Malaysian Muslim rules (Alex & Slyvia)

One of the rules which makes malaysian muslims can't kiss each other and can't have a sex before they get married is that they have a strong religion rule.
If they did one of this things before marriage and someone see them , they will be punish by court.
Accoding to the malaysian goverment the average of the muslim divorce is very low.
I known one couple who was in jail for two years because they kiss each other in the public.
The rules from the kuran make the muslim marriage to be on a very low average.

In addition, muslim women have to wear proper muslim clothes.
They can't wear clothes like other religions for example short-sleeved or mini skirt.If they wear ,they might be looked down on by other religions who live in malaysia.
Accoding to the malaysian rules , they have to wear long-sleeved shirt , long skirt , and they have to cover their hair with a scarf call " hijab ".
Even if the temperature is over 40 ' c ,they must wear muslim clothes.
In other religions this is unacceptable .

Finally, muslim man can have more than one wife but the maximum wifes they can have are four .
If you're rich you can have four wifes but you have to separate  everything in equal .
Accoding to the kuran only rich people can have four wifes .
For example, my neighbour has three wifes now and they get on well .
This is a muslim rules that other religions don't have .

                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                         

Which is better one child or sibling

          Having a sibling is better than one child or not,of course,There are some advantages of having one child or with a sibling were better able to make and maintain friendships.
          Many of child will feel lonely when he/she stays at home alone.That mean when children stay at home alone,they can do nothing expcept playing computer games or reading,so they con not share their feeling with orthers which make them miss the fun of growing up with a brother or sister
          According to some family.They said that on TV when their children were teenage,So they have to look after their children carefuly because their children  have some secrets can not tell their parent such as have a boy/girl friend didn't pass an exam also when they did something wrong,It is difficult to tell their parents.
         the adventages of one child can be that you get undivied attention of your parents,So that means your parents have only you to spend the money and not have to share it among orther things.An only child can also grow up to be selfish adult.
        Being an only child ether good or bad it depends on how your perceive and how you are brought up by your parents.  

Extreme Religious Practises

    Through the years our society has evolved. That means that our way of living has progressily changed, including cultural and religious.
    Focusing in religion, some of them have relaxed their rutinal practise and have tried to change them, but other ones are keeping traditional practise that are sometimes object of extreme criticism.
    Nowadays,muselin women keep covering their bodies or even their faces following their religion or in some countries are not allowed to work or even study because their duties are just at home looking after their children and husband.
    In our particular view, those practise should be completely abolish because it doesn't respect, in mostly of cases the women's rights of thinking about their own prepartion is not considered.
    Many people pray for their lives, but they get nothing. It's a useless method to make your life better.A large number of poor people in the world are praying to god, but they are still poor. In one particular example , one woman prayed a lot, but she was absolutely useless to do everything, so she was poor.It's unreliable to pray without struggling. That's why extreme religious practises shouldn't be allowed.

