Orani - Cosmetic Surgery (an argumentative essay)

Nowadays popularity in society has changed. People who have a brilliant appearance is welcomed more than others. There are many ways to improve their physical appearance, particulary with cosmetic surgery. Plenty of people these days modify their structure with this. This essay will talk about why people make a decision to have cosmetic surgery and they are pleased with its result. It also explains why some people argue that it is the wrong way to change their own sturcture as well as refuting the ideas of those who disagree with this issue.

Cosmetic surgery is fully intersting and people don't need to feel anxious about its side effects any more. Firstly, I think a proper cosmetic surgery can improve people's personality, and make them have more self-confident to get good chances in their lives. In my experience, a lot of people who have had cosmetic surgery have had their personality changed in positive ways and they look absolutely delighted with their good-looking appearance. Indeed, and article in the Times magazine revealed in research last year, that a large number of women who had had cosmetic surgery such as noses and upper eyelids could get good jobs particularly in the entertainment industry rather than people who have never adjusted their physical appearance. Secondly, medical technology these days is far better than ever, so it is definitely safe to have cosmetic surgery in trustworthy places. Nowadays, doctors have been developing methods of surgery, doing lots of research and inventing high technology equipment. So, I believe that the development of medical technology could relieve pain very well. According to a report in the Korean Times, a doctor who has been a cosmetic surgeon for 30 years discovered a new method of nose operation which they can be finished in only 15 minutes and patients spend a shorter time on recovery afterwards. Lastly, cosmetic surgery could prevent and fix some physical problems. A good example of this is my relative who had upper eyelids problem. They had become flabbly and almost covered her eyes, so she could not see aything clearly and they annoyed her a lot. After she had fixed them with cosmetic surgery, she is totally satisfied with the result. Infact, a research study in the U.K. revealed that breast augmentation surgery has decreased the risky rate of breast cancer. As a result, cosmetic surgery has a lot of impressive points, ignorance about these benefits may lose you the great opportunities to be a new person.

By contrast, some argue that people should be satisfied with their own natural physical appearance. "Cosmetic surgery is a short-term beauty fix and it can make people become addicted to it. There are many ways to conceal their weakpoints, for example, dressing up and doing exercises. Moreover, people who have had cosmetic surgery put themselves into risky situations" said a senior medical student who is protesting against it. This may seems strong enough to convince people to stop doing it, but there is some evidence about this, for instance, they do not mind becoming addicted to it because they are extremely delighted to refix their weak points as much as long as they have got the necessary information such as trustworthy places, reputable doctors, and the side effects. In other words, they believe that they have maked an appropriate decision based on their sensibility. In addition, others protest that doing cosmetic surgery is a waste of time and money. It is likely to believe this argument, but spending time on searching data about this and collection money in order to fulfill their aspirations are worth it.

To conclude, cosmetic surgery is a fabulous way to change unsatisfied figures to be awesome shape in order to enhance people's pride to live properly. Furthermore, I do suggest that not only trustworthy sources of all details are essential, but also the people who have done and are planning to do cosmetic surgery should look after themselves completely well for being perfectly attractive people, and for those who are worried about its side effects, and think differently, if you keep seeking more information you will definitely prove your uncertainty that there are advantages rather than disadvantages.

Yusuke- Education should be free!!

In my opinion, all education costs except stationary should be free. If it was free, imagine what could be possible? First of all, i guess technology levels would improve dramatically in about 10 years. There are alot of people all over the world who want to study but they can't. Some of them might have talent about it but unfortunately, they can't afford to study because they need to earn money to survive so if they could study and have a job as a engineer , the level would be getting highter.
Secondly, i believe world economy would fix itself gradually. if everyon's education level was higher, companies would increase efficiency, because there are many ideas, opinion and expression that are valid. For example a person might become an entreprener or improve an enterprice by their idea. Then demand and supply would be effected. Thus, there are a lot of benefits to free education.
On the otere hand, some people have opposit opinion which is not to free education.thre are some reosons here. Firstly, education have already become really big business nowadays so if it was free, who pay for school ? it must be goverment and such a huge money. however if goverment pay for school , any kind of tax would be higher and higher. I guess a problem would occur what people who don't have child or have already finished to be educated would complaint to goverment that why they don't have to pay it. it's unfare.
secondly, agriculture population might be dicreasing significantly because people don't tend to be farmer recently furthermore if education was free, people would be farmer a lot less than before.Actually it is important to develop by science but experience is much more valuable than it. i mean agriculture doesn't need to study very much. They need people.
The overall idea of the essay is that there are some risks to free education, however, I reckon technology can help many things otherwise if talented people increase because of free education, marketing level would be higher then economy would be getting better.

IN VITRO FERTILIZATION . Luz Estella Morales

  In vitro fertilization is the simplest process of artificial insemination, where the sperm is put carefully into the eggs to produce pregnancy.
At least 5% of infertile couples use IVF( in vitro fertilization) treatments, which have been used since 1981 in women that are unable to get pregnant for different reasons, so it is a great alternative in couples who want to have babies and haven't been able to.
 Most women under 35 without a husband or male factor using IVF have a 25% possibility of conceiving and having a baby, because they have economic resources to look after him, although they don't want to have a partner.
 Another technique in vitro fertilization is ICSI(Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) using a manipulation of eggs using a microscope to inject a single sperm into them. The fertilized eggs can be returned to the uterus and the pregnancy can develop normally.
  In vitro fertilization has reduced the number of tubal surgeries by 50% since it was discovered, IVF was sucessfully used for the first time in The U.S.A  in 1981 and since then more than 45.000 babies have been born as a result of this insemination method. Many women with specific problems such as fallopian tube damage, endometriosis or coupleswho have low sperm count or poor quality sperm, find hope in these fertilization techniques.
 Eventhough, finding a solution to some problems, there are some aspects that people have to consider before using IVF  such as an expensive cost of the process, multiple pregnancies or drugs treatment effects.
   Nowadays IVF is being used for infertile couples, single women and medically it is a good alternative when womwn have problems in their reproductive system, although there is a risk to have a multiple pregnancies or the have to spend a lot of money using whatever tertilization techniques.

BULLFIGTHS. Sara H.

Bullfighting is an activity practiced for many years in some countries. Lots of people like this kind of spectacle and enjoy them maybe because they are known as a cultural activity, but in my opinion bullfighting cruel and inhuman and torture shouldn't be known as good practice.

