last but not at least, if our school use the money on building educational
facilities, it will make the donators more comfortable. By building a new
laboratory, I believe it can attract more donators.
In sum, to spend the gift fund to build up the laboratory is a wise choice, which
not only can satisfy the students and teachers in the school, but also can make
the parents and the donators happy.

Does playing games teach us about life?

                   Does playing games teach us about life?

Playing games plays a significant role in people's daily life. You can always see
children playing soccer or basket ball in parks, and adult enjoy themselves with
the bridge game in clubs. Game may become more and more complex as we
grow up, but our enjoyment has never changed. It give us lots fun, meanwhile
teach us about life.

First of all, playing games teache us about the strategies which we can apply
in our real life. In fact, most games' original ideas come from real life. For
instance, Chess imitate the battles between two countries. During the game of
chess, we need to analyze what situation we face, evaluate our assets, guess
what our rivals would do in next steps and make the best choice from several
possibilities. In real life, when we meet a challenge, we usually analysis the
situation and estimate our ability and decide what to do next. Therefore, games
are mirrors of real life.

Playing games also teaches us how to deal with other people. We learn about
teamwork during the game, if the games are played in teams like soccer or
basketball. Nobody can win the game by himself even though he is strong, and
runs fast. Everybody should communicate with his co-players. Also, in real life,
no one can survive without other people's help and cooperation. A man who
gets along well with his co-workers is likely to be successful in his career.
Meanwhile, playing games also help us focus our mind and energy to reach the
goal, and teach us to divide a difficult problem into several relatively smaller
and easier tasks and solve them one by one. Playing games also teach us to
adjust our plan when situation changes. Finding a good job is always not easy,
especially during an economic downturn, as we are currently experiencing. At
this moment, we may go to school to pursue a higher degree instead of job
hunting. It is those games such as chess that teach us to adjust our strategies
and pace in real life.

Life is not a game, but games surely teach us a lot about life.

How would you use a free gift of land?

                   How would you use a free gift of land?

Land is an invaluable asset and from time of immemorial it has been regarded
with respect and perhaps envy by those who do not own any Land is equivalent
to money in a tangible form and the potential of undeveloped land has to be
seen then to be believed. When it is given in the form of a gift its value is
infinite, because this is something that is stolid and eternal. I can let my
imagination run riot when I see the various uses it can be put to. As it is a gift I
am assuming that the land extends into a few acres.

I have always wanted to live in a sprawling house surrounded by gardens that
are bathed in a riot of color. I need space to breathe and the matchbox
apartments of the city make me claustrophobic. Long verandahs with porticos
must open into rooms where light and air reign supreme. Luxurious bedrooms
unmatched in size and decor, lounges which exemplify what they stand for,
salons, elegant drawing rooms, a huge library, a study, studios to pursue my
hobbies and spiral staircase which lead to the upper floors are what I envision
as an abode.

That however is just the tangent of my dreams that touches the periphery of the
land. Moving out towards the gardens I find I require even more space than I
did for the interior. I need a couple of summerhouses and small private cottages
to enable me to get away when I want. A conservatory filled with plants and
unusual flowers, a huge swimming pool, a small gym and a spa would be fitting
as extensions.

It would perhaps be selfish to utilize all the land for myself. I would like to do
something for the people around me. A free reading room and a circulating
library is something that many people do not have access to. This I would like
to construct for them. To culminate it all I would like to use part of the land to
construct a public park and playground for the kids who do not have any such
facilities.

Dreams are nice and they sound even nicer when put into words. If I get a piece
of land as a gift these dreams can become realities. I enrich my life style and
those of others too by bringing joy and spreading it too. I wish it came true.

Should lands be developed?

                              Should lands be developed?

Just as our human beings came from nature, we would return to nature sooner
or later. It is self-evident that losing our natural condition means that we are
building up a sepulcher for ourselves.

Nature is the original source of our food, house utilities and industries. So we
cannot live without her. Sucked the nutrition from nature, we created a
wonderful world. She is our mother who we always turn back on. Wise and
resourceful are people to try their best to keep nature prosperous and abounded.
Many people may hold the wrong opinion that spending money in preserving
nature is a big waste of money. Even though, it is true that we cannot see much
of the returns in the near future, it is worthy in the long run. What is more,
nature itself can make money. The beautiful landscape of nature that was saved
will attract many visitors. We also have many different famous places for
people who came from all over the world. In fact, it is a high-profit business
and will contribute to our economic in the days coming.

Taking a look at our country's qoe-state, our agrarian land is diminishing
quickly. Nature areas are vanishing year by year. We are just facing a thorny
way that needs us to take measurements on immediately. Thus, there is no
reason to neglect the fact that there is more need for land to be left in its natural
condition.

Burdening the great historical task, we cannot use up the limited source to
fulfill our unbounded desires. Housing and industry but make us live a bit more
comfortable now. They cannot lead us go further. We should leave what we
have inherited from our ascendants to the descendants.

Individual learning vs. group learning

                    Individual learning vs. group learning

We as human beings have different qualities, strengths, and weaknesses. Same
goes for studying. Every individual has a different way of studying, where one
finds it easier to understand and comprehend the matter he/she is studying in
his or her own way of learning. However, methods of studying can be classified
into two major categories, namely, individual studying, and group studying.
Some people prefer group studying, because for them group studying provides
them with diverse information, that is to say, that each member in the group
participates and is able to provide different information on one subject.

Another reason is that if any member finds difficulty in the subject, he/she can
easily discuss the problem with other group members, who will be most ready
to help each other. Then there is also the aspect of division of work. For
example, if students are given an assignment to complete, and if each person in
a group is responsible for a different topic, then the load of work is divided
among the members of the group and will eventually not burden any one
person. On the contrary, many students prefer studying alone, mainly because
they want to do their work on their own. Doing so really helps them, because
they alone are responsible for what they are studying, and therefore are
responsible for their own grades, this evolves a sense of responsibility in the
student. Also, since there is no one to share their work with, they have to do all
their work on their own, which again is an advantage. For example, a student
who studies alone, when given an assignment, does it entirely by
himself/herself. Doing so, each and every topic is familiar to the student and
the entire work is a product of his/her own effort. So, if he/she gets a grade on
such an assignment, the student would know what his potentials, what his
strengths and weaknesses are.

I prefer to study alone, since in that way I get the proper sense of what my
weaknesses are and what my strengths are. I get to improve my weaknesses.
Although if I find any difficulty I cannot take help from any other person unlike
students who study in groups, but then I can always ask for help from a teacher.
But I believe studying on one's own is important because anyone can study in
groups but when it comes to individual studying it becomes tough. And in the
real world an individual is confronted with situations that a person is
responsible individually. And a person can acquire such a sense of
responsibility only through working on his or her own.

Thus, it can be concluded that studying alone is more effective than studying in
groups. Although, the different methods of studying mostly depend on what
works better for the student.