Carolina and Hahn - AMAZON DEFORESTATION

The discussion of how to preserve the Amazon Forest is a very important topic. In this essay we select some of the reasons why it is important to preserve the Amazon Forest such as the oxygen producing, protection of animals and plants and the wrong use of the forest.
The main solution for this big problem is Reforestation.
The most important reason of preserving the Amazon Forest is the oxygen producing which is essential for pleople's lives. With the wrong use of the forest it's getting deforasted very fast which is dangerous for pleople's lives because it can finish the oxygen production.
In 500 years the forest is in a critical period because of the illegal and out of control deforestation even for the government control.
Every year people cut down the trees to export wood and they use the land to take care of animals like cows and use it to export beef to Europe and some other conutries.
The Amazon is very important to the Earth's oxygen production because of fresh air that keeps people's health.
As well as the oxygen production, is important to protect the forest environment, so you are protecting all animals and any kinds of plants which live in the forest.
The animals need the nature where they can find the food to eat, and they can maintain race.
There are a lot of countries and organizations which in different ways try to protect the animals which have been exterminated by deforestation. Such as schools which encourage and call upon their students to plant the new trees in schools or in the places where they live. Nowadays people have a way of living more friendly with preserving animals and plants especially some kinds of them that they havea few alive.
Eventhough people have better behaviours to protecting creatures and plants everywhere in the world, the Amazon Forest is always important, for its has the best particular condition for protecting animals and plants.
Humans use the forest for many different kinds of things such as the use of wood to make paper, houses and little boats, but to preserve the forest people must think about reforestation and other alternatives.
Along the years the forest has been deforested without people thinking about it and its future effects.
People who have business related with the forest just go and take from the forest all they need. A recent study shows that more than half of the forest territory was already deforested.
Some people need to build houses and communities with structure like little boats, little bridges; some companies earn lots of money doing paper, and as mentioned before some people earn money exporting products that was taken from the forest.
It's a problem known all over the world and people discuss the alternatives further to preserve and "save" the forest.
The main way is Reforestation which means when you take some wood from the forest, or cut down trees you must replant a large quantity of trees to replace it and assure the forest preservation.
Preseving the forest is keeping the life in the world.
The discussion is useful to warn about this problem and keep thinking of good and efficient solutions.

Pietro & Florian - Transperth is awesome !!!

Transperth is very important in our every day life. We need it to travel to school, work and pub. So it is necessary that public transport is well organized, especially in big cities like Perth. Furthermore it is very improtant that the journey we take daily is safe and punctual.

Commuters arrive safely and quickly to their destinations, because bus and train drivers are very able to drive in Perths traffic. In Fact during last months, no accidents happened and the avarage of punctuality was very high. That one was about 92% : it means commuters don't have to wait so long to take public transport, actually it is a very good thing.

Secondly, the avarage of passangers spend over an hour to get to work, school or home. Thinking of that transperth is making sure that trains and buses are clean. Furthermore they use gas instead of petrol to keep enviroment pollution -free. According to the Minister of transport, since transperth buses  run on gas , the emission of CO2 is 50% less. In addition, the big advantage is that gas  is relatively cheaper than petrol.
" Not only we keep the enviroment less polluted, but on the other hand we try to improve the cleanliness in our buses and trains.

Finally, Transperth offers  to students a concession. Through that students can save money, because the ticket price is lower than the regular one. In fact they can benefit a discount of 35% upon the normal price.

To sum up,Transperth is among the best in public transportation system.

Jailbreaking your Iphone

One of the main interesting aspect of jailbreaking and unlocking an iphone is that you can choose your phone company.
Phones are usually locked with their own company, if you jailbreak your iphone, you will be able to use them with any company.
When you buy a new iphone in a shop, you probably get a plan for one or two years and a locked phone.
I a got my propoer iphone in Switherland and tried to use a australian's sim card on it, but it doesn't work. This problem concerne a lot of international people in Perth.
The only way for me to use my phone is to unlock it.


Another advantage is that you can set up free application on your iPhone. Normally you need to download every files from Apple's store, yet with a jailbreaked iPhone you can use other stores to get free applications.
Indeed, If you jailbreak your phone whith Cydia, you can access to free theme, games, ringtones and dictionary.
Jailbreaking iPhone can save a huge amount of money and increase the number of application you can downlaod.

It seems unfair to people who invent the application, because they should earn money for their creative work.
Application have copy right and normally cannot be downloaded without paying. If you intall stolen applications, the designer of the application will never receive his saraly.
Angry bird, a very popular game, has been downloaded without paying by more than 1000 people, so the software company who create this game lose a lot of money.

Homelessness in Australia

One of the biggest problem in Australia is homlessness, but this factor doesn't have a reason to be, because this is a rich country. in this essay, I will give more information about why Australia shouldn't have homelessness.

In Australia, everybody including foreigners is able to get a job easily even if they don't have qualification or dominion of the language. That is why a lot of people want to come to Australia to change their life into better condition. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, 98.3% of foreigners are able to get a job within the two weeks of arrival. Me, as an overseas student, can get a job easily.