In my opinion, bullfighting a sad spectacle where people enjoy  the suffering of animals. Before the event, the bull suffers a lot of abuse because the organizers of it need the bull to be weakened and disorientated. This activity  shouldn't be recognised as an art because it is an inhuman act where an innocent animal dies only because a lot of people want to have a fun day.

It is incredible how people enjoy spectacles where they see blood, pain and suffering; the main purpose is to kill living things. the matador (the person who kills the bull) executes a variety of attractive movements for the public during the presentation, while he and his assistants hurt the bull with lances, and they do more cruel things that are part of the spectacle. the bull loses a lot of blood ans the event usually finishes when the bull dies.

I don't agree with this activity beacuse people play with the life of an animal and enjoy killing it. it is unacceptable practice and there are not reasons for torture. animals shouldn't live with abuse from people. the correct action would be that people took care of them.

in conclusion, bullfigths are known as an art in a lot of countries, but it is time to realize that it is a terrible action against an innocent creature.

Mel - Shopping hours in Perth (an argumentative essay)

Do you like "Shopping" ? that is a normal question. Even if you answer "No" you have to do that and how would you feel if you have limited time to buy something because shops are only available during your office time? Although you have much money to pay, you can't go shopping because nowhere is open for you. I don't know why many shops in Perth are close five p.m., on Sunday and public holidays even though people live here who are renowned for one of the highest income of Australia. There is demand more than supply why these shops don't reserve their customers' satisfaction.
In my view, shopping hours in Perth close early and some shops don't open on Sunday. Cause people who live in Perth, especially work office hours that hurry to buy everything before they close. The first, most shopping centers in other cities close nine p.m. and open on Sunday. That's not necessary to have shorter time. Many cities such as Melbourne, shopping centers and department stores are open on the weekend. After six p.m.,  Perth become a sleepy town. Sometime it seems that nobody lives here because most of shops close and there is nothing to do in the city. The second, if the shops extend time, they can make more money and have more customers. According to a report in Thai business magazine, 2010 shopping centers that open until midnight on the weekend can make profit rate rise thirty percent from the same time in last year. Sometime people don't have ideas how to do, the first thing they decide to do is go shopping. The third, people can easily buy everything when they want. A research report from famous university in Australia said that the most favorite shopping centers which Australians want to go that are long shopping hours. Many time people forget to buy something, they often ask why shops close if the shops are open, they'll go to buy there. For these three reasons, I believe that shops in Perth should open longer. There are advantages of vendors and customers.
Some views, this is good period to service customers but there are many benefits which they have more time. Firstly, some people believe the time when they finish jobs and their day off should be family time that they spend time together whenever, some of this time they work and some families go shopping that make cash flow in the city will be strong and have good economics. Secondly, although people have more rest time but they don't need to have a rest of Sunday. If they work on holiday, they might receive extra payment rate. Finally, many people believe that there aren't any shops open everyday, people are punished to travel in Perth tourist attractions. It's another travelling opportunity. But don't forget shopping is one of interesting tour program that most travelers have in their trips and many cities use that are selling point to pull tourists from everywhere to visit them.
In general, shops are service businesses that focus on an opened hour in order to support their satisfying customers. On the other hand, Perth's shopping hours can develop family relation and workers in this business have more free time. It seem that everything is perfect. But in the long run, the business can't make a big profit if they don't extend time, the workers don't increase income and the customers and the tourists don't have anywhere to pay their money for shopping. Finally this cycle can't grow up and become decline, which just adapt proper opening hour and day. This is the best way to hold the most satisfaction of all.

Arranged marriage - hayden

   Are arranged marriage's positive for those involved? Should parents arrange marriages for their children and what are the advantages and disadvantages? From my point of view, I disagree with it, because parents don't know what their children want and they will not be happy too if they are forced into a "blind marriage". Besides that, they probably will grow apart from the parents after a long time for what their parents done for them.
   First of all, I think parents shouldn't arrange marriage for their children because most of parents don't know what type of girl that their children need as a wife for the rest of their life. In fact, parents don't know what their children thinking about althought having a blood relationship. In general, parents are in charge of all the house things but not of everything. The children future, marriage and other issues, for instance.
   Secondly, I believe that children wouldn't be able to be happy forever with their families if they had a " blind marriage". According to most of chinese ancient continuum movie, children probably will get divorce to each other after a " blind marriage" go on a long time. Besides that, children don't have any feeling with their wife/husband, eventhough affection can be cultivate, yet if a couples don't have any feeling at the first time that they met, they definitely will get divorce I guess, for example.
   Alternatively, some peoples think that arranged marriage is really work and good and parents should help their children to prepare their future means to find a good girl or boy. It is because lots of teenagers are very shy and don't have courage to meet even a girl or boy. According to some movies that I saw, perhaps they will meet a girl or boy that they have feeling to each other. In addition, most of the parents probably won't make a false change against for their children. Moreover, If parents arranged marriage for their children, their relationship will be even better that what we can imagine, means that, they will have a peaceful families.
   In conclusion, althought arranged marriage have got some good side and I see what it is getting at and I reckon too, but I still turning my blind eyes and persist what I am saying " blind marriage" is not the true love.

Sandra - Organ Donation

Organ Donation is a good practice because it joins with the medycal science can help with the threatment of many different illnesses. Also, the people can practice it and for this reason, many people will life and they will be grateful with the donation person. Finally, this practice will be refute for some religious and cultures, and the are going against this practice.

First, whe a person died, the bdy is not neccesary any more and the doctors can take many different organs and this action can save lives. in addition, a donalife organization report shows that around 1700 people are waiting in a list for getting an organ only in Australia.

Secondly, al people can do this practice, if you are interested in be an active donator, you need to permit this for writting. also, you must be a healthy person, it is very important because if you have some illnesses you can pass this to another people behind your organs or parts. This is a personal decision but very important decision, if you are interesting, you can feel  the possitive moral because you will be proplongate and improve of life that somebody.

In addition, many people have received benefits with this practice and the have the opportunity of life again, and they can enjoy the time with her or his family and they are grateful with the donation perso, the science and with god.  For all this reasons, Organ donation is an excellent practice and the world needs to know this benefits and know, how can the people practice it. However, the people that practice it when they are liling, they must be know about risks for this practice because it needs a big surgary and for this reason the donation peoples can get some infections and they need a special take care and precautions for them lives.
Eventually, some religious believe that Organ donation is not good because it will be against of God but it is neccesary to know that when the body died the Spirit does not pemanent in the body, for this reasom, this view is not correct.

