Best of the semester-3

One morning, I woke up as usual and went down the stairs dreamily. To my shock, I saw a stranger who was sunk in sleep lie on the sofa as if nothing had happened. Then I found that all the things were turned over and spread at sixes and sevens. Moreover, the thief ate all the food in the refrigerator. He also drank several beers and got drunk. After I saw that, I began to shout loudly in order to get rid of my fear. Before long, the thief woke up and took out a gun then he shouted at me,” Be quiet, or I will shot you.” Then I secretly put my hand into my pocket and found that I had a cell phone. Alarmingly, I called the police. Soon, the police arrived and burst open the door. The thief was so astonished that he couldn’t move. Then the police handcuffed the thief and sent him to the police station. Thanks to the police arrived in time; I could depart from the danger. I think that this was the most frightening experience I have ever had.

I'm not on the same page as those who oppose using the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment.  Although many people insist that using the death penalty be cruel, I strongly believe that the punishment can decrease the crime rate because by doing that, those who are going to commit crimes will stop to think before they do illegal things.  In addition, no one can argue against the fact that if we punish the criminals by using the death penalty, the victims won't worry that the criminals will hurt them again.  Moreover, too many criminals will commit the same crimes because they think that what they did will not threaten their lives.  Consequently, it's for all the above-mentioned reasons that I believe we should use the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment.

Best of the semester-1

I am hiring a new English instructor for my school and I receive two resumes from people applying for the job.  They are Lynn Whitnall and Debra Fines.  After reading their resumes, I choose Lynn Whitnall to be my school's English instrutor for some reasons.  First of all, Lynn has experience in the position of English instructor from 1997 to 2000 while Debra doesn't.  Furthermore, Lynn has awarded a prize which praise him for his excellence in teaching in 2004.  However, Debra doesn't have any awards.  Next, Lynn is fluent in Spanish, French, and Japanese.  On the other hand, Debra is just fluent in French.  Moreover, Lynn has more teaching experience than Debra does.  Lynn has taught since 1997.  In contrast, though Debra has experience in teaching, he is just a swimming teacher.   As a result, I prefer to choose Lynn to be my school's new English instructor.

Over the past 150 years there has been a huge increase in population and there are some reasons why this situation happens.  First of all, people have advances in medicine and health care; hence, more and more people can be saved from dying and they can receive better care than ever.  Another reason is that people have better sanitation so that there are less infections spreading.  Furthermore, people improved farming methods that produce more and better food; consequently, people could have healthier bodies.  Finally, there are fewer infant deaths and more people living longer; as a result, there are more and more people living in the world.  It’s for all the above-mentioned reasons that find why population increases.

I’m a business administration student and I have been asked to analyze a case.  I find some reasons why the business failed.  One reason is that the location isn’t good because the store is located next to the lobby on the ground floor of the Fairfax Apartment Building which is on a small side street just outside of town.  By the side of the store are two large music stores, so most people would go to the two large music stores instead of going to this small shop.  Another reason is that most of the CDs are classified as hip-hop and rock, but most of the dwellers are old and may like soft music instead of those sold in the store.  These CDs don’t meet their needs.  Furthermore, the shop is open Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 P.M. but at the time, there are less people than other period.  Most importantly, the ways we can pay for the CDs are too few.  The shop wouldn’t accept checks or credit cards.  It’s for all the above-mentioned reasons that I consider why the business failed.

Discussing Effects-2--Revised

Acton is a small town in the Midwest.  It has a population of 2,500.  It is a safe, quiet, and clean place to live.  Last month, Stanley Manufacturing decided to open a large factory in Acton.  There are some negative effects the new factory will have on the town.  First of all, the factory may bring pollution to the town.  The factory does emist the waste gas and pollute the air and water.  Consequently, people there can’t breathe fresh air and drink clean water and the pollution would harm their health.  Furthermore, it brings many new people to the community and makes the population more complex.  There are many people from different places congregate here and that may cause culture conflicts.  Moreover, the previous quiet town may turn into a noisy one because more and more people come here; as a result, people can’t lead a life of quietness.  All of the effects mean that the factory may bring some negative effects on the town.

Discussing Effects-1--Revised

There are several effects of global warming.  First of all, due to the increase of ocean’s temperature, the glacier in Antarctic Pole and Arctic Pole does melt quickly and that leads to the rise of sea level which may submerge the coastal regions and cause the deflation of land area that influences the environment and even may bring about wars.  Moreover, global warming makes the extreme climate such as rainstorm, drought and typhoons happen more frequently and also increases the loss of human life and property.  Furthermore, because the temperature rises, many areas face drought which causes serious desertification and that causes the grain yield to decrease; consequently, numerous people starve to death.  All of these effects mean that global warming influences the environment materially.

Expressing an Opinion-2 --Revised

Students should wear uniforms to school.  Although many people insist that wearing uniforms to school should not be convenient, I strongly believe that if we don't have uniforms, we have to be worried about what we should wear every day, and then we will not study hard because of spending too much time choosing clothes.  While it's true that we don't have freedom of clothes, I believe uniforms will make us look more disciplinal.  Furthermore, more and more larcenies happened in school, what we can do is properly manage the people who enter school.  If we wear uniforms, we can differentiate between students and strangers.  Then, strangers can't enter school easily, and the larcenies will decrease.  In light of all the points mentioned, it's obvious that students should wear uniforms to school.

Comparing-3--Revised

There are two restaurants, Kelly House and John House, which I have ever been to and I think there are several similarities between them.  First of all, both Kelly House's dishes and John House's are cheap.  Their price ranges from one hundred dollars to two hundred dollars.  Furthermore, the food quality of the Kelly House is similar to that of John House. They offer us high quality food and the dishes taste delicious alike.  Moreover, Kelly House's service is as good as John House's.  Kelly House's waiters and waitresses are always polite while they place the dishes on the table.  Likewise, John House's stewards and stewardesses are always careful.   Next, the speed of serving food in Kelly House is as fast as that in John House.  We only have to wait less than ten minutes for the dishes.  Both of  the two restaurants are good restaurants