Even if prices in Australia are higher, people still can live with the lowest salary, for mininum wage rate of different ages is fixed by the government to have the mininum amount of money to survive.

Yuka Robert

 The formal definition of learning describes the process as permanent change in our behaviours based on our personal experience. Learned behaviours may exist for a life time, but they also not appear throughout our live. Every each of us has on natural learning preference, so that you can learn in others ways not just in prefered style,
One of the very commun method of learning is De Bono's 6 hats theory which has been used in thousand companies all over the world, there are 6 metaphirocal hats and the thinkier can put on or off one of those to show the type of thinking being use. so we have colored hats as folows:  white - focus, figures, red- intuicion feelings ; black- treatment ; yellow- logical thinking ; green creativity, alternatives; blue- green hat but more.
 Another technic of effective learning is John Keller's modern of motivation. He simply discribes it has for steps for improving your motivation. Attention is first of them and it can be painted in two ways; by suprised or uncertainly interst or just by curiosity. Relevance is another way second is based mostery on a learner's motivation. Confidence to help students understand they likehood for success. And finally satsisfaction, how you can achived all of these if none of it never brings you joy.

However theory of constructuvism saids that learning is an avctiv constructive process. The learner is a information constructor. New information is often connected to main knowledge. A commun miunderstanding reporting constructivism is that instrutors should never tell students anythings directly but  insteade should always allowed them to construct knowledge for themselves,
So what really is th eprocess of learning ? it's your own way to learn new things in a way you like most learning style are various they in both education methodes,
particular to an individual, The statistic say that teachers should access the learning styles of their students or adapt their classroom method to best fit each student 's learning style

Hung - Long Hours vs Short Hours

In the education system, we can find two different points of view. The first statement is about short hours inside the school with advantages and disadvantages in contrast, with the second statement with long hours in the school with their advantages and disadvantages.

The education system shows that the students are more interested and motivated in their study when they are studying for short hours because the mind is fresh and for this reason they put more attention in class in the different subjects in the school

Also the students can choose elective subjects such as sport and art. Which can improve their skill and find new opportunities in the future.

In addition, the students learn to organise their time between their lives and the school getting more independence. On the other side, short hours for studying is complicated because the students can use the free time with bad people and they can do bad things and maybe they will be rebels and the parents can lose control of their children.
\
Also, if the student spend little time in class, the knowledge in the different subjects will decrease. For this reason, it is very important that the different school have an excellent teacher and methods that the students can use for improving the knowledge and the independence in the students lives.

Long hours of studying are not always bad, it has two sides. On the good side, studying a lot will probably give you much more knowledge. You can become an expert sooner than short hours study like people say hard work help you to reduce your time spent on video games, reduce the chance that you go out and more friends with bad people because if you choose short hours you have a lot of free time so you dont know what to do. There is nobody who said why dont you just pratice by yourself. I agree with that, but if you want to do that you must do that, it is not optional. it also help parents not to be worried where their kids are at any time. One more thing is that if you succeed by this way, it will probably make your future much better than do short hours study because you have bright knowledge.

Now, on the other hand, because of too much studying for a day (10 hours or more) it causes you to feel extremely tired. You have to sit in class for the whole day, you will probably feel bored too. You want to have lots of free time to go out. Play sports with friends or do outdoor activities. 1 important thing is that pressure is quite high. For that reason, some students commit suicide because they failed in study.

All in all, both have their weakness and strengths and I think that it is the best to combine both in one. Another meaning is balance, not focusing on just one thing.