The religiosu people think that only Gog can give or stop the live and this is true but God wants the best for our and for this reason, he gives the science and the tecnology for improving our health.
Other view is the ilegal practice because some bad people can use this for selling and buying the different parts. however, it is very important that the people know that this practice is very safe because the goverment and the science are controlling this situation all the time, and if the person wants to give her or his organs, the person will have all the garantice for this.

In conclusion, Organ donation is a goog practice beacuse the donation, the tecnology and the science can work together and the can save different lives. also, the organ donation can be practice for different people which can have different ages, genre and social status because nobody know when him or her will die and maybe, the person and his or her family could need an organ behind the practice. For this reason, the people can believe in god and this is not a problem but it is very important that the people understand that this practice never pretend to go against that him and his laws.
Same sex marriage is the major issue in most of the country. People having same sex partner are all over the streets, but the only problem they have is that they couldn't get married. This essay will argue about how does allowing same sex marriage change the thinking of the society. It will also explain how it will benefit a country. Lastly, it will discuss about how does it strengthen human rights.

Allowing same sex marriage would lead the society to be more open minded, because according to a recent research of Professor. Alexander Gillard, allowing same sex marriage in a country could broden one's friendship network. Especially for business owners that have to meet all kinds of people from the business industry.

Josh - argumentative essay example

Good morning from Melbourne!

I told you all that I would give you a sample essay based in the template I gave you in class on Thursday, so here it is. As you all saw, I wrote this quite quickly so if you find any errors please leave a comment on this post.

By the way, I do not believe a word of this; I think Sunday trading is awesome!


PERTH TRADING HOURS


Perth has a different lifestyle from the other capital cities in Australia. It's shopping hours are an example of this. Most of the shops are closed on Sundays, and many close at 5pm on weekdays. This essay will explain why this is a good thing for our families and for society. It will also talk about workers' rights and why Sunday should be a holiday for everyone. Finally, it will refute the ideas of those who support extended trading hours.

Keeping trading hours as they are in Perth will benefit everyone in the city, especially those with families. Parents already work very hard, and the possibility of making them work on Sundays or late at night is unfair. According to a recent study, parents living in cities with extended trading hours are 50% more likely to work overtime, often without being paid extra for their trouble. This is clearly unreasonable and can only lead to worse situations in the future. Sunday has been the day of rest for a long time in our society, and this means that people have more time to enjoy themselves, which benefits family life as well as the economy. Researchers at the University of Western Australia claim that people who enjoy their Sunday leisure time with their family and friends are twice as productive at work as those who must work on the weekend. Clearly, having a day of rest on Sunday is a better option than working. As we can see from these arguments, extended trading hours would be bad for society, so keeping them as they are is the best choice for everybody.

The common 9 to 5 work week is something that did not exist before the union rights movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It stated that the common work week should be forty hours, and allocated two days - Saturday and Sunday - as leisure time. These rights have been fought for and it would be misguided to just give them up for the sake of being able to go shopping on a Sunday. While convenience is something that is becoming more and more demanded in the new digital age, basic workers rights must not be forgotten. "The citizens of countries which have embraced the fast-paced 24/7 lifestyle work an average of 25 extra hours per week than those who have strongly guarded the rights of workers, so keeping a cap on how long we give to our employers is of the utmost importance", Dr Ken Ludwig, professor of Politics at the University of Manchester, said in a recent lecture at a Union forum. It seems that Perth has been correct in keeping Sundays as a day of rest for its inhabitants, and now is not the time to change our minds.

Many visitors to Perth would disagree with these arguments, saying that the city is a 'backwater' and losing relevance in an ever-changing modern world, but they are clearly misleaded. Visitors from Melbourne, for example, may complain that not being able to go shopping at the trendy Claremont Quarter on a Sunday is an ridiculous idea, because during their holidays in Perth they are not able to take advantage of the excellent choice of boutiques and department stores, which some advertisements have compared to Rome, Paris and New York. This may seem unfair, but it is in fact ensuring that the people of Claremont and surrounding areas can make their shopping centre all the more efficient and glamorous when they open it on the six other days of the week. Others would protest that opening stores on Sundays would be good for the economy, for Sunday trading in the eastern states is the busiest day of the week and therefore the most profitable. This may be so in places like Sydney and Brisbane, but the culture in Perth is different. Perth residents would much prefer to enjoy their beautiful beaches and amazing weather rather than being stuck in a busy shopping centre. Others simply complain that they can't buy their groceries at 10pm at night. The response to this complaint by Perth residents, rightly, is 'Why don't you just do your shopping earlier?'

All in all, Perth's trading hours are perfect as they are, and despite what others may say, this city does not require extended trading hours 'in order to drag itself into the 21st century.' Family life is more important than convenience, as is the rights of workers. Keeping the shopping hours as they are and not introducing extended trading hours is the best choice for society, and those who think differently have unfortunately been misguided by the false promises of a consumerist society.

Nida - Telling lies is sometimes bad

          What are lies? In the dictionary it says that to tell a lie is to purposely say something that is not true because you want to make other people believe it. All of us lie at some time in our life,Even some of the most respected people sometimes lie.
          Telling lies is sometimes bad.According to some facts,'when you are a little kid",what you want to do most is please your parents.Little kids sometimes think it will make their parents mad if they tell the truth about doing something wrong and then they find their parents get even madder when the kid tells a lie!.In my view as I get older I see other people telling lies or not telling the truth, So I might see adults telling everyone to do one thing and doing something different themsalves and another thing, Maybe there are times "when it doesn't seem like a good idea to tell the truth" then you say nothing. Is that same as telling lies? In my opinion I think lots of people thought that saying nothing was the same as telling bad lies if someone elsa got into trouble when it was your or fault or someone was not safe like they had done sometimes wrong or foolish and would do it again if they thought they would not be found out eg:stealing,taking,bruge,taking a bad rish.   
         When its sometimes ok to tell lies "white lies" for example can be using good manners like "thank you but I couldn't eat another piece",so that your host can have the last piece of cake,you don't hurt people's feelings like "Thank you for a lovely present." Even if it's not what you really want, or even if you hate it or keeping 'good' secrets like pretending that you don't know what dad has bought for mum's birthday.
         All these examples point out that lie,in particular everything has it sown advantages and disadvantages. Now that you know it "What will you choose to be a liar or truth teller?" In my opinion both are fine,so I choose to be both when the time is right.           

Orani - Cosmetic Surgery

In my view, cosmetic surgery is nonsense and people should be satisfied with their own natural physical appearances. First of all, I think cosmetic surgery is a short-term beauty fix and it can make people become addicted to it. Some people normally conceal weakpoint of their body structures by dressing up and it definitely shows many perfect results. Moreover some of them can improve their personality by doing exercises, so I'm absolutely sure that good results of this could be more long-life than surgery. Infact, an article in the Time magazine reveals a researh of the U.S. that over a three-year period since 2008, the percentage of people who have continued to do more cosmetic surgery have increased dramatically every year, being 15%, 27% and 38% respectively. The second, people who have done cosmetic surgery put themselves into risky situations. In my experience, there are many people who are miserable after modifying their noses and upper eyelids. Some of them have refixed them several time, and some have faced many side effects, for example, it is swollen, hurtful, painful, and they look strange and ridiculous rather than look good, as well as their health are deteriorated. According to a report in the ABC News shows that in 2010 almost 50 percent of people who did the cosmetic surgery have got thier health problem because of the its side effects. Lastly, I believe that it is quite a waste of time and money. People spend a lot of time on making a decision to do it, they have to review and revise a lot of information such as trustworthy places, reputable doctors, its side effects, and they also need time to recover themselves after surgery. Furthermore, a large amount of money is needed to fulfill their aspiration. Indeed, a 2009 study by the Asian Times shows that since 2005, people have spent at least $12,000 per person each year on it. As a result, in my opinion, the cosmetic surgery is like a production of plastic flowers, so I think that "plastic flowers" are not as awesome as "natural flowers" at all.

Chloe - Long distance relationships

Have you ever had long distance relationship? If you have, what about the feeling, is good or not? They can find lots of ways to keep it better if they really like each other. It's a good time to test whether the relationship between the two solid. And then if you find a right person, distance is not a problem.
In my view,it's not quite difficult to keep long distance relationship better and it's a good way to test their relationship whether it's strong or not. If they want keep relationship better or they think that's forever love.Nothing can change their mind or break their relationship and they'll use lots of ways to keep it better.My friend is in China and her boyfriend is in Singapore.They stay with each other for 3 years and they always chat on the Internet.Sometimes my friend will go to Singapore to meet her boyfriend.They're going to get married next 2 years.We can use Internet, mobile phone to contact with each other, or you can choose airplane, going to meet them.It's a good way to test their relationship whether it's strong or not. I have a boyfriend in China. I stay with him for 3 years, we love each other and we know each other what we want.Before I came to Australia,our relationship weren't quite strong.But now it's very strong and if we don't have a chat on the Internet or talk to each other on the phone,we'll think about something that we didn't do last night. If their relationship weren't good, can be separate and don't talk to each other a few days.That's will be great. If you find a right person, distance is not a problem. My friend is in north of China and his girlfriend is in south of China, they fell in love when they were in high school. But now they are graduated from the high school. Two mouths ago, his girlfriend said: l want to break up with you for we have distance between you and me. My friend didn't agree but they broke up already.Distance is not emotion excuse.
In my opinion, it's difficult to keep long distance relationship. And they'll broke up or find another people in that place. They 're in the different country and they can't meet each other every day, kiss each other every day. Then emotion will not strong and continue. Jackson and his girlfirend met in china. Last November, Jackson came to Australia and study English. At the beginning, they were fell in love and chatted on the internet every day.But on February of this year, they had a problem and Jackson really wanted to go back china while his girlfirend knew he wanted to come back. Suddenly his girlfriend called him and said: don't come back, study hard in Australia. After that, I knew his girlfriend wanted to end the relationship. On March,he went back to china. Two weeks ago, they broke up and Jackson was very sad and didn't eat anything.Long distance relationship can change lots of things and it's not easy to keep better.It's not a good way to test their relationship strong or not. It will be make relationship break up quickly.

Hayden - the pros and crons of arranged marriage

   In ancient time, arranged marriage was very popular but lots of people don't agree about it, because they won't feel happy after they got marrige.
   First of all, the advantages of arrange marriage is great for most of the elder people think that is good and parents should arrange marriage for their children, according to old people said that, some people are very shy and don't have couraged to meet a girl, so I think that if parents help their children to choose a girl, perhaps they will be happy and be able to give birth for their parents.
   Besides that, parents won't make a false charge against for their children, and they'll always sake the good side of the future for their children. In fact, parents don't have to worried about what kind of girl that their children in relationship to and they will also know about the gain and harm of the girl and also the background.
   Moreover, arrange marriage can also create a good relationship between father and mother in law with their son or daugther in law. In general, once their relationship is perfect, they definitely have a peaceful and lovely family and that can also be teaching what is the moral value for their children. In my opinion, if thier relationship is good, they will have a good conversation.

Luz & Verena - Study at University: Is it a good or a bad decision?

Young people should choose the possibilitz to study at the Universitz if they ar able to. It opens many doors for the future. Published research studies in Australia prove that 95 % of people leaving the University with a Masters/Degree, can find a qualified job in their chosen Industry.
On the other side, studying at the Universitz ist very expensive; not many people can afford it. The fact is, that international students have to pay about AUD 10'000 for every semester, which ist really a lot. On my opinion, it's not right, that studying in Australia is so expensive for international students. But as we know, the education industry is the third most important in Australia.

As the study at University gives you a lot of scientific knowledge, you will perhaps miss the practical training towards a profession. The country needs labourers, not only scientists, inventors or thinkers.

For this reason, on mt opinion, toung people should not go to the University after the highschool, because we need more people who are learning a trade. The fact ist, that there ar not enough people who are cleaning the streets, washing the dishes in the restaurants, dispensing the newspaper etc. Of course, people who were educated at the Universitz, wouldn't do this kind of work.

You should not study at the University, becuase it costs too much. Wht should the parents spned so much money instead of bligating their children to earn their own income as soon as possible? As we know from newspapers, there are too many families with small incomes, shich facititate their children to study at the University, but after a certain time, they get big financial problems.