Long hours vs short hours.Advantages and disadvantagesof both - SANDRA

The education sistems are very different all over the world.Every country has other ideas and priorities about what the education is like.In the folowing text, we will duscuss advantages and disadventiges of studying long hours and short hours in school.
In some countries, students have to go to school for so many hours a day, that they sometimes spend more time in school than they can sleep.
Following this, students can be  very tired and exhauted the whole thay in school. When you study so long everyday, you lose your fun by learning.
Your mind can get crazy, because there is no refreshing. Due to the many school hours, there aren't a lot of hours for freetime left. It's imposible to switch off your brain with hobies, like playing in a sport club or making music. Sometime, the body and psyche could get sick.Partly, because the students have to sit for hours in their cheirs without any movements and secondly, because they can't think about anything else.They have to concetrate the whole day, which is absolutely impossible.After a few hours, the human concetration decreases.The children are very busy at school and there is always anyone, who keeps an eye on them.So, the parents don't have to worry about them.The students are the whole day under a strict education system.Negatively to this is that the parents don't have a much influence on there children's education, because the children have a lot to do, they often don't think about vandalisim, alcohol, drugs. Now to the contrary of long hours os study and long school days. Students who study just a few hours a day, are often quite relaxed and enjoy going to school. They are more motivated, because they have enough time after or befor school for refreshing their brains and switch off by going out, doing some sports or playing an instrument. They can decide themselves if they rather want to play or even study a bit more. So, the teacher or the parents don't always make decisions for the students. So, they can get more independent, because they have to know by themselves what is necessary.
If students have to concentrate on less subjects, they can learn more details, which is often more interesting. So, there is more space to remember something than you have to think about more themes.
Negatively is that the children have more time to get bad behaviour and do worse things, like violence. Because of the freetime of students, parents have more influence on their children's education.
It's very difficult to say which system is better, because there are always a lot of good and bad points. I think it's important, that you can find each other in the middle.
Too many hours is not good and too less hours as well. Even though, teachers and parents are important for the student's education, they should want the best for them, even for their health.

Orani - Private or group studying which is the best method

Success in education is due to a nation's education culture nowadays. Improving their scores in any tests in order to be the best in educational competition is interesting. Also preparing the children in each country to become productive members os society is required. Some people believe that private studying is the best method to learn but in my view I think that group studying gives great opportunities to students more than private studying.

Students learn a lot more in class with their peers then they can learn with teacher one by one. For example, they can have advantages of learning from the teachers, of interacting with their classmates, and of developing the responsibility it takes to be a good student.

First of all, when students attend class as groups they receive benefit of the theacher's knowledge. Good teachers do more than just go over the material. They present opposing point of view. They provide addictional activities to motivate their students. By contrast, in private studying, they can not provide any group activities or discussion to a student. Therefore, students may well lose their opportunities to learn  from the best capacity of their teachers in private studying.

Secondly, group studying also teaches students how to work with other people and as a team. In class, students have to present their ideas to their classmates. They have to defend their ideas if their classmates disagree with them, but still remain friendly when the discussion is over. They have to learn to work in groups to complete class project. Whereas private studying has no chance to inderact with other students, to share their experience, opinion, knowledge and ideas, and no chance to make new friends.

Finally, attending classes teaches students not only responsebility but also competition. They can develop a sence of responsibility at a particular place at a particular time prepares them for getting a job. Having to complete assignmonts on time also helps develop responsibility. While private studying, students haveno chance to compete to others, and don't motivate them enough to develop their scores or their assegnments.

On the other hand, private studying has some advantages in particular purpose, for instance, they can manage their own time to study, they need spercific knowledge to correct the weakness, they can concerntrate on the content without annoyans from others, or they would like to impove their scores by taking private classes after normal classes, and so on.

All in all, I rekon that students get a great many more adventages when they attend a class as groups. They get the benefits at the teachers knowledge and experience, they also learn how to work with others, and to practise a sense of responsibility and develop themselves. What's more, they can use private study in spercific purposes in order to strengthen themselves to meet their best performance in studtyiny.