Students at University don't habe a nice time, because they have to work so hard. During their collegues have fun, can go out with the earned money, are able to buy new clothes, students have to read, to write, and to do their homework. The fact is, that on parties, tou will amost find no-students; all of the party guests are non-students.
On the other hand going to the university has many desadvantages, you must spend lots of time studying and writing instead of you earn money working or having holidays.
You have to pass long hours studying at nights while your friends are in the pub dancing and having fun, also you have to pay a big  amount of money for your study, so you can't buy that beautiful car you wanted since your high school.
After finishing university most people have to work saling at the supermarker with a minimium salary. It's no fair , yet your parents still thinking that have a professional at home is the best thing in the life.
Nowadays your classmates from school are having graduation at the university and they are planning to set up their own office , but everybody choose esperimented lawyers or doctors. You will probably have  to close your office , because it is always allone, nobody gives you the opportunity to show your knowledges, "you are very young"
One day you encorauge to look for a job on the newspaper or you decided to put your resumme in a recruitment agency, unless having an interview you show that you forgot many things about your career, because is long time without practise.
Finalkly you realise that you wasted the money at the university, you lost your time, you couldn't have fun and you are unemployeed with degree.

Billy-study at university or not

In my opinion,study at university is the worst choose.Study at university have to use a lot of money and waste your time
Study at university ,you just can learn more about academic knowledge,it is not useful for you in social,people don't study at university can be successful more quickly.When you finish in high school,you are 18 years old,it is your best time in your life,you should find a job in social,it can get more experience for you.About 5 years later,your high school's classmates just graduate at university,but you have worked about 5years,you have a lot of experience than your classmates,so you can try to open your own business,to develop your cause.People don't study at university can be successful more quickly.

Mel - Shopping hours in Perth

Shopping hours in Perth

     In my opinion , shopping hours in Perth that many shops open until 5p.m. and close on the weekend is good for people who live here.
First, Employees who work in Perth get more benefit, they have more rest. A WA newspaper said that the reserch about numbers of stressful employees lower than other cities in 2010. People who work in retail shops or department stores in other cities don't have same free time to do activities with their families.Second, People who live in Perth have time to share with their friends and families and have time to do variety of hobbies.According to a report in family magazine, people often create new things when they have relaxing times. After 5 p.m. , most Perth People want to go home or have dinner with friends while other people are going shopping at department stores and become additced promotion shoppers. Finally, it's good for travel opportunities. Perth Concil decides limited trade time for shops so that punish people to travel tourist attractions in Perth. If you have free time, not only go shopping you can do but there are more interesting places that you should to visit in order to open your vision.

Angel -International Relationships

International relationships are very interesting,popular and difficult things.You should have many problem to work out,emotion is a complicated thing,you must have prepared before.
In my opinion,on one hand,it's difficult to keep the relationship for International people.Firstly,they have different cultures and different languages.In different counties have different religions,it's not easy to get used to everybody.In my opinion,if they aren't good at speaking English or something else languages,they can't communicate each other.Secondly,it takes lots of time understanding each other and because of different places that is difficult to meet each other.They are two different countries people,something they don't know each other any more,they don't know what about he or her family.So they should take lots of time understanding it.They live in two different places,distance is a problem.If they want to see each other,it's too expensive to buy a airplane ticket.Because they aren't too rich.Eventually,they live in two different places and their mind don't match,that is easy to make them break up.Many couple because of their minds can't match that they always have arguments,thus their emotion will become bad.I think relationships in the same country is difficult to keep,so different country like international relationships are more difficult to keep too.Anyway,if you really want to find an international relationship or keep the relationship,I think you should have a strong heart to do this.
But on the other hand,I think international relationships are good for people in their lives.Firstly,in can help you improve your language skill when you stay with a foreigner boyfriend or girlfriend.The fact that if you got a boyfriend or girlfriend who comes from other country,you can learn more than two or three languages.And I think you can improve your English everyday,for example,if you find an Australian or the person who speak English,you need to try to speak English everyday with them.Secondly,you can get a chance to go to another country that you haven't been there.You can open your eyes to know more interesting things about others.If you stay with a foreigner,you must go to he or her country to see their family or something you want to go or you like,you really can know many different and interesting things.In my view,it's help you go to another country,but money doesn't matter,because if you really love together,everything isn't problems.Eventually,if you are married to your lover,and then you got a baby,your children can study overseas,it's good for your children career.Many family want to let their children go abroad and study,but in fact that is very expensive.If you live with a foreigner,it's easy to make children have a good career.In my mind,this is good for children's lives.
Anyway,international relationships have two different sides that good or bad.But if you don't have a strong heart to face the emotion problem,I advise you should find the same country people is better for you.

Martin - Advantages of same sex marriage

In my point of view, same sex marriage should be allowed in all country. Nowadays, having a same sex partner is very common for most society. Allowing same sex marriage would lead the society to be more open-minded. According to Proffessor Hoco, allowing same sex marriage could broaden one's friendship network, rather than discriminating one and another. In my opinion, allowing same sex marriage could help to decrease suicide rate in a country, and it is also a result of society's welfare which all governments want to achieve. Besides that, it can also enhance human rights among the society. Based on a recent research from Human Rights University (HRU), countries that value human rights, such as, Australia, America and England, has higher standard quality of life and also stronger economy compare to countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and India that doesn't value human rights. In addition, human rights in a country does not only benefit the society, it also benefits both the society and a country's economy. Moreover, supporting same sex marriage could also benefit countries that are over populated, such as China. In China, it is against the law to have more than one child. The couple will face a certain amount of penalties if they break the law. According to China News, it stated that 76% of married couple abort their child, because they couldn't afford to pay the fines to have another child. In my point of view, same sex marriage should be allowed and also supported in China to decrease or either distinguish the cruelty of child abortion.

Mai - Skinny people shouldn't go on diets.

Going on a diet has become a way of life, for you can see weight loss advertisement  anywhere. It is good for fat people, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for skinny people. I      show     it causes some diesases for skinny people and     it has bad influence for young people. Finally,I     refute the other side of the argument.
In my opinion, skinny people shouldn't go on diets. It is unhealthy and there isn't enough nutrition for the body. People need to get some kind of well-balanced food . Skinny people already look unhealthy. They don't need go on diets anymore. I'm afraid that going on a diet for them causes some dieases. There are a number of people suffering from anorexia and bulimia. Researchers reported that even skinny couch potatoes have an increased risk of heart disease. Once they get these diseases, it is difficult to recover from them. At the worst, it might result in death. These illnesses are not physical, but mental. Such people don't think they are skinny, which means they never stop dieting. People who get diseases try to eat and if they can eat, they get guilty feelings and as a result  they vomit everything.


It has bad influence for younger people. They admires the skinny people and they think skiny is good and attractive.Especially teenagers are interested in model for magazine,who are very skinny and they dress very well.Teenager think the model should be skinny. Nowadays, the model company employs the super models who aren't skinny to stop going on a diet for them.In 2006 the Spanish Government made a rule that any girl whith a body mass index(BMI) of less than 18 would not be allowed to model in catwalk shows.
This is why skiny people shouldn't go on a diet but should eat more and be fat. It looks better and it is healthier.


On the other hand, other people have suggested skinny people should go on a diet. For example, people who organize idols and models force skinny people to go on a diet. Those people think they should be skinny and keep it. If they get fat, they should be fired.It is strict for them.A lot of teenager are crazy about diet, which means they are at the susceptible age and care about their appearance. It is dangerous for teenagers to go on a diet, for they have a lot of ups and downs for weight in their age. Their body hasn't been mature, so even if they are fat, they shouldn't go on a diet.


In this way, going on diet doesn't suit for skinny people.Nearly everyone are interested in going on a diet, and it gets more popular. You shouldn't forget diet might cause some diseases. If you want to lose your weight, you should eat well-balanced food and excercise.For younger people, skinny might be attractive,but it isn't healthy.There is more to diet than not eating.

Sandra - Against organ donation

Organ donation is a controversial topic because some people think is a good way for helping people, but the true is that you need to care your body and nobody can change or take some parts of it.  First, the people can't save lives, only God can do this, and for this reason, Organ donation is against the our religious relief. Also, if the science or the doctors take your body parts, they are damaging the Spirit and it can't rest in peace. The true is nobody can change his or her body because God write in the Bible that if you make this, you are violenting his divine word. Secondly, the sick people have illnesses because they made something bad in them past, and this is the punish that God put this people for paying them bad actions. The people must live with them punish and they must resolve its for themselves, and nobody can change this. Also,  if the people change for the better and they are acting correct in them lives, God will cure them illnesses, and he, only he will give a second opportunity for this person. In addittion, the family can suffer a lot with this tramit because they will have to suffer if the person took this decision and maybe, they can feel gulity in the future too. Eventualliy, the person must sign his authorized but the family must live the situation and they will live this paintful process. The fact is the person will be to condemn or sentence to live in the devil and the family will feel guilty and they won't have peace again in them lives. In conclusion, Organ donation is a bad way and a bad practice because this is against God statements and if you don't practice them you will go to the Devil.

Yusuke - education should'nt be free. -

In my opinion ,all of education shouldn't be free.
First of all, education have already become really big business nowaday so if it was free, who would pay for school? if government paid for schools instead students , it would be such a huge money. economy might fall consequently.Secondly, I believe that people must be lazy in that situation. i mean students don't have to compete each other so education level might be getting lower otherwise there are a lot of type of exam in many circumstances. For example job hunting ,to get qualifications and language test like IELTS. i think competition makes people doing well thus it is necessary in education.

Roy - Marriage Age (opposite)

In my point of view, it is a good idea to get married when you find someone you love even if you are very young. It is very difficult to find a true love. If you find someone you think is, don't let him/her go. Get married, believe your love. According to Roy's research 80% people think the true love is the first one, but because of lots of reasons, they didn't get married. 50% people regret doing this. Don't make marriage so difficult. If they think marriage is really difficult, they will never get married! According to Roy's experience, lots of people get married very late only because they're afraid about marriage. Many people broke up, because they don't trust each other any more.Early marriage can give them a long time to live together. If they get married when they are 18 years old and they die at 70 years old, so they can live for 52 years together.All in all, believe your love and get married as soon as possible.

Nora - Organ donation

  In my opinion,organ donation is a bad idea to people who want donate their organ. While people don't know what is going to happen after they died. I think they don't want anyone cut a a part from their body.First of all, itis about religions. Areligious do believe that they can cycle life if they keep the whole body or they believe they have goast. Their goast will live in heaven. For example, Chinese do believe that died people have goast. Why you donate your body to someone you don't know to influence your next life? Even they don't want cremation the died body. They put died people into a wood coffin and put it underground. I think keep the whole body for died people is respect. Secondly. even you donate your body to hospital or any charity, you shoule becareful.They may sale your organ in an illegal way. Nowaday, many people are waiting for organ, so some people they see the business from these really sick people. They may give your family some money to buy your organ and sale to others in high price. Sometims the price that you can't imagine it. That is in an illegal ways. Do you stil  want donate your organ when you know that? Finally, the people who donate their organ must be really sick of their body. The whole working mechanism of your body has already slow down. Maybe some healthy organ become sick but the docter doesn't know. Many people after theu change the new organ, they get another diseases. The end still doesn't change. So the best is keep what you have in your body and don't influence other's life. In the conolusion, donate your organ is a bad idea!

Some students from Andrew's Class - Free time in Perth

what to do in your freetime in perth

Do you feel bored? Do you want to fill in your freetime? No problem. In this article you will find some ideas to perke up your freetime.
First of all you need money. To earn some you can search a part time job, for instance as a waiter, kichen hand, bar-tender and many more. In fact, as a student you don't have a lot of time to do a job but in some restaurant you can choose a suitable time for yourself  if you find a job in Perth. And the salery , for a student , that you earn is quite high, for example student who's under age can earn about 9 or 10 dollers per hour and for who's over 18 denfinitely can earn more than that , so I think doing a part time job also is a good way to spend your boring free time in Perth. Besides that, as a student we only can work for 20 hours in one week , so that you still have had some leisure time to do other things.

When you have money, you can enjoy your nightlife after you study or your job. You can go to KTV if any of your friends have a birthday party. You may stay there for whole night with your friends. You may drinking or singing until everyone get drunk. Some of them may decide to go to night club to dance or drink. It is a good place to relax when you feel pressure from your study or job. You can dance with someone you may don't know them and also you can make new friends in there. For some of them who don't like the place are very noise, they may stay at home or go to their friend's house to play computer games or play cards together and it is more cheap than you go to  Ktv or nightclub.