Is studying abroad advantageous- Vianny

   In the 21st century students can decide which country they want to study in, because the tecnology, negotiations between different countries goverments have made it easy to travel around the world and allowed international students in different courses such as languages courses, poffessional career, posgraduate courses and techical courses. at the moment it could be a good life experience for students who want to live a real challenge.
   There are lots of advantages studying in another country .One of them is that studying in a country with different languages allowa to improve your second language. In addition you have to speak, write, read, and listento native language everyday, so that means that you are going to learn about another culture as well and enjoy different life experiences.
   Other advantage to study abroad is that you can know about another lifestyle, because all countries have different beliefs and the people enjoy life with differentactivities. Also you can start your jod experience and you can compare which system is better . However you have to know before travelling that if you start to look for a job in another country it could be difficult. Perhaps you have to start working in a job which require no qualifications while you improve your skill in the native language and you make friends in that country who could help you fine a professional job.
   If you find a job in your career in another country,l it is going to be an excellent experience, because you could learn more vocabulary about your profession and you could put that experience on your resuma which will be interesting for it. So you have to make a lot effort to survive in another country, but it could be the best decision that you have made in your life.
   Finally, it's important to recognise that the experience about studying in another country is the best, becouse you can get lots of knowledge, you can learn about other cultures and you can meet lots of people from all over the world. Also, you are going to develop a lot of professional and personal skills for your life because you are going to appreciate each moment, each person, and each material thing that you get with a lot of work.

Martin - iLecture

Nowadays, universities from all over the world are adapting a new method of teaching, which is called iLecture. It is a kind of lecture which can be watched from the university's website. This method of lecturing is convenient for everyone, but why do students still prefer to spend 15-30 minutes to travel to university to attend the lecture? in this essay, I will discuss the benefits for using iLecture, and the disadvantege of not attending a real lecture.
The first and most important reason for students to attend real lecture rather than iLecture is students that use ilecture are more likely to meet less new people or make less friends from the university.  Knowing some people from the university is important, because they are the people that can help you in doing assessment.For example,people that use iLecture could never ask for help regarding the difficulties of assessment,because they don't know anybody from the university that is doing the same unit,subject or assessment.
Secondly,students that use iLecture will cosume a large amount of data.This is also for students to attend real lecture,because recent research stated that 94% of oversea students need to work in order to support the education and necessities. Therefore, students could not afford to have an internet connection, and internet packages are too expensive for indipendent, self-funded student.
Thirdly, students prefer to attend real lectures, because additional information, such as notes written by lecturers will be given out after the lecture. Also , students can ask the lecturer for frurther understanding about the lecture given or ask the lecture for worksheets to do as homework to improve.
All in all, I highly recommend using iLecture instead of attending real lectures , because it has a lot of advantages, downloaded as an mp3 so that we can reply it again and again until we get the point. Studying in comfortable situation , means studying at anytime, anywhere in a relaxed way and for students who are working can have some flexible time to study, for instance. Even though it has some drawbacks studying iLecture, those advantages aren't a big problem.

Alex - The Best way to learn English

Learning a language is a very useful thing.The more language you know the better it is for you.Some people think it is hard and boring but learning a new language can be fun and the more language you know the richer you will be.(I don't speak about money, I speak about your knowledge inside you.)
For me the best way to learn a language is if you study in a different country. For example, if you study English in your country, you will study only for two hours and when you finished your class and you have to leave the school you will speak your native language with your friends and everyone else on the street.You will not have a lot of opportunites to improve your English in your country.Maybe you will learn the language but I think your pronouncation will not be as good as if you study English in Australia.for example.
I choose to learn English in Australia because, I think this is the best way for me to learn the language. Now I can say that I am 100% sure of my decision. In only 7 months my English is maybe 70% better and I can imagine that if I stay a few more years here how good my English will be. The best thing here is that you must speak English everywhere and so your fluency gets better and better. For me, people should come to an English speaking country to learn the English language.If you have earned some money, you don't have to be afraid to come here to Australia. Teachers here will help you a lot with your learning and studying.Maybe you will be far away from your family and friends but your English will be getting better.And you can also learn about new cultures and ways of  living. And you can make friends from all over the world.
Learning English is great fun and if you have an opprotunity you have to try to learn  the language in an English speaking country because you will learn language faster and you will have more experience in your life after living in different country for while.You should learn English because it is official language in the world and you will find a better and easier job.