Apart from earning money and drinking u want to focus on your social life. Perth is an cosomopolitan city and a lot fo nationalities are living peaceful together. Now wonder there are a lot of diffrent social groups.
Do you want to learn spanish, for example? No problem, every monday some people meet in the "Happy Elephant" in Northbridge to improve there spanish skills.
Or are you fed up in doing exercises every day alone? Well than you should join the "fit in Perth" group. Every morning the meet in Kingspark.It's for free and fun is guaranteed.
Now for all the wimen outside. Do you Want to meet some conspecifics and have a great time? Well then just pump in to the "American Women's Club of Perth", a non-profit organisation focused on friendship.
Now are you pondering to join one of them? Just go to www.bcl.au/perth/intgroup.htm.

All in all we hope you won't be bored anymore.

Billy-How internetional students studying in oversea become more independent

Nowaday,a lot of students go to another country for study,some stdents living in oversea become more independent than their own country.
In fact,some of students are dependent before they go abroad.They lived in their own country always depend on their parents.However,when they go abroad,they change their life style,they become more independent in oversea.
There are some reasons make them more independent.Firstly,they have to do everything by themsevles.They are the first time living without their parents,they have to cooking by themsevles,but I think any student never cooking in their own country,so cooking is diffcult for oversea students.They must leran how to cooking.Secondly,some students choose to find a part-time job when they go abroad,so,they can eran some money by themselves,they can buy something what they want and get some social experience.Because they have job,they get the money is enough for their life,their parents can just pay tuition for them.They help their parents save a lot of money and get more work experience,it is good for their development.Thirdly,students need to learn to solve their own problems,for example,pay the water bill,recharge their telephone,apply school and so on.Encounter any difficulty or unfair, even if a friend help, but in the end, you must a man to bear and resolve.
All in all,study abroad means not only change a learning environment, a change of life style, the more means that from now on for our actions have control, and something to bear, will make the rational choice, can mature judgment and to deal with all the things about yourself.

Yusuke; Benefits when international students are job hunting.

Today I'll talk about What kind of benefits international students can have when they are job hunting in other countorise,Then I would like to compare between Japan and Australia.
Firstly, there is a big difference in the situation, which is temporary jobs for international students. In Australia, they can be interviewed for any kind of job they want. On the other hand, in Japan, generally they can have only easy jobs for which speaking Japanese is not a requirement . I think that why Japanese employers make much of communicating to customers. I mean when we work for a restaurant as a waiter for example, we should be really polite, speak Japanese corrrectly and should smile anytime even if the restaurant is like fast food, so international students should have skills of talking which is really difficult even if the person is Japanese.
It takes a long time to get a job because international students should study a lot to have that skills that why Japanese doesn't have similar langueges. But then in Australia when they talk with customers, they behave friendly and pleasantly which is not rude even if the restaurant is not so expensive. Thus, if someone doesn't speak very well, it doesn't matter but tring not to be shy or withdrawn is necessary.
Secondly, there is another situation which is full time job. I think Japan and don't have such a big difference in this situation because recently there are a lot of English speaker in Japan so if we speak English conpletely I don't think it will help you a lot . i guess English is getting more and more necessary than before. However , In Australia if you speak a second language, it will be a strong point .
The overall idea of the essay is that in the situation of job hunting , Japan has more harsh conditions than Australia but it will be helpful to lean others languages anyway.

Advantages and Disadvantages of studying in Australia (Perth)

We are thinking about the issue, why people are choosing Australia as country for their studies abroad. Australia is a big country, one of the most interesting places to live in the world. You can find amazing things, big opportunities, studying and working. It is a countries that offer you many ways to spend your free time and also it has some disadvantages, which you should know.

One of the advantages is, that people in Australia are friendly, openhearted, and uncomplicated in communication. This is important for studying in a foreign country. When I would ask something, and don't find the right word to explain, it is important, that the person, to whom I'm speaking, is friendly and patient until I have found the words. Good is, when the person tries to communicate with me in an uncomplicated style.
And the other one is the "entertainment in Australia, especially Perth". Actually, we have several entertainments such as North Bridge to drink, billiards, casino and more, yet they are still boring for international students to enjoy night life or have a lot of fun. However, they might help international students to concentrate to study English, for there are not enough entertainments around Perth city, in addition to it, even the shops close around 5 to 5:30 pm, so nothing disturbs you by studying. In another words, Perth is the best place to study because of the lacks of entertainment.
There are as well disadvantages: When you are studying during the day or working, in Australia is a little bit difficult to do your daily shopping. Because the shops are only open from 9 am until 5 pm. The class finishes at 3:15 in the afternoon. So there isn't much time for to buy daily stuff.
It's a little bit confusing for some countries, for example Swiss, Italian or French people, that they are driving on the other side on the street. Passing the street means, that you have to look first on the other side as usual. In case you rent a car you have to get used to drive on the left side in the spinning  top. You have to know that the shift is  on the left side as usual on the right.
To come to Australia is a real dream for many people, although there are some disadvantages that make people big changes in our life. Students choose Perth without thinking about the long travel from countries such as Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, Colombia and others. It means the time everyone is completely different and you have to adapt to it. On the other hand when you arrive, you realise that the cost of life here is too expensive. You can't imagine, how much the medical issues cost. You must have good health insurance. Living in Australia obliges you to change your food habits, unless you don't miss your own fruit and products, all food tastes very different.

Australia is a wonderful country to live, to study and to work. It has great places, friendly people and amazing wildlife. Alternatively, some countries people might feel the inconvenience of living in Australia such as transports, the closing time of all shops, the lacks of an entertainment, and more, yet they just require to get used to living in Australia as soon as they can, after that they would forget about it completely!

Sara, Lucy, Anastasiya - Language barrier

Travelling is an exiting and interesting experience that everyone wants to do, but it could have many difficulties; beacuse of the language, culture, manners, religgion, education and other things are very different in each in country, it could be a unique experience for each person.

The main problem of going to another country is the language; beacuse communication is very important when you need to be understood, like when you go to the supermarket or if you want to find an address, and sometimes it could be frustating when you can not express your needs.
So when we are trying to express ourselves we don't use words in the polite way, therefore sometimes we are considered as rude people, but it is not the way we are in reality. In fact those situations nowadays are called  the language barrier.

In summary, although travelling is one of the favorite things for many people, we should be sure to use a right way to express our feelings and needs. Even though the language barrier is a real situation for everyone who travels without a good knowlege of language; we shouldn't to be afraid of someone's opinion or make mistakes beacuse anyway you will be forced to experience it.

Cassia - Learning another language: the challange of communication

An ancient czech proverb says that "you live a new life for every new language you speak. If you know only one language, you live once"(Omniglot writing systems & languages of the world, 2011). It means that learning a foreign language, you can also live a different life and have new experiences. This can help you in many aspects of your life. An efficient way to do all this things is to become a international student. However, learning a foreign language is not only benefits, you also have challenges to face with.

Learning a foreign language is important to your communication and integration. It gives you a better understanding of other cultures and ways of thinking. It also turns your life easier, for example, when you are travelling you can get your ticket, buy food, go places, etc. Other benefits include to socialize and make friends. And also it is good for bussiness, because it helps you to make sales, to negotiate, increase your chances of finding a new job or getting a promotion. At least, learning another language is very useful and there are different ways to get it.

The best way to learn a foreign language is to live abroad. When you are living in another country is easier to improve your language because you can practise everyday in different situations, not only in the classroom. Some people around the world travel to other countries to learn another language and also to have a new experience. The number of the international students is increasing. For example, in Perth, there isn't so many brazilian students for ten years ago. However the experience to live and study abroad is efficient to improve your language skills, it could be also difficult sometimes.

If you want to learn another language for different reasons, it could give you a lot of benefits how mentioned before, but also you can find some difficulties. It requires investiment of time, money and effort. In addition, the language is the first barrier encountered by international students. This kind of language barrier make many students feel helpless and over stressed. The difficulty to communicate can be a big problem, but also can be a challenge to make you keep trying. (Wikipedia, 2011)

People have different reasons to learn a foreign language. But the fact is that it helps you in many aspects, in your social life, intellectually and in business. More than that, learning another language gives you a better understanding of other cultures, ways of thinkings and understanding your own language. The best way to learn it is to live abroad as an international student, because you can practise everyday in different situations. However, the language barrier can be the main trouble for them. The communication's difficulties can be a problem, but also can be a challange that motivates you to study more.

Roy International student health problems

Nowadays many students choose to study abroad. There are many things you have pay attention to,like health. So what should we do if we meet the health  problems.In this essay, medical insurance will be discussed as well as the food problem.Finally some advice will be provided.
International students have medical problems in their life, because they are living in a new environment.the fact that they live alone and they don't have the welfare as the local people. They have to pay more money. Some of my friends who are studying abroad are suffering from this problem. When they feel sick, they won't go to the hospital, instead of this, they just stayed at home to have some relax or take the medicine brought from their own country. For example, one of my classmates from Thailand had a toothache, but she didn't have the insurance, so she had to pay the whole fee, about 300dallers per tooth. As we see the medical welfare of international students is not good, but the food is also important for them. 
Unhealthy food is another problem, especially for international students that lived in a different country and the food is different from their motherlands. Sometimes they don't know whether the food is health or not, and just think it might be a different kind of food. For example, a Brazilian student, lived with her home-stay, suffered from the food poisoning, which caused a stomachache. But the home-stay said there is nothing wrong with the food, just a different kind. So food is important for people especially health food.  
There are some pieces of advice. When they go to a new country, make sure they have got an insurance that can be used in the country which they're going to. Be careful about the food, if it doesn't taste well, throw it and find something you like to eat.
All in all, if they study abroad they will have lots of problems. In general health is one of the most important things that you have to be careful.

Angel:Why do International students become independent when they are studying overseas?

International students become more and more independent than before,because they are studying overseas and without their parents.But why international students will become independent when they are studying abroad?
In this essay,independent is very important for students.
Also,if they want to go to another country and study there,they must pay a lot of money for this situation.
Finally,they must hard to study by themselves to improve their spoken language and then they can easy to find a good job for a bit salary.
The fact that they need to live with another person as stranger or some foreigner family,means that they need to develop their language skills.First time,they don't know each other,maybe the students will be shy so it's difficult to explain what do they think.
Some students at home-stay should do their housework by themselves,and cook lunch or dinner too.Sometimes they want to wash their clothes or something,they need to wash that by hand not washing machine.
For example,I want to wash my shoes,but I'm very lazy,I don't want to wash it by myself.Before my mother often help me wash my shoes,but now nobody can help me.So I must wash it by myself.
On the other hand,I found some information said many overseas students are starting courses at Cambridge University next year.Under the proposals, many international arts and students will pay at least $20,000 a year, while some science courses will cost almost $30,000.
We know,nowadays studying overseas is very expensive,sometimes we need to earn more extra money to do another things.That's the reason why international students need to become independent.
And then,some students must study a long time in that country.Exactly,they are only one person live in there for a long time,everything they must do themselves.If they can't take care of themselves,they might be sick all the time.That's mean,they should make themselves become more independent than they lived in their country.
Anyway,they have to get used to living without their parents.
In short,international students become independent when they are studying overseas.

Martin - Benefits of Studying Abroad

Studying abroad is a great opportunity that everyone should do. It is because most of the people that studied abroad had improve their jobs prospect, English language and self development. In this essay, I will explain about part of the benefits of studying abroad.

Jobs prospect is in fact important in our life. A person without any experi ence or education would have trouble getting a good job or a job that one is interested in. For example, exporting and importing companies, are most likely to employ workers that have experiences with culture of foreigners.

On the other hand, self development could also be achieve while studying abroad. It is the main key to our life but most of the people fail to do achieve it. Self development include positive thinkings, goal settings, positive affirmations, how to achieve success and so on. It is an achievement that can be learn during studying abroad.

Other than that, independency could also be learnt while studying abroad. Nowadays, youngsters are getting worst on relying their parents or other people to do their work or to do something for them. Comparing to youngsters in the 70's, they even have to start working when they are in primary school to earn money to buy food for their breakfast and dinner. Why a younster's independency could be achieve while studying abroad? It is because students that study abroad alone have to start to learn to do their own chores such as washing clothes, tidying bedroom, washing up cutlery after using it instead of just leaving it aside and others will clean it up for them. This is also one of the main reason that parents would choose to send their children to overseas to study rather than studying in their home country.

After all, despite the benefits given, there are much more benefits to study abroad, and you will be surprised that you have totally changed who you are from when you first studied abroad.
